Chapter 475
Isabella changed her clothes and hurried to the door. Before she could open it,
she heard voices outside.
“Maybe we should knock again.”
She took a deep breath and quickly opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, she was met with a pair of deep, dark eyes.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw several other people standing nearby.
Isabella opened her mouth to speak to Seth. “Seth...”
“Is there a problem at home?” He interrupted her.
Isabella stood by the door and insisted, “It's just a minor issue. I can handle it.”
Right after she said that, there was another round of water gushing noises from
the kitchen. It was loud enough for everyone outside to hear.
Courtney's eyes darted around, and she quickly squeezed past, asking, “What
minor issue? Why does it sound like a burst water pipe to me?”
Isabella couldn't stop her and kept backing away until she accidentally let the
door open.
Courtney gasped.
The men at the door also peered inside, except for Seth, who just glanced inside.
“Come in. This is a job for men,” Courtney called out as she placed her hands on
her hips.
Isabella stood at the door and waved her hands in denial. “Theres no need to. I
can...”
“Don't be polite,” Simon cut in and naturally pushed Seth inside.
As he did so, he flashed a smile at Isabella. “With all this water, you'll be busy
enough just cleaning up.”
“Exactly. Why are you being so polite with us?” Leonard chimed in.
Dariel leaned against the door frame. He was unusually silent and only hummed
lightly when he made eye contact with Isabella.
Isabella watched helplessly as a group of people entered her house and went to
find some tools.
In the kitchen, Seth walked in and crouched down to take a look. His brow
furrowed immediately.
Leonard leaned in and whispered, “Seth, do you know how to fix it?”
The former looked at him coldly. “What do you think?”
Leonard's mouth twitched as he sensed an ominous feeling.. “You... you go
ahead and work on it first,” he said quietly.
After saying that, he silently slipped out of the kitchen.
Isabella found a bunch of tools from the storeroom and dragged them outside the
kitchen, just in time to see Leonard leaving Seth alone in the flooded kitchen.
“Mr. Shaffer, use this.” She handed him a roll of duct tape.
Seth took the tape. His brows furrowed slightly.
Isabella watched his expression and felt a bit uneasy.
She remembered that he studied philosophy at university. When it came to
plumbing circuits, he probably only saw them in high school textbooks. How
could he know how to fix a water pipe?
“You should leave,” Seth said.
Isabella bit her lower lip. “Don’t you need help?”
“I don't need it,” he responded firmly.
With an unsure “Oh,” she stood up, feeling uneasy.
Seth, who was drenched in water, unexpectedly lifted his gaze toward her as she
Thinking he wanted to speak, Isabella lowered her head without even realizing it.

“Your skirt is wet.”
Isabella was taken aback. She looked down at the slightly damp hem of her
nightgown.
Fortunately, she had an outer coat on, so it didn’t matter if her dress’ hem was
wet.
Seth spoke briefly before directing his focus to the water pipe.
She saw his clumsy movements and felt relieved, so she quickly left the kitchen
while lifting her skirt.

pulled her aside and said, “Come to
my place and help me cut the cake.”
