Chapter 331

331 Think About It Seriously

Then he turned his head to look at Isabella. “When you are with someone you love, everything you see will be iridescent.”

Isabella smiled, noncommittal. “Since you said so, let’s enjoy the view together.”

“Great!”

Cedric sat up on the blanket. He wrapped Isabella in the blanket with only her head revealed as he held her in his arms. “Well, if you want to stay with me to enjoy the view, then you must not miss the next!”

“The next?”

“What do you mean by that?” Isabella asked with a tilt of her head.

Her bright round eyes radiated under the starry sky.

“I mean the sunrise after the stars.”

Cedric smiled as he pointed to the east, “The sun rises in the east. If we sit here until dawn, we can see the sunrise tomorrow.”

.....

Isabella laughed out loud. “This is too silly. I won’t stay here all night, Cedric. This is too tormenting! You can wait for the sunrise here alone if you want.”

“You have no option, Isabella,” Cedric said with a smile, “I won’t let you go.”

“Stop it, Cedric! Don’t tickle me.”

Isabella roared with laughter, shaking in the blanket. Cedric did not let go of her and also laughed happily...

Joseph held the railing of the boat so tightly that his fingers paled. After a long time, he loosened his hands and turned to leave...

It was probably during high school.

Joseph still remembered what Cedric had said at that time.

Cedric said that he felt that the most romantic thing in the world was not to say words of love or to do something earth-shattering, but to watch the stars and the sunrise with his beloved girl together.

The sun rose and set, then the moon rose in the stars. All the romance was hidden in the most beautiful ordinary days.

Cedric was not only willing to pursue the most beautiful romance but also to live an ordinary life.

A few days ago, when Cedric had just returned home and everyone asked him about his relationship, he still said jokingly, “I haven’t found a girl who can watch the stars with me yet. How can I have a child and carry on the family line of the Stretton family? This is too demanding of me!”

At that time, Zachary teased, “Cedric, I promise that all the women in Peace City will come to watch the stars with you if you just spread the news outside with a loudspeaker.”

What Zachary said amused all of them. Joseph also said, “There are a lot of women in Peace City, but only one is the girl Cedric wants to lie down and watch the stars together.”

Cedric giggled. “Joseph, you know me the best.”

Now, it seemed that Cedric finally found the girl he wanted to watch the stars together.

Did Cedric have a feeling for Isabella? This was exactly what Joseph did not want to see the most!

On what basis did Cedric choose Isabella?

They had only known each other for a few days.

Isabella was very sharp in front of him, but when she was with Cedric, Isabella acted like a tamed sheep.

Was Cedric really meant to step into a relationship with Isabella?

For the first time, Joseph felt that he should face his real feelings for Isabella.

For the first time, Joseph felt that he should face his real feeling for Isabella.

When there came a rival, Joseph then realized the bitter feeling of his beloved being taken away.

Perhaps Joseph had done one wrong thing.

He had always been thinking that Isabella was his woman for no reason and this was a definite and undeniable fact. No one could, and no one dared to shake his position and power.

However, Joseph had ignored that the hearts of people could be shaken.

In front of Cedric, Isabella was obedient and a hundred times cuter than when she was before Joseph.

Best

“Did I do something wrong? How should I recover this relationship?” Joseph thought.

Joseph gulped down the wine and frowned.

He couldn’t hesitate anymore like this! He did not want to give up on Isabella!

Isabella was his girl! No one was allowed to take her away, and Isabella couldn’t leave him forever!

Whoever dared to take Isabella away from him, Joseph would go crazy and show no mercy!

Joseph had given Isabella one day to end up everything with Cedric, and he would wait for one day. As soon as the clock hit tomorrow, Isabella must leave Cedric, or don’t blame Joseph for being merciless!

Joseph raised his head and gulped down the entire bottle of wine...

Joseph was now a bit drunk.

Although Isabella still thought of Cedric as her friend, it was clear that Cedric treated her not just as “a friend”. Joseph was not sure whether Isabella knew it or not.

What was more, to Cedric, Isabella was not just a girl he liked and wanted to marry.

As Cedric had said, he was going to do the most romantic thing in the world with his beloved, and he was now watching the stars with Isabella.

Joseph held the cup tightly and continued to drink.

After a while, Joseph caught a whiff of flowery perfume. and a pair of soft and thin arms were draped casually around his shoulders. “Joseph...”

Joseph paused and then came back to his senses. “Stella.”

“Why did you drink so much? I’ve been looking for you. The ball is over.”

Stella rested her chin on Joseph’s shoulder. Joseph didn’t turn on the lights. The lights in the cabin were dim and a shaft of moonlight fell on half of Joseph’s handsome face.

In silence, Joseph was gentle and mysterious, and Stella couldn’t help but approach him.

“I’m a bit tired.”

Joseph held Stella’s arm with her hand, soft but distant. “The ball tonight was specially prepared for you. How do you feel? Have you had fun tonight?”

“The ball is great...”

Stella held Joseph’s hand and walked up to him, looking a bit tired and haggard. “But I don’t feel very happy.”

Joseph burped slightly and asked in confusion, “Why?”

Then he added after a pause, “Just tell Zachary if there is anything you are dissatisfied with. I will get you whatever you want. As long as you can be happy and as long as you can get better early, I can give you whatever you want.”

Stella bit her lips and her eyes instantly drowned in tears.

Looking at Stella with tears in her eyes, Joseph suddenly thought of Isabella.

Stella and Isabella’s faces gradually overlapped. Joseph shook his head and reached out to wipe the tears in Stella’s eyes. He said softly, “Stella, are you afraid again? Are you still thinking about what happened that day? Don’t worry... I promise everything is okay. From now on, I will protect you and not let anyone hurt you again.”

“Joseph, I am indeed afraid.”

Stella choked out a reply. Tears poured down his cheeks when she looked at Joseph. “But what I am afraid of is not what happened that day. Instead, I’m afraid of...”
