Chapter 353

353 Charlie Finds Out

His coldness made Isabella’s heart tremble.

Joseph threw the cigar on the ground and stomped on it a few times before opening the car door and getting into the car.

“Joseph...”

Isabella felt that Joseph was a little scary. Furthermore, his face was covered in wounds, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She felt that she should say something and took a step forward. However, Joseph had stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Cedric watched as Isabella chased after Joseph for two steps and his eyes turned dark. “Isabella, let’s go back.”

“Alright.”

Isabella walked back and returned upstairs with Cedric.

The bedroom of the huge apartment used to be filled with many antiques.

Now there was a small pink bed in it.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

.....

Cedric took out the female pajamas and other stuff from the cabinet and placed them on the bed. “Isabella, you can sleep here tonight.”

Isabella touched the soft bed. “Cedric, did you buy it for me today?”

Cedric nodded and said, “Your classmate’s place is too small. I hope you can still live here. At least, it’s quiet and safe.”

Isabella looked at the wound on Cedric’s face and asked, “Your face...”

Cedric was stunned. He touched his face and mocked himself, “I was looking for you after you left. I forgot to take care of it.”

Then he said, “But it doesn’t matter. It’s just a small wound. I’ll take care of it later.”

Cedric left the room and said softly, “Isabella, don’t think about anything today. Rest well.”

The door was about to close. Isabella stood up. “Cedric, I’ll help you treat the wound on your face first.”

...

The black Rolls-Royce ran back to the Wilson Manor.

Joseph returned to his room and closed the door. He took out a bottle of alcohol from the cabinet, poured himself a cup, and finished it. Then he poured another cup and drank it up again.

He didn’t stop until he finished half of the bottle.

At night, the Wilson Manor looked grand and bright.

Joseph took off his coat, leaned against the sofa, and took out his phone.

Joseph carefully looked at Isabella’s photos on the phone.

Isabella was very beautiful and she liked to laugh. In almost all of the photos, she looked sunny and charming.

She was wearing a bikini in Tears of Blue Mirror. She used to cosplay, which was adorable. She was stunning on the stage. She always looked elegant and smiled very brightly.

She often cried and looked wronged. Her stepfather took advantage of her to gain profits, but she could still smile so brightly.

She was always so positive.

Perhaps because of her unique quality, she could reach her position today. She didn’t break down. She wasn’t beaten up by fate.

Joseph recalled the scene in the club a month ago.

Joseph thought of Isabella’s shrewd look and couldn’t help but smile.

He always felt that he didn’t love Isabella.

He liked her beautiful appearance, her good figure, her quirky nature, and her positive attitude, but he never felt that he loved her.

He was very selfish. He felt that love was too heavy. It was a boring thing that could easily make people lose their minds and become stupid. It was enough to have it only once in a lifetime.

He loved Stella once in the past. He almost lost the entire family, but in the end, he still didn’t get anything.

Therefore, he felt that it would be enough to just like Isabella.

He would give her the life she wanted. If they got married in the future, he would learn to be a good husband. He would give her delicious food and fun. She was an interesting person. The two of them complemented each other. Life should be quite interesting.

But if it was love...

Joseph sighed and drank another cup of alcohol.

Isabella always asked him this question. He finally realized that his feelings for her were no longer as simple as “like” when she was kidnapped.

When he thought the girl in the dirty sheets, who had been raped and was in great pain, was Isabella, he felt something unfamiliar.

He wanted to bear the suffering for her and leave the best for her.

The book said that loving someone was willing to live for her, die for her, and sacrifice everything for her.

That was how he had felt back then.

As long as Isabella was willing to forgive what Joseph had done that night and forget that he had hurt her, Joseph was willing to give up anything.

Joseph only hoped that she could be carefree as she was in the past.

Then he recalled what had happened at Cedric’s blind date party.

Joseph thought that he would be furious and cause a scene. He was indeed furious, but after that, he felt frustrated. He didn’t have the strength to cause a scene.

Cedric’s private life was casual. When Joseph went abroad to see Cedric before, different women would appear in Cedric’s apartment. As a man, Cedric was well aware that Cedric was highly attractive to women.

He was worried that Isabella was one of Cedric’s prey.

However, Cedric’s purpose in coming back this time was not to find a girlfriend but to get married and have children.

Cedric was serious this time.

Then what if he really took a fancy to Isabella?

How was this possible? How could Joseph allow this to happen?

Isabella was Joseph’s. He could do whatever he wanted to her, but others couldn’t!

Therefore, Joseph wanted to forcefully take away Isabella, but he did not expect Isabella to refuse.

It was the first time that he felt like he was about to lose Isabella.

Joseph felt that Isabella was smart and cute. Isabella would make a scene and get angry. She would even scold him and hit him. However, she had never left him.

But he didn’t expect that she would be so resistant to him and hate him so much.

Isabella kissed a strange man whom she had just known for two days.

What was going on? Why did Isabella become like this after leaving for only two days? Was it just because of the damn phone call that Stella hung up?

Or could it be that she had always hated him? Now that she had found a new man, she did not want Joseph anymore.

She didn’t need him anymore.

Was she in love with Cedric, who was gentle and considerate?

Was she not coming back?

There was a knock on the door.

Joseph withdrew his messy thoughts. “Who is it?”

“Mr. Joseph, Master Wilson...”

Just as William’s voice sounded from outside, Charlie’s voice also sounded, “Joseph, I know you’re back. Open the door.”
