Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife

Chapter 33: Chapter 38: Memories from Six Years Ago (9) Chapter 33: Chapter 38: Memories from Six Years Ago (9) Isabel seemed lost in thought, a sparkle in her eyes, so much so that she didn’t even notice her ID card in her hand.

Back then, they were both young, and their hearts were easily stirred by the slightest feeling or delight, causing ripples of emotion deep within. They had not yet learned how to hide their emotions; their likes and dislikes could easily be read from their faces.

So, when Percy furrowed his brows and withdrew his hand, only then did Isabel snap out of her trance. The next second, she quickly reached out and grabbed Percy’s arm. Her dark eyes shone brightly, even more so than the sun that had just risen in the east. With a smile on her lips, she asked him in the manner of a spoiled, wealthy young miss, “What’s your name?”

At that time, Percy had already learned to discern people’s thoughts from their subtle expressions. He had no interest in romance and thought that women were a bothersome species, best avoided. So he simply paid no attention to Isabel, slowly extending his hand to remove hers from his arm. He then picked up his mobile phone earphone from the front of his white shirt, plugged it into his ear, and started listening to a melodious French song. Riding his bicycle past Isabel, he turned a bend and left without a pause.

Although he was listening to the song, he could still hear Isabel stomping her foot and complaining loudly while standing in her original place.

As for that five-dollar bet, Percy didn’t think anything of it, and he also dismissed that early morning encounter with Isabel at the intersection.

It was like a minor episode in life that quickly vanished in the river of memories.

Every autumn, Starhaven University would choose a campus beauty. Isabel became famous overnight at the school’s Valentine’s Festival that year.

In fact, the Valentine’s Festival also happened to be the birthday of Percy’s mother, Emily. He was in Ravenwood City at the time, but a teacher called him at noon with a last-minute request. So, he rushed back to Bellshire from Ravenwood City, busying himself for a full three hours before finishing everything.

By that time, he had already won several economic projects and received quite a bit of prize money from the university. He used that money to buy the most popular Audi car.

When he left the Research Building, it was already dark, and the campus was empty, with few people passing by.

The school parking lot was right in front of the School Auditorium. He walked there to fetch his car. Upon arrival, he found that all the students had gathered at the School Auditorium.

At that time, one of his dormitory roommates was handing out flyers outside, and when he saw Percy, he enthusiastically gave him a VIP front-row seat entrance ticket and dragged him into the event.

The event was mainly for college students who liked to show off.

There was nothing new compared to previous years, with either group bands singing, male and female duets, female duets, or dancing.

Percy sat in the front, disinterested, almost falling asleep. After enduring for half an hour, he couldn’t take it anymore and stood up, intending to leave. At that moment, the host announced the upcoming performance—an adapted drama version of Charlie Vincent’s “A Tale Odyssey.”

Due to time constraints, many plotlines were omitted, and the play began with the encounter between the King of Monkey and Lady Purple Cloud.

The actress playing Lady Purple Cloud was Isabel.

She had her hair swept up high, dressed in an elegant white outfit, and moved with grace. She bore a striking resemblance to Chloe Turner.

Percy’s mother was once a highly popular Best Actress.
