Chapter 985 She Would Not Let Him Go
“Don’t worry. There’s nothing much to do even if we go back.” Currently, with Victor and Xandra managing Tanner Group and TS Entertainment respectively, both organizations were operating smoothly.
With their two trustable subordinates holding the fort, the couple did not have anything to worry about.
“Okay.”
Meanwhile, Felix and Ysabelle had gotten off the plane. After being in Fandar for many days, Ysabelle felt that even the air in Chanaea felt fresher than before.
“Felix, I realized that Chanaea is still my favorite place in the world. I’m happy doing anything as long as I’m here!”
Even though they had been through some exciting times in Fandar, she still felt most at ease in her own country.
“You’re right. Jipsdale is truly a nice place too.” After all, it was comforting for them to be somewhere they were familiar with.
However, the moment they exited the airport, Ysabelle noticed something amiss; a huge crowd of reporters had gathered outside.
Moreover, the couple was holding hands, and the reporters had already started taking pictures of them.
F*ck! What’s going on? Why are there so many reporters?
No one was supposed to know that Ysabelle was returning from Fandar that day.
Felix wanted to let go of her hand. He knew how important her singing career was to her, and for a female celebrity, having a boyfriend would mean losing fans.
However, this time, Ysabelle did not loosen her grip. Tightening her grip, she looked at him and said resolutely, “Felix, I’ve already told you. From now on, we will be together no matter what happens.”
Since they had already decided to be with each other, it did not matter to Ysabelle if they were photographed by reporters or if her fans stopped supporting her because of that.
All she ever wanted to do was sing. She did not aspire to be an idol.
As such, she did not mind losing popularity as long as her man was by her side.
Felix was touched to hear that. He realized that his woman had really matured. Previously, she would always act in a cautious manner in front of the media, but now, she was openly holding his hand in the presence of the reporters.
He loved the feeling and was savoring it.
“Ysabelle, I will never let you down. From now on, we have to stay together no matter what challenges we might face in the future.”
“Yes.”
Just then, the reporters swarmed over and asked, “Ms. Lombard, what’s your relationship with Mr. Northley? Is he your boyfriend? You’ve been away for quite some time. Is it also because of Mr. Northley?”
“Mr. Northley, are you intending to marry Ms. Lombard? Or are you just dating her for fun?”
Confronted with a barrage of questions, Felix was initially intending to ignore the reporters, but when he heard the suggestion that he was dating Ysabelle for fun, he halted in his tracks and swept a cold gaze at the reporter who asked that question.
Although the reporter was not aware of the mistake he had made, he could not help but shudder when he sensed Felix’s cool vibe.
“I’m serious about her. I have always been. She’s going to be the future mistress of Northley Group. I know she loves singing. I respect that and will fully support her. However, I will not allow anyone to bully her.”
This was the woman he would sacrifice his life for. It sounded ridiculous to him that someone would even think that he was dating her just for fun.
Ysabelle was beaming from ear to ear when she heard that. That’s my man! She never had to worry about his feelings for her.
“Hi everyone, I would like to use this opportunity to introduce my boyfriend, Felix Northley, to my fans. We are currently in a stable and loving relationship. I can understand if any of you stop supporting me because of this, but please don’t say anything nasty about him because he’s the most wonderful man I know.”
It did not matter to her if her popularity dipped,
If her fans stopped liking her because she was attached, it would mean that they did not like her because of her singing skills in the first place. If they did not appreciate her talent, they could not be considered real fans anyway.
Indeed, the news of Ysabelle dating broke the hearts of countless male fans.
D”mn! Who’s this Felix Northley? He doesn’t deserve to be with our little fairy! Little fairy, please don’t! Look at me! I’m the destined one for you!
Exactly! This Mr. Northley is not even handsome. More importantly, he looks so old! He’s so much older than our little fairy. That won’t do!
Are you guys kidding? Do you really not know who Felix Northley is? Just search for “Northley Group.” It’s one of the four largest corporations in Chanaea. How could you guys not know?
So what if he’s rich? Little fairy belongs to us! Do you think she’s really in love with him? She’s just together with him for his money!
Haha! How is that possible? Don’t you know little fairy’s family background? Her family owns Lombard Group! Lombard Group? Is she really related to the family that owns Lombard Group?
Felix felt a flicker of irritation when he saw those comments, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Being a singer meant that Ysabelle was also a public figure. Besides, there are all kinds of netizens, and they were free to say what they wanted.
Xandra called Ysabelle immediately when she saw the news, feeling surprised that the latter had decided to publicize her relationship.
“Xandra, I know I will lose quite a number of fans by doing so, but I want to give Felix a sense of security. That’s why I decided to make our relationship public.”
After all, it was not reasonable to expect her to stay single forever.
After a pause, Ysabelle carried on, “But please don’t worry. I will continue to put effort into my singing. Being recognized as a good singer is more important to me than being liked as an idol.”
“All right. I understand. As long as you are sure, the company will definitely support you all the way!” Xandra genuinely understood. After all, Ysabelle was a singer, and she had never wanted to be an idol.
Hence, it would not be a big deal even if her fanbase decreased after the announcement.
She just had to focus on singing, and more people would notice her talent sooner or later.
“Xandra, thanks for your understanding.”
After hanging up, Xandra called Sophie, who expressed her support for Ysabelle’s decision.
Since the boss had already made her stand clear, as an employee, Xandra did not think her opinion would matter anyway.
All she had to do was handle the fans and try to appease them.
Meanwhile, William, who also saw the news, let out a long sigh.
“Dad, why are you sighing? They make a good couple, don’t they? Besides, we already know Felix very well. More importantly, he loves Ysabelle wholeheartedly. Her happiness is all that matters.”
The rest was really not important.
Age was not a factor as well.
“What else can I say? None of you is going to listen to an old man like me anyway.” There was nothing William could do but accept it. However, his head started aching at the thought of their complicated relationship.
Just then, Ysabelle and Felix arrived.
“Grandpa, I really, really like Felix. He’s the only one for me. You’re the person I love most, so I hope to get your blessings,” Ysabelle said determinedly. She would not separate with Felix no matter what.
“Would anything I say matter given the current state of things? Ysabelle, remember this. I just want you to be happy.
“Thanks, Grandpa. You’re the best!” Ysabelle embraced William before continuing, “You can’t bully Felix as well, okay? I’ll be upset if you do that.”
