When asked who his fiancée was, Austin refused to reveal anything. He would have told any other person without hesitation.

While Austin’s explanation sounded reasonable, Isabella felt he was hiding something. If she was his fiancée, it could explain why he was keeping it a secret.

Grandma May met Isabella’s gaze.

As expected of the granddaughter-in-law she had picked.

She liked Isabella’s straightforward attitude.

Grandma May did not give Isabella an answer. Instead, she asked, “Why do you think you’re Austin’s fiancée?”

Isabella provided an explanation with a clear analysis. Anyone who heard her would have been convinced she was Austin’s fiancée.

In the end, she added, “You’ve met me before, but I’ve no impression of it at all. I think you’ve been observing me secretly for Austin.”
