Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 229

"We're not that close for me to tell you everything, right?" Izabella was very cautious at this point.

Nathaniel chuckled. Izabella had amnesia and probably didn't even know what kind of illness she had.

He looked her straight in the eyes without any reservation, "I just wanted to show some concern, I'm afraid you don't even know what kind of illness you have."

Izabella frowned, not understanding his words. Wasn't she familiar with her own body?

Izabella felt doubtful about his words. Just as she was about to speak, her phone rang. Checking the screen, it was a call from Brett.

There were only five numbers in her new phone - Brett, Liam, Adrian, Tiara, and Katie.

Brett was the one she contacted most frequently. Answering the call, she softly said, "Brett."

"Did you take your medicine?"

Hearing Brett's voice made the gloomy feeling in Izabella's heart dissipate instantly. Her mood improved, her frowning eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. "Yes, I just took them."

"Then I'll reward you tonight."

Upon hearing the word "reward," Izabella's face turned slightly red, thinking in her heart that Brett was a rogue.

"It's raining outside. Did you bring an umbrella? I'll have my driver pick you up."

"Don't worry, this rain won't last long. I'll take a cab home. Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, I just finished looking through contracts that needed signing."

It was already one o'clock, and Brett hadn't eaten yet. Izabella, who had suffered from stomach pains, didn't want Brett to have stomach problems like her.

"The steak at the restaurant I ate at today was pretty good, and the place was nice too. Let's come here together next time."

Sitting across from her, Nathaniel's expression darkened upon hearing her words, and his light brown eyes gradually turned cold.

Brett said something on the phone, and Izabella's smile spread sweetly across her face, urging him to eat soon.

"Were you alone at the movies today and then eating alone at a Western restaurant?"

Izabella replied, "Yes."

As dessert was served, Nathaniel stared at Izabella as she talked on the phone, his eyes growing colder and a malicious idea emerging within him. "Bella, dessert is here - let's eat."

Izabella suddenly stiffened. She was replying to Brett when Nathaniel unexpectedly interrupted, and she could feel Brett's anger through the phone. "Who exactly are you with?"

Izabella quickly explained, "Just a stranger I met today. I don't know him well."

Brett took a deep breath, "Alright, I got it."

Izabella wanted to say more, but Brett had already hung up. He must've been really angry.

Izabella gazed blankly at her phone, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"Is your husband?" Nathaniel looked at her with a smirking expression, full of insinuation.

Izabella was now sure that Nathaniel had interrupted her call on purpose!

"Your husband wouldn't get angry over such a trivial matter if he really loves you," Nathaniel pushed the dessert toward Izabella.

"Someone who loves you will respect and trust you. In your life, you'll meet various people and form friendships. Between you and him, isn't there even this level of trust?"

Izabella's face darkened. Nathaniel's words were clearly meant to sow discord, but his arguments were clever and made sense.

With her memory loss, Izabella craved forming new relationships.

Combined with the powerful movie she saw this morning, she didn't want to become like the woman in the film who lost everything and had nothing but love.

She believed in Brett, and Brett should trust her too. Mutual respect was required in a marriage.

"We watched a movie together today and ate lunch here. It's not an overstatement to call each other friends. As a friend, I just wanted to remind you that you deserve a gentle and loving partner."
