"Isabel has never actually had an official relationship with a man," she added, making Arthur knit his brows.
"However, when we were in high school, we had a male friend, who was quite attractive. He was handsome, smart, and charming, I fell in love with him at the time. Unfortunately, he was only interested in Isabel. However, Isabel never took the guy seriously."
When she said that, Anna pouted, as if she was upset that her standards were lower than Isabel's.
Arthur rolled his eyes, feeling strange.
"Where did that man come from?" He couldn't help but ask because the way Anna spoke sounded as if the man was a figure of mystery.
"Well, that's the thing, we don't know where he came from. And in the end, he disappeared somewhere, probably moved, but until now I never saw him again. However, I do know that he left his seed to Isabel before he left. You must have guessed it by now? Yes, Isabel used that seed to have a child. Using a laboratory, of course."
Arthur had expected a strange story behind Carla's birth, perhaps an unpleasant one, but this? He wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.
Even he had just found out that Carla was an IVF baby.
At the same time, he speculated about the man.
That he did something like leave his seed, did that mean he was in danger and had a special identity?
As a magus, Arthur couldn't help but wonder if he had some connection to the magus group.
The further he thought, he began to connect a few things. One of them was his aunt's words after he told her about magic.
At that time, Isabel said that she had heard about magic from someone trustworthy. However, she did not say clearly who that person was.
"Well!" Arthur knew that there was no way he could conclude anything for now unless he asked the woman directly.
'The important thing is that I now know the secret,' he thought.
He looked at Anna again and patted her waist.
"I'll go now," he said.
"Isn't that too soon, how about staying here for a while longer?" Anna didn't seem to want Arthur to leave.
After speaking, she deliberately pressed her breasts against his body, giving him a sensation.
Without a strong heart, one could not possibly resist her words, but Arthur casually pressed her waist with his fingers so that she felt ticklish and had no other choice but to get off his thighs.
"There are still things I need to do, just wait for tonight, make sure you prepare a good place," Arthur said.
Anna's heart couldn't help but race when she heard that.
She thought and wondered which place she would choose for their first night.
Wanting to enhance her impression in Arthur's eyes, she wanted this night to be a truly unforgettable one.
Arthur then stood up, taking a step towards the door without waiting for Anna to stand up.
The woman hurriedly chased after him.
Amy who was standing next to the door looked surprised when the door opened and saw Arthur coming out.
For a moment, her lips opened but closed again very quickly.
She stared at Arthur's face, thinking that this young man did have above average looks.
What was most interesting was not that, but her eyes that were always fixed forward, as if he was completely uninterested in the things around him.
Amy thought she would also fall in love if she could interact with him.
Although Arthur didn't really glance at her, she wasn't upset at all, she continued to stare at him until he came down the stairs.
When he arrived at the second floor, Arthur was immediately met by Carla and Bella. Both of them looked confused because Arthur had disappeared somewhere.
Upon seeing him, Bella approached with a frown.
"Arthur, where are you hiding?" Bella asked.
Of course, Arthur wouldn't tell her the truth.
However, Anna who followed behind answered, "he's eating in a special room with special service."
"Special service?" Carla and Bella naturally did not understand what kind of service it was. They just thought it was something this restaurant gave to their VVIPs.
Arthur didn't want to be there any longer, so he moved on.
Anna followed until they arrived outside the restaurant, there, she said, "if you want a car, you can use my cars here..."
It was certainly quite a surprising offer.
She'd already given him a free meal and now even offered to lend him a car.
Carla and Bella wondered if she was really that good.
However, Arthur shook his head.
"We'll just walk," he replied.
After that, he, Carla, and Bella left immediately.
When they were far enough away from the restaurant, Bella asked, "Arthur, there's nothing between you and that woman, is there?"
Her question surprised Carla, she looked at Bella and said, "what nonsense are you saying?"
"Hmph, this guy is always familiar with women. Being suspicious of him is a must." Bella replied.
Of course, Carla knew that, but she didn't think if there was anything like that with Anna who was her mother's friend plus an older woman than Arthur.
Only, she forgot that with Arthur's age, Anna was just a little girl.
After hearing Bella's answer, she narrowed her eyes as she looked at Arthur.
On the other hand, Arthur continued walking without answering Carla's question.
He headed straight to his agarwood store.
When he arrived there, the store already looked ready to receive guests, even full of decorative lights that were not yet lit.
Some passers-by couldn't help but stop, wondering what kind of shop it was because it looked so classy. Usually, only famous brand stores look like that.
Moreover, some of Hunter's subordinates were also in the store, wearing security outfits.
It was practically a downgrade. They were once military special forces and then became feared mercenaries.
Now that they were security, if their friends or enemies saw them now, they would definitely be laughed at.
However, they didn't dare to be unserious because this job was from someone who gave them a new path, a path that could lead them into the unknown.
Robin who was leading them approached Arthur with a smile on his face.
