What a handsome delivery guy. Everyone was captivated by Caleb Reed's outstanding appearance. Some couldn’t resist taking photos with their phones and posting them online with the caption: “The most handsome delivery guy just arrived.” Isabella looked at him and recognized him as the fast-track driver often called by Lucius. When did he become a delivery man? She stared at Caleb in confusion and said, “I didn’t order a tennis outfit.” Caleb, showing a face weary from Lucius’s torment, said, “Your man ordered it for you. Ah, life is tough; please sign for it quickly.” He didn’t want to be the center of attention just for delivering clothes and was eager to leave. Oh, so Lucius ordered it. Hmm, a bit touched; didn’t expect him to be so considerate. Seeing Caleb Reed’s troubled expression, Isabella i

Isabella smiled, thinking of her grandfather. Her love for tennis was nurtured by him when she was young. Later, she was recruited into the school team when she started junior high. After her grandparents passed away and she returned to the Rivera family, she hadn’t touched a tennis racket again. While everyone was congratulating her, the list of participants for the mixed doubles and the match schedule was announced. Isabella scanned the list from top to bottom and was shocked to find that her name wasn’t there. Confused, she asked the coach, “Coach, I signed up for the mixed doubles. Why isn’t my name on the list?” The coach looked at the list and confirmed Isabella’s name was missing. He said, “I’ll check with the sports committee.” Isabella felt uneasy, sensing that something might be wrong. Sure enough, when the coach returned, he looked anxious. “The pa

“Y-you...” Cynthia’s face turned bright red from Lucius’s words. After struggling to find a response, she couldn’t utter a single word and, in frustration, gave Fanny a fierce glare. Fanny had embarrassed her completely today. Fanny awkwardly covered her sleeve and stammered in an attempt to cover up, “My clothes are pure cashmere. They pill easily, not because they’re poor quality...” “Shut up!” Cynthia was mortified, feeling she might as well kneel before Fanny’s ignorance. Bringing Fanny today was an incredibly foolish decision. Fanny must have had her brains kicked by a mule to wear such clothes, and now Lucius had caught her out. As the second daughter of the Rivera family, having friends so impoverished they can’t afford decent clothing made Cynthia’s face burn with shame. What would people think if word got out? Cynthia glared at Fanny and turned to th

Isabella stared blankly at Lucius, completely lost in the complexity of his explanation. But she knew that if he realized how clueless she was, he’d definitely make fun of her. So, she pretended to have a sudden epiphany and nodded like a seasoned expert. "Oh, I see. That makes perfect sense." Lucius nearly burst out laughing. He had been making things up as he went along and didn’t understand it himself. He wondered what on earth she thought she understood. Isabella, earnest and eager to learn, continued to ask, "How exactly do you hear the sound waves and judge the ball’s trajectory?" Lucius narrowed his eyes, feigning mystery. "Do you want to learn?" "Of course!" Isabella, ever the diligent student, looked up at him with wide, curious eyes, full of admiration. Touched by her curiosity, Lucius decided to go along with it and began his ‘lesson’ without holdi

No wonder Isabella had only seen Grandma Moore today. Grandma Moore continued talking, finally noticing the tall, handsome man beside Isabella. Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked Lucius up and down with evident delight. “Isabella, is this your boyfriend? Oh, what a fine young man he is, so handsome and dignified. I’ve never seen such a good-looking young fellow before.” With a beaming face, Grandma Moore patted Lucius on the back. “You better take good care of Isabella. Even her grandpa’s spirit is watching over you!” Lucius was quite pleased with Grandma Moore referring to him as ‘Isabella’s boyfriend.’ He immediately seized the opportunity, wrapping his arm around Isabella’s shoulder and flashing a sweet, honeyed smile. “Don’t worry, Grandma, I’ll take great care of this silly girl.” Isabella’s face turned a bright red. She discreetly pinched Lucius. Lucius winced and b
