William indeed didn't go to the office today and only came downstairs around noon.
Isabella kept staring at William, but William didn't mind. He treated her like a little sister and chatted with her about her time in school.
William had such charm that people's first impression of him was always excellent.
She didn't know if he deliberately cultivated this image or if he was naturally like this. In any case, the more she interacted with him, the less she felt she understood him.
Before lunch was over, William received a call. He apologized to everyone and went to the study to answer it.
As soon as William left for the study, Isabella started talking non-stop about William's handsome appearance, gentlemanly demeanor, and noble aura, making it seem like marrying him was a blessing she had earned over three lifetimes.
But she didn't listen carefully to what Isabella was saying because she had noticed William's serious expression when he answered the phone.
