274 She Gets More Than She Expected
Joseph was so happy to hear Isabella saying this. He held her hand and said, âYou are so nice to me today. I canât believe it. You even cursed me in your sleep last night.â
Isabella blushed.
She glared at Joseph angrily, âI am always a nice person when you donât provoke me!â
âOkay. Stop it.â
Joseph kissed Isabellaâs hand and mocked her with a smile, âNo woman dares to deliberately wipe her nose on me as you did. How audacious you are.â
âI didnât.â
Isabellaâs face turned red. She poked Josephâs chest and said, âI didnât do it on purpose! How many women have you held in your arms? How do you know how they cried?â
âI have several dozens of women before.â
Joseph pinched Isabellaâs nose and said, âIf you arenât mean to me, you will be my only woman from now on.â
.....
âDonât pinch my nose! You are teasing me again!â Isabella struggled.
âIâm fond of teasing you.â Joseph revealed an evil but charming smile, âYou can fight back if you can.â
âJoseph, Iâll kick your ass!â
âYou are threatening me again.â
âJoseph.â
When they were laughing and teasing, Stella called out in a low voice.
Both Joseph and Isabella were surprised.
Joseph immediately put on a gentle smile and looked at her, âStella, be a good girl. Go back to the hospital and get on with your treatment.â
Glancing at Isabella, Stella asked Joseph, âIs she your new girlfriend?â
All three were in embarrassing silence.
Isabella looked at Joseph and was uncertain if he would admit it. She pinched her palm nervously.
âThis is my fiancée, Isabella.â
After pausing briefly, Joseph looked up at Stella and introduced, âStella, Iâm going to get married.â
Two women stared at Joseph at once.
Stella took a step back. She was surprised after hearing this information and looked at Joseph unbelievably.
Isabella was shocked as well.
She hadnât thought that Joseph would admit their relationship. She hoped that he wouldnât deny it. It would break her heart if he denied it. To her surprise, Joseph was so straightforward.
He told Stella that Isabella was his fiancée and they were going to get married.
Fiancée and girlfriend were two different identities.
Isabella was moved and almost to tears.
She had gotten more than expected.
Suddenly, she felt very happy.
âWhat are you looking at? Say hello to Stella.â
Joseph tugged at Isabella and reminded her, âAre you a retard? Whatâs on your mind?â
Joseph was still a mean and arrogant guy.
But Isabella thought that he was agreeable.
Therefore, she immediately bowed and extended her hand, saying excitedly, âHello, Miss Bell. Iâm Isabella. I am your fan. I adore you very much and admire you!â
Stella was shocked and looked at Isabella unbelievably.
Instead of reaching out her hand, she turned to Joseph and asked, âWhen did you guys get together?â
Joseph looked at Stella, âIt was about one month ago.â
âAnd you are going to get married since you have known each other for only one month?â Stella asked in disbelief.
Joseph held Isabella, who was still reaching out her hand, into his arms. He looked at Stella and said, âMaybe itâs fate that brought us together.â
Joseph continued, âI wanted to kill her when I first met her. We got started off the wrong foot. But I want to spend the rest of my life with her now.â
Hearing this, Isabella happily punched Joseph and complained, âYou did want to kill me. How evil you are.â
Joseph lovingly flicked her head.
Stella suddenly burst into tears.
Isabella was stunned.
It turned out that Stella still had feelings for Joseph.
It seemed that Joseph was moved as well. He released Isabella and said, âStella.â
âIâm fine. Iâm happy for you.â
Stella wiped off her tears and smiled. She looked at Isabella with swollen eyes, âShe is beautiful, Joseph. How lucky you are. I let you down before. I am glad to see that you are happy.â
Isabella felt that it was strange. She glanced at Joseph, who was silent but looked seriously.
âI can go back by myself. Gerry, please drive them back.â
Stella nodded and staggered towards her pink sports car. Joseph followed her and extended his hand, âStella.â
âIâm okay. Iâm sure that Iâm fine.â
Stella opened the car door. She brushed her long hair, bit her lips, and took a glance at Joseph before getting into the car.
She drove the pink sports car off. Isabella saw that Joseph put down his hand after pausing for quite a while.
Isabella felt upset somehow.
On their way back, Joseph was silent. Isabella suggested, âDarling, letâs dine out, okay?â
Joseph collected himself. He rubbed Isabellaâs head lovingly and asked, âWhat would you like to have?â
âEverything will do.â
Isabella shook her leg and replied excitingly, âLetâs have some seafood. I had some at lunch and they were quite good. I think that you also love seafood. Letâs have some. What do say?â
Joseph nodded and spoke to Gerry, âGerry, drive us to the best seafood restaurant nearby.â
âYes!â
Looking at Josephâs expression, Isabella suddenly stopped her smile.
Joseph was very supportive today. However, she had noticed that he became different after seeing Stella weeping.
After Stella left, he remained silent and looked lonely. It was rare.
Isabella thought it over and timidly asked, âStella still loves you, doesnât she?â
Joseph sharply stared at her.
âRelax!â
Isabella hurriedly explained, âIâm not jealous and Iâm not going to speak ill of her behind her back. I just...â
After thinking it over, Isabella continued, âShe looked so desperate when seeing us together.â
Josephâs eyes darkened, âWe wonât be together.â
Josephâs face was cold and looked aloof. Isabella could tell that he was depressed. She bit her lips and said, âJoseph, letâs be frank. If you canât forget Stella, and she is still deep in love with you. Elope with her. You are rich enough. You can transfer part of your assets before they are frozen by Charlie. You two can go abroad and change your names. You donât have to be tortured like this.â
Joseph frowned and looked at Isabella, âWhat are you talking about?â
