249 What a Smart Man

No one spoke.

“Isabella, exchange with her!”

Octavio joked, “Cedric is the only heir in his family. He has been educated since he was a child to protect himself carefully. He never does something risky. If he is not allowed to sit in the safest position, then I am simply Satan alive!”

Cedric smiled. “Octavio, it’s the riskiest thing for me to sit in your car. Just drive properly.”

Isabella suddenly remembered that night when she was hit by a car, and Cedric refused to get out of the car for a long time.

At that time, she guessed that Cedric was a cautious person. It turned out that he was afraid of death, so she said straightforwardly, “Mr. Cedric, let’s change our seats. I don’t want to be Satan! This is really dangerous for you.”

Cedric was speechless.

He rubbed her forehead helplessly and said, “Alright, if you insist.”

Isabella raised her butt and stood up with the seat in her arms. She moved to the side while Cedric leaned against the seat and moved in her direction.

.....

Suddenly there was a harsh sound.

This was originally a very simple matter. But Octavio suddenly braked. Isabella lost her balance and fell back onto Cedric’s leg.

A scream came from Isabella’s mouth.

As Isabella screamed, it was Cedric’s muffled groan. Octavio’s scolding sounded at the same time, “Fuck! Can you drive?”

Isabella raised her head and saw an orange convertible sports car whistling past. Although she did not see the person in the car, seeing the colorful back head, she already guessed who the guy was.

Little Plum Blossom, saw you again.

“Are you OK?”

Cedric used his hand to support Isabella’s waist. But Isabella reacted immediately and pushed off Cedric’s hand hurriedly to stand up. “I’m fine.”

Seeing her blushing face, Cedric retracted his hand and smiled “OK, be careful.”

Before he finished speaking, Octavio stepped on the accelerator and Isabella fell back onto Cedric again.

“Octavio!” Isabella protested.

“Sorry. I forget that you two are changing seats. I promise I will not hit the brakes again.”

Cedric said, “I already say that it’s very risky to take Octavio’s car.”

Cedric held Isabella by the waist for the second time and helped her stand up.

Cedric’s behavior was very gentlemanly. Isabella had overreacted just now because she was not used to being touched by a strange man. But now, she was too embarrassed to push off Cedric’s hand no matter what. She thanked him awkwardly then move to the other side and sit down.

Isabella carefully glanced at Cedric.

She saw that he was folding his legs unnaturally together, and then pulled the coat from the side to cover his lower body.

She coughed awkwardly and thought, ‘he might be in pain now.’

‘Just now, a meatball that was close to 50 kg hit him at such a high speed, and it was suspected that it hit a special part between his legs. It must be painful.’

‘That is the weakest part of a man’s body.’

‘Although Cedric looks like a very cultured person, those two suppressed groans are not faked.

‘Oh my God! Isabella, you are too evil.’

Isabella said, “You keep saying that this is the third time we have met. When did I meet you for the second time?”

Isabella deliberately tried to distract Cedric so that she could distract him from the pain. After all, she was responsible for this problem.

Cedric said, “It’s raining at the entrance of Imperial Entertainment City. I just came out and you bumped into me. You wore a colorful dress that day.”

Cedric turned his head and looked at Isabella, his face flushed abnormally.

Isabella thought, ‘Oh my god! The handsome guy did receive a critical hit.

“So it was that time!”

Isabella hammered her palm and came to a realization.

Cedric explained, “After I sent you to the hospital, the first aid doctor gave you an injection. I was just about to ask the doctor about your condition when I turned around and saw that you were missing.”

Isabella completely recalled the silly things she had done after fighting with Joseph. Cedric saw her embarrassed again. She gave a brief splutter of laughter, “At that time, it was mainly because I ran too fast and didn’t pay attention that I was hit. I didn’t want to scare the driver, so I left quietly. I don’t like to cause trouble for others.”

“Are you afraid that I will complain that you are trying to blackmail me?”

Isabella said nothing.

Then Isabella blushed and said honestly, “I’m not trying to blackmail you, nor am I afraid of the complaint. I’m afraid of encountering bad guys. I’m afraid you will beat or scold me. As a girl, I will suffer a loss, so I was scared away.”

Cedric nodded, then smiled, “Although reckless, it’s a smart choice.”

After a pause, he added, “Fortunately, the collision is not heavy. If there were internal injuries, you might be in danger after you leave. You should call your friends or family to come over.”

Isabella lowered her head in agreement.

She thought, ‘At that time, she was alone. She offended Joseph and fought to the death with Lukas. Her phone was broken and she couldn’t contact Jane or David, let alone her family.’

Seeing her expression, Cedric’s eyes flashed. “You ran out in the rain because you quarrel with your boyfriend, don’t you?”

Isabella thought, ‘You are right.’

“Yes.” Isabella gave a perfunctory smile.

“Even if it is a quarrel, in such heavy rain, he should chase you out if you run out alone. Such a man is very childish and not worth dating.”

Cedric commented to the point.

“Sometimes, he is very childish!”

Isabella said fiercely.

Then, she recalled that William had said that Joseph had spent the night looking for her in the rain. Then, she recalled the sweetness and added, “But don’t men always be a little childish sometimes? I think he is still very reliable most of the time, so I can keep my observations.”

Cedric was noncommittal. He smiled and looked out the window, saying nothing more.

An hour later, the car arrived at the restaurant in the northern suburbs.

There is a world of green jade aquamarine blue sky. The restaurant was surrounded by green trees.

Isabella looked at the ancient-style building hidden in the bamboo forest, but there was no beauty in her eyes. It’s money!

She wondered, ‘No wonder Octavio drive an hour to this place to eat. My God, this place is definitely very expensive.

“Well, it really is a good place.”

Isabella asked, “So tacky here, it shouldn’t be a very expensive place, right?”

“Not expensive at all. You can afford it.”

Octavio said with a smile, “It’s just about 1000$ per person. That’s all.”
