Chapter 242: Chapter 242

242 He Is Her Warm Harbor

Isabella’s tears flowed down from her face. She said with a grievance, “No! I won’t get up unless you forgive me!”

Joseph frowned, “Are you making a scene in such a place? Get up! Or I’ll leave alone!”

Hearing this, Isabella stood up at once and leaned against Joseph, clutching his collar tightly, afraid that he would leave her.

Joseph sighed helplessly, “I won’t forgive you easily. It’s dangerous here. We’ll go back first and settle the score later.”

Isabella pointed pitifully at her knees, “I’m hurt, darling.”

Joseph frowned and looked down. Before he could see clearly, Isabella hung on his back like a monkey. She took his umbrella and frowned with a wronged expression, “Darling, you carry me, I’ll hold the umbrella ...”

“...”

Isabella was indeed good at pinching Joseph’s heel.

She had long since seen through that Joseph was a person who was cold outside, but passionate inside. Though being cold and aloof, he would yield to a soft approach but reject force.

.....

Since he was cold as steel, she could only be the hot flame.

Joseph got speechless by Isabella. He dazedly held Isabella’s legs and slowly walked forward.

Isabella, who was lying on Joseph’s back, could not help but laugh.

At such a stormy night and in such a strange and dark environment, Isabella, who had always been spineless, was not afraid at all. Because the man she was relying on was her future husband, her warm harbor.

Fate was wonderful.

Joseph was a financial elite who can only be seen in newspapers, a great businessman who was of great influence a month ago.

But now he was the cute man who would become her husband and give her security.

A month ago, when they faced each other, they would quarrel about trivial things.

But now he lowed himself down and forgot being a young master to carry her on his back, walking in the mud.

Isabella had a subtle feeling.

“Why are you laughing?”

Joseph asked her.

Because Joseph usually exercises, even if he carried a person on a muddy road, he didn’t breathe heavily.

Isabella wrapped her arms around Joseph’s neck and said, “Because I feel very happy. I feel very comfortable with Mr. Joseph carrying me.”

“Bullshit, isn’t it because I didn’t blame you?”

Joseph said coldly, “I’ve told you that I’ll settle this when we get back!”

“Alright! Alright!”

Isabella gently bit Joseph’s earlobe. Joseph trembled, “Isabella, behave yourself!”

Isabella suddenly felt that Joseph was a little cute. She deliberately rubbed his body and teased him, “Why?”

Joseph suddenly stopped.

Isabella was shocked, “OK, I won’t fidget anymore!”

Joseph didn’t reply. He looked forward with solemnity, “Isabella, we might be lost.”

“... What?”

Isabella had been focusing on Joseph’s forgiving him, so she didn’t notice the direction. After hearing what Joseph had said, she found that in front of them was a junction of three roads.

What was even worse was that she didn’t know any of them.

“We can look for footprints!”

Isabella panicked, “Perhaps we should go back the way we came and stay at Uncle Wesley’s house tonight!”

“It’s raining so heavily. Where are the footprints? I’m afraid we can’t go back because I don’t even know where we are now.”

“So why did you keep walking?”

“Wasn’t it because of your noise that affected my direction-sense?”

Isabella felt helpless, “What are we going to do now?”

Joseph said in a heavy tone, “There’s a cave nearby. We’ll go there to take shelter from the storm.”

“... What? A cave?”

A few minutes later, Isabella couldn’t be happy at all while sitting in the damp cave. She grabbed Joseph’s clothes and trembled, “What should we do now?”

Joseph looked at her pitiful appearance, the corner of his eyes flashed across ridicule. “Wait here. I’ll go outside to get access to the signal and call someone to find us.”

“I’ll go with you!”

“Aren’t you injured?”

Joseph took off his coat and put it on Isabella. He said gently, “Just stay here. I will be back soon.”

“I’m fine! Don’t leave me here alone!”

Isabella held onto Joseph tightly.

“I’ll just be at the cave mouth.”

Joseph brushed off Isabella’s hand, “It’s too troublesome for you to follow me. You also want to go back early, right?”

Isabella pursed her lips and slowly let go of Joseph’s clothes.

Joseph rubbed her head and smiled mischievously, “Be good and stay here.”

Then he walked out alone with his phone.

Watching him leave, Joseph felt very uncomfortable. He called out softly, “Joseph, wait!”

However, Joseph already disappeared from the cave mouth.

Joseph walked out of the cave and made a smooth turn. In front of him were four neat Hummer cars.

Gerry immediately stepped forward, “Mr. Joseph, did you find Miss Isabella?”

“Of course I found her, she was with Lukas.”

Joseph sneered, “I left her in the cave beside the house to scare her, otherwise, I can’t recover from my anger.”

“...”

Gerry looked at Joseph, speechless. Joseph would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

“It’s not good to leave her there alone so late, right?” Gerry advised, “It might be dangerous.”

“When I was a child, my grandfather sent me here to learn the outdoor survival from the coach. I was very familiar with here.”

Joseph lit up a cigarette and said proudly, “There are no beasts nearby. That cave is a bomb shelter, there is nothing dangerous.”

After a while, Joseph checked the time and smiled, returning to the cave.

However, Isabella was gone.

Joseph suddenly panicked.

“Isabella!”

Joseph looked for her with the phone light, “Where are you? Answer me! If you don’t come out, I’ll leave right now!”

The only reply he received was an empty echo.

Joseph suddenly regretted leaving her here alone.

He was confident that Isabella couldn’t be hurt by beasts, but what if there were bad people?

What if a man who lived in the mountain and hadn’t seen much of the world came to this cave to take shelter and saw a beautiful girl ...

Joseph stopped surmising. He quickly ran out of the cave, wanting to ask his subordinates to find her. He looked up and suddenly saw a bright light on the big rock at the top of the hill. Joseph rushed over without any consideration.

“Joseph!”

It was Isabella who was holding an umbrella, and the light was from the phone screen in her hand. When she saw Joseph, she jumped down from the rock at once and rushed to him happily.
