Chapter 381: Chapter 381

381 Take a Leave

On the way back, Isabella could not help but ask, “I see that in your garden, there are all kinds of animals. You like them very much. Why are you only afraid of cats?”

Joseph snorted. “Who said I am afraid of cats? It is disgusting.”

“Then why is it disgusting?”

Joseph continued to snort. “Does it need a reason to be disgusted? Just like how I hated you at the beginning. At that time, there was no reason. I just hated you very much.”

Isabella rolled her eyes and pulled Joseph’s arm. He laughed and said, “Rosy said that you were scared by cats when you were a child. Tell me about it. I think you are quite cute when you are afraid of cats.”

Joseph coldly shook Isabella off. “You’re the cute one!”

“I love you so much, Joseph.”

Isabella began to use her trump card. She grabbed Joseph’s arm like sticky candy and asked with a shy face, “So I was especially afraid that other women would know that you are actually so cute. Just tell me, okay? I am your future wife. I should know.”

“I just don’t like cats. There is no reason.”

.....

Joseph didn’t say anything, but Isabella insisted on asking. They dragged each other all the way back to the house. William and the head chef had already prepared a table of delicious food.

“Wow, so much. It smells so good...”

As a foodie, Isabella immediately ignored Joseph the moment she smelled the food and she instantly washed her hands, entering the dining room.

When Charlie saw Isabella, he immediately burst out laughing. “Isabella makes things different at home. It’s much livelier. Come and take a look. The head chef made roasted beef and cheese pizza for you. There’s also soup, and... Just eat quickly!”

Joseph followed her to wash his hands and sit down elegantly. When he saw that Isabella had already swallowed a piece of Pizza and a bowl of soup, he instantly said in disdain, “Are you a beggar? You did this in the morning.”

“I’m just very hungry. I went running early in the morning.”

Isabella rolled her eyes and complained to Charlie, “Master Wilson, Joseph didn’t let me sleep this morning. That’s why I ate so much.”

Charlie smiled and said, “It’s fine. Don’t worry about what he said. Just eat it.”

“You are the best!”

While Isabella was smiling, he saw Angelina coming down the stairs with her gown. She stretched and complained, “I’m so sleepy. Joseph, if you have enough energy, you should take care of the work you haven’t finished in the past few days. Last night, you only finished 13 cases. The remaining five were finished by me. Who is the heir of the Wilson family?”

“Just five cases and you couldn’t handle it already?”

Joseph snorted. “When you threw the mess to me before, did you know how many hours I slept for a day?”

“It’s fine to let me do it.”

Angelina said excitedly, “Then give me the right of inheritance, and I will immediately call my honey back. You don’t have to worry about everything.”

“It’s our family’s matter. That man can never get into the Wilson family,” Joseph retorted.

“What are you saying? Why is my honey an outsider? He is the father of the child in my belly!” Angelina said as she gently bumped into Joseph with her belly.

Joseph didn’t dodge. Instead, he snorted, “If you can’t give birth to a baby before the end of the year, I’ll kick you out of here!”

Angelina choked and looked at Isabella pitifully. “How can it be born at the end of the year? The doctor said that my child grows slowly, so it has to be the next year...”

“Slow?”

Joseph smiled evilly, “Eating tonics all day long will make your baby grow slow? Then I will give you three more months. It’s enough for you to give birth. If you can’t...”

“Come, darling. Eat this.”

When Isabella saw Angelina staring at her, she instantly understood. He put down the spoon and pulled Joseph’s face over, putting jelly in his mouth.

Joseph used his tongue to take it. “You should eat more. It’s your favorite.”

Then, he turned around and was about to continue to scold Angelina. He was stuffed with another one by Isabella. “Darling, is it sweet?”

“Sweet.”

Joseph opened his mouth, and another one was stuffed into it. He was instantly furious. “Isabella! Are you trying to kill me?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m doing this because I love you. Are you scolding me?”

“I am not. You deliberately didn’t let me speak!”

“It’s your mouth. I didn’t take it from you.”

“I saw it! I saw it! Joseph, you’re scolding Isabella! You aren’t a man!”

“Angelina, this has nothing to do with you! Let’s continue what we didn’t finish!”

Joseph was surrounded by two women at the same time. The quiet dining room was noisy for a while. Charlie was very pleased to see the three young people arguing. He sighed, “How long has it been since our family was so lively?”

William immediately smiled and said, “That’s not important. What’s important is that it will be lively in the future.”

“Yes!”

Charlie laughed heartily. “Stop fighting. Joseph, William said you have something to discuss with me. What is it?”

“Oh, I want to take a leave,” Joseph said directly.

“Why?”

Isabella was stunned. She felt something was wrong.

“I want to accompany Isabella for a few days.”

Joseph held Isabella’s hand and said tenderly, “Since we have decided to get married, there are things that need to be handled. For example, visiting Isabella’s family, bringing her to meet my friends, or picking a ring. We should hang out to relieve the pressure before marriage.”

Isabella stared at Joseph, feeling that his motive was not that simple.

Charlie nodded. “Alright, let Angelina do your work for a few days.”

Angelina immediately said disdainfully, “Joseph, you should know. Even if I can help you manage the company’s affairs, for the time being, I need rest too. When will you come back?”

Joseph touched Isabella’s face and said affectionately, “We’ll come back after Isabella is pregnant.”

Isabella dropped her spoon.

Angelina spat out a mouthful of soup. “What? Joseph, are you out of your mind? If you can’t make a child, are you going to quit?”

Joseph’s face darkened. “How you say that? We can make a baby for sure.”

Charlie said seriously, “Angelina, Joseph is right. Isabella said he couldn’t do it before because he was too tired.”

Isabella panicked. As expected, Joseph exploded. “Who said it?”

It became chaotic. Angelina immediately slapped the table and stood up. “Of course, it’s you who can’t do it! I can finish five cases carrying a baby. You, a man who has been receiving elite education since childhood, actually need to take a leave to make a baby. I think you should go to the hospital to check your body, instead of taking a leave!”
