You Are My One and Only

Chapter 21

A look of surprise flashed across Isaac’s eyes when he saw Patricia, but he quickly regained his composure, and a faint smile washed over his gorgeous face instead. “What a coincidence, Miss Aniston.”

Patricia was equally surprised earlier, but when she recalled that he was Adeline’s fiancé, she no longer considered it surprising.

This was the Aniston Residence, and his appearance here couldn’t be any more ordinary.

Patricia ignored him as she remembered that although she still owed him money, they weren’t friends. So, she looked away nonchalantly and strode toward the staircase.

Again, Isaac smirked, raising his brows, and didn’t take it to heart. Instead, he followed after her in large strides; he walked next to her and spoke in a husky voice that carried a trace of teasing. “Patricia Aniston, do you still remember that you owe me money? You’re supposed to work at my place when you’re recovered, but it seems like you didn’t live up to your words. Should I add some interests?” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Just the mention of that 125,000 made her head throb because it was an astronomical figure for her.

She stopped in her tracks and glared at him. “Isaac Arnold, can you please have a little more dignity? I only signed that agreement because I’m a kind person. Any other people won’t care about how much you lost or gained at all.”

That day, it was only because she had taken the medication that her mind was in a blur. She would never admit to it today if she hadn’t signed the agreement.

He raised his arm and trapped her between the wall and himself once he heard that. His eyes narrowed, and his smile turned devilish. “Patricia Aniston, I am the kind person here. If I had left you alone, you’d probably have turned into an idiot now.”

After he said that, his long finger brushed over her lips gently. Her pink lips were lovely, and it was even gleaming with a glow. He really wanted to taste them again.

A very sweet taste, and when he thought about it, his lips started to move closer to hers little by little.

Unfortunately, she pushed him aside as she warned, “President Arnold, please watch yourself.”

Then, she recalled how he took advantage of her on that day when she fell sick—he had kissed her so much that her lips were swollen. Exactly how long did he kiss me?

She shoved him even harder at the thought of this, and he staggered one step backward.

He furrowed his brows as he wondered why he would always lose control of himself a little every time he saw this woman.

“I’ll admit it since I’ve already signed the agreement. I’ll show up and work at your place at 6.00AM sharp. I’m not free during the day because I need to work.”

As she wasn’t negotiating but confirming with him, she went downstairs after she had said her piece without hesitation as she didn’t have any intention to be alone with him.

Isaac lifted his hand to his chest on the spot she had just touched him, and it felt warm.

In the living room downstairs, it was very lively as the room was filled with people chatting around. Hendrick was seated at the main seat, and the family of three was next to him. There were also a few people whom Patricia didn’t recognize, and she reckoned they were the elders of the Arnold Family.

The whole time, Adeline kept looking upstairs. Earlier, when she was passing Isaac a cup of coffee, she was so nervous that she stained his clothes. So, she had asked a servant to show him upstairs for a change of clothes. But why isn’t he coming downstairs after so long? she thought anxiously.

When she saw a figure coming down, she sprang to her feet, thinking that it was Isaac.

However, when she saw that it was Patricia, the look on her face turned sullen. Why is it that jinx? Just the sight of her kills my mood.

None of the people that Isaac had brought were the elders of the Arnold Family. After all, their marriage was fake, so he had brought over some elderly servants from his family.

At the sight of Isaac coming downstairs, they turned to him and wanted to stand up to greet him.

Nevertheless, he shot them a look, and all of them hurriedly sat firmly in their seats and smiled as they continued their conversations with Andy, speaking about Isaac when he was young.

When Hendrick saw Patricia, he beckoned her. “Tricia, sit here next to me.”

Isaac overhead his words and he peered over at Patricia, wondering, Is she a Young Lady of the Aniston Family, too? If that is the case, I don’t have to sign the agreement with Adeline. I can just look for Patricia.
