Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1449 Together Now

Roxanna found herself in the passenger seat of Isaac's car, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. The fact that Isaac had just confessed his feelings to her was still sinking in. Is this all merely a dream?

She swiftly patted her cheek, hoping to jolt herself awake. If this was indeed a dream, she yearned to return to reality as soon as possible. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She had intended to bury her feelings for Isaac, but now she was dreaming about him. How was she expected to forget him now?

Isaac caught Roxanna's subtle gesture from the corner of his eye, and a tender smile graced his face.

"What are you thinking about? Dinner? Hadn't you suggested pizza? Or have you changed your mind?" Isaac asked with a smile, seemingly oblivious to Roxanna's emotional turmoil.

"Sorry?" Roxanna snapped out of her thoughts, momentarily confused.

"Don't worry about it." Isaac nodded, keeping an eye on the traffic lights ahead. He parked the car smoothly, his expression subtly shifting as he asked in a soft voice, "Shall we have pizza?"

Roxanna, oblivious to Isaac's change in expression, nodded slightly. "Yes, let's go for pizza. I used to like—hmm!" Roxanna's eyes widened in surprise as the face of the man she loved loomed closer. The warm sensation on her lips made her squirm involuntarily.

Honk, honk, honk!

The car behind them honked impatiently.

Honk, honk, honk!

The car behind them honked impatiently.

Roxanna, slightly breathless, gently pushed Isaac away. "The light's turned green."

She was already dazed by Isaac's kiss. Thankfully, the light had changed. Otherwise, she couldn't predict what else might have transpired.

Isaac pulled away reluctantly, a playful smile dancing on his lips.

Mission accomplished.

As the car began to move, Roxanna touched her slightly flushed cheek. It felt as if her face was aflame.

She stole a glance at Isaac, his playful smile in full view.

Roxanna opened her mouth as if to say something but ultimately kept it to herself.

She retrieved her phone, pondered for a while, and finally informed Nicole and Chloe that she and Isaac were now a couple.

Isaac caught a glimpse of Roxanna constantly checking her phone. He surmised that Roxanna was informing Nicole and the others about their relationship. A small smile graced his lips as he silently approved.

He would never reveal to Roxanna that Nicole and Chloe were already in the know.

Nicole was dining when she felt her phone vibrate. Seeing that it was a message from Roxanna, she quickly grabbed her phone, recalling Roxanna's mood from the previous day.

The first thing she saw was a picture of two hands tightly clasped, with a caption that read, 'Isaac and I are dating now.'

Nicole excitedly viewed the message and showed her phone to Chloe, exclaiming, "Chloe, look, they're seeing each other!"

Chloe immediately set down her cutleries and took Nicole's phone, scrutinizing the content.

"That's good, that's good. Now that Isaac is there to look after her in Restrad, I can breathe easy." Chloe's expression was neutral. She simply nodded, not saying much.

She quietly returned the phone to Nicole and resumed eating.

Nicole was aware of Chloe's concerns, but this was Roxanna's decision. Besides, Roxanna couldn't possibly remain single forever.

She had to confront this reality sooner or later.

Nicole didn't say much and simply offered silent support to Chloe.

"Nicole, have you gone through the report from the base?" Chloe seemed to recall something and

abruptly asked Nicole.

Nicole was slightly startled, but she nodded and replied, "Yes, I have. Why?"

She was puzzled as to why Chloe suddenly brought up the report. Could it be that something significant had occurred at the base?

She braced herself for any eventuality.
