Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife

270 Try to Understand Him

“So you compromised?”

Joseph’s eyes flashed. “Stella didn’t want to put me into such a difficult position, so she went abroad.”

Isabella clearly felt that Joseph’s tone was slightly different while saying the last words.

Joseph seemed to be over Stella, but she felt that he still had a sense of loss while talking about their past.

She couldn’t believe Joseph even did self-harm for Stella. What strong determination did he have back then?

Isabella pursed her lips. “What if your Grandpa agreed back then?”

“What a boring question!” Joseph was a little impatient. “Like I said, it’s impossible. My Grandma died because of her Grandfather. How could we be together? She is just my best friend now.”

“So you don’t have any feelings for Stella now?”

“No, of course not. I just feel guilty that she left her hometown because of me.”

.....

Isabella held Joseph’s hand and said seriously, “What if I have a way to convince your Grandpa to agree?”

Joseph immediately said excitedly, “In what way?”

He met her gaze, and Isabella smiled.

Joseph knew that he had been tricked by Isabella and said angrily, “What are you trying to say?”

“What about you? What do you mean?”

Isabella turned around and didn’t want to face Joseph. Joseph also felt that he said something wrong just now. His voice softened and he hugged Isabella from behind. “Forget it! Let’s get some sleep and talk about this tomorrow.”

...

Isabella went to school the next day, thinking about Joseph and Stella along the way.

Her phone rang at the moment.

When Isabella saw that it was a call from the Smiths family, she frowned.

“Hello?”

“Isabella, am I interrupting?”

Hearing Rosa’s voice, Isabella breathed a sigh of relief. “No, Mom. Why did you call me?”

“Are you free this Saturday night? Can you...”

“Rosa, give me the phone.”

Carl’s voice sounded. Isabella instantly became nervous and pretended to be smiling and said, “Dad!”

“There’s a party on Saturday night. You have to attend it!” Carl ordered.

Isabella frowned. “Where is it?”

“In a villa near eastern suburbs. I will text you the specific address.”

“A villa?”

“What party?” Isabella was a little puzzled.

“Blind Date Party.”

Carl said, “The man is the young master of Dragon Head Group, which is a leading enterprise in the design industry. Although he is a little older than you, he is an excellent man. He is single and his parents want him to get married soon. All famous socialites in the town will attend the party. You have to seize the opportunity.”

Isabella heaved a sigh of relief. Judging from the word – “he is a little older than you”, she guessed he might be an old man. It was just a blind date party, so she assumed that the party would not go too far. Anyway, it would be safer than Zachary’s Rave Party.

“Yes, I will.” Isabella said obediently, “I understand.”

“I will pick you up at your school at 7 p.m. on Saturday night.”

“Thank you, Dad.”

Hanging up the phone, Isabella sighed.

How much longer would she endure this?

She thought that she could marry Joseph upon graduation, so no one would force her to go on a blind date any longer. However, Joseph seemed not to be very determined recently, which made her doubt their future...

Luckily, she hadn’t told Carl her relationship with Joseph yet. Otherwise, things would become even more complicated...

Just as she was thinking this, her phone rang again.

Isabella’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing that it was Cedric’s call, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’ve helped you to make an appointment with Mr. Austen today. He is the principal of Peace University of Architecture. He chaired the Golden Pencil Awards on that year. Are you free to have lunch?”

“Yes, I am! No problem!”

She had been in the bad mood recently. Cedric’s good news really made her day. She didn’t expect Cedric would do her such a big favor. She could not help but say, “Cedric, thank you so much!”

“Hold on! It came with a condition.”

Cedric said with a smile, “Well, you have to do something for me in return.”

“Like what?”

Isabella believed that Cedric was not the kind of person who deliberately made a difficulty for her. He knew that she could make it. So she asked, “No problem! I’ll try my best!”

Cedric teased, “You know, my parents are urging me to get married. I know there are some pretty girls in your school. Why don’t you introduce me some?”

Isabella was stunned and then said excitedly, “No problem! What type do you like? I promise I can find you many nice girls. You can go on blind dates all year around. I promise you will find a right person, get married and have a baby by the end of next year!”

“You are good!”

Cedric burst into laughter and said, “I am so happy to hear that. We can talk about this when we meet. I will pick you up at noon. By the way, I have booked a room at the seafood restaurant.”

“Okay! See you!”

Isabella was in a better mood. She saw Jane when she entered the classroom. Jane gossiped, “Isabella, well, about last night, your husband couldn’t just sit by and took you back home in the middle of the night. Did he punish you?”

Isabella knew what she implied. She remembered that Joseph tried to sleep with her several times last night and snorted coldly. “Am I not a woman of principle? If he doesn’t love me, I will not stay with him. I hate men who are playing the field.”

“It looks like you haven’t cooled down yet. Didn’t he admit his mistake?”

“Admit mistakes?”

Isabella was speechless. “He will admit his mistakes when pigs might fly. Well, he explained his past stories with Stella, but apparently he still had feelings for her. How dare he showed this in front of me, which made me freak out!

“In my opinion, childhood sweethearts are indeed troublesome existences.”

Jane patted Isabella on the shoulder. “Just like you and Lukas, even if he has been turned into a scumbag, you didn’t treat him cruelly, did you?”

Isabella was stunned and suddenly felt that what Jane said was reasonable.

Joseph might feel the same about Stella. Although it was impossible for them to get married, they still have feelings left as childhood sweethearts.

Maybe she overreacted, she should not force Joseph to ...

Just as she was thinking about this, she received a message from Joseph and saying that “Call me after class. Let’s have lunch together”.

Isabella felt happier while reading this. She felt that she might get ultra-sensitive. For Joseph, Stella really was just a friend now.
