424 Refuse to Tell Her the Truth
Half an hour later, Gerry and Isabella bought some medicinal wine for Jane and sent her back to her small apartment. Jane hung on Gerryâs back, looking rather weak.
Isabella quickly took out the medicinal wine when seeing Janeâs weak face. She said with heartache, âJane, does it still hurt now? Iâll wipe the medicinal wine for you. Hold on and youâll be fine soon.â
Jane opened one of her eyes and saw that only the two of them were left in the room. She said angrily, âIsabella, you idiot!â
Isabella hung her head and said guiltily, âIâm sorry. It was my fault today. I didnât expect Cedric to...â
âIâm not talking about that! Hurry up and get that hot guy Gerry to help me with the medical wine!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jane beamed with joy, âCanât you see that Iâm pretending to be in pain? I feel uncomfortable on my hands, not my feet. I want him to carry me on his back because I am interested in him. Come on! You idiot!â
Isabella did not react to this sudden change. âAre you really interested in Gerry? But you said that you are interested in Jayden!â
Jane slapped Isabellaâs head with her hands, very flexible. âWhen I face a fool thing who has to go Dutch with me before having sex and a hero who can fight and help me with my injuries, of course I choose the latter one! Quickly let him in! If you stop me from getting my future boyfriend, Iâll get mad!â
Isabella hurriedly said, âI see! I will immediately let Gerry in!â
.....
...
After a long time, Isabella finally took in Gerry, a silly man, and he helped Jane with the medical wine After doing this for more than an hour, during which Jane often let out sweet and embarrassing howls, Gerry finally came out of Janeâs room with a red face. He reported, âI have done it, Ms. Isabella...â
After a pause, he added, âActually, I donât think your friend needs her joints on the shoulders to be treated, but her head.â
...
âSo we shouldnât try to argue with a fool like her. From tomorrow onwards, I hope that you can come over to help Jane, who is inconvenient to move around. This way, youâre helping me.â Isabella patted Gerry.
...
Jane immediately gave Isabella a meaningful thumbs up from afar.
...
Although Isabella felt guilty for causing Janeâs injuries, she was happy that nothing serious happened. Jane seemed to have returned to normal. Moreover, she could even happily teas Gerry. Isabella felt much better to see this.
But Gerry might have suffered a little...
What made Isabella the most uncomfortable was how to face Joseph tonight.
At 10 p.m...
Half an hour after Isabella returned to the Wilson Manor, Joseph also returned.
Unexpectedly, Joseph came back a little later than she did.
âI brought back a delicious snack for you.â
Joseph entered and saw Isabella waiting for her at the door. He felt warm. He hugged her and stuffed the beautiful snack box into her arms. He said warmly, âWill my sweet little wife wait for me at the door every time I come back from work?â
Isabella immediately nodded seriously. âI will.â
Joseph smiled. âI heard that you just came back. Have you had fun?â
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gerry beside him and instantly frowned. âGerry, why are you injured?â
Isabella was stunned. Seeing that Gerry was about to speak, she was afraid that Gerry would tell Joseph everything. So she immediately interrupted, âItâs Jane. When we were eating outside, we had some confrontations with someone. Jane was impulsive and fought with that person. Fortunately, Gerry...â
Joseph immediately looked at Isabella with concern. âAre you okay? Why do bad things always happen when you go out? Just stay at home in the future!â
Isabella smiled and said thoughtfully, âDid the business go well tonight? You came back so late. Usually it is because of business.â
âWe also had dinner and drank.â
Joseph also smiled. âAfter that, I especially went around Peace City to buy you this snack. I heard from the girls in the company that this was gorgeous. So I bought one for you to try. I know that as long as there is something delicious, you will feel happy.â
Isabella looked at the beautiful box in her hand and smiled, but she couldnât make a real smile.
Joseph didnât tell the truth at all. Moreover, he didnât hesitate or pause when he said that.
Joseph went upstairs to his room, got changed, and took a shower in the bathroom as usual.
Isabella changed into her pajamas and sat on the bed. She held the magazine in her hand, her eyes wide open and in a daze.
Should she ask Joseph herself? But if she did, he would know that she had secretly met Cedric. Then things might be...
A sound came.
The bathroom door opened. Joseph walked out with a large towel covering his wet hair. When he saw Isabella in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her eyes. He smiled and said, âWhat are you thinking about, sweetie?â
Isabella snapped back to reality. âOh, about the engagement party.â
After a pause, she said, âTell me how you dealt with that cunning old thing from the business world today. I want to hear about your heroic deeds.â
Joseph said directly, âItâs all about business. Iâm afraid you wonât understand even if I tell you. But I can tell you what delicious food I ate tonight and make you drool.â
Isabella watched as Joseph described his story vividly. He showed nothing strange. She gently held his hand and said in a trembling voice, âJoseph...â
Joseph was stunned. âWhatâs wrong?â
âJoseph, I want to discuss something with you.â
âYes, go ahead.â
âThere are many things I know little about, such as the field you set foot in, and the things you do with others... But I still hope that you can tell me about them. Iâm not as stupid or unreasonable as you think. I wonât criticize your plans or ideas, so can ... can you...â
Isabella bit her lip. âSo from now on, can you stop being perfunctory about what you have done to me?â
Joseph paused and smiled as he patted Isabellaâs head. He teased, âWhat do you mean? Do you want to learn how to do business from me?â
Isabellaâs eyes flickered. âNot really...â
âAfter we get married, Iâll gradually teach you what you want to know.â Joseph lowered his head and kissed Isabella on the forehead. He said affectionately, âYou have to be busy with the engagement party or something these days. But you donât have to work so hard. Some things should be shouldered by men.â
Isabella thought for a moment and suddenly hugged Josephâs waist. âHoney, letâs give each other a chance to forgive each other. No matter what bad things happen in the future, give each other a chance to get back together, okay?â
