464 The Things in The Box

Joseph wasn’t afraid of anything today. He could remain calm when he was bungee jumping. However, Isabella saw that his face had turned pale.

More seriously for him, he turned back and retched against the wall.

Isabella paused. She ignored her fear, quickly pulled her hand out, and pressed the alarm on the wall.

In another passageway, Jane stuck to Gerry. She was like a piece of sticky candy. She pretended to be frightened and tried her best to get into Gerry’s arms. However, she could calmly kick back the monster that came out to scare people.

The alarm from the neighboring room appeared. Jane was stunned. “What? It looks like Isabella and Joseph. Are they giving up? Mr. Joseph is too timid.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gerry had already flung her off and rushed towards Joseph.

Ten minutes later, they gathered outside the haunted house.

Joseph leaned against the wall and drank some mineral water. Isabella stepped forward and looked at Joseph, whose face was still a little pale. She said carefully, “Are you feeling better now?”

“I’m fine.”

.....

Joseph waved his hand. “What other projects are there?”

Due to the failure of the challenge, the project stopped. Thus, Platt and David supported each other as they walked out. Platt looked weak. When he saw Joseph’s face, he immediately understood what was going on. He turned from listless to full of energy, “Did something happen to your group just now? It turns out that Mr. Joseph is afraid of ghosts. My father said that only guilty people are afraid of ghosts. Why are you so scared? By the way, are you doing something wrong? Well, you are not afraid of bungee jumping but afraid of a haunted house. You are too timid.”

David retorted, “Who was crying in my arms just now?” However, Joseph only smiled and didn’t say a word.

Joseph’s expression was pale. Seeing that, Jane wisely found an excuse to drag everyone away, leaving only Isabella and Joseph in front of the haunted house.

When Joseph looked better, Isabella asked, “What did you touch just now? Is it that scary? I touched the squama just now. I suspect they are snakes.”

Joseph paused for a moment, then said with a smile as usual, “Don’t you want to know what I’m afraid of? You want to know my weaknesses and fight back against me in the future, right?”

Isabella instantly turned red. “No...”

Then she remembered something and said in surprise, “Well! You are pretending...”

Joseph laughed heartily and hugged Isabella. “How is it, my dear? Is my acting good? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment after witnessing my frightened and flustered side?”

Isabella immediately laughed happily and punched Joseph. “You lied to me. You scared me to death!”

Joseph stood up and wrapped his arm around Isabella’s shoulder. He shrugged indifferently. “I have to show some respect to your friends, right? If you can’t find my weakness all day, you will be very disappointed.”

Isabella smiled foolishly and held Joseph’s hand. She was stunned.

Joseph tilted his head. “What’s wrong?”

“No... There is nothing. Let’s play with other projects.”

Isabella smiled. She thoughtfully lowered her head and opened her palm. She found that the hand she had held Joseph with was covered in sweat.

At night, the amusement park was full of good programs and all kinds of good-looking dolls. Four men played the hamster game. Isabella proposed to buy drinks with Jane.

They went to the convenience store. Isabella used the excuse of going to the toilet to ask Jane to pick up some drinks. She took the opportunity to run back to the haunted house and ask the staff what was in the box Joseph touched today.

The staff member smiled and explained, “In those two boxes, one has a pet lizard, and the other is a kitten. To prevent accidental injuries, they all wear masks. All of our things are not dangerous. The unknown is scary.”

Isabella thanked the staff and walked out thoughtfully.

She thought, ‘What I touch is a lizard. Joseph is touching a kitten.

That is amazing.

As expected, Joseph’s panic isn’t fake. Things are not as simple as he said. It is just...

He is a big man. Why is he afraid of cats?’

Isabella rolled her eyes and thought about it. Although she was certain that Joseph was truly afraid of cats, she was not happy at all.

Joseph’s fear was particularly strong. It looked very painful.

As Isabella was thinking about this, she walked back and saw a colorful souvenir car with a row of pink swan-shaped crystal bottles on it. She immediately held it up and looked at it lovingly.

“This is a souvenir from the amusement park. It is air perfume. Well, it isn’t used to wipe the body. You can put it in the closet. It smells good.” The stall owner smiled as he said, “Do you want one?”

Isabella wanted to say yes. However, there were still many projects to participate in. It was a little inconvenient, so she put it back. “Sorry. May I have two ice creams?”

“OK!”

Isabella held the ice cream and turned around happily.

However, she bumped into the person behind her. The ice cream brushed against the man’s expensive black suit.

“Oh my God! I’m sorry!”

Isabella was surprised and hurriedly apologized. She took a paper towel and said, “I didn’t do it on purpose just now. I...”

“Isabella.”

A familiar low voice sounded. Isabella looked up and immediately took a step back in shock. “Cedric?”

Then she saw that Peter, Joey, and a few familiar bodyguards were nearby.

Isabella’s face was full of horror. She seemed to be looking for a route to escape. Seeing that, Cedric smiled helplessly. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t do anything for you. I followed you for a day. Finally, I have a chance to talk to you.”

However, Isabella did not relax at all and continued to retreat. “Have you been with me for a day? Why are you looking for me?”

“I am sorry...” Cedric’s eyes were darkening. He said, “I just wanted to come over and apologize to you.”

Isabella was stunned. “Apologize?”

“About Stella’s pregnancy... I admit that I have cooperated with Stella, but I do think that the child was Joseph’s at that time... It is my mistake to let you know the wrong information without a clear investigation.”

Cedric thought for a moment and said seriously, “Although Stella and I are no longer friends, she grew up with us. She told me that she was pregnant. I didn’t think too much about it. Moreover, Joseph did go to the United States to save her. Therefore, I believed her at that time.
