Chapter 208
“Yes, our garden is very tremendous, occupying half of the area in the southern suburb, so starving stray dogs often took the risk to steal food. Therefore, Mr. Joseph ordered his servants to open a hole at the edge of the garden to make a dog house for them. If they are hungry and cold, they can come here to take refuge.”
Isabella shockingly looked at Joseph, who had a cold expression on his face. He was touching the wound on the dog’s head with his hands and analyzed it carefully, “It seems like it can survive. Don’t be infected.”
“Yes, thanks to Mr. Joseph, its spirit has lifted a little today. Otherwise, it would have died long ago.”
“Yes, then...” Joseph noticed Isabella’s gaze on his face and said unhappily, “What are you looking at? Am I very strange?”
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Isabella’s face. She stepped forward and grabbed Joseph’s arm, “Mr. Joseph! I didn’t expect you to be so kind!”
“Kind?”
Joseph scoffed, “Charlie has a kind heart. And a few bags of dog food won’t cost much.”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
.....
“But that auntie said it was you who ordered it!”
“Don’t you know it was just a show?”
Isabella continued to say excitedly, “But you know the location of the wound on the dog’s body at once. It means you often come to see them.”
Joseph didn’t say anything and quickly left.
Isabella looked at Joseph’s slightly flushed face and couldn’t help but get excited. “Mr. Joseph! Why do you like to raise stray dogs?”
“Because they are too stupid. Even if skinned, they will think everyone is kind in this world.”
“Can you raise a few stray cats? The one in the garden just now was very pitiful. It was so hungry that only bones remained.”
“No way! I don’t keep cats who have a ghostly face!”
“Wait a minute. Why are you afraid of cats?”
“Who is afraid? Isabella, can you stop pestering me! So annoying!”
“No! Mr. Joseph, don’t leave me behind!”
“Gerry! Get me a car! I want to go out!”
Joseph finally managed to escape under the condition of Isabella’s relentless chasing. However, when Isabella looked at the view of his back, which reflected his anxiety, she felt it was a little interesting.
‘I never thought that Joseph would blush after being praised...’
He looked cold and bad. But it turned out that he was actually very kind and adorable in his soul. Charlie’s special education was indeed great...
Oh no, she suddenly felt that this guy was a little cute.
Cute...
Silly cute.
Cute in contrast.
Tsundere cute.
“So funny!”
Isabella couldn’t help but hold her stomach to laugh. A warm feeling spread from her heart. “Joseph, I seem to have started to understand you a little.”
After two days of “pestering” on the weekend, when Isabella was in class on Monday, there was a stir in her heart.
When she returned to the dormitory for a lunch break, she couldn’t help but ask Jane, “Do you think that if a person was sarcastic and ruthless and also often gives others a cold shoulder, but he also adopts stray dogs. Is he a good person or a badass?”
“You can’t judge a person’s character from his mere attitude to others, right?”
Jane bit on an apple and said, “Of course, adopting stray dogs also cannot be used to judge a person’s character. It only means that the person has a conscience.”
“...”
“Let’s put it this way. Lukas is very gentle, right? He treats people well, right? But do you think he is a good person?”
Jane spat out a mouthful of apple dregs and said angrily, “In my eyes, he is ungrateful and fled from the scene. He is definitely a scam!”
” ... It doesn’t make sense whether you say it or not.”
“Isabella, don’t be speechless. Let me ask you, have you been bewitched by a boy recently? Is it the ‘he’ who signed the contract with Lukas?”
Isabella looked solemnly at Jane. “Jane, you are my best friend, so I have to confess to you today. I don’t know if I have been bewitched, but I am indeed shilly-shallied now.”
After that, other than Joseph’s identity, Isabella told Jane everything that had happened to her.
“I admit that his position is indeed attractive to me.”
Isabella lowered her head and said honestly, “He is willing to give me a legitimate marriage. It looks perfect. Just like he said, in terms of conditions, it was great luck for me to be married to him ... But I just feel that something is wrong ... Jane, am I too emotional?”
Jane stroked her chin and looked at Isabella thoughtfully. “Then do you love him?”
Isabella shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I only started to think about this question recently ... Before, I only thought that he was a fickle man and I need to be careful when interacting with him. I don’t have the idea of whether I like this kind of question.”
Jane narrowed his eyes. “Isabella, you feel inferior.”
“How could that be!”
Isabella hurriedly denied it, but her face turned red, “In many ways, I am indeed very inferior to him. Recently, I found that I haven’t even heard of certain things which he talked about with others.”
“I’m not talking about status. If he really wants to marry you, all of these things can be slowly balanced.”
Jane seemed to see through everything, “Isabella, you feel inferior in terms of love! Because you have no confidence in this man! You don’t think that he will love you! You are afraid that you will not be able to hold him in the future, causing you to walk into a marriage in name only! The happy future that you have been longing for is just a bubble of imagination!”
Isabella looked at Jane in shock. “Jane, you are indeed a master in love. He did say that he could give me wealth and glory, but don’t think about love-related things, because they are all unrealistic things.”
“I know...”
Jane smiled and stretched out two fingers, “There are only three reasons why he doesn’t dare to say that he loves you now.”
1. He is a gay. A fake marriage, understand? In his eyes, as long as he can find a girl who has no background and is easy to control, it will be okay. A silly little girl like you is the most suitable!
Second, he is rather rational because of his work, so he thinks that it is stupid to fall in love, but you are quite pleasing to his eyes in all aspects. If things are like this, you can get married first, and then cultivate your feelings with him in the future. It can be assured that he will be a good man!
3. The worst is that he is a playboy. He hasn’t played enough yet. He married you just to deal with his father. With his own wife at home, he has lots of girlfriends outside. He is the top tier among two-timers!
Isabella nodded repeatedly. “Then what should I do now?”
“If you not only desire money, then the first and third are not advisable. You have to eliminate them.”
“How do I eliminate?”
