228 You Can Only Play With Me
Isabella was stunned. âYou are siblings! How can you say that to her?â
Joseph was stubborn. âSo what? This manor belongs to me currently. If she were not my sister, do you think she would have the qualifications to enter this place? I am the heir to the Wilson Consortium and Iâm the ruler here!â
Isabella looked at Josephâs stubborn expression and carefully said, âI heard what happened between you and Angelina. She might be inconsiderate at that time, but...â
Isabella suddenly noticed that there was a clear look of hatred in Josephâs eyes.
She didnât dare to say anything else. She wanted to pull her hand out, but Joseph grabbed her hand even harder and said in a hoarse voice, âForget it, let me take a look at your photo.â
Isabella suddenly realized that she knew little about Joseph.
He was high-spirited, aloof, and arrogant. He controlled many enterprises and was powerful in Peace City. When he was in a good mood, he was as gentle as water. When he had a bad temper, he was furious...
However, she had known him and lived with him for nearly a month. She had started to like him and had even considered marrying him as Charlie considered. But she still knew little about him.
What she knew about him was the same as what other people thought about him.
.....
As a celebrity with the label of âthe heir of the consortiumâ, he was always mysterious in the magazine and Isabella did not understand his emotions at all.
Isabella hesitated and handed over the photo of Slike. She was not sure if her visit tonight was a wrong decision.
Joseph lowered his eyes and looked at the photo seriously. His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotion inside.
Isabella carefully introduced, âThe child in the middle is me. This is the only photo of my childhood. I donât have any of the previous photos.â
Joseph let go of her hand and pulled her into his embrace.
Isabella sat on his lap.
âItâs very cute...â Joseph whispered, âIf we had a child, it would probably be like this.â
Isabellaâs heart skipped a beat.
A child...
What a yearning...
It seemed that even if she had said something outrageous, Joseph was still willing to marry her. Isabella felt her face start to warm up again...
âIs this man your father?â
Joseph didnât notice Isabellaâs strange behavior at all. He pointed at the photo and asked.
âYes, handsome, right?â Isabella immediately came back to her senses.
âYes.â Joseph commented, âYour parents look pretty good.â
Isabella was a little proud. âSo Iâm quite cute too!â
â ... Donât use the word cute anymore!â
âAre you still thinking about my cat-lady costume? Okay, I wonât say it. Donât stare at me.â
âWere Slike and Carl friends or partners? Thereâs Carl in this photo. Did he design your fatherâs restaurant?â Joseph asked doubtfully.
âI heard from my mother that they were good friends in the past. But I donât know if the restaurant was designed by him. After all, when the accident happened, I was only 4 or 5 years old.â
Joseph said casually, âThen did he marry your mother because he liked her a long time ago, or was it just to take care of his friendâs wife?â
Isabella was stunned. Suddenly, a strange feeling spread in her heart.
âAlright, Iâm done.â
Joseph patted Isabellaâs back. âYou can go now.â
Joseph, who had always liked to pester her, was completely uninterested in her today.
Isabella slid down Josephâs leg with the photo in her hand. When she reached the door, she thought about it and said, âActually, it is not shameful to like cute things. Our teacher in the class said that everyoneâs interest is different. Although you are an adult man, it is Okay to like pink things! I wonât look down on you!â
Joseph coughed fiercely.
Joseph picked up his coffee and was drinking it. When he heard this, he coughed and looked at Isabella in disbelief. âNonsense!â
âI know that this is personal privacy and it is a little embarrassing to be discovered. I wonât tell anyone!
âI still have a box of fun things I want to play with you. Since you donât want to face your heart, then forget it.â
âWait! Isabella!â Joseph said.
Isabella turned around and looked at Joseph kindly.
Joseph sighed. âWhat fun things? Letâs play together.â
Isabella immediately revealed a smile of pleasant surprise.
One minute later, Joseph looked at all kinds of âtoysâ in the exquisite violet box in front of him. He was speechless.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Isabella stretched out her hand and flipped through the contents. âDonât tell me you donât know how to play?â
Joseph didnât say anything.
Joseph closed the box and looked at Isabella thoughtfully. âThis is what Angelina gave you?â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Isabella pouted. âDonât blame her.â
Then she picked up the box. âIf you donât want to play, then forget it. Iâll find someone else to play with me!â
âIsabella!â
When Joseph saw Isabella turn around and leave, he slammed the table in anger.
Isabella shrunk in fear and said blankly, âWhatâs wrong ... Why are you suddenly angry again...â
Joseph rubbed his forehead and sighed. âYou can only play with me...â
âWhy?â
âForget it, I didnât have such a hobby.â
Joseph raised his head and looked at Isabella. He looked calm. âSince you want to try, then go back to your room and wait for me. Iâll find a video to teach you how to play.â
âYes! Iâm going back! Hurry up!â Isabella was surprised.
Joseph reminded loudly, âDonât forget to take a bath!â
âI wonât forget!â
The door closed and Joseph frowned. âIs she pretending to be ignorant because of embarrassment?â
Isabella returned to her room to take a shower and respectfully placed Slikeâs photo on the table.
âDear handsome daddy, please tell me, is Joseph starting to like me?â
Isabella lay on the table and poked Slikeâs photo with her finger. She contemplated, âBless me, please. I just got out of the misery. I want to be happy this time.â
Isabella kissed the photo and put it down. She shifted her gaze to Carlâs face on the edge of the photo...
