Chapter 294

294 I Just Want You to Be Happy

“Oh, right.”

Isabella scratched her head and giggled, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

She then handed the soup to Cedric and said, “Have a taste. I think it should be good.”

“Okay.”

Cedric took it and praised after taking a sip, “The taste is unique. It’s great.”

“I learned how to make it from my mother. My stepfather often got drunk, and she would make the soup for him. But she actually learned it from my biological father, so it should be a secret recipe. That’s why it tastes so delicious,” Isabella said proudly.

“So you inherited your father’s cooking skills.”

“Believe it or not, I think I have a gift for cooking. If I hadn’t chosen to learn dancing, I might have made a fortune as an excellent cook.”

The wind at night was cool. In the dim light, Cedric looked at Isabella’s beautiful, gentle face, hoping that the warm feeling in his heart could last forever.

.....

The husband returned home in the evening, and his wife waited for him while making delicious soup...

Life was simple, but it made people feel comfortable and warm...

Cedric couldn’t help but reach out a hand to hold Isabella’s face and moved close. “Isabella...”

Isabella was laughing, but when feeling Cedric’s hands, she looked up and was slightly stunned to meet his eyes, which were filled with affection.

She wondered what he was going to do with this face...

“Thank you very much.”

Cedric put down his hands and patted Isabella on the shoulders. “I’m used to living alone, so I never got a servant, but an hour maid. Whenever I got drunk, nobody would wait for me at home and cook soup for me... Now I’m very happy.”

Knowing that she was thinking too much, Isabella lowered her head and smiled, “It turns out you’ll be moved so easily. How about this? I’ll make soup for you whenever you get drunk.”

“Okay, that’s a promise,” Cedric said with a warm smile. “If I get drunk again, you’ll make me the soup.”

...

The next day, Isabella got up, only to find that Cedric had gotten up early to make breakfast.

Her face turned red in embarrassment. “I have nothing to do recently, so I should be the one cooking. Moreover, you came back late last night and must be very tired.”

Cedric, however, persuaded her. “We should share the work of the house. You made soup for me last night, so I should make breakfast this morning.”

Hearing this, Isabella felt that he was really a good person.

After Cedric left, she began to clean up the house. After finishing the cleaning, she returned to the Smith’s house.

She promised to attend a blind date party with Carl today.

The wallpapers in the house had all been changed to the bright-colored ones, and the furniture had been brand new with small ornaments. The flowers and trees in the courtyard had also been trimmed by the gardeners.

Isabella suddenly remembered that the wedding of Lukas and Rosy was around the corner.

She smiled and walked in.

“Isabella!”

Workers were adjusting the furniture, so the door was open and Isabella entered directly. Seeing her, Rosa was a little excited. “You don’t work today?”

“Didn’t Dad say he would take me to a blind date party tonight? I lost my phone and got my number changed. I thought he might not be able to contact me, so I came back.”

Isabella smiled and hugged Rosa. “I can also take the chance to visit you.”

Rosa looked at the upstairs and pulled Isabella into the bathroom, whispering, “When are you going to bring your boyfriend back?”

Isabella was stunned and looked away. “Well, that depends.”

Rosa was Isabella’s mother and knew her very well. “Did you have a fight?”

Isabella looked down. “No, it’s just a small problem.”

“Did he do anything bad to you?”

Isabella thought about what Joseph had done and felt sad. She said directly, “No, but I think he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend, so I need more time to see if I want to be with him. I can’t bear it that he’s in love with someone else.”

Rosa nodded thoughtfully. “In that case, I think you’d better attend the party tonight.”

Isabella looked at her in surprise. “But Dad has never taken me to a good place...”

“No, today’s party is different.”

Rosa whispered, “I heard that the man is the only son of an influential family in Peace City. He’s about 30 and just came back from abroad. It’s said that he’s a steady, smart and good-tempered man. Now he’s looking for a woman to start a family with, not for anything related to his family. I have seen the pictures. He is very handsome.”

Isabella could not help but laugh. “Do you want me to marry him? Why are you so sure that he’s a good man? What if he’s a pervert?”

“Your father always saw some wrong guys, but...”

Rosa lowered her voice, “A few days ago, when Rosy was chatting with Sarah and some other friends, I heard that they all praised this man. They are all smart women and won’t like terrible guys.”

Isabella nodded in thought.

“You don’t have to feel guilty. You are not married yet, so you should do something for your own future.”

Rosa consoled, “Didn’t you just say that your boyfriend hasn’t forgotten his ex-girlfriend? So don’t bet your future on him alone. I just want you to be happy, whoever you’re to be with. If the man is really as excellent as they said, you should go for him, okay?”

Isabella scratched her head with a smile.

“I’m not kidding!”

Rosa said seriously, “His parents have a big party tonight. It is a party in name, but everyone knows that it aims at finding a wife for their son. You’re good at dancing and also beautiful. If you have a thing for him, don’t be shy and invite him to dance with you. Maybe you can impress him by doing this! I believe that your father will try his best to get you two together so as to curry favor with his family!”

Isabella pouted. “Why do I feel it so strange, throwing such a grand party just for finding their son a wife? What is his name?”

“I didn’t dare to ask.”

Rosa shook her head, “But according to your father’s words, he’s definitely from a very prestigious family. Look, Sarah and her sister are daughters of the Deputy Chief of the Public Security Bureau, while Dorothy’s father is an influential tea trader, so the man’s family is definitely rich and powerful. If you can marry him, you’ll have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life!”

Isabella nodded. “I remember it.”

“Isabella...”

Rosa fixed Isabella’s collar and said with red eyes, “I know that you don’t want to play up to someone rich, but I want you to get out of the place as soon as possible. I can do nothing to help you. I just hope that you can be happy and marry a man who’s good to you. Don’t end up living the same life like me... A woman can be happy only when she lives with love...”

Isabella’s eyes turned red and she hugged Rosa. “Mom, I know that.”
