Chapter 292: Chapter 292

292 Not a Souvenir

Looking at Isabella’s smiling face, Cedric leaned against the door and crossed his arms, his eyes soft. “Alright, I came back late today. I’ll help you make the bed, so you can rest early.”

Isabella was stunned. “Help me make the bed? Are there any other beds?”

“No. I never invite guests to my home, so there is only one bed in the main bedroom.”

Cedric walked to the master bedroom and opened the cabinet. “I think there is a set of light-colored bed sheets here. You girls like light colors, right? I’m used to dark-colored ones.”

Isabella hurriedly said, “Only one bed? I can’t use it! Absolutely not! I can’t take up your bed! I was in a daze last night but I’m sober today. I won’t make the same mistake again!”

Cedric ignored her and tidied up the sheet. “This one is light-colored, but it doesn’t look good. Forget it. We’ll buy some beautiful bed sheets tomorrow.”

Pursing her lips, Isabella picked up a pillow from the bed and withdrew to the door, indicating her determination.

“I can’t let girls sleep on the sofa.”

Cedric stopped and looked at Isabella. “Be good. Sleep on the bed.”

.....

“Cedric, if this is the case, I will feel really sorry.”

Isabella picked up another small blanket. “I am just having a sleepover here. If you can’t have a sound sleep because of me, I will feel very guilty and fail to sleep well. I might as well go to my friend’s place.”

After keeping silent for a while, Cedric smiled resignedly at Isabella’s stubborn expression. “Alright then. You can sleep on the sofa tonight.”

Isabella nodded.

She took the blanket and pillow to the sofa in satisfaction.

Cedric couldn’t help but smile as he looked at Isabella’s back.

Well, since Isabella was so insistent, Cedric wouldn’t turn down her request. Anyway, she would just go with the sofa for a few nights.

For Cedric, buying a bed was a piece of cake.

Cedric just felt unnecessary to do so.

Cedric was planning to confess his love to Isabella three days later. Although the schedule was a little tightened and Isabella might feel rather surprised, Cedric couldn’t wait any longer because Isabella looked at him differently today...

Cedric was sure Isabella’s look had changed.

Isabella’s eyes were filled with appreciation and admiration for an excellent man.

He got it.

In less than three days he could start a romantic relationship with Isabella. Cedric could completely possess her, share meals and sleep with her. They would live a life as a real married couple.

So, what was the point of having an extra bed?

Cedric stroked the bed and suddenly felt that he was quite sinister. But he also felt excited.

Soon, he would have good sex here with Isabella.

He would hug Isabella’s soft and chubby body and kiss her pink lips and ears. Cedric would bite and lick her delicate and beautiful collarbone, making her unable to help but let out a gasp. Then, he would nudge his thing into her unexpectedly and enjoyed her bashful expression.

Cedric would treat her very gently in deep love. He would hold Isabella’s hand and let her feel his passion. Then, he would tell Isabella that he adored her very much ever since the childhood summer night, from the moment he caught a glimpse of her in the moonlight...

Cedric tightened his grip on the sheet and the trousers became tighter. Cedric realized what happened. He touched his forehead and couldn’t help laughing.

He was thirty years old and had romantic relationships with countless women. Why was he suddenly nervous like a teenage boy expecting his first love?

How could he lose control due to some fantasy?

Unbelievable.

The phone rang in his pocket.

The ringtone stopped Cedric in his tracks. When he saw Peter call him, he asked, “What’s up?”

“Mr. Joseph was drunk in Empire Entertainment Center. William just called me and asked if you could go over and comfort Mr. Joseph. William is afraid that Mr. Joseph will get himself too drunk.”

“He hasn’t found that woman yet?”

“No. I asked Gerry and he said that the clue was dead-end. Mr. Joseph is going crazy.”

“Okay, got it.”

“I’ll be right there,” Cedric said, her eyes deep.

Cedric stood up and saw that Isabella was cutting fruit. However, she suddenly stopped and stared at the new phone in front of her in a daze.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Be careful. Don’t cut your fingers,” Cedric snapped his fingers in front of Isabella.

“I won’t.”

“The phone looks pretty nice. I was attracted to it.” Isabella smiled brightly.

“I’m glad you like it.”

“I need to go out now and might be back late. You should sleep early,” Cedric said, picking up his coat.

“It’s so late. Are you going out for a drink?” Isabella was stunned.

“A friend of mine got drunk after breaking up with his girl. I might drink a little with him.” Isabella’s concerned expression warmed up Cedric’s heart. “It’s fine. Just a little. Don’t worry.”

Isabella nodded.

“Then come back early,” Isabella said.

“By the way, I might not come back tomorrow.”

“I have a meeting early in the morning and a lunch invitation at noon. My family arranged a blind date for me at night. I need to deal with it,” Cedric said.

“Got it. I have a gathering tomorrow night,” Isabella nodded.

“Alright.”

Cedric picked up the pen on the table and wrote two lines of numbers on the sticky note. “Joey’s and Peter’s phone numbers. Just let one of them pick you up when you come back.”

Isabella did not decline and nodded. “Don’t come back too late.”

“Okay.”

Cedric stroked Isabella’s head affectionately. “Then I’ll leave first. Go to bed early.”

When Isabella saw Cedric leave and close the door, she fixed her eyes on the phone again.

She was indeed distracted.

Isabella looked at the phone Cedric gave her, but she was thinking about the pink phone that Joseph had given her.

It was the gift Joseph gave her as a formal apology. Isabella still remembered the arrogant and mighty look Joseph had when he wanted to sincerely apologize but felt awkward doing so.

Joseph looked cold and cute.

Isabella happily accepted that phone because it was the first gift Joseph gave her.

It was also the only present from him.

But now, she had lost the phone.

After all, Joseph was her first boyfriend. She didn’t even have a souvenir to commemorate the love.

Were they destined to separate in a sad ending without any nostalgia?

Isabella admitted that it was difficult for her to forget Joseph. But Isabella could never forget Joseph hung up her call so determined when she put her last hope on him.
