Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife

325 The Atmosphere Is Subtle

Isabella immediately raised the plate over her head. “Mr. Joseph, I haven’t touched it yet. You can have it all.”

Joseph smiled wickedly. “Thank you. Just give me one piece with the fork.”

Isabella felt that Cedric looked grim. She immediately pierced a piece for Joseph.

Then something happened that surprised everyone.

Joseph did not reach out to take the fork from Isabella’s hand. Instead, he leaned over and opened his mouth to bite the fried crab, glancing at Isabella’s shocked face...

Isabella saw Cedric clench his fists tightly and he yelled, “Joseph!”

“Sorry.”

Joseph smiled wickedly. He bit the crab and returned to his seat. “I just want to prove that all of yours are actually mine.”

Cedric’s face darkened. “We can’t share women although we’re good friends, Joseph.”

.....

Joseph raised his eyebrows and took the crab from Stella’s plate, who looked stunned. “Stella, it takes a lot of effort to dismantle it, right? Let me help you.”

Stella came back to her senses after a long time. “Thank you, Joseph.”

“No problem.”

Joseph always treated Stella gently. He dismantled the crab and Gerry came over to clean up the crab shell. Joseph asked on purpose, “Gerry, did you try to find the phone records that I missed? How did it go?”

Isabella immediately looked over in surprise. Stella’s eyes narrowed.

Gerry paused and clenched his fist. “Yes. But there were no missing call records.”

Joseph was stunned. “No?”

“No.”

Joseph frowned slightly. Although he was speaking to Gerry, his eyes fell on Isabella suspiciously. “Got it. You can leave now.”

“Okay.”

Isabella frowned as well.

Perhaps it was because Joseph’s tone was too serious, or maybe Joseph’s actions of “eating crabs” had upset Cedric. In short, the atmosphere at the dining table had become awkward.

Jayden was the smartest. When he noticed that the atmosphere was a little off, he changed the topic. As he ate, Jayden asked excitedly, “By the way, Cedric, you said that you and Isabella have known each other since you were young. What did Isabella look like in the past?”

Joseph paused.

Cedric finally seemed to be in a better mood. He smiled, and the light in his eyes proved that Cedric was recalling some beautiful memories. “Isabella was a crybaby at that time and a little plump.”

“Don’t say that I was plump.”

Isabella poked Cedric and interrupted him, “Why not tell them the cuteness of me instead? You can’t mention my bad in the past.”

Cedric said deliberately, “It’s fine. I like plump.”

“Are you looking for a fight?”

They laughed out loud. Suddenly, the sound of a collision disrupted them.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Joseph was cutting a crab into pieces. Because of the angle and strength, the knife clicked the plate. The juice on the crab was also sprinkled on the white tablecloth.

“Be careful, Mr. Joseph!”

“What’s the matter, Joseph?”

Stella and Doris asked at the same time with concern.

“It’s fine.”

Joseph frowned and covered the stain in disgust with a piece of napkin. Stella thought about it and took the plate in front of Joseph. “I’ll dismantle it for you. You can eat some other dishes first.”

Isabella paused and pretended not to see what was happening, lowering her head to eat.

The atmosphere became very subtle again. Because of Gerry’s “no record” reply, Isabella was a little distracted, and she seemed to lose her appetite, which was rare to happen.

“What’s wrong? Can’t you finish the food?”

“Do you have no appetite?” Cedric asked with concern.

“Maybe I drank too much beverage.”

“I can’t eat anymore,” Isabella said honestly.

Cedric nodded. “It’s okay. Have some snacks later. I’ll have them prepare some for you.”

Then Cedric took the leftover in front of Isabella and ate it.

“Cedric.”

“Don’t eat it!” Isabella was shocked by Cedric’s actions.

“Why? I’m not full.”

Isabella’s face instantly turned red as she grabbed Cedric’s sleeve. “You know that’s not what I mean. That... That’s the leftover. It’s not clean!”

“Not clean?”

Cedric smiled dotingly. “You are so silly. What’s wrong with me eating your leftover? We are one. How can it be unclean?”

Isabella became totally embarrassed. Although Cedric was gentle to her, she felt that he did all these on purpose today.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a chair being pushed away. Joseph stood up. “Enjoy yourself, everyone.”

Then he left the dinner table.

Cedric lowered his eyes and took a sip of the red wine in his glass with darkness in his eyes.

After the afternoon nap, Joseph and Cedric were fishing.

Isabella heard cheers in the room. She didn’t know the competition had begun until she came out. She lowered her head and looked at Joseph’s and Cedric’s fish baskets. Joseph had more than ten, and Cedric only had seven or eight.

It was easy to tell who was doing better.

When Cedric saw Isabella come out, he smiled and pointed to the seat beside him and said intimately, “You’re finally awake. I thought you wouldn’t get up until dinner time.”

“What are the people in the water doing?”

Isabella saw many people in diving suits swimming around the yacht. “It’s so noisy. Can you get fish this way?”

“They are trying to drive away the groups of fish.”

“It’ll be easier for Joseph and me to compete this way,” Cedric explained.

Rich people really knew how to have fun.

Isabella shook her head helplessly and giggled. “But it is obvious that you lost.”

Isabella looked in Joseph’s direction. He was holding the fishing rod with a cold expression. It was as if he hadn’t seen Isabella at all. Yet, sitting next to him, Stella tilted her beautiful head and greeted Isabella.

Isabella responded with a smile.

“In terms of fishing, I can’t compare to Joseph.”

“I don’t have any chance of winning,” Cedric explained. “I’ll be the one walking on the single-plank bridge later.”

“What is a single-plank bridge?”

“Over there.”

Cedric pointed at it and Isabella saw a wooden board stretching out from the deck and straight into the sea.

“This doesn’t seem to be difficult. It must be exciting to walk on it.”

Cedric smiled, his voice low and gentle. “Although I have a small chance of winning, I still hope you will pray for me to win.”

Isabella sat beside Cedric and nodded.

As soon as Isabella sat down, Cedric raised the fishing rod as a fish took the bait.
