310 Boil the Phone
Isabella was speechless and walked to the kitchen submissively. “Do you want to eat something I cook? I’ll cook then.”
Joseph chuckled proudly. With a shameless expression, he lowered his head and pinched his nails. His expression changed. “Isabella, I’m telling you! Don’t have any evil ideas. Do you think I will let you go and flirt with Cedric?”
Isabella said seriously, “Cedric can make me feel more at ease than you do.”
Joseph’s eyes sharpened. “Say it again!”
Isabella looked at Joseph and didn’t dare to say anything.
“Go cook!”
Joseph roared, “If you dare to mention Cedric in front of me again, I will lock you in the manor and never give you any freedom!”
Isabella stared at Joseph in shock. Joseph said, “What are you staring at? If you don’t cook, I will starve to death!”
Isabella turned and entered the kitchen.
.....
Isabella was submissive. However, Joseph didn’t feel satisfied. The moment he thought of how Isabella had glared at him with reluctance just now, he became furious!
Joseph saw Cedric’s name on Isabella’s phone on the table.
Joseph was boiling with rage. This damn girl was thinking of carving the symbol of another man...
Joseph limped into the kitchen.
When Isabella saw Joseph, she said warily, “I’m cooking! I don’t have any evil ideas! Joseph, don’t stare at me here. If my hand trembles and I add too much salt, the food will be salty!”
Joseph looked at the pot beside him. “Is this hot water?”
“Yes. I’ll make you something nutritious. Then you will recover soon.” Isabella rolled her eyes.
“Oh...”
Joseph walked over, opened the lid, threw Isabella’s black cool phone in, and covered the lid.
“Joseph!”
When Isabella saw this, her eyeballs almost fell out. She hurriedly rushed over to open the lid to save her phone, but Joseph used his burly body to block her. He said arrogantly, “I will buy you a new one, a hundred times better than this.”
“I don’t want a new one!”
Isabella was exasperated. “Cedric lent it to me. How could you break it? How can I compensate him? It’s very expensive!”
“Oh? So your relationship with Cedric is not as good as I thought.”
Joseph looked askance at Isabella. “You still have to compensate for the phone? Cedric is stingy. He is unwilling to spend money on you.”
Isabella was speechless. “What right do you have to speak ill of Cedric? He is much more generous than you. You know I’m poor, but you once asked me for 20!”
Joseph was stunned.
Isabella immediately pushed Joseph away and scooped the phone out of the pot with a spoon. Then, she let it cool and wiped it with a distressed expression. She was on the verge of crying.
Joseph stretched out his neck to see that Isabella failed to turn on the phone and smiled sinisterly. “It’s broken. It can’t be used anymore, right?”
Isabella’s eyes reddened. “Joseph! You bully!”
“I’ll buy you a better one. It’s inlaid with crystal,” Joseph said disdainfully. “I’ll buy you a new one with pink diamonds! It will satisfy your greed!”
“No need! Move aside! I need to cook!” Isabella gritted her teeth and pushed Joseph away.
Joseph smiled evilly. “You look beautiful when you are angry.”
“You...”
Isabella looked at Joseph, who had a swollen face and an evil smile on his face. She didn’t have the heart to scold Joseph and tried hard to suppress her anger. She said after a long time, “Since you feel good, come help me. Pour out the dirty water and boil it again.”
“Okay.”
Unexpectedly, Joseph agreed readily. He walked over to the stove but didn’t know what to do. He knew nothing about cooking.
“Oh, I forgot.”
Isabella deliberately covered her mouth and moved closer to Joseph. “I accidentally thought of you as Cedric. He knows how to cook, while you don’t even know how to boil water. Oh right, the pasta he makes is tasty!”
Joseph’s face darkened.
“Well, if there’s nothing else, you should leave.” Isabella rolled her eyes. “Since you can’t cook, you will hinder me in the kitchen.”
Joseph’s face darkened again.
Joseph turned around and shamelessly leaned behind Isabella. “Isabella, tell me, when did you meet Cedric? He just returned a few days ago.”
Isabella pursed her lips. “Why should I tell you that?”
“I will hang you at the gate of the manor tonight.”
“...”
Isabella picked up the pot and slammed it into Joseph’s chest to knock him away. “I met him when I was a child! Okay?”
Joseph took a step back and rubbed his chest. He had some trouble walking and his face was swollen. At first glance, he was like a child bullied by Isabella.
But in fact, he had bullied Isabella, and Isabella almost cried.
“You have known each other for so long? You have been in contact for so many years?” Joseph frowned. “What did you two do earlier? Now you disgust me.”
“We met again recently.”
Isabella recalled. “In the first few years my mom got remarried, Carl did not live in Peace City, so I lost contact with Cedric.”
Joseph cupped Isabella’s face in his hand and carefully sized her up. He didn’t trust her. “If I remember correctly, you were only about five years old at that time. How could you remember Cedric at such a young age? Don’t try to fool me.”
“Cedric remembers me.”
Isabella said honestly, “He was very good to me when he was young. After he left, he missed me a lot. Later, he went abroad and met me after he came back...”
Isabella smiled. She was lost in those beautiful memories. “He really treats me very well. We were so happy when we recognized each other. That day in the West City District, if it weren’t for him...”
Joseph looked at Isabella’s happy expression and instantly became angry. He used all his strength to let her look at him. Isabella protested, “What are you doing? I’m cooking!”
“Cedric isn’t as good-tempered as he appears to be. He changed his girlfriends every three days and slept with dozens of girls abroad. Moreover, those girls were from different races and countries. Isabella, did something happen to your brain? Are you out of your mind?”
“I don’t care about his past! As long as he treats his wife well after marriage, it will be fine!”
Joseph grimaced. “I mean, your weak body can’t satisfy his wild desire! You will be tortured miserably!”
