Chapter 357: Chapter 357

357 Please Give Him Back to Me

Isabella exclaimed, “If it wasn’t for Miss Ghost, I would have been raped by those men. If it wasn’t for Cedric, I would have been sold to a terrifying place by Miss Ghost and never came back! By that time, will you look for me? Will you pity me? Will you care about me? Why should I forgive you? Why should I take the consequences for your mistake? Why should I give my life to a disloyal scumbag like you?”

Looking at the out-of-control Isabella, Joseph ignored her beating, stepped forward, and pulled her into his arms. He hugged her tightly and said, “Isabella... Calm down.”

“No! I can’t calm down! I’ve already calmed for too long!”

Joseph held Isabella still in his arms. Isabella couldn’t free herself, so she grabbed the clothes on Joseph’s back tightly. Every nerve in her body was tense. She cried loudly, “How could you change so fast? You’ve told me that you wanted to marry me and be my husband and that you would learn to love me. I was so happy, but in the end, you didn’t even care about my life...”

Joseph didn’t know what to say when she heard Isabella’s cry. His eyes were like black ink. He hugged Isabella tightly. Holding her exhausted body, Joseph murmured, “Isabella...”

There was a thump outside.

The muffled sound was accompanied by a familiar and subtle crying sound. Isabella and Joseph were stunned and looked in the direction the sound came from.

“Angelina, please let me see grandpa.”

Stella fell to the ground, her beautiful face full of tears. She said, “I just heard that grandpa is seriously ill. I have no other intention.”

.....

Angelina stood at the door with her hands planted against her waist in anger and said, “Stella, it’s the matter in my family. You have no right to visit my grandpa. Get out now! Don’t force me to be rude to you!”

“Angelina, I was wrong... It’s all my fault in the past. Please allow me to see him. Come on.”

Stella got up and wanted to hug Angelina but was shoved aside and fell to the ground. Angelina shouted at her, “Stella! No matter what, you are not allowed to see my grandpa!”

Isabella felt Joseph’s body tremble.

Despite holding Isabella, Joseph turned his face to look at Stella. He was shocked and worried.

Noticing his reaction, Isabella thought about it and loosened her hands. She stepped back and said, “Go and take a look.”

Joseph came back to his senses and looked at Isabella who was weeping. He said with affection, “Isabella, Stella, and I are not what you think we are. The relationship between us may be much more complicated than you thought. I will explain it to you at the right time, okay?”

In the distance, Stella cried bitterly.

Isabella nodded in silence, “Go.”

“All right.”

Joseph released his hold on Isabella. Isabella felt the warmth leave her hand and felt a little sad.

Unexpectedly, Joseph turned back and held her hand again, “Isabella, come with me.”

Isabella Looking at Joseph’s serious expression, Isabella felt surprised.

“I don’t want any misunderstanding between us. I want us to be honest with each other forever, do you get it?”

Joseph raised his hand to wipe tears on Isabella’s face and said, “Get your head out of the clouds.”

Isabella was touched, tears welling up in her eyes. Joseph smiled and led her quickly towards Stella. He shouted, “Angelina! Stop! Don’t do that to Stella!”

Angelina looked up and saw it was Isabella and Joseph. She said happily, “Isabella...”

When Stella saw Joseph holding Isabella’s hand tightly, she had mixed feelings.

Isabella saw the shock and sense of loss in Stella’s eyes.

“Stella, why are you here?”

Joseph crouched down to support Stella, and said with a little anger, “Where is Sylvia? The doctor specifically told you not to come out now. You are so emotional. It’s not good for your recovery.”

Stella wrapped her arms around Joseph’s waist and buried her face in his arms. She cried, “Joseph, please let me see grandpa. I was wrong. It’s my fault that Isabella suffered those things. I will never do it again...”

“Grandpa is fine. You can rest assured.”

Joseph pulled Stella up and said, “If grandpa knew you came here, he would get angry. How about William sending you back?”

Then he called out, “William!”

“Got it!” William answered.

Stella looked at Joseph’s determined and distant expression and said in a daze, “Joseph, so you didn’t either forgive me, did you?”

“I mean, the past is the past.”

Joseph sighed softly and gently wiped away the tears on Stella’s face. He did it patiently like he was comforting a child, “Go back now and take care of your health. Take your medicine on time. I will forgive you if you follow these things I told you.”

Stella ignored Joseph’s words and turned to look at Isabella with teary eyes.

Isabella was stunned and said nervously, “I already know about you deleting my texts. I’ll let go of this matter. Ms. Stella, go back and have a good rest. Joseph and I...”

“Miss Isabella!”

William bent down and was about to take Stella away when Stella suddenly broke free from him and grabbed Isabella’s trousers. Stella screamed, “Sorry, I was wrong! I lied! If it weren’t for me that night, you couldn’t have been hurt, but I can live without Joseph! It’s all my fault! You can beat me and scold me! Give Joseph back to me! Please!”

Isabella did not expect this to come. She was so frightened that she took a step back. Joseph immediately frowned, “Stella, what are you saying? William!”

William made a sign, and several bodyguards came forward to pull Stella away forcibly.

“No! I don’t want to go back! Let me finish my words!”

Stella held onto Isabella’s ankle tightly. Tears fell from her face as she screamed in pain and despair, “I can’t bear watching my happiness be taken away by you. I won’t be able to live without Joseph! If there were no misunderstandings... If I had other choices...”

Stella cried bitterly when she was dragged away. The voice echoed in the corridor, “Miss Isabella, please don’t take my Joseph away. Don’t take away my hope. Joseph, I do love you. I was forced to leave you back then. I don’t want to leave you. I don’t want to...”

Stella’s voice finally disappeared in the distance. Isabella looked at Stella’s tears on the ground and was lost in thought.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
