425 Investigation

When Joseph heard this, he immediately pinched Isabella’s chin and said naughtily, “What, do you want to flirt with another man behind my back? Why do you want this kind of promise from me? Will you do some bad things and want me to forgive you?”

Isabella frowned slightly.

“Alright, I’ll give you a chance.” Joseph hugged Isabella in his arms. “Go to sleep. I’m a little tired today.”

Isabella looked at Joseph, who was stretching lazily. After a moment of silence, he nodded and hugged Joseph, saying, “Let’s hang out tomorrow. I want to be with you forever.”

Joseph yawned and said calmly, “I forgot to tell you that I still have some things to deal with at the company tomorrow.”

Isabella said sensitively, “Didn’t you say that you would be done with your work today?”

Joseph smiled and said, “The work is done, but Angelina has some things to take care of these days. I need to finish them.”

After a pause, he added, “It just requires the morning. I’ll hang out with you in the afternoon.”

Isabella immediately held Joseph’s hand. “Then I will go to work with you. I will serve you tea and water.”

.....

“No need.”

Joseph smiled and scratched Isabella’s nose. “I can’t bear to let you work hard. You can hang out tomorrow morning. If you like jewelry or decorations, just buy them to decorate our house. Or if you don’t want to go out, you can stay in the manor and plan the engagement details with grandpa.”

Isabella lowered her eyes and recalled Cedric’s words about “you’ll prove that”. She nodded thoughtfully. “Alright.”

“Yes...” Joseph looked at Isabella’s well-behaved appearance and gently pulled her into his embrace.

“Joseph...”

“Let’s have a baby as soon as possible, okay?” Isabella looked at Joseph’s handsome face, which was just inches away from hers.

When Joseph heard this, he smiled mischievously. Then, he kissed Isabella’s ear and said tenderly, “Don’t do it on purpose, at least not now. Let fate decide. If you’re pregnant, we will keep the baby.”

Isabella’s eyes dimmed. “But I like children very much. I think that you will treat me better if we have a baby.”

Joseph couldn’t help but laugh. His handsome face was like the afternoon sunny sun, “What are you talking about? I like you more than our baby. Don’t you know it? I don’t want a baby now. I just want to live a longer life only with you. Anyway, we are still very young. Even if we want a baby a few years later, it will be okay.”

Isabella frowned. “Then if I am pregnant, will you let me do an abortion?”

Joseph paused for a moment, then he laughed out loud. He held Isabella’s head and said seriously, “What are you thinking about? Why would I let you have an abortion? I said I don’t want a baby now. It means that I don’t want to be affectionate with you or have a burden because of a baby. It doesn’t mean that you have to have an abortion. Moreover...”

Joseph bit Isabella’s nose and said naughtily, “I think that a new life will soon come to the manor since we work so hard.”

Isabella immediately hugged Joseph tightly. “I love you, Joseph ... I really like you now. I am even willing to do everything for you regardless of anything. So you are not allowed to lie to me. You are not allowed to do anything behind my back, okay?”

“You silly thing.”

Joseph rolled over and pressed down on Isabella, “Angelina said that women have a pre-marital phobia. It seems to be true. Don’t worry, I really like you too. Let me prove it with my actions.”

...

The next day, Joseph woke up for his morning exercise. He took a bath and got changed as usual.

Isabella opened her eyes and saw that Joseph was putting on a tie for himself. She said softly, “You should have woken me up. I said that I would match your clothes.”

Joseph turned around and smiled. “Why did you wake up so early today? I didn’t wake you up on purpose. I think you were too tired to lift your arms last night.”

Isabella moved her arms and her eyes flickered. “Joseph, I can’t keep up with you every time. Do you think I’m useless?”

Joseph was stunned and tilted his head. “Useless? Why do you think so?”

Isabella said dejectedly, “I feel very good every time... But do you feel the same too? Is it really like what you said ... every time when you’re excited about sex, I will ruin it, right?”

Joseph walked to the bed, knelt on the bed, and touched Isabella’s face. “What’s wrong with you this morning?”

Isabella hugged Joseph’s neck. “I’m afraid that you will think that I’m a useless woman. I’m afraid that I can’t make you happy.”

“No! It really is a marriage phobia.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Joseph smiled and leaned over to kiss Isabella’s forehead. He comforted her, “Don’t worry, I was just teasing you. If a man can make his beloved woman happy and do his best, he will feel a sense of achievement. So every time I see your happy face and sticky manner, I am really satisfied.”

Then, he pinched Isabella’s cheek. “Don’t worry, I am very satisfied with you now. Otherwise, why will I marry you? Sleep for a little bit longer, baby. Save some energy, and we’ll have sex again tonight.”

Isabella looked at Joseph’s gentle appearance and smiled. “Then you go to work. Goodbye.”

Joseph nodded. “See you later.”

“OK.”

Joseph closed the door and left. Isabella suddenly jumped up from the bed and then quickly rushed into the cloakroom.

She chose a casual outfit that she had seldom worn before, picked up a hat, and took out a pair of sunglasses from Joseph’s box.

Avoiding the bodyguards and Gerry, Isabella sneaked out of the manor, saying that she would take a walk in the garden. She got into David’s car, which had been waiting at the door, and followed Joseph’s car.

“Come one, Isabella. Since you already know that he is with another woman. Why are you still doing this?” David suggested as he drove, “Why not go straight up and try everything you can? Even if you break up, you can get a large sum of money.”

“I don’t want to break up with him. I don’t want to mess up things. Since I want to marry Joseph, I have to believe him.” Isabella’s eyes darkened.

“Then what is going on now? Don’t you still not believe him?”

“I believe him, but I need to figure out the truth to get some courage to believe him. I believe him because I love him, and I’m trying to figure out the truth because I’m rational. It is not contradictory.”

David sighed and said, “Isabella, it’s understandable that the rich man has ex-girlfriends. Some rich friends of mine have many lovers. They are rather rich. It’s very common for young and beautiful women to pursue them. If you really find something wrong today, remember not to be sad. After all, you are his wife, right? There are many rich and powerful families. Sometimes, when you take a step back, you will find things getting easier. Just pretend that you’re living in the ancient time when men had wives and concubines. Don’t try to occupy a man like him alone.”
