Chapter 911
Elder Mr. Bailey was stunned as he turned around to face Isabelle. “You don’t like John anymore? But Ithought you’ve always liked him?”
Isabelle sighed. “I was in denial back then, but I finally understand now. It’s useless when my lovetoward him is just one-sided. Since he doesn’t like me, there’s no use liking him anyway. Moreover, I’malready tired. I just want to find someone who loves me back.”
Then, Elder Mr. Bailey raised his hand and patted Isabelle’s shoulder. “You shouldn’t rush it. Somethings will come even though it might take a little longer.”
Isabelle glanced at Elder Mr. Bailey’s face before she continued, “But I don’t want to wait any longer.I’ve been waiting for so long and I don’t know how much longer I should wait at this point. I’mexhausted. If my date goes well, an addition in the family can also lighten up the mood in the family andmy parents might be able to walk out from what happened to Dexter. It might actually be good for thefamily.”
The old man sighed. “Belle, a blind date is really not as easy as what you think. I’ve asked around myfamily friends, but none of their children stand out, so even if you were to be matchmade with them,you might not find the person that you’re looking for.”
Isabelle smiled at that. “I don’t ask for much. It’s fine as long as they’re nice to me and keep me closeat heart. I don’t really care about anything else as we all shouldn’t be too ungrateful. It’s alright if theydon’t stand out.”
However, Elder Mr. Bailey shook his head. “You don’t get it, Belle. Your father and I are already old andwe need someone to take over the family. Now that Dexter is gone, we can only rely on you now.Feelings can’t bring you to places, but your strengths can, so there’s no way that you can settle withsomeone ordinary.”
Isabelle chuckled awkwardly. “I’m just a woman, so what can I even do? I already feel guilty even whenI hear you talking about it.”
Still, Elder Mr. Bailey went on saying, “Why do you even feel guilty about it? So what if you’re awoman? Women can take over their family’s business as well. Look at the four Young Ladies of theJefferson Family; aren’t they handling the family’s business well? On the contrary, Logan Jefferson isliterally an embarrassment of their family.”
Isabelle didn’t say anything about Logan.
Although she used to look down on Logan and felt that the Jeffersons really failed to raise their son
well, she now felt like she had no right to judge other people’s family.
The Baileys had always thought that they had been providing a good upbringing to their children, butthey ended up forcing Dexter to his demise.
Then, Elder Mr. Bailey tried to console Isabelle by saying, “Don’t worry too much and rest well. I’ll tellyou what to do next. Rest assured, Belle. What you want will surely be yours.” novelbin
Although Isabelle didn’t say anything further, she felt like Elder Mr. Bailey’s condition was worse thanher father’s condition; her father was sick physically, but Elder Mr. Bailey was sick mentally.

After Elder Mr. Bailey stood there for a while, a few servants came over and Isabelle immediately calledout for the servants. “You guys should take Grandpa for a walk since today’s weather is great. Heshould take a walk to strengthen his body anyway.”
Elder Mr. Bailey agreed after thinking about it, so the servants supported him as they walked towardthe garden in the backyard.
After they left, Isabelle immediately turned around and headed to the second floor as she attempted tounlock Elder Mr. Bailey’s wardrobe again.
The last three attempts back then had failed, so she wanted to try two more times.
After scanning through all of the possible combinations she could think of in her mind, she tried the firstcombination.
However, the first combination was still wrong. Isabelle was frustrated.
She didn’t dare to try to unlock the wardrobe three times on this day as the security alarm was too loud.
After pondering for a while, Isabelle tried the second combination.
This time, however, after she entered the second combination’s number, she pressed on the unlockbutton and the door to the safe sprang open
