Clair's body was still stiff. His aura was so warm, but she felt very cold.

“Am I right? Sister?” he exhaled and called her “Sister” like before. The slightly raised intonation at the end seemed to carry a kind of attachment.

However, she felt as if mountains were pressing down on her chest, making her almost breathless.
C

laire returned to the ward with isaac. As soon as they entered the ward isaac asked the nurse to leave.

Suddenly, there were only the two of them.
Claire was sitting rigidly on the chair, her head lowered. She didn’t know what he was going to do. If he felt that she wasn’t miserable enough after she was released from prison, and wanted to give her another stab, then why did he save her on Thanksgiving?

As long as things continued to develop, she would become more miserable, wouldn’t she?

However, no matter what he wanted to do to her, she was powerless to resist. After three years of imprisonment, she had carried a heavy burden. She understood the cruelty of fate and her insignificance.

In the eyes of those lofty people, she was just a minor figure who could be easily manipulated.

“Sister, don’t you have anything else to ask me?” An elegant voice broke the silence in the room.
Claire body trembled slightly. His voice was so pleasant. In the silent night, it was like a melody rippling in the night breeze, and exuded a sense of elegance.

She slowly looked up and saw a beautiful yet noble face-a complexion like clouds, a straight nose, thin lips with a slight smile, and a pair of amorous eyes full of shimmering light.

He stood in front of her and looked down, as if everything about her was in his control.
Claire unconsciously bit her lip. She had bitten too hard, but she didn’t feel any pain.

On the contrary, he frowned and reached out to pinch her lower jaw. He said softly, “Don’t bite your lips. It hurts.”

This gentleness was as if he was still her isaac, and not the isaac  that she was afraid of She looked at him in a daze, and unconsciously stopped biting her lips.

His finger gently brushed past her lips, leaving behind a heat so hot that she thought her lip might burn.

She jerked her head away and leaned back. “Mr. Landford.exactly when will this game end?”
His eyes dimmed slightly. “Is that all you want to ask?”

Apart from that, what else did she have to ask? In taking revenge, as to the extent of her misery, it was all up to him. She, on the other hand, could only bear with it.

Three years ago, it was like this. After three years, would there be any difference?
She didn’t say anything.

He held her hands and clasped them in his own. “Your hands are a little cold,” he said while rubbing her hands to warm them up.

This was what they had used to do before. In the past, when he warmed her hands, she would feel a warmth in her heart. However, now… she only had a kind of incomprehensible fear.

It was because she didn’t know what he was going to do.

She twisted her hand uneasily and wanted to pull away. However, his fingers held onto her tightly and did not allow her to move at all.Mr. Landford”

“Call me isaac Didn’t you always call me isaac. She pursed her red lips tightly.

“Just take it as my order, call me isaac” he muttered softly. He did not want to hear her call him “Mr. Landford , which sounded incomparably jarring to him.

Claire remained silent for a long time. Finally, she opened her mouth and softly said isaac.A smile crept up the corner of his mouth.

The pure smile made her a little absent-minded. In the past, she always felt that his smile was very clean, as if it had not been contaminated by the world, and she wanted to protect that pureness.

However… isaac.

In Emerald City, perhaps no one would say that isaac was clean. It was said that his hands were covered in the blood and tears of countless people. It was also said that he was cold-blooded and ruthless. Once someone provoked him, there would not be a good ending.

However, in this city, no one dared to provoke him.

It was ridiculous that in the past, she had thought of protecting such a person.

“When I first met you, I did just take it as a game. But later on, it was quite pleasant to get along with you.” He had never explained himself before. However, now he was, and to her. If anyone else heard, they would be surprised. “How about you stay by my side in the future?”

“Stay by your side?” She looked at him in shock. She had never thought that he would make such a request.

“If you stay with me, I’ll let you live the same life as before. No, I should say it’ll be better than before. As long as it’s not an excessive demand, I can promise you anything. You used to be a lawyer, right? I can help you regain your lawyer’s license. It won’t be a problem if you want to open a law firm either,” he said.

In the past, she had thought that once she had gained more experience, she would set up her own law firm. However, it simply became an unrealistic daydream.

Now isaac had actually said these words to her. It was as if someone was dangling some alluring fruit in front of her and tempting her to eat it.

“Why?” she asked in confusion. “Didn’t you say you wanted to get back at me?”

“If I really wanted to take revenge on you, then I wouldn’t have saved you the day before yesterday. Isaac smiled faintly and said, “I already said that the feeling of getting along with you is pretty good. Hence, I will keep you by my side.”

“And then wait until you are tired of me?” she said. Was this still a game for him, a sister and brother game he had never played before? He was so gentle and kind to her now, just because there was still a sense of novelty.

“Tired of her?” isaac thought that he might not be tired of her for the rest of his life. However, at this moment, talking to claire he just calmly said the word “yes”.

He would never allow a woman to control him.

“Sure enough! Claire sighed in her heart. Once he got tired of the game, she would fall from the clouds into hell again.

“If you wish to put me on a pedestal and then let me fall, you don’t have to go through so much trouble. I’m already miserable. I’m just a sanitation worker with little money to my name and I was kicked out of my house. Or do you want me to kneel before irish beckett grave and ask for forgiveness? Or do you want me to take my life, a life for a life…”

“Enough!” He interrupted her. “She would rather believe I did these things to avenge irish beckett and not the fact that I like spending time with her?” He then continued, “Listen to me. Irish beckett  is not worth me doing such things. All you have to do is stay by my side.”

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at her hands that were clasped in his. “Although I’ve spent half a day rubbing her hands, they are still very cold.
