40 Beethoven and “Jingle Bells”
The big wall clock alongside them made a regular sound. The air reeked off a faint smell of cigars that came from Joseph.
This special smell mixed with his evil and aggressive male aura, which made Isabella extremely nervous.
“Last night...” Joseph said.
“If you want to smoke, let me help you!”
Before Joseph could speak, Isabella interrupted him, being afraid that Joseph would mention the fact that she hit him.
“My grandfather doesn’t allow me to smoke in your presence.”
Joseph tilted his eyes and sneered, “Isabella, you really want to set me up every second...”
“No!”
Isabella hurriedly denied, “How could I be so immoral? I didn’t know that Charlie is so upright! Don’t think so badly of me! Take it easy!”
.....
“Take it easy...” Joseph snorted coldly, “Take what easy? Well, you remind me. Since I’m bored, why don’t we have something exciting?”
“Exciting?”
Isabella paused. An arm hooked around her and she was pulled into Joseph’s embrace.
“No smoking, no talking. You happen to be a woman. It looks like we can only do one thing in the ten minutes.”
After saying that, he directly held Isabella’s head and kissed her...

Isabella goggled at Joseph in disbelief. What he meant was ... sex?
Holy shit. This scoundrel was kissing her hard on purpose!
Half a minute later, Isabella finally pushed Joseph away. “What are you doing? What if someone sees us?”
“Can we do it if nobody sees us?”
Joseph stared straight at Isabella’s red and swollen lips with his cold eyes, “Gerry won’t let anyone enter the room without my permission.”
Isabella blushed, “Of course we can’t! This is school and there are a lot of people outside! You....”
Before Isabella could finish her protest, she was suddenly pressed down on the sofa by Joseph who had lost his patience.
“Isabella! How dare you yell at me? You sit beside me for at least three minutes, yet you don’t mention anything about last night! You hit me. Don’t you remember?”
Sure enough, he still remembered that.
“I’m sorry! That was a misunderstanding!”
Isabella’s advantage was that she knew when to eat humble pie and when to hold her head high. Thus, she immediately begged for mercy, “You want to drown me! I just want to save myself! I’m afraid that you’ll kill me in anger. Everyone has a desire to survive. What I did is just a normal person’s reaction!”
Hearing this, Joseph’s gaze darkened before he finally let go of Isabella.
“....”
Isabella let out a long sigh of relief as she sat up. However, her leg was still on Joseph’s waist. It seemed that he could something to her at any time, so she didn’t dare to move.
She thought for a moment and carefully diverted Joseph’s attention. “It was my fault yesterday. Will you forgive me? I’ll play the piano and sing to you to help you kill this boring ten minutes?”
After a moment of silence, Joseph finally gave way to her.
Isabella was delighted, “What do you want to hear? I don’t know much. If there’s no special request, I’ll play some happy songs.”
Joseph picked up the teacup and brushed away the tea leaves gracefully and arrogantly. He said coldly, “Whatever you want.”
Isabella knew clearly that Charlie could go into this room at any time and Joseph would not really do anything to her for about ten minutes...
However, Joseph’s expression was so cold that it seemed he would kill someone in any minute.
Isabella was afraid of him. Every minute with him was a torture.
Therefore, she thought of a way to spend the ten minutes when she saw the grand piano next to her.
“Well, then I’ll start.”
Isabella sat by the piano and then cleared her throat. “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way....”
“What?”
Before Joseph could drank his tea, he said angrily, “Isabella!”
“What ... what’s wrong?”
Isabella was frightened and stopped moving. She really didn’t know why Joseph suddenly blew cold. She hurriedly said, “You don’t like this? I can play another one! ‘Three Little Kittens’? ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm’?”
Joseph stared at Isabella as if he had seen a ghost. Isabella couldn’t help but tremble. She was so scared that she cried, “Then what do you want to hear? Why don’t you just choose you like?”
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
Joseph shouted, “Play a world famous song for me! Beethoven! Mozart! If you can’t play them, then play the nearest pop song! If you dare to insult my intelligence with these retarded things again, no one can save you!”
“Beethoven? Mozart?”
Isabella said with a dejected face, “So you like this kind of classy music, but I can’t. My mother used to teach children music, and all that I can play are children’s songs!”

Joseph’s handsome face turned red from anger, and he clenched his fists.
Probably no one had ever let him suffer like this. He stood up and walked over. Isabella screamed in fear and was pulled aside by him. “Get lost!”
“My ass!”
Isabella was swung to the side and her butt hit the piano hard. She winced in pain and couldn’t help but have tears in her eyes. She felt wronged.
What’s wrong with children’s songs? How could Joseph insult people like this? Rosa’s early childhood music education had always been highly respected.
Before she could finish cursing, she heard a smooth and powerful piano piece flowing out from Joseph’s fingertips...
“That sounds good...”
Isabella’s eyes widened in shock. Seeing Joseph’s slender and powerful fingers jump on black and white keyboards swiftly and orderly, she had forgotten all her complaint.
“The third Chapter of Beethoven’s ‘Fate Symphony’.”
Playing the piano seemed to delight Joseph. He explained, “My personal favorite piece of music.”
Joseph indulged himself in the music, looking solemn. After taking off his suit, he was only in a black shirt.
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a bronze forearm.
The golden diamond watch and the ruby ring on his pinky finger danced along with his hand, giving off an enchanting radiance.
Isabella swallowed and secretly glanced at Joseph.
He closed his eyes and didn’t need to look at the keys at all. His face was handsome and charming. His waist was straight and elegant. His collar was open with two buttons, revealing his sexy apple and collarbone. His black hair gently swayed as he moved...
Isabella had discovered the fact that Joseph was very handsome long ago.
But normally, he was evil, cold, domineering, and arrogant.
All the disparaging words for arrogance and rudeness didn’t seem to go too far on him, so he was not well-liked.
But when he closed his eyes and simply enjoyed music, those things disappeared.
He was like a real prince, elegant, noble, charming...
