Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife-Chapter 395
395 Believe Me!
Isabella lowered her head.
The dancing was over.
Isabella lifted her skirt and made a perfect exit salute before she stretched out her hand and said, “Cedric, give me that information.”
Noticing that Isabella was constantly looking at Joseph, Cedric smiled as he took out a small envelope from his pocket and handed it to Isabella while saying, “Thank you for dancing with me tonight.”
Isabella nodded and took the envelope before leaving.
Just at that time, Cedric suddenly grabbed Isabella’s hands and held her in his arms. He held her face and gave her a gentle kiss. Isabella immediately pushed him away and she said angrily, “Cedric, stop it!”
Cedric gave a meaningful smile and explained. “It’s just a farewell gift. Don’t be so angry.”
Cedric turned around and left.
Joseph didn’t leave. Instead, he stood outside the dance floor and watched Cedric and Isabella with a cigar in his hand.
.....
Cedric walked toward Joseph and intentionally brushed past him, saying, “The opening dance is over. She is yours now.”
Joseph suddenly grabbed Cedric by the collar. Cedric didn’t react at all and only smiled and said, “Joseph, if you think a fight can solve the problem, then I want to fight with you. However, don’t be too arrogant. No one can decide Isabella’s choice. Although she likes you more, she is still hesitating, isn’t she?”
Joseph furrowed his brows and loosened his grip on Cedric’s collar.
Cedric smiled as he adjusted his tie and left.
Joseph looked at Isabella, who was running towards them with her skirt lifted. Joseph threw away his cigar and turned around. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
“Joseph!
“Can you hear my explanation first?” Isabella ran up quickly and shouted.
“Yes.”
Joseph did not stop and replied gently, but he looked as cold as ice.
Isabella explained, “When I was in contact with Cedric, I asked him to help me investigate the bombing at Slike’s Restaurant.” Isabella was wearing high heels and couldn’t keep up with Joseph. However, she still followed him quickly and added, “Later, I found out that there was indeed something wrong with the blueprint that Carl designed for my father back then. However, Cedric has all the evidence.”
Joseph finally stopped and Isabella ran into him.
“So Cedric proposed that only you dance with him would he give you the evidence, right?” Joseph asked.
Isabella nodded vigorously. She raised the envelope high up in her hand and panted, “Look at this, all the evidence I want is here. With this, I can consult the lawyer before suing Carl to seek justice for my father. The bombing was not a coincidence, but a murder!”
Joseph turned around and looked at Isabella in silence. He lowered his head and asked, “Then why did you meet Cedric in such a hidden place?”
“Listen.”
Isabella hurriedly explained, “Someone gave me a bookmark before, saying that it would bring me good luck. I just felt that it was fate that made me want to go over and thank him, but I did not find him. All in all, I wasn’t looking for Cedric at first. I just thought that I saw an acquaintance and wanted to go over and greet him. However, I did not see that acquaintance but saw Cedric.”
Joseph was silent.
“Joseph, think about it.”
“If I liked Cedric, I wouldn’t have agreed to marry you, right? If I wanted to have a romantic relationship with him, I wouldn’t have asked you to dance with me, right? I am not stupid. There is no need for me to cheat on you in front of you. I just want a sweet home, a man who loves me, and a happy life. I don’t want to prove my charm at all. In this world, I just want you to be my man.”
Isabella pulled Joseph’s clothes as if he would run away. She added, “To find evidence of my father’s murder, I wasted a lot of effort. That information is really important to me. Cedric helped me a lot before, probably because he likes me. But now that I’m with you, Cedric is unwilling to help me, except for dancing with him. Joseph, I promise you that I won’t do the same thing anymore. I’m not a promiscuous woman. Believe me! You have to believe me!”
Joseph looked at Isabella’s flustered appearance as she spoke incoherently as if she wanted to tell him all she could think of. Then, without waiting for Isabella to finish, Joseph hugged her gently and kissed her.
Isabella was so shocked that her body trembled.
Then, Isabella immediately hugged Joseph and responded to his kiss. Tears flowed down her face as she mumbled, “Joseph, I am sorry...”
“I never said I didn’t believe you,” Joseph replied.
Joseph hugged Isabella in his arms and whispered, “Although we haven’t known each other for a long time, I understand you very well. You are an innocent girl who would rather think about what to eat than think about how to fool around with two men.”
Isabella broke into a smile through her tears, but she was even more touched as she cried, “Joseph, you know me well.”
Joseph lifted his eyes and looked at Isabella’s lips. He stretched out his hand and wiped it hard as if he could wipe off the marks that belonged to Cedric. Joseph said, “In fact, when I saw the way you looked at me, your actions, everything you did... I knew that everything you do has reasons, but I still could not accept you dancing with another man.”
Joseph hugged Isabella and said emotionally, “That feeling was as if it was something that belonged to me, but it was touched by someone else. It made me angry. Isabella, I am scared that I will lose you. I am very worried that you would like Cedric. Rather than saying that I was angry with you just now, it would be better to say that I was angry with myself.”
Isabella was moved to tears. “Of course not. I love you the most. Joseph, thank you.”
“You investigate the truth alone, and do things that you are unwilling to do to get back evidence...” Joseph said.
Joseph rubbed Isabella’s head, “Isabella, from now on, let me deal with it for you, okay? Don’t do things that go against your thoughts because of such problems, okay?”
Isabella clutched Joseph’s suit and sobbed, “I won’t do it again. I’m so scared that you think I’m a promiscuous woman. I’m so scared that you don’t love me anymore. Joseph, let’s be together forever. In the future, even when you go to see Mr. Richard, I will be with you. I won’t leave you anymore.” 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
Joseph’s eyes darkened and he lowered his head to kiss Isabella again. “Alright, Isabella, from now on, you belong to me. We will never be part again...”
