At that moment, the driver stepped on the brakes and the water from the bottle splashed out.
The water splashed onto Isaac's chest. Juliet's left hand was wet too.
He immediately twisted the bottle cap close and apologized to Juliet, "I'm sorry! Are your clothes wet?" The driver looked behind and passed them a box of tissues. "I'm so sorry, a car just suddenly swerved in front of me. Such a terrible driver!" Isaac accepted the box of tissues and passed stissues to Juliet.

Juliet accepted the tissue paper and wiped her wet arm.
Her wrist guard was wet too. It was uncomfortable wearing it, so she took off her wrist guard.
The lighting in the car was extremely dim, but since she had such fair skin, Isaac could still vaguely see the scar on her wrist.
It was as if an electric current coursed through him. He was in a daze.
He glanced at Juliet's scar in a daze. He remembered the task that Natalie had given him...
Juliet realized that Isaac seemed to be looking at her scar, so she put on her wrist guard once more.
"Isaac, have I frightened you?" Juliet asked worriedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No..." Isaac looked at her clean face and forced a smile. "How did you get the scar on your wrist? Don't tellit's..." "It's exactly what you think. Miss Tate askedthis when I went for the interview as well." Juliet did not feel like repeating herself.
"I don't want everyone who seesto askthe squestion, so I wore a wrist guard." Isaac nodded and no longer continued asking her questions. "You're a Ylorean, right?" "Yes." Isaac thought of how when Elliot and Avery had gone to Ylore, something seemed to have happened to them there too.
Thus, he was sure that Juliet could be the person Natalie was looking for.
Natalie was not a good person. She was so focused on looking for Juliet. She was surely up to no good.
Thinking that Isaac grew conflicted. Should she tell Natalie about this? If he were to tell Natalie, Juliet would surely be in trouble.
Other than the fact that Juliet was a Ylorean, he did quite like her. Which man would not like a clean-faced, pure and innocent girl who o resembled their first love? The taxi soon reached Juliet's place. Juliet wanted to pay for the ride, but Isaac stopped her.
"It's nothing much. Don't worry about it," Isaac said. "It's late! Go get srest!" Juliet replied, "Thank you then!" Isaac wanted to say, "You're welcome," but the words that cout of his mouth were, "Keep in touch." Juliet nodded and got out of the car.
Seeing Juliet entering her neighborhood vanishing within sight, Isaac retracted his gaze and said to the driver, "You can go!" The driver smiled and looked at Isaac through the rearview mirror "You like that lady, right? et her, go after her! She's so pretty! And such a good figure too." "She's Ylorean." "So what? If she marries you, she'll follow you," the driver said. encouragingly. "My wife was from another state, too. Back then, her parents refused to let her marry me. In the end, she still marriedand gavetwo adorable children! Hehe!" Isaac was a little persuaded by the driver's words.
