Chapter 283

283 The Perfect Wife for Him

The shirt was as big as a nightdress for her. But it was just below her hip line because her legs were long.

Her slender legs were pale and smooth, forming a sharp contrast with the black shirt. She was standing on the carpet. Each of the toes on her small feet looked like a cute pearl.

Cedric suddenly felt something. It was kind of embarrassing.

“I said that because I wanted to borrow your shirt.”

Isabella walked over and took the bag from Cedric. She flipped through the clothes inside and said in embarrassment, “They are so expensive...”

“It’s fine. I’m rich.”

Cedric smiled as he changed his shoes.

‘Interesting.’

Seeing Cedric’s behavior, Isabella hurriedly asked, “Are you eating having lunch at home?”

.....

“Yes.”

“I’m going to rest this afternoon,” Cedric said as he took off her coat.

“I see.”

“Rest for a while. I’ll cook for you right away.” Isabella hurriedly put down the bag and went to the kitchen for water.

Cedric looked at Isabella’s silhouette and said with a gentle gaze, “Take it easy. I’m not in a hurry anyway.”

“But eating on time is good for the stomach.”

Isabella walked over and handed Cedric a cup of water. “It’s a bit hot. Sit for a while and drink it later.”

“Alright.”

Cedric sized up Isabella. “Blow your hair dry first. Don’t catch a cold. Have you lost your bag? I’ll take you to buy some clothes in the afternoon.”

Isabella hurriedly said, “Don’t bother. I’ll just go back home and grab some.”

“Home? Do you mean the Smith’s or your ex-boyfriend’s place?” Cedric tilted his head to one side.

“The Smith’s, of course. I have nothing to do with him right now. I’ve left with all my things and I will not go back.”

Isabella rubbed the corner of her shirt while speaking.

Cedric cast a glance at her small movements. “It’s okay. Anyway, I have to meet my friends in the afternoon. I’ll buy you some as a gift. Don’t go back to the Smith’s if you don’t want to.”

Isabella hesitated, wondering if she should accept it.

After all, it was inappropriate to accept other people’s belongs, even though Cedric was generous.

“Take it as a reward for helping me clean the house.”

Cedric understood Isabella’s hesitation and said, “House cleaning is expensive! 300 yuan per hour. Stay here for a few days. These clothes are your reward.”

“300 yuan per hour?”

Isabella extended three fingers in surprise. “How did they get to work here? I didn’t know house cleaning is so profitable.”

Cedric saw Isabella’s eyes suddenly light up. He could not help but laugh. “What, you want to work as a part-time worker in the future?”

Isabella awkwardly retracted his finger. “I mean ... it’s not a bad idea to work on the weekends sometimes since it’s so profitable.”

“It could be dangerous to work as a part-time cleaner in someone’s home.”

Cedric glanced at Isabella’s slender legs. “Especially a beautiful young girl like you. What if the employer is a perverted man?”

“What!”

Isabella scratched her head. “No, I will find a proper agency...”

Then, she suddenly remembered something. “I can work for you, Cedric! You’re a good person. I’ll be very lucky if I can work for you!”

Cedric drank the hot water in the cup and refused without hesitation, “Don’t even think about it.”

“...”

Isabella’s face instantly turned red. She explained, “I, I know that I didn’t clean very well, but I believe I can do better after some professional training.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Cedric shook the empty cup, “Isabella, you can help me do housework. But I am not your employer. I am your family.”

Looking at Cedric’s serious expression, Isabella tugged at the corner of her clothes with a smile. “I was joking. How can I ask you for money?”

“You can!”

Cedric took out his wallet from his pocket and took out a golden credit card from it. “There’s no limit. The password is your birthday. Take it.”

Isabella was stunned. She hurriedly waved her hand. “No! How can I take your money!”

“Take it like some pocket money from a brother.”

Cedric said seriously, “You are penniless now. Although I won’t let you live on the streets and be bullied by others, I don’t want that kind of thing to happen again when you go out. I don’t want you to be in danger again.”

Isabella hesitated.

“Take it.”

Cedric stuffed the card into Isabella’s hands. “You may not use it, but you must carry it with you in case you need it.”

Isabella thought for a moment and nodded.

She liked money very much and was even a little greedy for money. However, she would not spend other people’s money randomly. But since Cedric was insisted, she shouldn’t refuse his kindness stubbornly.

She indeed needed some money. She knew that she wouldn’t be lucky every time if she encountered similar things that happened yesterday.

After all, many opportunities in life only happened once. She had no one to rely on in this world. Money was her only hope.

“Thanks then.”

“I’m going to dry my hair and cook for you,” said Isabella as she took the card.

“Alright.”

Cedric smelled the fragrance of the shower gel in the air. When she saw Isabella enter the bathroom, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Beautiful!

Virtuous!

Sexy!

He felt like in love.

She had captured his heart without teasing him deliberately.

She would be the wife that Cedric always wanted.

He was mature and sensational, and open-minded. He had been living abroad for a long time.

He didn’t believe that two people would fall in love after being together for a long time. He preferred love at first sight.

And from the first time they met under the moonlight that night, or perhaps from the first time he saw that pink little meatball, he knew that Isabella’s beauty was a fatal attraction to him.

There meant to be something between them.

God had treated him well, he sent his little wife to him again.

“Don’t rush for now,” Cedric told himself, rubbing his hands in excitement.

But he still decided to give Isabella a few more days to adapt before telling her that he loved her.

She had just fallen out of love. Accepting someone she had treated as a brother could be difficult for her.

He didn’t want to scare her. He wanted to do it step by step. The first step was to make her like him.
