Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife

297 I Didn’t Expect You to Be Here

At that time Dorothy was very jealous of Isabella.

Just now, when Dorothy saw Isabella, who looked very beautiful in a red dress, Dorothy’s jealousy was awakened again.

Dorothy thought, “Isabella is dressed so gorgeously. With her good-looking face, she looks charming and appealing. I’m wearing a white dress and I don’t look as good as she does.

Just now when Isabella entered the door, all the men looked at her with astonishment. Even Zachary, the most rakish man in Peace City, walked up to her as soon as he saw her. He looked like he was trying to impress her.

I must do something to anger this hypocritical woman.

I will never allow Cedric to be with Isabella. Once Isabella’s status is elevated, she will definitely give us a hard time.”

“Leave me alone.”

Isabella did not want to say anything to Dorothy who said something without reason. Isabella picked up her plate and was about to leave.

Dorothy said, “Your mother is a mistress. Do you think the Strettons will accept you if they know about this? You really overestimate yourself. How dare you come to such a dating party?

.....

“Your father got a lot of people killed for petty profits. Do you think anyone will accept you living in such a family? Stop daydreaming!”

After hearing that, Isabella frowned. Isabella turned to look at Dorothy and said, “Dorothy, I know what is in your mind. You can go to make Mr. Cedric fall in love with you if you want to do that. There are so many people in the venue, so be careful that your dirty thoughts will be discovered by others.”

Dorothy smiled and said, “That day, when we were discussing Mr. Cedric’s photo, your mother came over to take a look. We couldn’t chase her away no matter how hard we tried. So she really did it for you.

“Your mother can’t change her nature. As soon as she sees a rich man she can’t wait to flatter him.”

“If you say anything bad about my mother again, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Dorothy then let out a scream.

Isabella couldn’t bear it anymore and she spilled the coffee in her hand on Dorothy.

Dorothy’s white dress was dyed coffee-colored. All the attention was instantly focused on Dorothy and Isabella. It was quiet.

“Why did you spill coffee on me?”

Dorothy covered her face and said in a pitiful tone, “I just reminded you to eat less or your makeup will be messed up. Why are you so angry? Did I do something wrong?”

Sarah and Sandra immediately walked up to Dorothy and put on an act to hold Dorothy up. Sarah said, “Isabella, how can you do that? You are good friends.”

“Why are you getting fiercer and fiercer?” Sandra echoed.

Dorothy said weakly, “I’m fine. It’s my fault.”

At that moment, Isabella knew that Dorothy, Sarah, and Sandra had colluded.

Dorothy was not beautiful and Dorothy, Sarah, and Sandra needed to figure a way out to attract the attention of today’s host.

They would do everything they could to get what they wanted.

All in all, the look of being weak, innocent, and being bullied was better than the look of being angry and ungracefully.

At that moment, everyone fixed their eyes on Isabella, Dorothy, Sarah, and Sandra.

In the eyes of others, Isabella was the bad girl who bullied others, while Dorothy, Sarah, and Sandra had become the pitiful girls who were bullied.

As the surrounding people discussed, Isabella realized that she had gone too far. However, she knew that she would do the same thing if she was given another chance.

How many daughters in the world could tolerate others insulting their parents in front of them?

Isabella knew that she couldn’t stay in this place anymore and she had to leave.

The people who were chattering around suddenly fell silent. When Isabella heard someone call out “Mr. Cedric” a few times, her scalp suddenly tingled.

Cedric, the male master of the Stretton family and host of the dating party, came.

A condescending old butler-like man walked up to Isabella and said, “This young lady.

“Our dance party is about to begin. Mr. Cedric is already preparing to pick a dancing partner. If you still have some personal matters to attend to, you can leave now.”

Although the old man’s tone was friendly, Isabella know the meaning behind his words.

Isabella thought, “It’s a dating party, but I spilled the coffee on someone before it starts. It’s my fault.”

Some people around Isabella discussed and cast blame on her.

“Miss, are you alright? Do you need me to arrange a room for you to change your clothes?”

The old butler had already arranged for someone to bring Sarah and Sandra to clean the wine stains on their clothes. Seeing Dorothy nod with tears in her eyes, everyone felt pity for her.

Isabella bowed and said, “I am sorry.”

Since Isabella felt very embarrassed, she lowered her head and was about to leave.

Just as Isabella walked to the door, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, someone had already grabbed her wrist. “Miss, if it is possible, can I invite you to dance for the first dance tonight?” The voice was a little shaky because of the excitement.

When Isabella heard this familiar voice, she turned around in surprise and said, “Ce...”

“I am Cedric.”

A smile appeared on Cedric’s handsome face. Although Cedric’s tone was calm, Isabella felt a slight tremor in his hand holding her wrist. “Nice to meet you,” Cedric said.

The people around were shocked at first, then they cheered. The arrogant old housekeeper was slightly stunned and then immediately announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s ball officially begins. I hope you can have a pleasant night!”

Cedric held Isabella’s hand and took her into the middle of the stage.

Music sounded. Cedric and Isabella began dancing. Isabella looked around and whispered, “Cedric, why are you here?

“Is this the party you’re attending tonight too?”

Cedric narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “I thought you would be deep in the pain of lost love. I didn’t think you could go to a dating party with such ease.”

Isabella pursed her lips and said, “My mother told me that I can’t put all my eggs in one basket. The world is full of men.”

Cedric was amused by what Isabella said.

Cedric was also a little surprised. Cedric said, “What you said is reasonable. You have a good mother.”

“Before I came here, I didn’t know who the organizer of this dating party is. So it turns out that you are the organizer of it.”

After a pause, Isabella blushed and said, “I should have guessed it. But because I heard that you were going on a blind date tonight, I never thought that you are the organizer of this dating party. I was stuck as-is. Your house is so big and beautiful.”

“It seems you don’t know me very well.”

Isabella nodded and said honestly, “What I know about you is limited to what I remember from my childhood. I knew you were born into a wealthy family, but I didn’t expect you to be so rich.”

Cedric said with tenderness in his eyes, “This is probably fate...”

“Isabella!”

Zachary danced as he put his arm around a beauty’s shoulder, saying, “Well, you got to dance with today’s host as you wish. I want to dance with you later. I book it in advance!”

Cedric held onto Isabella and stepped to the side, saying, “You can’t dance with her.”
