323 Impotent Man

“What? No, I didn’t”

Isabella felt Joseph’s overbearing aura, but she still straightened up and said, “How is that possible?”

“Did you get jealous?”

“You think too much...”

Joseph let out a cold snort. Then he held Isabella’s injured finger which was wrapped with a band-aid. “It won’t work,” he said.

“I can bind up it again,” he said as he took out the medicine kit.

Isabella was puzzled. “Why? Mr. Joseph, you’re a distinguished dandy. Do you really know how to bind it up?”

Joseph rolled her eyes. “Even a doctor doesn’t know how to deal with the wound. You’re a fool. How could you be pinched by a crab?”

“Then why do you pretend to know how to deal with it?”

.....

“I was pinched by a lobster.”

Isabella was amused.

Seeing that Joseph didn’t seem to be joking, Isabella couldn’t help laughing. “You are also a fool.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If you say it again, I’ll throw you into the sea. You silly fool!”

“Joseph.”

As they were bickering with each other, Stella’s soft voice came. Isabella was startled and quickly withdrew her hand. She saw Stella standing not far away, gazing at them indifferently.

“Stella, why do you come here? It’s windy. You’d better go back.”

Isabella thought for a moment and stood up. “I’ll go first.”

“I haven’t finished binding up your finger. Where are you going?”

Joseph pulled Isabella suddenly and she reeled.

He was gentle with Stella.

But he had a bad temper when he was with Isabella.

Isabella thought that she shouldn’t have felt that he was gentle just now. She shook him off. “When I go back, I’ll ask Rocky to do it, but I won’t let you do it! You know nothing about it and you’re impotent.”

“Isabella!”

Joseph roared, “Who is Rocky? How many men have you hooked up with these days?”

“It’s a husky raised by an hourly worker!”

“Isabella! How dare you compare me to a dog! Do you want me to kick your ass?” Joseph roared and waved his fist.

“Come on, boy! Come to scratch me. You’re narrow-minded.” Isabella made a wry face and ran away.

“Isabella Smith!”

Stella looked at them bickering with each other and looked at Joseph with sparkling eyes, “Joseph...”

“Stella.”

Joseph immediately wore a gentle look and patted Stella on the shoulder. “Did I scare you? Are you okay? Isabella is a noisy woman. That’s why I talked to her in that way. Don’t mind.”

Stella lowered her watery eyes, a hint of sadness flashing through them. “Joseph, do you like her?”

Joseph was stunned and said with a smile, “I like her. Of course, I like her. But she is a sassy woman and I think I can’t discipline her.”

As they spoke, Gerry returned.

“Mr. Joseph, will you steam the crabs that were fished up at noon?”

Joseph nodded. “Yes! Find the one that pinched Isabella and chop up it.”

“Check my phone. When Isabella ran away from home that night, did she call me? She said that she called me but I didn’t answer her. That’s why she made a scene here. Isn’t that nonsense? I checked my phone several times and I’m sure she didn’t call me.”

“Okay.”

Gerry took the phone and put it in his jacket pocket.

Stella narrowed her eyes.

That night, Stella deleted Isabella’s messages and calls from Joseph’s phone. Joseph got anxious because of this matter. If Joseph found out the truth...

Stella had never expected that they would be together again after this.

Joseph had always been the kind of man who would never dwell on past actions or get back with his ex-girlfriend just like how he treated Stella back then.

No matter how distressed he was, he would let bygones be bygones.

It was very obvious that Isabella was angry after Joseph didn’t answer her. That was why Isabella had run away from home. In two days, she had carried on with Cedric.

Unexpectedly, Joseph still wanted to date her after Isabella had already done it.

Stella was a little anxious. If Joseph found out that she had done that behind his back, would he be angry and disappointed with her? She didn’t think too much at that time, but now she regretted that she was too reckless.

Stella came up with a plan.

“Joseph.”

Stella gently held Joseph’s hand with a hint of sadness in her eyes. “Isabella seems to have already been with Cedric. She dumped you. You still want to get her back?”

“What did you say?”

Joseph stood with arms akimbo and laughed domineeringly. “She is mine. She was just throwing a tantrum and hiding from me. She is still mine. If I don’t let her go, she can’t just run away. This is just my indulgence toward her. If I don’t want to indulge her anymore, she will be back immediately.”

Then he said frankly, “There might be some misunderstanding about what happened last time. That’s why she made a fuss. When I find out the truth, I will bring her back.”

“Joseph, you don’t mind that your woman has been with another man?” Stella suddenly said.

After hearing this, Joseph’s eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at Stella. “Stella, what do you want to say?”

“Nothing...”

“I don’t want to say anything. I just want to care about you. I don’t want you to be hurt again,” Stella’s eyes darkened.

“This is different from the matter between us before.”

Joseph suddenly became serious. “She is a bit sassy, but inwardly she is a coward. She couldn’t have done anything improper in just two days with Cedric.”

Stella’s face turned pale and she bit her lips. “Joseph, I knew you were still thinking about what happened before.”

“Just let bygones be bygones.”

Joseph lowered his eyes and looked at Stella. “Stella, you’re one of the most important people for me in this world. I have never hated you. I have got over it. I respect your choice.”

“But, at that time...”

Stella bit her lips, wanting to say something. But in the end, she did not say anything, only tears swirling in her eyes. “I understand.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about the past anymore.”

Joseph patted Stella on the shoulder. “I take you out today to play with my friends. I hope that you can drive away your cares. Let’s go and continue to sun ourselves.”

Stella looked at the warmth in Joseph’s eyes and thought for a while. “Thanks, Joseph. But I’ll stay here and watch Gerry steam crabs and rest for a while. You can go out first. I’ll go out when I feel comfortable.”

“Alright.”

Joseph asked Gerry to take good care of Stella and then left.
