330 The Scorpio Palace
Isabella felt anxious, speechless and angry!
Joseph was clearly targeting her! He was clearly threatening her! He wanted to get all the benefits. How could he be so shameless?
“It’s fine. You guys keep dancing.”
“Isabella, are you alright?” Cedric held Isabella.
“I’m fine. As for you, you were hit. Are you okay?” Isabella asked with concern.
Cedric shook his head. “I’m not that weak. Everyone is having fun tonight. It’s quite interesting.”
Isabella looked at the two people spinning in the field. “I don’t like this kind of atmosphere. It’s too noisy.”
Cedric smiled and knocked on Isabella’s forehead.
“As expected, our hearts are connected. Although it is interesting, it is too noisy. Let’s go to the end of the boat and enjoy the wind.”
.....
“Alright.”
Cedric led Isabella away.
“I’ll give you a sweet cocktail.”
At the stern of the ship, Cedric and Isabella were leaning against the guardrail. There was no noise, and the night breeze was cool. The atmosphere was just right.
“What is this?” Isabella looked at the cocktail in her hand and said in admiration, “The taste is really good.”
“The Scorpio Palace.”
Cedric smiled, “The taste is very good, but it has a very strong effect. Usually, bad men would use it to get a woman drunk in bars.”
Isabella smiled. “Do you want to get me drunk?”
“Maybe you would agree to my proposal when you were drunk?”
Cedric leaned against the railing and raised his head, enjoying the night breeze. His eyes were filled with happiness. “This feeling is really good. I haven’t felt this satisfied in many years.”
“Do you often get girls drunk in bars?” When Isabella heard that the cocktail in her hand was quite strong, she only stuck out the tip of her tongue and tasted a little, not daring to drink it more.
Cedric saw Isabella’s pink little tongue dip into the cup and then immediately retract it, acting like a naughty snake. He couldn’t help but rub her head and laugh. “What are you thinking about? Why do I want to get you drunk on purpose? It’s very uncomfortable to get drunk! Don’t worry and drink. I have changed the Martini with champagne. It’s not strong.”
Isabella smiled foolishly. “That’s good.”
Then, she drank it without any doubt.
“It’s really nice!” Isabella praised, “It’s better than any single drink. It’s the best drink I’ve ever had!”
“Isabella...”
Cedric looked at the excited Isabella with a warm light in his eyes. “Can you tell me about your past?”
Isabella’s laughter stopped abruptly.
Cedric’s eyes darkened. “I’m not doubting you, nor am I trying to confirm anything...”
Cedric held Isabella’s hand gently. “I simply want to know more about you. How can a person have so many different sides? If she does, she must have some purpose. Isabella, what is your most real side?”
Isabella lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time. Then, she suddenly said, “I said that I actually don’t want to remember anything, do you believe me? My life goal has always been to forget the past and walk toward the future. If I keep thinking about what I have suffered before, I will not even be happy now.”
Best
She paused for a moment. “I want to be a cockroach that can’t be killed. No matter what setbacks I encounter, I have to live a good life. I have always been optimistic and brave forward. I feel that I haven’t found my own happiness yet. I will stop until I find my happiness.”
Cedric’s eyes darkened.
Then he suddenly pulled Isabella into his arms. “Since that’s the case, then don’t think about the past. I will give you happiness. Don’t force yourself on your own. If you’re tired, stop. I’ll protect you in the future.”
Isabella felt the intense heartbeat in Cedric’s chest, and her heart warmed.
It had to be admitted that the reason why Cedric was able to move her quickly in a few days was exactly because of his gentleness.
He was very good at reading people, and he was also very good at analyzing others. Unlike the hot-tempered Joseph, every word he said could make Isabella feel warm.
This was also the fundamental reason why Isabella wanted to “try to get along” with Cedric. She wanted a warm and gentle person to let her live a stable and happy life in the future.
“By the way, I have a wish that I want to fulfill. Can you help me?” Cedric hugged Isabella and stroked her long hair.
Hearing Cedric take the initiative to make a request, Isabella immediately nodded. “Of course, just say it.”
“I...”
Cedric smiled and whispered into Isabella’s ear, “I think...”
...
As soon as Cedric and Isabella left the scene, Joseph noticed it.
However, he still managed to finish the dance patiently.
Stella was indeed having a good time tonight because Joseph had pulled her to dance three times in one go. She felt that Joseph was really becoming better and better to her. So when she saw that he wanted to leave, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. “Are you tired? Why don’t we go have a drink first?”
Joseph said gently, “No need, I see that you are in good condition. You can keep dancing.”
Then he shouted, “Jayden!”
“Joseph, what’s the matter?”
“Come and dance with Stella!”
“I will rest for a while,” Joseph instructed.
“Alright!”
Stella watched helplessly as Joseph sent her to Jayden and frowned.
Jayden grinned. “Stella, look at me.”
Stella smiled gently. “It’s no use seducing me. I only have Joseph in my heart.”
“Well.”
“That’s really a scene that I’m looking forward to,” Jayden said as he raised his brows.
“Expected?”
Jayden laughed.
“It’s nothing. Come, let’s go!” Jayden rolled his eyes and said.
Joseph walked out from the dance floor and headed towards the end of the boat where Cedric and Isabella were.
Then when he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly stopped.
There was a blanket on the ground, and Cedric and Isabella lay side by side. The two of them were looking up at the night sky together.
“When I was young, I watched TV shows.”
Cedric’s pleasant, low, and magnetic voice sounded. “Seeing the male and female protagonists watching the stars in the night sky together, I feel very magical. It feels like the most romantic thing in the world.”
“So when you grow up, you want to put it into practice?”
“How boring is your life? Is it hard to look at stars?” Isabella laughed.
“It is different...”
Cedric shook his head. “Stars can be seen every day, but it is another thing to feel very comfortable when you look at them.”
