Chapter 307

307 Domineering and Powerful

Forget it! So what if something happened? This man called her early in the morning and scolded her.

Isabella wouldn’t worry about him!

Isabella made up her mind and tried to cheer herself up. She threw her phone into her bag, changed her clothes, and took a taxi to the Stretton family’s private hospital.

Just as she got in the taxi, her phone rang again.

Isabella didn’t recognize the number and picked it up. “Hello...”

“I’m injured!”

Joseph became smarter this time and cut to the chase, “Come to see me in the VIP ward of the city hospital. Bring me some soup. I’m hungry!”

Isabella felt relaxed. For some reason, she didn’t feel agitated when she heard Joseph’s voice again. “You have a great chef. Why do you want me to bring you soup?”

“He cut his finger!”

.....

“Other cooks can cook for you!”

“I don’t want grandpa to know that I caused trouble outside. Otherwise, he would hit me just like last time. I might be injured again! Right, that time, I was beaten because I helped you to deal with the pervert. If it wasn’t for me, you would have been sold by your father! You owe me a big favor!”

Isabella was lost for words.

Joseph was really good at finding excuses for himself. Isabella pursed her lips and said ruthlessly, “Then let William cook for you. He is on your side.”

“William’s rheumatism has flared up! He doesn’t want to work hard anymore!”

Isabella didn’t know what to say.

“Are you coming or not?” Isabella was silent. Joseph couldn’t help but ask.

Isabella thought for a moment. “Why should I come over? We have nothing to do with each other now! I don’t want to marry you anymore!”

“How dare you!”

Joseph was afraid that Isabella would hang up the phone. After yelling, he said in a low voice, “Let me put it this way, Isabella. The one-month agreement between us has is not over yet. My grandpa has not passed away, and your job isn’t over. Do you remember the two conditions you mentioned? If you don’t come today, I won’t stop harassing you. I know you take a fancy to Cedric. Do you think you’ve got a backer? I’ll never let you be at peace!”

“Joseph!” Isabella was about to go crazy, “Why are you so shameless? This matter has nothing to do with Cedric!”

“I am not only shameless, but I am also domineering and powerful! It is 6:30 now. If you do not show up before 8, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!”

“You!”

Joseph hung up.

This time, Joseph hung up on Isabella. He ruthlessly retaliated against Isabella’s disrespect just now. Joseph proudly shook his legs on the bed. “Gerry, get me twenty bodyguards. When Isabella comes over later, I want to kidnap her.”

“Yes, but will Miss Isabella really come?”

Joseph thought for a moment and said fiercely, “She will! She is smart, so she will come for sure. She knows the consequences! She will come!”

“Yes, but you haven’t eaten anything yet. Do you want to eat something first...”

“There is no need. I’m in a good mood. I don’t need to eat.”

William looked at his pocket watch and said with mixed feelings, “It’s better to eat something. Miss Isabella is not gonna make it. It will take her some time to cook soup.”

Joseph said, “Then send her a message and tell her that there is a kitchen here. Tell her to come before 7:30!”

...

“Damn it!”

Joseph hung up the phone and threatened Isabella. Isabella smashed the seat in frustration. “How could there be such a rude and unreasonable man in the world? How could there be such a shameless man?”

The taxi driver was a kind middle-aged man. When he saw Isabella’s conflicted expression, he could not help but laugh. “Your boyfriend?”

Isabella calmed down a little and pursed her lips. “Ex-boyfriend.”

“Does he want to get back together with you?”

“How is that possible? He can’t forget his ex-girlfriend, and he doesn’t care about me. I’m still young. I have plenty of choices!” Isabella pursed her lips.

“Is that so?”

“I heard from his tone that he actually quite likes you.” The driver was a little surprised.

Isabella said in disdain, “Did you hear him? He is so mean. Does he sound like he likes me? He is shameless, childish, domineering, and unreasonable!”

The driver smiled.

“I might be wrong, but I think a man will be childish only in front of the woman he likes,” the driver said.

“Really?”

“Yes. Men are usually very independent. They are brave outside. However, no matter how powerful a man is, he will be fragile sometimes. He will always find someone who makes him feel comfortable. He will lose his temper and act spoiled, but it was only when he is in front of the person he likes. This woman must be his true love.”

Isabella pursed her lips. “No way.”

“It’s true.”

The driver laughed, “You will know in five years or when you get married. I’m old, but when I return home, I always want my wife to dote on me. My wife often says that she is raising two sons. The elder one is me, and the younger one is our son.”

Isabella laughed out.

“Interesting. I didn’t expect you to be such a romantic person,” Isabella could not help but laugh.

“But I won’t allow anyone to bully my wife!”

“I’ve promised my wife that I’ll protect her, and she’ll also protect me!” The driver patted his chest.

Isabella looked down and was lost in her thoughts. “I protect him. He protects me...”

They had a joyful conversation. The driver even gave Isabella a discount. Isabella was very sure that the driver was a kind man. So when she entered the hospital, she could not help thinking about what he said on the way.

“This woman must be his true love. The man will feel safe around this woman...”

Isabella pursed her lips. “Am I his true love? Will he dote on me?”

As she thought, the elevator reached the 16th floor of the private hospital, where Cedric was.

Cedric was hospitalized, so Cedric was the only patient on the entire 16th floor. Isabella easily found Cedric’s ward.

He was sitting at the small table on the bed and drinking soup.

“What happened to you?”

“If it wasn’t for the fact that you were the only one here, I wouldn’t have recognized you.” Isabella looked at Cedric’s swollen face in surprise.

Cedric raised his head and smiled warmly. Unfortunately, his face was twisted and his smile looked a little scary.

Isabella shivered, and Cedric instantly covered his face with a napkin. “Don’t look at me. My face is scary. It was just an accident.”

“Didn’t you go out to meet your friends?”

Isabella took the napkin away. “I’m not afraid. What happened? Did you run into gangsters on your way back?”
