444 Isabella, Marry Me
âYou can watch the fireworks! Donât worry. It will all right soon,â Jane said.
âDonât worry. I am fine,â Isabella replied.
Hanging up the phone, Isabella smiled with relief and looked at the fireworks outside.
Suddenly, something black appeared in the light of the fireworks. It was getting bigger as it got closer with a roar.
âIs it a helicopter?â Isabella murmured to herself.
She looked up at the helicopter coming toward her. A ladder dropped out of the helicopter, and several men climbed down the ladder and landed on the wheel beside Isabellaâs box.
âWow, this is indeed the most expensive amusement park in Peace City. This is the coolest way I have ever seen to save people,â Isabella exclaimed.
But those men didnât open the door to take Isabella out. Instead, they surrounded her box and began to work on something. It seemed that they tried to dismantle Isabellaâs box.
âWhatâs going on? What are you doing?â Isabella asked anxiously.
.....
Isabella panicked when she saw those men gesture toward each other. Soon, her box was separated from the Ferris wheel and rose into the air.
People were surprised to see that.
They were amazed by it. But the box kept shaking, so Isabella asked in shock, âWhat are you doing? What do you want?â
Jane noticed the Wilson family crest on the helicopter despite the long distance. She swallowed and murmured to herself, âWhat is Joseph doing?â
Davis said in a daze, âI saw Isabellaâs pale face. She must be freaked out. Is that what you and Joseph spent an hour on? What a stupid way to propose! I doubt very much if Isabella can survive this until Joseph proposes!â
âI donât know! I suggested that he should take Isabella out of the box in a hot air balloon with a bunch of roses. Why did he take the helicopter? And why did he remove Isabellaâs box? Whatâs going on? Itâs my fault!â Jane muttered.
The helicopter had left the Blue Sky Amusement Park. It was heading to the moat beside the park. Isabella freaked out in the shaking box, but she noticed the Wilson family crest on the helicopter, so she banged on the window and shouted, âJoseph! Mr. Joseph! I will never do that again. I will never go to meet Cedric alone! Please donât drop me into the river! I donât want to die young!â
In the helicopter.
Joseph couldnât hear Isabellaâs shouting. He was in a black suit and wore a black bow tie. Holding a blue ring box in his hand, Joseph was excited and nervous. He said, âGerry, can I make it? Will Isabella forgive me? She didnât call me today, so I am afraid that she is very disappointed in me.â
Gerry looked at Joseph firmly and said, âJane has known Ms. Isabella for 16 years, so we should trust her. Our plan has covered everything related to romance, the thrilling amusement park, the romantic hot air balloon, adorable dolls, and fragrant flowers. Ms. Isabella will be so moved!â
âBut we donât have a hot air balloon. Is that okay? Will Isabella mind it?â Joseph clenched his fists because he was so nervous.
âNo, she will not. The weather is not suitable for a hot air balloon. But we can achieve the same effect by hanging the box on the helicopter. Itâs all about flying in the air.â
Joseph replied happily, âGerry, you are better than me at coaxing girls. I am glad to have your assistance.â
Gerry felt shy to hear Josephâs compliments. He lowered his head and said, âThis is my job! Mr. Joseph, Ms. Isabella will be moved for sure!â
Gerry checked the time and said, âWe are moving on to the next step now. I have told the people on the yacht to take out the flowers. Mr. Joseph, good luck!â
âThank you! You will have a holiday after I succeed!â Joseph said.
The two of them were so devoted to the discussion of their perfect proposal plan that they ignored Isabella who was screaming in the box...
Isabella felt that her head was spinning. She kept hitting the door and window. When she found that the box was not shaking that hard anymore, she struggled to stand up. But the door under her feet opened suddenly and she fell...
The moment Isabella fell, she closed her eyes desperately.
All she could think of was the headlines in the media for tomorrow. âA womanâs dead body in the moat, pathetic and horrible.â âA helicopter landing on the Ferris wheel of the Blue Sky Amusement Park just to steal a box!â Isabella couldnât be more familiar with these titles. She could even foresee the reports on this...
Isabella was wondering how great it would be if she had never met Joseph. She didnât expect that she would end up dying so young...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Instead, Isabella didnât hear any sound of the splashing of water. She landed on something soft. It didnât hurt her at all. Isabella even smelt the fragrance of flowers...
She sat up at once, looking around in a daze. She found her in the middle of a pool with dolls and flowers. She looked up at the starry sky. It turned out that she was on a white yacht.
Isabella turned around and saw Joseph on one knee. He lowered his head with a ring box in his hand and said seriously, âIsabella marry me.â
Isabella was stunned.
âAlthough we will get engaged next week, I owe you a grand proposal. I have never asked you before if you want to marry me...â Joseph said.
Josephâs hand was trembling. He was very nervous and excited. He added, âI know everything. It is a big misunderstanding. Stellaâs baby has nothing to do with me. The reason I kept it from you and everyone is that the father of this baby is far too dangerous. I donât want to put you at risk by giving it away.â
âIt is true that I have given up myself for a long time because of Stella. The reason I met you at the nightclub was that I wanted to indulge myself in women because I was so depressed. I saw Stella on TV everywhere but I couldnât have her. So I went crazy. I thought that I could get over her with another woman...
Joseph continued after a pause, âBut I met you, and you lived with me by accident. At first, I thought that we were just pretending it. But after I have you in my life, I have never felt anything for another woman. The reason I went to America to save Stella was that I owed her it. I owed her a lot, so I protected her baby. She wouldnât leave without me. Now that she ends up like this, I should be blamed...â
Joseph raised his head suddenly and said, âIsabella, you are the only one I love. You are the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to be with you forever! Isabella, I...â
