471 The Smiths Have Arrived (2)
Lukasâ face darkened. âRosy, what did you say? Do you regret marrying me?â
It was a slip of the tongue. Rosy frowned. Then, she turned around and snorted coldly, âWe canât compare to them in anything, home, career, the jewelry, and clothes ... I feel so ashamed! We live like beggars!â
Lukas felt angry as he watched Rosy leave in a huff. âDo you love me? Or do you love the diamonds?â
In the main hall.
Dressed in an elegant silver suit, Joseph leaned against the door. Gerry reported to him, âThe Smiths have arrived. Ms. Isabella has gone out to welcome them.â
âOkay.â
Joseph paused and looked into the distance, âJohn visited us over earlier. I can tell that Isabellaâs stepfather is planning something. Although I know he is not easy to deal with, I did not expect that he is so cunning. If I had known it ... Forget it. Remember to act according to the situation. Donât let Charlie notice anything strange. If it doesnât work, Iâll teach Isabellaâs stepfather a lesson.â
âYes!â
âJoseph, I heard that my in-laws have arrived?â
.....
Charlie was dressed in a light brown traditional costume. He had a bright smile on his face. âWhat do you think of my costume? Itâs the first time Iâve met Isabellaâs family. I feel more nervous than negotiating an important contract! I believe Isabellaâs family will also be interesting!â
Joseph teased with a smile, âWhen you were young, you attracted a lot of girls. Now youâre still charming. You look good in everything.â
âJoseph, why do you begin to flatter me recently? I feel like you did it on purpose. This is not good!â Charlie raised his walking stick and scolded Joseph.
âDidnât you ask me to learn from Isabella?â Joseph smiled and dodged Charlieâs walking stick. âI found that she is very good at acting cute, so I tried it. It turns out that you really like this.â
Charlie was just about to laugh when William walked in and reported, âMaster Wilson, Isabellaâs family have arrived.â
Charlie responded and went forward to welcome them. Seeing Charlie waiting at the door, Carl was stunned. He ran over from a distance, âMr. Charlie! It is a great honor to meet you! Thinking about you, I didnât sleep well last night!â
Charlie smiled. âSo we are in the same mood. I was a little nervous just now.â
âThatâs right. Isabella is really lucky to gain your favor. This is our familyâs honor!â
Charlie laughed. âYou are being modest. My opinion is not important. The most important thing is that they like each other. Isabella is very outstanding and sensible. Joseph is lucky to have Isabella. Isabella can tolerate his bad temper and take care of him. They are a good match.â
âThatâs right. Isabella is very good at making others like her! Iâve educated her well since she was a child. Otherwise, how could she get engaged to Joseph?â
Charlie was stunned. Then, he smiled and said, âWhat do you mean? They will go register tomorrow. According to the law, we will soon be family.â
Hearing this, Rosa turned to look at Isabella as she whispered, âAre you going to register tomorrow? Didnât you say that you would wait for the wedding?â
âThat was my plan. But Charlie had told me that tomorrow would be a good day for registration. Itâs best for us to choose a lucky day.â
Isabella smiled bashfully. âIâm getting along well with Joseph. Charlie treats me well, too. Thereâs no difference between getting married a month earlier or a month later. Thatâs why I agreed. I wanted to tell you later. You wonât be angry at me, right?â
Rosa shook her head and said, âI canât help you with anything. How could I be angry with you? Iâm just afraid that you would feel inferior because of our family and didnât dare to tell them your thoughts.â
âThatâs not the case.â Isabella hurriedly waved her hand. âAlthough the Wilson family is rich, they wonât look down upon me. Instead, Charlie treats me well ... Actually...â
âWhat?â
âI also want to marry Joseph as soon as possible. Iâm afraid that he will fall in love with other women ... Mom, I really like him. He treats me very well too.â
âIsabella, youâve grown up...â
Rosa looked at Isabellaâs happy face. She smiled happily and touched Isabellaâs ears. âItâs good that you like each other. Iâm really glad that you can say that. Iâm not afraid of anything. But I am only worried that you will feel unhappy.â
âAre you Isabellaâs mother?â
After Charlie talked with Carl, he turned to Rosa and praised, âNo wonder Isabella is so beautiful. It turns out her mother is even prettier.â
âThank you very much.â
âMother, come in and have a seat,â Joseph walked over and said. Rosa was very excited. She covered her mouth and said in surprise, âMr. Charlie...â
âFrom today onwards, you can call me by my name.â
Joseph smiled gently. There was no trace of sternness or coldness on his face. Instead, he was very respectful. âSince I will be Isabellaâs husband, Iâm also your son. If you meet any difficulty, please feel free to tell me.â
Joseph bought Rosa a villa, but Rosa did not accept it for the time being. First, John was still in high school. Rosa had to take care of him, so she couldnât break up with Carl. Then, Rosa had to consider Isabellaâs future.
The Smith family and the Wilson family were not of the same social status. If Joseph wanted to buy Rosaâs beauty and youth with his money, Rosa would not accept it. Therefore, she was the opposite of Carl. When Isabella and Joseph just got together, Rosa refused to get any benefits from Joseph. She did not want her daughter to be looked down upon.
Joseph looked so proud and arrogant before. But today he was sweet and considerate.
Joseph must love Isabella very much. He was willing to treat her family as his family.
Therefore, Rosa held Isabellaâs hand tightly and was extremely excited. Isabella understood what it was about. She smiled and nodded at Rosa. Then she held Rosaâs hand and took Rosa to the living room.
Joseph was still standing at the door, welcoming Lukas and his wife.
