Chapter 739

Isabelle looked at him in surprise, as he earnestly sought her opinion. Astrange thought crossed her mind - what if he waited for her to agreeeven if she refused? No man had ever respected her thoughts andopinions like this before. She felt a little overwhelmed and unsure ofwhat to do.

This was the first time a handsome, wealthy man of high status hadasked her so gently for her opinion. Her heart raced faster and fasterwith each passing moment, as waves of emotions surged through her.For a long while, Isabelle didn't answer him. But Darius remainedpatient and gentle with his gaze fixed on hers. "If... you don't agree, it'sokay to take your time," he said softly. “I can wait."

He really said that! He valued her thoughts so much that he was willingto wait! Isabelle had never experienced anything like this before; it feltwonderful - almost like a gentle spring breeze caressing her cheeks.Her throat felt dry as she struggled to replace the right words. Finally, aftersome hesitation, she spoke up, "I don't disagree.”

As soon as she spoke those words, Isabelle’s cheeks flushed hotly withembarrassment and shyness.

She lowered her head, her voice soft, "Bethany is studying in theassociation, and Miss Anto, along with a few other ladies, are hermentors. Miss Andrews said she wants to groom Bethany exceptionallywell."

“You mean Sylvia?" Darius narrowed his eyes; he had heard that Sylviawas far from ordinary.

"Yeah, yeah," Isabelle’s eyes lit up as soon as she mentioned Sylvia,and her admiration and fondness for Sylvia shone through so clearlythat it couldn't be hidden.

Watching this, Darius felt a pang of jealousy, even though he knewSylvia was a woman. If not, he would've been one hundred percentjealous because the moment she mentioned Sylvia, her whole face litup.

"Miss Andrews really likes Bethany and has prepared excellentteachers for her. She has a lot of homework too," Isabelle spoke morewhen it came to her daughter.

Darius knew she had a shy personality, so he didn't interrupt her butlistened attentively, his eyes showing a hint of gentle encouragement.Isabelle blushed again. “I'm sorry if I've been talking too much..."Darius smiled reassuringly at Isabelles’ apology. "No need forapologies. I like listening,” Darius said. "Is Bethany doing well inschool?" At the time, he thought his daughter was only studying someschool courses, with maybe a special talent or two.

But when he followed Isabelle to the association, he was amazed bywhat he saw. He had always considered himself worldly andexperienced, but his eyes went wide at the sight of it all.

"Bethany is working really hard," Isabelle nodded. "Come on, I'll takeyou to her."

An hour later, they arrived at the entrance of Athena Society in a steadycar.

After Isabelle got out of the car, Darius followed her into the building.There were several large buildings inside with gardens and pondsalong with many facilities that surprised him.

A billiards room?

A shooting range?

Why would there be so many such places in a maternity and childprotection association?

As he passed by some wooden stakes, he couldn't help asking, "Whohere knows martial arts?"

Isabelle pointed to these wooden stakes. “The shorter ones are forchildren’s practice while we use taller ones.”

There were also some sandbags as well as swords...

It seemed like he had walked into an arena from a TV drama series."Why do you practice this kind of thing..." Darius suppressed his shockinside before looking incredulously at Isabelle.

"For self-defense, you know, to protect ourselves! Miss Andrews saidit's best for a girl to have some self-defense skills,” Isabelle said with asmile.

Darius pondered for a while before speaking again, "She has quiteunique ideas."

"Of course." Isabelle looked proud as she led Darius through twobuildings until they reached an empty horse-riding field corner wherethere were twenty or thirty tall horses in stables nearby.

Darius furrowed his brows; there was even a horse-riding field here?Why did she bring him here?

While he was contemplating this question, Isabelle said, "Bethany iscurrently taking horseback riding lessons."

She glanced down at her phone's time display before continuing, "Shemight need another ten minutes or so."

Horseback riding lessons?

A five-year-old child takes horseback riding lessons?

With one swift kick from the horse, the child was gone! Darius’ heartraced at the thought and Isabelle's words caused his face to pale."She's so young? How could she be taking such a dangerous class?"Isabelle extended her slender fingers and pointed towards a line ofchildren on horseback in the arena. "Have you seen them? They're alltaking riding lessons."
