Chapter 273

273 She Picks Him up from Work

Isabella sat on a bench and sent a message to Joseph, “Do you work overtime tonight? Are you coming home for dinner?”

Joseph replied quickly, “I can work overtime if you want me to. And I can go home if you want me to.”

Isabella replied with a smile, “Don’t work overtime. That’s what I want.”

Joseph playfully sent her another message, “What do you want then?”

Isabella knew that Joseph was trying to find himself an out. She decided to play along with him, “I want you. I miss you so much.”

After almost one minute, Isabella received his reply, “I’m on my way now.”

Isabella was stunned. Was he going home now?

She immediately stood up and walked towards the Global Building.

She asked Cedric to drop her off here because it was near the Global Building.

.....

Thinking that Joseph took her home last night even was drunk. Not only did he explain, but also sleep with her, Isabella thought that she shouldn’t ask more.

Joseph had a terrible attitude when they met. But he had learned how to make an apology and explain to her in less than one month. Although it was something wrong with his attitude and the way when he did that, it was a great improvement for him!

She didn’t expect that a young man, who was born with a silver spoon, turned into a mature family man overnight. It was indeed a great improvement that he had changed for her!

Perhaps she was unreasonable sometimes. As Jane put it, Joseph treated Stella in the same way as Isabella treated Lukas. Isabell might step in and offered help if Lukas was in danger and might die, even he was scum.

It was acceptable if she were in Joseph’s position. Joseph was not all bad. Isabella would not risk her happy future being ruined by misunderstanding.

Joseph said at noon that he was going to buy her a ring.

They had a future.

All of a sudden, she missed Joseph very much and decided to pick him up from work.

She wanted to give him a surprise. It was easy to deal with this moody man if she didn’t rub him the wrong way.

Thinking of this, Isabella speeded up and walked towards the Global Building.

Joseph’s car, an eye-catching Rolls-Royce, was pulled over at the entrance. Isabella knew that Gerry had driven the car here and Joseph would drive home later.

Isabella smiled. She was thinking how Joseph would react when he saw her. She walked slowly towards the car.

The automatic doors slid open. Joseph quickly walked out. His black hair combed back, revealing his smooth forehead and beautiful eyes. He looked capable and aggressive.

Dressing in a black suit, Joseph was an outstanding, noble and invincible gentleman.

He was indeed attractive.

Isabella pursed her lips in satisfaction. Her future husband looked cool in silence.

“Joseph!”

Seeing that Joseph was about to get in the car, Isabella tried to stop him. Suddenly, a car came from behind.

There was no time for Isabella to react. Thinking that she was going to be hit, Isabella was so scared and stepped back, falling to the ground.

A pink sports car stopped right in front of her.

“Isabella?”

Hearing that a sports car stopped, Joseph and Gerry checked it and ran over when seeing Isabella. Joseph hurriedly bent down to pick her up, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Joseph reached out his hand. Before Isabella put her hand into his, someone suddenly ran to Joseph.

Joseph didn’t catch Isabella.

“Joseph.”

A woman cried out in pain. Isabella saw a woman running into Joseph’s arms.

She was tall, slim, and stylish.

She was a beautiful woman.

Joseph was stunned, “Stella? Why are you here? I thought you are in the hospital.”

This woman was Stella Bell.

“I am so scared.”

Stella cried, “Whenever closing my eyes, I saw the kidnapper threatening me with a knife. I’m freaking out.”

“You should follow the doctor’s advice and get on with your treatment. You will be fine soon.”

Joseph held her and patted her head gently, “Believe me, there are no bad people here.”

“Joseph, I’ll only be safe when you’re by my side. Could you please stay with me?”

Stella cried in pain, “Please don’t leave me.”

“I’m busy with my work. I have sent people to protect you. Don’t worry about that, okay?” It was seldom to see Joseph being so patient.

Looking at them holding tightly, Isabella brushed off the dust and stood up. She sat on the steps aside.

Joseph looked up and realized that Isabella was there.

“Be a good girl, Stella. The psychologist is the only one who can help you get rid of your fear.” After saying that, he turned to Gerry and said, “You take Stella to the hospital personally.”

“Yes!”

Gerry answered. He came over to hold Stella. After letting go of Stella, Joseph glanced at Isabella. He walked over and reached out, “Did you hurt?”

Although Isabella was unhappy to see her future husband holding another woman, she didn’t jealous since Stella had just survived and collapsed.

Therefore, she said, “I’m fine. I just fell.”

Isabella put her hand into Joseph’s. Joseph pulled her up and leaned over to brush the dust for her. He was annoyed, “Why didn’t you watch your steps? What if you were hit? Why are you here?”

“I’ve just finished my work and decided to pick you up from work. That’s why I’m here.”

Isabella looked up and noticed that Stella was looking at them surprisingly. Her big eyes were very beautiful.

She looked stunning even her hair was messy.

Stella looked even more beautiful in person than on TV. No wonder Joseph was crazy about her. No man could resist her beauty.

She looked sad now and made people eager to protect her.

Isabella was suddenly relieved and smiled at Stella.

Joseph glanced at Isabella and adjusted her skirt and shirt for her. Then he said in a low voice, “She is Stella. I suppose that you’ve seen her on TV.”

“Yes, I have seen her before.”

“We were...”

“It’s fine. I understand.”

Isabella turned around and faced Joseph. She then took out a tissue, wiping off tears on his suit. Looking at what she was doing, Joseph suddenly burst laughter. He whispered, “Aren’t you jealous?”

“Yes, a little.”

Isabella said honestly, “But she does not look good now. She just survived a disaster and you saved her. I understand that she comes to you when she is depressed.”
