305 You Force Her?
“Okay.”
Isabella heaved a sigh of relief.
Cedric picked up the phone and was about to turn it off. When he saw that it was a call from Joseph, he hesitated for a moment and looked apologetically at Isabella, “This call is very important. It’s about someone’s life. I have to answer it first.”
Isabella suddenly remembered that day in the bathroom. When she and Joseph were about to have intercourse, Joseph had also received a phone call concerned about someone’s life and left her. Thinking of this, Isabella couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She rubbed her forehead and said, “Just take it.”
Cedric smiled warmly and answered the phone.
“Cedric, come to the underground boxing ring.”
Joseph’s cold voice sounded, which made Cedric stunned. “What happened? You haven’t found your girlfriend yet?”
“I’ve found her,” even through the phone, Joseph’s voice sounded quite gloomy. “But she left with another man.”
“So you need to vent your anger out?”
.....
During the years that Joseph and Stella were separated, it was said that his private life was indiscreet. Therefore, Cedric didn’t think Joseph’s “love affairs” were sympathetic. Especially when Cedric knew that the girl Joseph liked left him because of his cheating, he even had a bit of gloating in his heart.
Compared to Joseph, Cedric was better for his loyalty.
Cedric didn’t like to cheat.
Therefore, the reason why he picked up the call at this time was just that he wanted to ensure Stella’s safety. He didn’t really care about whether Joseph could get her back.
Cedric said directly, “Why don’t you find Jayden or Zachary? I’m busy now.”
Joseph asked sharply, “What is it?”
Seeing that Isabella was carefully wrapping herself into the blanket, Cedric laughed and said, “I’m with my girlfriend now. You know what I mean.”
Joseph tightened his grip and shouted, “Cedric! I don’t know what you mean! Come to the underground boxing ring now! Don’t oppose me!”
Then Joseph hung up the phone and drove away.
Cedric looked at his phone and frowned.
“He must be drunk...”
Cedric hesitated for a moment. Seeing this, Isabella immediately sat up from the bed. She was alert and kept a distance from him. She said with a nervous face, “It’s okay. You can leave now.”
Cedric put on an awkward smile and said, “It’s my buddy who broke up with his girlfriend. He probably drank too much and said that he would never talk to me if I didn’t go find him. He has been like this for the past few days. Just now, when I said that I was with my girlfriend and couldn’t go meet him, he got angry immediately. It seems that he is very jealous.”
Isabella said seriously, “So he just broke up. Your expression when you said that you were with me was indeed very hateful. It might have hurt him a lot.”
Cedric rubbed his forehead and smiled, “I heard that one couldn’t show off often. It seems to be true, especially one can’t show off before a man who just broke up.”
Isabella smirked, “Maybe he actually likes you? Maybe he was angry because he knew you were with a woman?”
Cedric was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter. Then, he walked over to the bed, gently held Isabella’s face, and kissed her. “It’s okay. Even if he likes me, I will be loyal to you. I am heterosexual.”
“Keep your promise then.”
Isabella slightly pushed Cedric away and said, “You’d better leave now. Don’t come back too late.”
Cedric hugged Isabella and pressed his forehead against hers, “Don’t worry, I will knock him out with one punch and come back earlier...”
“Fine.”
...
Cedric drove to the underground boxing ring of a top club in the city.
This was a place where he, Joseph, and the others often came to have fun. No matter if they felt stressed because of work or if they encountered something unpleasant, they liked to come here to release themselves.
The originally bustling boxing ring was silent tonight. Cedric knew that Joseph had booked the entire place.
As Cedric walked into this place, Jayden and Zachary were talking about something together. Seeing this, Cedric walked over and said in a joyful voice, “What? Are you guys coming over to spar tonight? Are you ready to lose a few teeth?”
“Cedric, help!”
Zachary said with his legs trembling, “Joseph looks like he’s going to eat me. You and I are not good at boxing. You must quickly beat him. Otherwise, we will be tortured!”
Cedric smiled and said, “How about we ambush him and beat him up? Then we can go back home so that he won’t haunt us for several hours.”
Jayden blinked at Cedric and said, “Cedric, you took Isabella away just now? She went to your place? Are you and Isabella really going to get married?”
“Of course.”
Cedric put his hands on his waist and nodded happily, “Get married quickly, do you understand? I am such a fashionable person, and I must take the lead on the trend! So you will soon receive my wedding invitation, and then you’ll receive the news that I have a child.”
Zachary put on an envious face and said, “Damn, that’s so fast. I wanted to date her before.”
Cedric raised his eyebrows.
Zachary immediately waved his hand and said, “Cedric, I won’t dare to do that. I just admire her beauty. Fine, I will allow you to punch me later.”
“Good apology.”
Cedric patted Zachary on the shoulder in satisfaction. With the warning that filled his eyes, he said, “If you dare to tease my wife in the future, I will tease you until you can no longer find a wife.”
“...”
“Joseph is here!”
Jayden said, “Look at his face. He looks like he’s going to eat us! Stop laughing!”
Cedric raised his head and saw that Joseph had changed into a set of black sports attire. His expression was quite gloomy. “Cedric, I’ll give you five minutes to change your clothes.”
Cedric patted Jayden on the shoulder and smiled, “If I can’t beat him, remember to help me. Don’t care about mercy or morality. Otherwise, you will also be beaten by him.”
“Roger!”
Cedric strode over and said, “There’s no need to change. Joseph, I still have something to do. I’ll spar with you just for a while.”
Joseph threw her boxing gloves into Cedric’s arms.
Then, he said coldly, “What’s the matter? Are you busy sleeping with a woman?”
Cedric took the gloves with a smile. He remembered what Isabella had said about Joseph. Cedric was not annoyed and said, “To tell you the truth, you’re right. I told her today, and she is my girlfriend now. I was just about to spend the night with her when you called me. How’s that? Such a good friend, right?”
Joseph’s expression was very bad. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Spend the night with her? Did she agree to spend the night with you? Or you forced her?”
