SWNOVELS Chapter 428
The hotel attendants promptly streamed in from outside the restaurant, carrying various exquisite dishes.
"Aren't you going to take off your mask when eating?" Isabella asked.
She was rather looking forward to seeing what God of War truly looked like.
"Um... I'm already used to wearing a mask. However, since it's bothering you, I'm going to take it off."
After a moment of hesitation, the fake God of War waited for all the hotel attendants to exit the restaurant. Turning his back to the exit, he slowly took off his mask.
Isabella's stomach churned with anticipation as she watched him remove his mask.
A disappointed look fleeted across her eyes the moment she saw his face.
It was not that she thought the God of War looked ugly.
Instead, the man's appearance was even more handsome than Isabella had imagined, with his delicate features and tall nose.
He looked like a celebrity.
However, despite his handsome looks, Isabella couldn't shake off the feeling that he appeared a bit effeminate and not at all like the decisive and ruthless war hero she had expected.
Instead, he looked more like a pretty boy who would leech off a rich woman.
"Hmm? Are you startled by my looks?"
The fake God of War had trained his eyes on Isabella, carefully gauging her every reaction, so he had caught onto the fleeting disappointed look in her eyes.
He had always been confident in his good looks, priding himself on being more handsome than male celebrities.
Hence, he didn't understand why Isabella would be let down by his appearance.
"No. It's just that you're very handsome. Even more good-looking than I imagined," Isabella replied.
She was surprised to hear him and immediately regained her composure.
"Really? Then how do I compare with your ex-husband, Harold Campbell?"
The fake God of War knew that Isabella was lying through her teeth. However, he didn't get upset and instead took the chance to steer the topic to focus on Harold.
"God of War, you know about my ex-husband?" Isabella asked incredulously.
She had not expected that the man would bring up Harold at all.
"My subordinates did a background check on you after they knew about me asking you out. I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable, but I hope you understand that my security is their responsibility. Why don't we ask your ex-husband to have dinner with us too?" the fake God of War explained impassively after noticing Isabella seemed a little upset.
He hadn't lost sight of his main agenda and kept focusing on Harold.
"I... don't think that's possible. He's not in Dellmoor currently. Let's not talk about him. I'm a little hungry. Why don't we start eating?" Isabella said.
Isabella noticed that God of War was fixated on Harold and tried to change the subject.
The fake God of War knew not to put the cart before the horse and decided against discussing Harold further.
With Isabella all tensed up, the two of them proceeded to have dinner.
When it was eight o'clock at night, the fake God of War arranged for his subordinate to send Isabella home.
"When I was having dinner with Isabella, did he show up nearby the hotel?" the fake God of War asked the fake Logan after returning to his room.
"God of War, up until now, we have not spotted any suspicious person!" the fake Logan replied.
"Could it be that he really hasn't come back to Dellmoor yet? No, that can't be. He must be hiding somewhere. Go execute the orders to extort information out of anyone who is even remotely related to Harold. Meanwhile, I'm going to win his woman over. I don't believe that he can continue to stay under the radar with this two-pronged approach!" the fake God of War uttered.
