Chapter 2111

It was Roland.

Surprised, Isabel answered the phone immediately and asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm in Southboro,” Roland answered with a hoarse voice, seemingly hesitating with the answer. Isabel's chest tightened. "When did you go back?"

"I reached Southboro yesterday morning.”

"Why didn't you tell me?"

He did not say a word.

Isabel ran out of patience. She asked, "Why did you go back to Southboro?"

The man still did not answer.

Isabel glanced at the screen of her phone. The call was still connected, Roland did not hang up on her.

She snorted. "Is it because of my dad?”

"It's not about Mr. Carter, it's my own decision," he said.

His own decision?

How could he say something like this to her in such a calm manner?

Her eyes teared up. She raised her hand to rub her eyes and then asked, "So, are you breaking up with me?"

"Isabel, I think we have to be separated for a while."

"Separated for a while? What does that mean?"

"I can't tell you yet."

"Roland, if you don't tell me, you're breaking up with me."

"Isabel, no. I'm not..."

"No? Let me ask you. How long is “a while’? A week? Two weeks? A month? Two months? Or half a year?"

Roland answered after a momentary silence, "I don't know, but I'll try my best to come back to you.” Isabel's brows furrowed. "You don't know? So does it mean I have to wait for you if you leave for one year, two years, or even five to ten years?”

"Isabel, it won't take that long."

"What if it's that long?"

Roland went silent once more. "If it really takes me that long and 1 still haven't come back to you, then...forget about me."

Isabel's chest tightened again like a giant hand clenched onto her heart.

Her tears burst out of her eyes. She raised her voice and scolded, "Roland, you jerk! I'll forget about you now!"

She hung up right after she yelled on the phone.

Then, she blacklisted his number and blocked all his texts.

After blacklisting Roland completely, her phone screen was covered with her tears.

She cried behind her hands for a while before she went to wash her face. She called Carla and went to a nearby barbeque restaurant.

She ordered what she liked, got two glasses of beer, and ate herself away.

Carla sighed as she watched her friend chew down the food and chug down the bear with teary eyes.

Angela, who was hiding in the corner, recorded it on her phone.

Back in Westchester, Isabella had just ended a business event and returned to her car.

Her phone buzzed as soon as she got inside. She picked it up and saw a video from Angela.

In the video was Isabel, who she had not seen for a while.

She went through the video.

Isabel ate barbeque and drank beer with her assistant but only she was eating and she drank more than she ate.

The video was taken from a distance. Isabella did not see Isabel's expression but judging by how fast Isabel drank, she looked depressed.

Angela then sent her another text, "Isabella, I saw Isabel's eyes and she looked like she's been crying. Two weeks ago, she was with her boyfriend at this hour, but her boyfriend is nowhere to be seen now. I think she just broke up with her boyfriend.”

Isabella's eyes glinted. "I got it. Continue to observe. Inform me right away if there's anything.”
