Chapter 280

Isabella knew that Hunk and the others were probably guarding nearby. Given their loyalty to Anthony, there was no way she and her family could slip away from under their noses. Hence, they chose to take the small path, quietly crossing the river and leaving in the opposite direction from the wooden bridge. Seeing that they were getting farther away from the cabin, they finally dared to gasp for breath.

An hour had passed since they left. The family climbed onto another road to see if there were any passing cars. Only when they were far enough away could they feel relieved to plan their next destination. Just then, à beam of car lights shone from a distance. Isabella reached out to stop the car, which stopped before her. The tires made a harsh braking sound on the road, and the wind carried by the car startled Theodore in her arms, causing the child to move restlessly, Isabella hurriedly comforted him with a soft voice. When she looked up, her eyes met Anthony’s in the passenger seat. The man’s face was expressionless, and it was as if his existence was emitting danger signals. Isabella’s head suddenly went blank. and her body kept trembling, even almost failing to hold Theodore firmly.

Seeing Isabella’s abnormal look. George and Layla came forward in confusion. “Izzy, what’s wrong?”

Immediately after, the two also noticed Anthony and hurriedly protected Isabella behind them, glaring with hostility at the man, who got out of the car slowly. George uttered. Izzy, we’ll block his way. Take Theo and leave.”

Anthony had reverted to his previous appearance and didn’t deliberately hide his aura, which frightened the elderly couple. Yet, the couple were determined to let Isabella escape first. They had lost a daughter; they couldn’t lose Isabella as well. Anthony didn’t care about them blocking him He stood before them, staring straight at Isabella, who was scared silly, Smiling gently, he said. “Still wanna run?”

The familiar question made Isabella’s body tremble further. Theodore might fall to the ground from her arms at any time. Anthony wanted to hold the child but was stopped by the elderly couple. Layla warned, “With us here, don’t you try bullying her.” Isabella was touched upon seeing them protecting her like this, wondering what she had done to deserve such selfless love from them

Having his patience running out, Anthony ordered Hunk, “Ask the old couple to step aside.”

“Yes, sir.” Hunk obeyed and approached to pull the couple away, which the latter fought back desperately.

The scene overlapped with the one from more than a year ago. Fearing that her parents would get hurt, Isabella kept shaking her hand and said, “No, you can’t hun them”

She was having a breakdown, and Theodore was about to fall from her arms. Anthony stepped over and caught the chili Isabella turned agitated, wanting to snatch him back. Due to the noises, Theodore woke up. Frightened by the scene of the two arguing, he burst into tears. His voice was loud, echoing powerfully through the silent mountain. Anthony couldn’t comfort the child, and seeing that Isabella couldn’t either in her state, he handed Theodore over to Layla. The child gradually quieted down in the hands of a familiar person. The next moment. Anthony ordered, “Send them back to the cabin.”

After pondering for a while, he added, “Remember to keep them safe.

He didn’t want the previous incident to repeat, or he would have no chance to be with Isabella again, even if he strongly insisted. After that, he pulled Isabella to leave. Feeling worried, Isabella’s parents wanted to follow them, but Hunk stopped them and said, “Please rest assured. Mr. Clar won’t do anything to Ms. Davis. You should return to the cabin with me, Don’t frighten the child.” The two knew they had no other choice and could only follow Hunk and the others back

Meanwhile, Anthony drove Isabella to a quiet place. Sitting in the passenger seat, Isabella gave up struggling after hearing that Anthony wouldn’t hurt her parents. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was unusually quiet. Anthony tried hard to control his temper. He didn’t expect to scare her again after finally replaceing her. After a long time, he finally spoke. “Why did you run away? Did I not express myself obviously today? For you, I can pretend I haven’t regained my memory and stay with you. Why’re you still abandoning me?

Anthony no longer had a sharp appearance, like an abandoned child seeking pitiful love. Even so, Isabella was still afraid of him. She moved as close to the car door as she could, her body trembling violently. Seeing the lack of response, Anthony leaned toward the passenger seat Isabella yelled out of fright, but Anthony still said persistently, “You wanna leave me so badly, huh? Do you know how long I’ve been looking for your Do you have any idea how crazy I get thinking about you every day!”

Can’t you just treat me as dead!

Why look for me?” Isabella said sobbingly. Even though she was afraid, she still persuaded, “Anthony, there’s no future between us

“Why isn’t there! Theodore is my child, and you’ve seen how much he likes me. Can you bear to leave your child without a father?” Anthony ut through gritted teeth with reddened eyes,

Isabella shook her head. “I feel afraid just by seeing you. I can’t be with you.”

“Afraid of me.” Anthony repeated, then explained anxiously. “Because you think I killed your family. I’ve already explained; I didn’t do it. I just wanted to use them to force you to compromise. I never thought they would die.

your paranoia, didn’t they?” Isabella asked with a frown.

“No matter how they died, they did because of yo

Anthony stared at her depressed face for a long time. Finally, he replied, “It’s impossible for you to leave me. What will it take for you to forgive

“What if I say I want those who destroyed my family to pay with their lives?” asked Isabella.

Anthony said, “Til fulfill your wish”

Isabella said, “Even if they’re from your family!”

“Yeah. If I had a hand in this

is too, Til stab myself twice, stated Anthony.

Isabella widened her eyes, breathing rapidly. After a while, she made up her mind and looked up firmly. Since she couldn’t escape, she might as well take advantage of Anthony’s madness to seek revenge. “Okay. Once I’ve avenged my family, I’ll fulfill your request”

“Really?” Anthony had been waiting for this sentence for so long, but he somehow couldn’t believe it now,

Isabella didn’t want to say anymore, turning her head toward the window. “Let’s go back to the cabin. I don’t know if Theodore is frightened”

Due to Isabella’s change of attitude, Anthony’s eyes were filled with a light of hope. He lud prepared for the worst, including imprisoning her again, but he didn’t expect her to agree. Feeling overjoyed, he couldn’t help but turn Isabella’s head over and do what he hadn’t dared to do in the past few days as he said. “In that case, I’ll ask for a reward first.
