Chapter 458 - Let’s Have Fun
458 Let’s Have Fun
Isabella saw Joseph change his clothes silently and ignore her. She thought for a while and recounted what Charlie had said. “Perhaps Uncle Michael had gone too far back then. But the death of your mother has nothing to do with him. Andrew and Andy were kids back then. You can’t hate Uncle Michael just because of such a coincidence...”
There was a loud bang.
“Who told you it was a coincidence? Why are you defending Michael and his family? They are murderers!”
Joseph suddenly turned around and threw away the clothes and the hangers in his hand. He grabbed Isabella’s shoulder and shook her vigorously. He looked fierce and shouted angrily, “Were it not for Michael and his family, my father and my mother wouldn’t have died so early and miserably. I can’t wait to kill his family! They are killers and deserve to die! free𝓌𝗲𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝒆𝙡. 𝑐𝗼m
Joseph was so angry that he was completely out of control. His roars scared Isabella. She didn’t dare to say a word and trembled with fright, tears welling up in her eyes.
Joseph noticed Isabella’s fear and seemed to calm down a little. He pushed Isabella away and turned around to face the wall, gasping for breath. He pressed his fists tightly against the wall and said softly, “I’m sorry, Isabella. I feel a little uncomfortable. Leave me alone.” Joseph couldn’t help the quiver in his voice.
Isabella stared blankly at Joseph’s back.
Isabella wondered why Joseph would suddenly become so strange and terrifying.
“Get out, Isabella!” Joseph ordered her.
.....
Isabella was so shocked that she took a step back. After thinking for a while, she hugged Joseph from behind and rubbed her face against his back. “I won’t go out. I’m sorry, Joseph. I didn’t know you would be so sensitive. Did you think of the past again? Calm down. I won’t talk about Michael anymore.”
Joseph’s body tensed up as if he would push Isabella away at any time. Isabella gently held Joseph’s clenched fists and kissed them. She comforted Joseph, “Think of something else, my dear. For example, where will we go today and where to have delicious food? Just as you said before, we should look forward and not live in the past.”
Joseph closed his eyes and calmed himself down for a long time before turning around. Isabella was still kissing him on the back and fingertips. Seeing that Joseph felt better, Isabella immediately smiled in surprise. “Darling, do you feel better?”
“Yes.”
Joseph looked at Isabella’s bright smile and felt guilty. He suddenly hugged Isabella in his arms and apologized, “I’m sorry, Isabella. I didn’t mean to frighten you just now. You must be scared.”
“I’m not scared. I am just shocked.”
Isabella put her hands around Joseph’s neck. “I should be the one to apologize. I should know you dislike mentioning the past. I am happy that you can return to normal.”
Joseph kissed Isabella on the forehead. “How silly you are. I told you that I would become very dangerous sometimes. Just now, I asked you to leave but you refused. What if I go crazy again? Sometimes, I will lose control and even hurt you.”
Isabella said and laughed happily, “If you hit me, you must feel guilty. Then I can take the chance and force you to do what you dislike doing. For example, I will ask you to eat the food you dislike. In this way, you dare not prevent me from eating my favorite food!”
Joseph laughed and was amused by Isabella.
Isabella closed her eyes and nestled against Joseph’s chest. She let out a sigh of relief and secretly decided that she couldn’t mention Michael and the death of Joseph’s mother again. Otherwise, she would provoke Joseph.
Judging from Joseph’s abnormal reaction this time, Isabella knew she had touched Joseph on the raw. Since she wasn’t clear about what had happened back then, she wouldn’t persuade Joseph anymore and was afraid of making a mistake. As for Charlie’s request, she planned to persuade Joseph from the aspect of the ties of kinship.
Isabella would never mention Joseph’s mother again.
Isabella’s phone rang.
Just as Isabella and Joseph were hugging each other, Isabella got a call. She looked at the Caller ID and immediately jumped up happily. “Jane is calling me!”
Joseph let go of Isabella. “What about entertaining your good friends today? I will pay the bill to thank them for taking care of you for so many years.”
Isabella held the phone and asked, “Really? But don’t you dislike the noise? My friends are all very crazy and wild. For example, last time at the bar, we played a game and asked if you were gay. Sometimes, we are really noisy.”
Joseph patted Isabella’s head and said gently, “It’s OK. Since we’re going to marry, it’s best if we can complement each other in terms of character. Maybe my grandpa is right. I am unpleasant and aloof, so I should learn from you. Let me integrate into your life and...”
Joseph smirked and added, “Without your noisy friends, I might still be a bachelor, right?”
Isabella laughed as she walked into the room to answer the phone. Joseph continued to change his clothes.
Five minutes later, Isabella finished chatting happily with Jane and returned to the cloakroom. She found that Joseph walked around the room only in his underwear. His muscles and six-pack stomach were attractive.
Isabella leaned against the door frame and stared at Joseph with affection. She was overjoyed when she thought that she was about to marry such a handsome man and live a happy life.
Joseph turned around but didn’t notice Isabella’s expression. Instead, he held three sets of clothes seriously and looked hesitant. “Which one do you think is suitable for me today?”
Isabella continued to cast an intense gaze at Joseph. She smiled sweetly and said, “My dear, you look good no matter what you wear.”
Joseph was pleased by Isabella’s words. He smiled happily and then walked over. “You are so sweet. But today will be the first time that I have had a meal with your good friends. Should I wear suits, sportswear, or other casual clothes?”
Isabella stared at Joseph’s collarbones and found they were too tempting. She didn’t hear Joseph’s words carefully and couldn’t help but kiss his collarbones.
Joseph covered his chest and pretended to be surprised. “Isabella, what are you doing? You’ve got a dirty mind. I am naked, so you want to harass me, right?”
