Chapter 98: Meet Isabel Again
The message surprised David.
Reunions were common, but not for him who rarely interacted during high school. Who would invite him considering he didn't get along with anyone.
Now he was familiar with Isabel, so it was the latter who told him.
(Do you want to come?) David replied to Isabel's message by asking.
(Honestly, a nightclub is not a suitable place for me, and this seems to have been initiated by Luca. Just now he came to me that he saw you had an affair with another woman. I won't come, but if you're interested, I'll come with you.)
"Ohh..." David smiled strangely, feeling that Isabel wanted to show their relationship to their high school alumni.
And after learning that this reunion event was organized by Luca, David instantly guessed what the man was planning.
He thought for a while before typing a reply to Jane's message. (Okay, let's get to it. Nightclubs aren't my kind of place either, but there's nothing wrong with visiting old friends.)
(Since that's what you want, I'll wait for you in front of my dorm building later tonight!)
***
After finishing the lecture, David chose to go home first.
He showered and changed at home and then relaxed on his bed while playing games.
When night fell, he came out of his room.
Audrey was cooking tonight. She cooks chicken soup and roast duck which is then combined with rice, a typical Asian dish.
The aroma of her cooking is quite strong, filling the entire living room of their apartment.
When she saw David in his neat clothes, she immediately deduced that he was going out for the night again.
However, she didn't seem to have any intention of asking anything more about it. She simply said, "Eat here first, I cooked quite a lot for you."
David smiled at her words and then stepped up to the dining table while replying, "sis, what makes you cook chicken soup and roast duck with rice? Isn't it something complicated?"
David did feel strange because Audrey usually only cooked European dishes which were basically simpler.
"What's wrong if I want it?" replied Audrey while glancing at David's eyes.
After that, she added, "I think you've changed quite a lot in this short time."
"Everyone can change," David replied with a quiet laugh.
Audrey thought he changed quite a lot obviously because of his more relaxed and confident personality.
"You know, if you changed because you have a girlfriend with a strong background, I'd have to say that you're not cool at all," she said.
For a moment, David froze with his mouth open.
"Uhmmm..." He cleared his throat after that.
"Sis, your speculation was completely wrong," David said with a wry smile.
If he only had a very rich girlfriend like Jane, he would not have experienced such a drastic increase in confidence. Instead, he would probably feel uncomfortable because of the heavy burden on his shoulders.
The truth was that his increase in confidence was due to his spiritual power, which could basically make his life easier.
"Then what makes you so confident?" asked Audrey as she walked over to David and sat beside him.
Her eyes looked into David's as she waited for his answer.
"Now is not the time for you to know," David replied. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but it would just be too much of a shock."
"Is this an act of pretending to be mysterious by making up stories?" asked Audrey after David spoke.
Once again, David rolled his eyes at his sister's words.
"Sis, you have to start getting used to thinking that your younger brother is a great guy who hides many special abilities," David replied.
"I can't think that way of someone who has never proven that he does have many hidden abilities," Audrey replied.
Throughout dinner, the two discussed quite a lot, but only light things and sometimes joked around.
After dinner, David left immediately.
However, he chose not to use his BMW.
When he saw the car and remembered that he was going with Isabel, he thought it would be inappropriate to use the car because it was Jane's gift.
If he took another woman in the car, it would seem like he didn't appreciate Jane.
In addition, Isabel would probably be awkward because it would seem like she was a live-in concubine of her husband's legal wife.
This was inappropriate, of course. And Isabel would have easily guessed that the car was from Jane.
In the end, David used his sister's car. At least it wasn't a bad car although it wasn't as good as his BMW.
With that car, he drove towards the University of Paris.
When he arrived in front of the university, he immediately found Isabel standing in front of her dorm building.
Tonight, she looked very pretty with her hair in a ponytail while her eyelashes and the skin around her eyes were covered in a thin layer of eye shadow that although black in color, sometimes looked shiny.
She was wearing long jeans and a rather tight t-shirt with short sleeves that only reached halfway up her arms.
Although it was not a sexy outfit, the curves of her body were clearly visible in that outfit.
Because of her beauty, she became very conspicuous in such a style.
Who knows why she chose that style. Although their destination was a nightclub, but a woman does not have to make herself look sexy. After all, quite a few women come to nightclubs in formal wear because they just got off work.
Plus, it's a reunion. Even if it's a nightclub, people will usually rent a separate room or just be at the bar, enjoying the music from afar while chatting.
It seemed that Isabel had another goal in mind by appearing more conspicuous. David suspected she wanted their night to be hotter.
David stopped the car right beside her which of course she recognized because he drove her home in that car on the night that was the beginning of their relationship.
David lowered the windshield on the right side, revealing the inside of the car to Isabel.
"Are we leaving now?" David asked her.
"Of course, we're actually quite late," Isabel replied, opening the car door and getting in directly.
"I think it's better if we go straight to your dormitory," David replied in a joking tone so Isabel rolled her eyes.
"You'll have to be patient for a little while longer," she said, not being awkward even though the conversation turned to sexual matters.
After saying that, she added, "and it's not in my dorm. I don't want any trouble if anyone sees. The students keep wandering around if it's not raining."
"Then where was it?" asked David as he started to step on the gas pedal of his car.
He asked because Isabel seemed to already have a place for them to do it.
It probably wasn't at the hotel.
"Let's go to my house later, my parents happen to be out of town," Isabel replied in a calm tone.
David glanced at her strangely after hearing that, not expecting that the place she had chosen was her own house.
Of course, this sounded so attractive that David's desire was pushed up quickly.
He didn't know where Isabel's house was, it should have been the official house since her father was a high-ranking official of a ministry.
"Isabel, are you really sure you want to do that with me?" asked David, changing the topic.
He chose to ask about this because he wanted a clearer answer.
Isabel looked at David's face for a long time before answering, "I'm sure I don't have the slightest doubt about my decision. Although our relationship is quite complicated, but I personally feel comfortable with you, so I am ready to continue like this as long as you have time for me."
Her tone was very calm when she said that. She really seemed convinced that she was happy with David even though their relationship was not entirely clear.
Knowing that Isabel felt comfortable with him after they had a relationship, David thought there was a possibility that he could win her heart if he approached her during high school.
Maybe he was just the kind of guy she liked. Their relationship had only started now just because they had just interacted.
"By the way, where's the nightclub?" David asked once again.
Hearing that question, Isabel then mentioned the name of the street where the nightclub was located.
It was certainly not in Manifestation of Heaven, just a normal nightclub in this city. Manifestation of Heaven was too big for a group of students who had just graduated from high school. Not only were they not old enough, they probably didn't have enough money to pay.
It was in an area that was reserved for entertainment venues. Arriving there, David saw quite a few nightclubs.
There were even many prostitutes on the sidewalks, from young to middle-aged women.
They are not only blonde European women, but also women of other nationalities.
You can practically find women with any skin color.
Some are so beautiful that they can compete with celebrities. Perhaps a thousand euros is not enough to hire them.
