Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife

432 Don’t You Dare to Cheat on Me!

“It seems that you’re destined to meet me,” said the blond man.

“Well then, may I invite you to have a coffee with me?” he asked with a tempting smile.

Isabella shook her head and rejected him, who reminded her of Platt. She got out of the car and said, “Thank you, but I need to take care of my injured friend.”

“I can give you a ride.”

As soon as the blond man finished speaking, his phone rang. After hanging up the call, he wailed, “Oh no, I forgot. I still have an important dinner to attend tonight. I have to pick a proper suit now. Well, it seems that we have to say goodbye here. Please be careful.”

“Thank you,” said Isabella.

“By the way, a friendly reminder for you.”

The blond man fastened his seat belt again and said to Isabella through the window, “Watch out for Cedric. There will be consequences now that you offend him. Honestly speaking, I suggest you apologize to him. Cedric is said to be relatively kind to women. I assume that he won’t be too mean to you if you give in to him.”

“I see, thank you for the advice.”

.....

Isabella bowed to thank him. The blond man smiled gracefully and drove away.

Isabella looked at the bustling streets and fell silent.

At this time, Isabella’s phone rang.

She saw it was Joseph’s call and picked it up.

“I heard you sneaked out today,” Joseph said directly.

Joseph said in a mischievous tone, “Who are you with today? Why didn’t you tell me about it? Don’t you dare to cheat on me, remember?”

Hearing Joseph’s teasing voice, she couldn’t be amused as usual. She bit her lower lip and said, “Joseph, I...”

“Don’t mind.”

Joseph said understandingly, “I know you want more free time. If you would like to hold a bachelorette party with your friends, I will support you. I happen to have some troublesome business to deal with right now, so I got to settle that down first this afternoon. I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that I can’t accompany you this afternoon. Maybe another day. I’m sorry. You just go ahead and have fun.”

Isabella was silent for a moment before she said, “You can’t accompany me this afternoon. Joseph, can you tell me...”

“And by the way, there is one important thing I should’ve told you earlier. The results of your mother’s examination came out. There was an old fracture on her shoulder. As you said, her shoulder was injured before.”

Isabella immediately said anxiously, “Is it serious? Which hospital is she in now?”

“It’s not serious. Don’t be nervous. I have already hired the best orthopedic doctor to treat her.” Joseph comforted her, “The doctor said that it was not a big problem. The injury won’t affect her daily life unless she needs to use a lot of strength. And it will soon be healed after a short period of treatment. Okay, that’s all. What were you trying to ask me?”

Isabella suddenly became very hesitant to ask.

Just like what she said to Cedric, she would never believe that Stella was pregnant with Joseph’s child unless she heard Joseph admit it. But now she was afraid that Joseph would confirm it.

David said, “To look on the bright side, you’ll be his only legitimate wife. A man as wealthy and powerful as Joseph can hardly be loyal to one woman after all.”

Cedric said, “Joseph might love you, but it’s normal for a man like him to have a few lovers.”

Isabella closed her eyes and thought of Platt, Zachary, and Jayden’s usual conduct. They were always surrounded by several lovers. She felt a pang in her heart.

She wondered whether she should be a so-called smart woman who would keep her mouth shut at the right time, pretending to know nothing about the child Joseph and Stella might be having. Indeed, to act this way could offer her a carefree life where her mother could live in a big house and they could get out of the shadow of being abused.

Deep down, a voice told her to ask Joseph about it. Yet another voice told her that it would be better to know nothing than to get a disappointing and painful answer.

She felt that she had been too obsessed with Joseph. It hadn’t been long since they began to date, yet she had already lost her mind in his love. She couldn’t stand the idea that Joseph might leave her or cheat on her. She wasn’t sure whether she should keep the question to herself.

It was probably because Isabella had been silent for too long that Joseph quickly comforted her, “Isabella, your mother is really fine. Don’t worry too much.”

“Yeah, I understand,” Isabella said with a forced smile, “I forgot what I wanted to ask you. I’ll tell you when I remember.”

“Alright, we have a very tight schedule today. Uncle Michael and the others will come home tonight. And we need to host a welcoming dinner for them in Wilson Manor. You may need to dress up properly. Tomorrow, I will take you to visit your mother.”

“Okay, let’s do as you say,” replied Isabella.

“Have fun. Call me if you need anything.”

“Alright, you just focus on your work. Don’t worry about me.”

At last, Isabella couldn’t gather enough courage to ask about Stella’s pregnancy.

After hanging up Joseph’s call, Isabella contacted Platt. Hearing that he was in the hospital checking his injuries, she hurried to the hospital.

Although he was beaten up hard, the injuries were not very serious. While the doctor helped him apply medicine to his wounds and bandage the wounds, Platt was still cursing Cedric who took advantage in the fight since Cedric was taller and stronger. Seeing that he was quite vibrant, Isabella felt a little relieved. She helped him pay for the treatments and bought the medicine he needed. Then she comforted him patiently. Platt was finally soothed.

Soon, the afternoon had passed.

At dusk, Isabella went back to Wilson Manor exhaustingly and found that the manor had been well-decorated.

Isabella took a piece of snack in the box by the door and chewed on it slowly, feeling its sweet flavor filling her mouth. She felt somewhat relaxed and let her mind wander while leaning against the door.

William walked over and reminded her, “Mr. Joseph’s second uncle, Mr. Michael, has arrived at Peace City this afternoon. And other family members would come with him at around 6 o’clock. I have already had the stylist in position. Ms. Isabella, do you want to try the dresses on?”

“Okay.”

Isabella looked at the clock on the wall and shook away her frustration for now. She asked, “What kind of person is Mr. Michael? Is there anything I need to pay extra attention to when we first met?”

William smiled and said, “There is no need for you to mind his temper or attitude towards you at all. As long as you greet and treat him according to the etiquette, you can leave everything else to Mr. Joseph and just enjoy your meal.”

Isabella nodded thoughtfully. “I know a little about the conflict between Joseph and Michael, but how about Charlie’s attitude towards Michael? I heard that Michael is not favored, but judging from the arrangements here, Charlie still cares about Michael a lot.”

William thought for a while before he said, “From my point of view, Mr. Charlie values his children in different ways.”

“Joseph told me that the reason why the family business was inherited by him was because of Michael’s ill personality and low sense of morality.” “Did Michael do anything outrageous? Or was he not competent enough?” Isabella continued to ask.
