Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan)

Victoria had never seen Nathan so dejected before. He seemed like a broken puppet, falling from the sky and shattered into pieces, completely lifeless.

"Nathan, what happened to your company?" Victoria asked with concern.

Nathan used to be so confident and full of spirit at the business table, but now he is so dejected and disheartened. "If Isabella doesn't withdraw from this competition, I will most likely end up in failure." Victoria's face turned pale in an instant.

If Nathan failed, it would mean that her love would also be shattered.

She never dreamed that the once inconspicuous Isabella would one day pose such a great threat to her. Victoria and Nathan were probably preoccupied with their own thoughts, as they remained silent throughout the journey.

Nathan took Victoria to the Moore family, and the two lovers even forgot to bid each other goodnight. Victoria entered the house in a daze, unlocking the door.

When she came to her senses and was about to bid Nathan goodnight, Nathan's car had already disappeared in the dust.

Her face became even paler.

Nathan's neglect made her uneasy.

"Dad," Victoria saw Master Moore and immediately started crying and complaining. "You must do something about Isabella, she has actually gone against the Nathan."

Master Moore smiled and said, "What a big deal did I think it was? With her, how much trouble can that little girl cause? Nathan is a powerful prince, who fears this ant?"

Victoria cried, trembling. "Wuwuwu, Dad, Isabella took away Nathan's booth at the Global Trade Building and also took away the opportunity to collaborate with the Sanchez clothing production team. Nathan is now in a panic, his mood today is very bad, he won't even talk to me."

"What?" Master Moore exclaimed, both shocked and angry. He was shocked that his useless daughter, Isabella, possessed such abilities. It truly made him take notice. He was angry because Isabella's presence threatened the happiness of his precious daughter, Victoria.

Victoria pouted as she clung to Master Moore, "Daddy, you have to help Lan Cheng. If Lan Cheng's business fails, then Mrs. Hill will think I am a jinx and she definitely won't accept me into their the Hill family."

Master Moore, who cherished his eldest daughter Victoria the most, couldn't bear to see her sad and aggrieved. He immediately assured Victoria, "Victoria, rest assured, I will never allow your sister to ruin your happiness with Nathan."

Victoria said softly, "But Dad, my sister is so heartless now, she doesn't even recognize you as her father. What should we do if she doesn't listen to you?"

Master Moore became even more furious. "Now that she has grown wings, she thinks she can escape my control? This time, I will teach her a lesson and make her understand the consequences of being disobedient to her parents."

Thea returned home and felt her eyelids twitching vigorously. A tremendous sense of panic also overwhelmed her mind.

Ava considerately applied a warm compress to her sister's eyes and said, "Sister, you hurt your eyes from working late recently. In the future, you must be sure to take care of yourself and rest."

Thea poked Ava's forehead and tenderly said, "You are young, why are you more talkative than an Madam?"

Ava giggled and said, "Sister, if what you say is true, then Mr. Sanchez must have been worried for a thousand years."

Thea looked puzzled.

Ava explained with a smile, "Mr. Sanchez just came of age, but he always has a stern face and nags people all day long. He nags me to take care of you: breakfast should have a variety of options, you are too thin, you need to gain some weight. Lunch should be eaten on time, your stomach is not good. Don't drink strong tea at night, afraid it will affect your sleep..."

Thea didn't realize that Theo was nagging and picky, she only felt that he was very economical with words and quite aloof. But when it came out of Ava's mouth, Thea was suddenly hit like a ton of bricks.

Was Theo's countless reminders and care for her really so silent and unnoticed?

She let out a deep sigh and said, "Ava, I guess I had suffered too much in the first half of my life that even

God couldn't bear to watch. That's why He sent Theodore to be by my side."

"He made me finally experience the warmth of home."

Ava also exclaimed, "The heavens must have taken pity on me, that's why they gave me such a wonderful sister."

The mobile phone suddenly rang urgently.

Thea and Ava looked at each other in surprise.

Both of them were strangers in the capital, with no family or connections. Who would care about them on a late night?

Excitedly, Ava dashed to the phone and carefully held it in her hands as she presented it to Thea. "Sister, it was an unfamiliar number."

A faint trace of bitterness appeared

on Thea's face. Not long ago, she had blocked the phone numbers and various social media accounts of everyone in the Moore family. They wanted to reach out to her, but they could only do so with unfamiliar numbers.

Thea answered her phone, and immediately a thunderous roar came from the other end, "Isabella, get back home right away."

Thea frowned, finally understanding

what had caused her uneasiness She calmly replied to the other person, "I'm sorry, you dialed the wrong number. I am not the person you are looking for."

Master Moore was shocked and bewildered, "Isabella, you... don't recognize me?"

Thea found it amusing and said, "You really have a short memory. Last time when you beat me with a whip, I told you that you were destroying the little bit of affection I had left for you."

Master Moore was furious. "Isabella, you were disrespectful to the elderly. You will be struck by lightning in the future."

Isabella said, "I would rather be struck by lightning than be whipped by your whip."

Master Moore was left speechless after being criticized.

Isabella hung up the phone straight away.

She curled herself up weakly, as if only in this way could she prevent the loss of body heat too quickly.

Why was the fatherly love she had always longed for always so cold?

Master Moore couldn't reach his daughter on the phone, so he sent her a text message from an unfamiliar number. "Isabella, come home quickly, your mother is not doing well."

Thea saw the text message, and

although she really wanted to ignore Master Moore's message, when she saw the news of Madam Moore's criticabillness, her heart suddenly ached as if she had been stripped of her physical being.

Her resentment towards her mother, her hatred towards her, seemed as if it would be taken away along with her mother's life.

She was afraid of leaving herself with a lifelong regret, so she ultimately decided to visit the Moore family and see her mother one last time.

The last glance.

Not sympathizing with my mother, just bidding her farewell first. It's time to understand the meager mother-daughter relationship between us.

The night was as cool as water.

Thea stepped into the Moore family's townhouse, bathed in the bright moonlight.

When she rang the doorbell, she heard the impatient voice of the maid from inside, saying, "Who is it at this late hour?"

When the maid opened the door and saw Thea, her expression momentarily showed astonishment, as if mixed with a hint of sympathy.

"Ms. Er, you have returned."

"Where was my mom?"

"She... she was upstairs," the maid hesitated, her eyes flickering.

Thea walked into the house with big strides, but heard a heavy thud from behind the wooden boards. It was like a wake-up call, making her heart tremble.

She felt a little uneasy and paused in her tracks.

Master Moore stood silently on the second-floor corridor, wearing black velvet pajamas, his expression hidden in the shadows.

Thea heard his cold voice. "Isabella, you finally came back."
