Chapter 280

280 A Person Who Had Given Up Won’t Come Back

“Yes.”

Isabella nodded. “I have a good friend who rented a house outside. I asked her to drive his boyfriend away. I can stay there for a few days.”

Cedric shrugged his shoulders, “Why do I go to her place and influence her and her boyfriend? Why don’t you stay here with me? Anyway, I live alone.”

Isabella paused, “Stay here...”

“It’s spacious here. I feel boring to be alone.”

Cedric smiled, “But of course, I have a selfish reason.”

“A selfish reason?”

“I feel uncomfortable for my stomach recently. I don’t want to eat outside,” Cedric’s eyes were bright, “If it’s possible, you can cook some soft and delicious food for me. Is that okay?”

Isabella nodded but then shook her head.

.....

“I can come over to cook for you.”

“But it’s not good to stay here with you. Your girlfriend might misunderstand if she finds me here,” Isabella said frankly.

“Girlfriend? I don’t have a girlfriend,” Cedric shook his head.

Isabella smiled, “Sex partner, you mentioned before.”

Cedric laughed.

“I come back just for a few days. I have no time to find a sex partner,” he said.

Hearing this, Isabella’s eyes widened.

“What’s wrong? You don’t believe me?”

“No,” Isabella scratched her head, “I saw a few pairs of women’s slippers in the closet. I thought you had some partners.”

“They’re for part-time workers. My mother will come sometimes.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t hide these things from you. Your existence won’t let anyone misunderstand. Maybe my mother will jump in joy when she sees you.” Cedric rubbed Isabella’s head with love.

“Your mother?”

“Didn’t I tell you they are crazy for getting a grandson?” Cedric looked at Isabella and joked, “When they see you, such a beautiful girl, living in my private house, they will think that I am hiding a mistress in my golden house.”

Isabella smiled.

“Your family is interesting,” Isabella said, blushing.

Then, she patted her chest and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll hide here for two days. You don’t have to call the part-time worker over. I will clean up this place and then nourish your stomach.”

Cedric pinched Isabella’s nose, “Then I’ll leave it to you, housekeeper.”

“No problem.”

Cedric picked up his coat and left. When Isabella saw that the door was closed, she became sad.

Cedric was good. She knew he wanted her to feel comfortable to stay here, so he said his stomach was not good. However, it was not a long-term solution to stay here.

But compared to disturbing David’s family or Jane’s love, it was the most suitable to stay in Cedric’s large and independent house.

However, although Cedric came back to get married, Isabella could see he was open-minded and mature. A man in his age and status should go to find a partner quickly. It would be bad if she delayed him just because he worried about her.

Fortunately, the movie she played was about to be finished. At that time, she would be able to get 20,000. It would be more convenient to rent a house and find a job then.

Since Cedric was enthusiastic, Isabella decided to accept his kindness. Just like what Cedric said last night, maybe he and she were doomed to meet again. He would be her family.

Moreover, it was indeed safer to stay here than anywhere else. Even if Joseph didn’t want to find her, Charlie would force him to find her. She didn’t want to see Joseph now. She didn’t want to be like a clown jumping around in front of everyone again.

If Joseph couldn’t find her in a few days, he would give up. In this world, who cared about her?

But she missed Charlie who had always doted on her.

...

A heavy sound could be heard.

Joseph was kneeling on the ground in the Wilson Manor. Charlie slapped him hard, causing his face to tilt.

“It’s all your fault, you bastard!”

“If anything happens to Isabella, can you face your conscience?” Charlie roared in anger.

Joseph turned his head and said in a deep voice, “Grandfather, calm down. Right now, the most important thing is to find Isabella.”

“She will not return.”

“You will never be able to bring back a person who is disappointed in you. How many foolish things have you done for the sake of Stella,” Charlie fell onto the sofa and said sadly.

Joseph pursed his lips and said, “No, I just wanted to comfort Stella. She committed suicide and was unconscious. The doctor asked me to talk to her and asked me to wake her up. I said that just to wake her up.”

Joseph said in a deep voice, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will explain everything to Isabella. I will let her come back.”

“Then tell me where she is now! She didn’t go to the school or the Smiths. Even her friends and classmates don’t know where she is.”

Charlie whipped Joseph with his walking stick. He covered his face and said in despair, “Isabella looked bad during dinner last night. I thought that she didn’t sleep well because she made you a hangover soup that night. I should have been more alert. She ate a lot and even told me that she liked me the most, liked her sister the most, and liked all persons who were good to her. She said she would remember us and the family for the rest of her life. She was saying goodbye to us.”

Charlie’s voice became lower, “When you stayed with Stella, did you think about how disappointed Isabella would be?”

“That is indeed my fault.”

Joseph lowered his head. “I believe that she is just hiding. I will find her as soon as possible.”

“It’s turned on! It’s turned on!”

Gerry suddenly said, “Miss Isabella’s phone is finally turned on. We have found the location of her phone!”

“Where?” Joseph hurriedly asked.

“In the West District.”

“West District?” Joseph was surprised.

“No matter where she is, hurry to bring her back!” Charlie said anxiously.

“Yes, Grandfather.”

A ringtone sounded.

Just as Joseph stood up, his phone rang. As he walked out the door, he took out his phone and paused.

The phone came from Dear Little Fox.

“Isabella?”

Joseph paused. Then, he smiled in relief. He hurriedly picked up the phone and said, “Isabella, I was wrong. I apologize to you. Anyway, you go home first. Grandpa is very worried about you.”

Several men’s laughter came from the phone.

One of them asked, “You are her man, aren’t you?”
