450 Affection
Joseph pinched Isabella’s mouth. “You have bad taste.”
Isabella rolled her eyes. “Aunt Melany said that I am vulgar. Is that how you feel about me, too? Do you think I am a gold digger and I have bad taste?”
“Yes, you’re right.”
Isabella pouted sadly and glared at Joseph.
Joseph laughed and pinched Isabella’s cheek. “But I love you. I love you anyway. What did you buy with my card today?”
“Do you want to check your accounts?”
“I’m just curious about what you bought.”
Isabella counted her fingers carefully. “I bought the entrance ticket for the amusement park because I promised Jane to invite her and the others to the amusement park. Then, I ate ten different flavors of ice cream balls. I treated them to seafood and other snacks. The sightseeing restaurant on the top floor of the amusement park is a Thai restaurant. I invited them to eat in this restaurant. Although the dishes are exquisite, they are terrible. By the way, I bought souvenirs. It looks like a little devil. I’ll show you later.”
Joseph listened carefully and frowned. “How dare you do that?”
.....
Isabella was surprised. “Did I overcharge your card? I was very angry at that time, so I didn’t care about the price! I just wanted to wind you up. I shouldn’t have done this!”
“I mean, do you want to overwork your stomach? When you swiped my card, I received message prompts, but you only spent a few thousand. You have bad taste. You should buy two houses or two cars, then I may be angry.”
Isabella paused for a moment and immediately laughed. “I am rich now. As long as I want, I can buy a house and a car without scruple!”
Then Isabella hugged Joseph. “I don’t have economic sense. Other women want a lot of things, but I’m just a foodie. So you can’t abandon me.”
Joseph smiled. “How would I dare to abandon you? If we were to divorce, you would take half of my property.”
“I would take half of your property...”
Isabella thought for a moment and said, “Joseph, let’s plan our future. How many children do you want?”
“What?”
Isabella looked at the sky and let Joseph lie beside her.
Then Isabella put a foot on Joseph’s waist and happily imagined their future. “When we have a baby, the girl’s nickname will be Isabel and the boy’s nickname will be Jose.”
“It doesn’t sound good at all. How can a boy be called this? And I don’t want children.”
“Why? When we have children, we will have a real home.” Isabella looked up at the sky and recalled with her eyes closed. “I always like being with my family. My parents are very affectionate and they have never quarreled. Every time my mother was angry, my father would make my mother happy. I think I’m very happy.”
“But I dislike children crawling around on the ground.”
Joseph frowned and hugged Isabella. “When women give birth to children, they all focus on taking care of their children. I think this kind of life is boring. Having children doesn’t improve the quality of life. On the contrary, I’ll feel upset.”
“But I like children. When John was young, he was cute and I liked to play with him,” Isabella said with her head askew.
Joseph looked at Isabella and thought for a while. Then, he said seriously, “We can only have one child in five years at most. You should promise me to let the nanny take care of our kid, and we will travel as soon as we are free. I don’t want to waste too much time looking after our kid. When he grows up, I’ll send him to a boarding school abroad.”
Isabella looked at Joseph and laughed. “You are too ruthless to our child.”
Joseph said seriously, “I said I don’t like children.”
Isabella finally could not help but burst out laughing.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I think you are so cute.”
“I’m cute? I don’t like you saying that about me.”
“Why? You are really cute.”
“Forget it. It’s hot. Go row the boat. It will be cooler if there is wind.”
“You asked me to row the boat? Why don’t you do it? You are a man and it was you who brought me to the boat to propose to me.”
“I’ve been preparing for a long time to propose to you. I’m so tired now. Now that you have agreed to my proposal, you can’t go back on it. I will now exercise my rights as your husband. Go row the boat.”
“I decline. How dare you treat me like this before we get married?” Then Isabella kicked Joseph.
“Isabella, how dare you kick me?”
“So what? Bite me!”
Then Joseph bit Isabella.
“Joseph, you rascal!”
At this time, Joseph’s cell phone rang.
“Joseph, your phone is ringing.”
“It’s from my grandpa... He must have seen the gossip and thought that Stella and I had a child! Isabella, you have to tell my grandpa the truth!”
“No. I don’t know if you are the father of Stella’s child. I didn’t confront Stella. That’s your version of the story,” Isabella said in disdain.
“Isabella!”
“I won’t tell grandpa the truth. I just want him to hit you!”
“Isabella!”
Under the beautiful night sky, Joseph and Isabella played happily.
Their small boat was filled with the fragrance of flowers and laughter. It led to the brightly lit Peace City. The scenery here was very beautiful. It seemed that they came to a happy paradise...
Early in the morning the next day, Joseph turned over and found that Isabella was gone.
He was surprised and a little flustered. Then he hurried downstairs to find Isabella.
Isabella stood in the kitchen. She cooked while having a heated discussion with the head chef. She looked like a professional cook. The head chef was usually arrogant and serious, but he was very enthusiastic about Isabella today. He was very interested in discussing various dishes with her.
William, who was leaning against the table and smiling, chatted with them from time to time. When he saw Joseph, he immediately stood up straight and smiled respectfully, “Mr. Joseph.”
“Handsome Joseph!”
Isabella immediately put down the kitchen utensils and put her arm around Joseph’s neck. She said with a smile, “Good morning, darling!”
