Chapter 38: Start to a New Life

Isabella woke up hungry. Her stomach growled as she took in her surroundings and saw hospital walls and Seth lying in the bed peacfully. She had been with him all night and stayed there with him despite him convincing her to go home and get some rest. She refused and they both kept talking until Seth became tired and slept. She slept on the little sofa in the hospital room. Seth tried convincing her to sleep beside him but she wanted him to sleep peacefully and refused his offer.

Isabella stood up and walked towards Seth. She placed a little kiss on his forehead and went to get some food for both of them. It took her a little time to get back to his room because she was taking her time in picking food as hospital food was gross.

"I brought us some food!" She said excitedly but her excitement was gone as soon as she saw Seth's mother sitting beside him on a chair. She didn't want to look rude so she managed to pass her a small smile and a good morning to which she replied with a curt nod. Isabella ignored her and walked towards Seth who winked at her making her smile.

"There's no need for this, I already brought my son some food from home" She said without even looking at Isabella. She replied with an 'oh' and left them alone in the room. Seth passed her an apologetic smile on her way outside.

"How am I going to deal with this woman" She thought as she walked outside. That woman was getting on her nerves and she couldn't even do anything about it except fake smiling at her every time she saw her. Isabella was never the one to be rude with anyone she was always polite and sweet but that woman's attitude made her think like that. She had to deal with her nicely beacuse she was Seth's mother.

"Why are you keeping that dirtbag around you?" Angelina asked once Isabella was out of sight

"Who?" Seth asked, too busy munching the delicious food his mom brought

"That secretary of yours" She said

"Mom! She is not just my secretary, she is my girlfriend and she's certainly not a dirtbag. She is beautiful and polite with a nice personality."

"Girlfriend? Haha I'll make sure she won't stay around you anymore"

"Mom, please don't do something that you would regret" Seth said, angered by his mother's choice of words. He knew how she was like and he knew it that she would not accept Isabella easily beacuse she wasn't rich like them. She was always trying to set her son up with the daughters of their business partners but Seth only saw them as a one night stand and nothing else. He knew how his mother would try to hurt Isabella with her words so that she would leave him but he wouldn't let that happen

"But son, I'm doing this for your own good. You can get any girl you want! There are so many pretty and rich models out there for you then why are you even dating that girl" Angelina said in a softer tone trying to persuade him

"Mom, I don't want to hear any of this and I'm asking this nicely please don't try to hurt Isabella with your words because I'm not planning to leave her ever" Seth replied in a calmer tone

"You'll regret dating that dirtbag!" Angelina shouted and walked outside the room. She gave Isabella an icy cold glare on her way.

Isabella walked inside Seth's room after knocking. He was still eating, poor boy must be hungry and tired from eating the hospital food, sje thought.

"Did you have a fight your mom? She looked angry"

"Yes but it wasn't something big, don't worry" Seth replied and motioned her to sit beside him

"You know I won't ever leave you right?" Seth asked her randomly as she sat beside him

"Um yes" Isabella replied in a confused state as to why he was talking like that "Why do you ask?"

"Just like that" He smiled and kissed her nose. He still managed to make her all flushed with his small actions

"So all of your stuff is packed and you're moving in with me tomorrow as soon as I get discharged from the hospital okay?" Seth looked deeply into her eyes. Isabella just nodded because she knew there was no point in denying or arguing with him

The next day Seth got discharged from the hospital but he still wasn't fully recovered, the doctor advised him to stay at home and not to do any work which involved lifting heavy things. Isabella informed Megan about her moving in with Seth so that she wouldn't get worried if she came back home on the weekend or vacations. Megan sounded happy and advised her to be careful and that she doesn't want to beacome an aunt at such a young age to which Isabella hissed and scolded her and Megan just laughed it off.

Isabella went to her old apartment to grab the few remaining things and locked it feeling somewhat upset that she had to leave the place in which she spent all the good times and the bad times with her sister. Nonetheless she went back to the penthouse to get ready for work. There were so many meetings, paperwork and deals pending due to their absence so she decided to handle some of them. She didn't bother checking up on Seth as she thought he would be sleeping.

She walked in the company while greeting Ellie on the way she informed her that Seth won't be here for a few days.

"But he's in his office right now" Ellie said clearly confused

"He came to work?" Isabella asked as her eyes widened and Ellie just nodded

"Oh god, this stubborn man! He doesn't even listen to me" Isabella walked inside the elevator ready to give her boyfriend a piece of mind.

She knocked on the door of his office hearing a faint 'come in' from him she entered. Oh you're so dead, Mr. Anderson she thought

"What are you trying to do, Seth? The doctor told you to rest and still you came to work. I told you I would handle everything with some help but you just don't listen to me" Isabella kept blabbering. Seth stood up from his chair and walked towards her in slow steps causing her to back away

"What are you trying to do?" She whispered and her back hit the door. He placed his index finger on her lips and said "Calm down, I'm feeling well now"

"Calm down? You're supposed to rest not work just listen to me once and go home-" She was cut off by Seth's lips on top of hers. In a moment she forgot everything she was saying and his touch made her feel weak in the knees

"Huh, don't distract me you need to go now" Isabella pushed him away a bit coming back to her senses after that passionate kiss

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm sick of lying in bed all day" He pouted which made him look adorable

"But you have to, big guy. Just a few more days and you can come to work like before until then I will be here and I'll handle everything" She said runninga hand through his hair

"As you say, princesa" He kissed her foreahead and left the ofdice leaving her with a ton of work to do "Come home soon, honey!" She heard him scream that in a high pitched voice which made her laugh out loud

The day went by in a haze and they were sitting on the dining table eating Chinese cooked by Isabella.

"My dad wants us to have dinner with the family at our mansion this Saturday" Seth said as he took a sip of his juice

"How many people will be there?" Isabella asked nervously

"My parents, Carson, Valerie, her parents- her father and my father are brothers and their youngest son Gabriel" Seth replied, he saw a tensed look on Isabella's face and said "Don't worry they're all very nice people, you've met my dad and Valerie already just be a little careful around my mom, she can be a little handful sometimes"

Isabella nodded and continued her dinner silently while still being nervous.

"I'm going to sleep, come to bed soon and don't bother with the dishes Martha will come and clean them" Seth said and went to his room

A while later she walked in Seth's room and found him on the right side of the bed with a book in his hands. He was not wearing a shirt and the specs just did the worse and let Isabella's imaginations run wild. At that moment she knew Seth in glasses was her kink.

Oh snap out of it Bella, what the hell are you talking about but it was true though he looked really hot like is it even possible to look this hot while reading a book? This was the Seth charm.

"Are you okay?" He asked

"Huh? Yes I am" She said and walked towards the bed

"You've been staring at me since you entered the room"

"Me staring? Haha no I was just thinking about something" She gave her best fake laugh and lied down on the bed facing the wall to avoid more embarrassment. She felt him moving and the other moment his arm was resting around her waist as he pulled her closer to him

"Mhm I believe you, goodnight" He said

"Goodnight" She replied and they both fell into deep slumber
