BURNING LOVE CUTE HUSBAND AND HIS LITTLE WIFE - Chapter 352

352 Go Crazy

The agent thought for a moment, then took out a small wine bottle from her bag, and handed it to Stella. “Honey, you’re still in recovery. Don’t drink too much. Don’t hurt yourself. After all, you have made it this far. It’s more than normal that Joseph didn’t accept you. But don’t you fret. If he really wanted to marry a woman, why did he wait for you to come back and do it? He just wanted to make you envy and regret. Men are all like this. They need pride. Don’t let it weigh on your mind.”

Stella shook her head and swigged a mouthful of wine. She smiled bitterly, “No … I’ve known Joseph for so many years. It’s different this time. He really wasn’t pretending.”

“Don’t be spiraling.”

“He rarely smiled before.”

Stella tugged at her long hair as if she remembered something beautiful. “Ever since his mother passed away, he seldom smiled. He was always so cool and standoffish. When he was with me, he softened up a bit, but…”

“But what?”

“But when he was with Isabella, he was bossy. That was how he acted before his mother died. He was a little overbearing, a little playful, and a little childish. That was the real him under the mask….”

The agent looked at Stella’s contorted face and was dumbfounded. Then, she gave a smile and said, “Honey, you are thinking too much. No one will estrange the person they love. That Isabella was simply too shameless. She pulled dirty tricks and stole your man. Who does she think she is?”

“That’s right, she’s nobody. Joseph clearly loves me more. Even if I do something wrong, he will forgive me. He has always been my gallant knight.”

…..

Stella bit her lips. She suddenly thought of Joseph’s bright smile on that day when she saw him “bullying” Isabella. Then she covered her face and cried.

“Honey, calm down!”

“No!”

Stella’s sob quickly turned into a wail. She threw the wine bottle onto the wall opposite her and roared, “No one can steal Joseph away from me! We have parted for so many years! I will not let anyone rob our happiness!”

…

In Jane’s condo, from the tenement near Richmond Arts University.

Isabella’s heart was racing after she heard Cedric’s confession.

It turned out that Cedric really liked her, not only because he pitied her, or because he knew her when she was a child, but because he truly wanted to protect her.

He said he loved her, the kind of love when a man wooed a woman, the kind of love that was pure and unique.

Isabella hesitated. She really did.

The domineering and brazen-faced Joseph, who made her feel safe, or the gentle and thoughtful Cedric, which man should she entrust her miserable life to?

“Jayden, can you be gentler?”

Isabella knitted her brows while Cedric was peering at her affectionately. Jane’s voice suddenly brought both of them back to their senses.

Cedric stared blankly in the direction of the door. “Is there anyone else living here?”

Isabella’s face instantly turned red. “It’s actually my friend’s place.”

Cedric came to a realization. “I remember now. You said before that you went to live with a friend. This is the place, right? I thought you borrowed it. Does … she have a boyfriend?”

Isabella was embarrassed. “Um … Mr. Jayden just had dinner here.”

Cedric nodded pensively. “If I had known that Mr. Jayden was here for dinner, I would have come up and joined the dinner.”

“So, you were downstairs all this time…?”

Cedric thought for a moment. “It’s getting late. Let’s go to my place.”

Isabella immediately shook her head. “No, no, no. I’ve already told Jane that I would live here tonight.”

Cedric looked around. “There seems to be only one bedroom.”

Isabella patted the sofa under her butt and answered, “I sleep here.”

“Yes!” All of a sudden, Jayden’s playful laughter came through the door and echoed in the living room. “Hurry up and beg for mercy! You little siren!”

Cedric frowned and glanced at the reddened Isabella. “Are you sure that you can sleep while listening to this?”

Isabella nodded. “It’s fine.”

Jane’s holler followed. “Isabella! You’re back, right? Come in and play with us!”

Cedric’s face darkened. He stood up and pulled Isabella, a little angry. “Go to my place!”

“Cedric…”

Isabella peeked at Jane’s room and yelled awkwardly, “Jane! I’m going to Cedric’s place tonight! Don’t worry about me!”

Then, she was dragged out of the condo.

“What?”

Jane trotted out of the room and noticed the shut door. She held the electromagnetic massage equipment and said sadly, “Why did she leave? I just wanted to let her try it.”

Jayden poked his head out and said, “Don’t worry. Cedric won’t do anything to Isabella. Let’s keep playing this. The next grade is more exciting. Let’s see who will capitulate first.”

Isabella was stuffed into the car, and the black Bentley hurtled back to Golden Apartment.

Because they left in a hurry, Isabella didn’t have time to put any clothes on. After Cedric got out of the car, he took off his coat and draped it over Isabella. Isabella nodded. “Thank you, Cedric.”

Cedric wrapped Isabella around with the coat and said seriously, “Isabella, you have to learn to accept our current relationship. I promise to give you time and hope that you can be fair to me. We will inure ourselves to each other’s living style first. Only then can you make a decision.”

Isabella thought about it and nodded. Cedric kissed her forehead.

Isabella closed her eyes and did not refuse.

Then, Cedric extended his arm over her back, and they trundled towards the entrance.

As he turned around, he met Joseph’s smoldering eyes.

He stood alone by the car with his long legs propped up. He wore a black casual suit and pinched a cigar in his hand. Because he was standing in the dark and the car and clothes were all black, Isabella and Cedric did not notice Joseph at not, nor expect Joseph to be there.

The two of them stood, transfixed.

When Isabella saw Joseph staring straight at Cedric’s hand that was perching on her hips, she mused for a while and was afraid that they might start a fight, so she asked first, “Joseph, why are you here?”

Joseph just snorted.

To her surprise, Joseph wasn’t competitive or hostile as he was being during the day. However, in the next moment, a trace of contempt and indifference flashed in his eyes, cold like an iceberg.
