440 It Is In Time
“Did Isabella contradict you?”
Cedric turned her eyes to Joseph with a strange expression and then suddenly let out a weird laugh. “Isabella finally knows how to go against you and learn something new about you. Very good, very good. As expected, the woman I love is so easy to understand!”
“Learn something new about me?” Joseph narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”
“Joseph, look, Isabella may have considered being with you, but you two have not gotten married. It couldn’t be said that someone bullies a friend’s wife.”
Cedric kept calm with a look of pleasure. “She has the right to regret if she isn’t married. She can also choose rationally!”
...
Waking up in the morning, Isabella felt pain and discomfort all over her body. She found that Joseph had long left when she turned around.
Isabella gazed at the traces of devastation on her body with a hint of sadness in her eyes. Soon, she put on her clothes and went downstairs.
“Ms. Isabella.”
.....
William stood in the living room and greeted her with a smile as usual, but after glancing at her, he hesitated for a few seconds and then decided not to say those words that had reached his throat.
Isabella adjusted her collar and forced an awkward smile. “What’s wrong, William?”
He thought for a moment. “Mr. Joseph said that he won’t be back for the next few days.”
Isabella was dumbfounded.
After pondering for a while, William added, “He left at three o’clock in the morning and said he needed to calm himself down for a while.”
Tears were welling up in Isabella’s eyes when she heard this and lowered her head. Joseph was very disappointed with her and left after venting his anger. Obviously, he didn’t want to see her for now.
“I heard that when Mr. Joseph left last night...” William hesitated for a while, “He went to Doctor Morris to inject a sedative. Are you okay?”
Isabella wiped away her tears, trying to calm down. “I’m fine. Maybe there was a misunderstanding yesterday that made him unhappy. I’ll call him later to explain it.”
William said awkwardly, “Mr. Joseph won’t answer anyone’s call. He doesn’t want anyone to disturb him.”
Isabella’s lips trembled silently.
“Did Mr. Joseph hurt you last night?”
William thought for a while and then explained, “Mr. Joseph will rage when anyone talks about his biological mother. He may have heard Mr. Michael and the others talk about his mother yesterday, so he lost his temper. In short, I will tell Master Wilson to come back and apologize immediately!”
“No.”
William had already turned around, but Isabella stopped him and thought for a few seconds before adding, “It’s actually good for us to calm down.”
William blinked his eyes. When he saw Isabella was about to go out, he hurriedly said, “Ms. Isabella, aren’t you eating?”
She shook her head. “It’s okay. I’m not hungry. I’ll go out for a walk.”
“Wait a moment. I will immediately send a car and ask someone to follow you!”
“No. I also want to be alone for a while.” Isabella replied as she opened the door.
William immediately nodded, “Okay.”
After walking out of the Wilson Manor, Isabella wandered on the road.
Joseph would stay outside for a few days, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone. Of course, it included her.
Joseph was angry, but she was also extremely disappointed.
Because of the chain reaction caused by Stella’s pregnancy, everything had become far more complicated and serious than she had imagined. Since everything came to this point, Isabella had fallen into a dilemma about whether she should say it or not. However, what was even more terrifying was that she might not even have the chance to say it.
Stella’s pregnancy made Isabella recognize the other side of Joseph. He was violent, distrustful, and cruel.
There was a lack of tacit understanding and trust that a real husband and wife should have between Isabella and Joseph. Both of them had ulterior motives.
Isabella suddenly felt very tired.
Ring!
Her phone rang. Isabella glanced at Jane’s name on the phone screen. She calmed down a little before answering it. “Hello, Jane.”
“I heard from David that you went to catch the adulterers yesterday.”
Jane was applying a face mask and getting a manicure when she asked casually, “What was the result? Did you find them? Did Mr. Joseph gently explain to you or kneel and beg for mercy with regret? Did he directly have passionate sex with you to prove his passionate love for you?”
Hearing this, Isabella fell silent for a while. “On the contrary, Joseph said that he needed to calm down outside for a few days. We might... not be suitable to be together. Our marriage is too rushed because we don’t know each other well enough. After all, we only met more than a month ago. Maybe this kind of flash marriage... Life is very long. There is not only happiness...”
Jane immediately took off the mask and jumped up. “Isabella, what are you talking about? Why did he need to calm down for a few days? God damn it. You should be the one who should calm down!”
Isabella paused for a moment. “Maybe he is also thinking about whether we should get married so soon.”
She lowered her head and added, “Maybe I want too much in addition to the perfect love. Maybe a wealthy, single, handsome man is just a delusion. I used to think that Joseph and I were enemies. However, we wouldn’t get to know each other if we had not fought. It was filled with fate. Although he was a dude, I felt that everything was good when I fell in love with him. In fact, we don’t have a tacit understanding or trust in each other. We are both childish in love.”
Jane frowned after listening to Isabella’s painful expression. “Isabella, how did you admit your failure so quickly? Look, did Joseph admit that he had a child with Stella?”
Isabella shook her head. “No, the two of them were angry last night. I didn’t ask him, nor did he say anything. He knew that I had met Cedric before. I was very disappointed in his distrust because he only vented his anger to me.”
“Isabella...”
Jane sighed. “Who is Joseph? He is a handsome boy from a wealthy family without a bald head. The rarest thing is that he is still young and has a bright future. It is hard to find such a good man in a thousand years. Can’t you take a step back and give in first? You won’t lose anything. Men are all children. Everything will be okay if you coax him!”
Isabella immediately retorted, “He lied to me first! I saw him and Stella go to the women and children hospital. However, he told me that he had been working all day. He regarded me as a fool and made another woman pregnant. I didn’t do anything to him, but he hurt me when he knew that I was with Cedric!”
Jane showed a smile of utter contempt. “How did he hurt you? Did he hit you, or scold you? If he did, you must leave him right now. A man will not stop his violence once he starts. If he hit you once, he could hit you for the rest of your life. If he only scolded you, he was jealous. It means that he is a cute and pure man.”
