Chapter 227
With that, she hung up.
Isabella shrugged her shoulders. After talking to Angelina, she checked the time and headed to the crew of “Meet You, Love You”.
At the same time, in King’s Luxury, a high-end residential zone located in the city center.
Rosy had just hung up the phone when she turned around and saw Lukas enter. She was stunned. “Lukas...”
Lukas was stunned. “Why did you call Isabella?”
“Well, that is...”
“Rosy!”
Lukas stepped forward and grabbed Rosy’s wrist. “You promised me. Don’t be so tough on Isabella! The past is past!”
.....
Rosy’s expression changed when she heard Lukas’ words. “Why are you so agitated? I was just calling my sister. What makes you think I’m treating her badly?”
Lukas’s eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyes. “Sorry, I just...”
Rosy pouted and burst into tears. “You get all edgy every time you talk about Isabella. I’m your fiancée, and we’re getting married in half a month!”
Lukas reached out to pull Rosy into his arms and kissed her forehead. “I’m really sorry, Rosy. I just don’t want you to keep dwelling on the past, which is bad for you and bad for the baby.”
Rosy wrapped her arms around Lukas’s waist and said in a wronged tone, “I know you were upset about Jane. Isabella did take care of you when you were in a coma, but she hasn’t been here since she heard you would never wake up!”
“I know, it’s my fault. I don’t mean to let you down.”
Lukas hurriedly wiped Rosy’s tears and coaxed her, “Don’t be angry, my dear.”
Rosy pouted. “Forget it. Why are you back so early today?”
“I’m a little tired. Why are you at home?”
“Well, something happened to Sarah and the others. I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I came back early.”
Rosy took off Lukas’s coat and said thoughtfully, “How can you not be tired when you’re so busy with acting and running the company?”
Lukas touched Rosy’s hand and smiled. “I’m fine. This is what I should do.”
Rosy immediately leaned into Lukas’s arms and pressed his big hand on her abdomen. “Our baby and I are your strong backing.”
Lukas also smiled, but there was no happiness in his eyes. He touched Rosy’s head. “Don’t tire yourself. Go and relax for a while.”
“By the way, Lukas, have you ever heard of the name Angelina Wilson?” Rosy asked, “It sounds familiar, but I can’t remember.”
“Angelina Wilson?” Lukas thought for a moment. “I’m not sure if I know her. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Rosy lowered her eyes and smiled. “I was just asking.”
...
That night Isabella cheerfully returned to the Wilson Manor, cheerfully had dinner, and cheerfully knocked on Joseph’s study door.
Joseph was sitting inside, looking at the ruby ring in his hand in a daze.
He had been brooding over last night.
He did find Isabella cute in the kitty outfit, but he was a little caught off guard by the special emotions he had after seeing her cuteness.
He badly wanted her at that time.
But that was not physical desire. At that moment, he had a desire to make her a part of his body and a part of his life.
His possessiveness was so sentimental and came in a way it had never been before.
He began to feel something inside him that he was somewhat resistant to. He had been thinking about the future all day...
The future? The future with Isabella...
There was a sudden knock on the door. Joseph recovered himself and picked up the documents.
“What are you doing in here?”
Joseph embarrassed himself in front of Angelina last night, so he’s been cold today and he turned distant from Isabella.
However, this did not affect Isabella at all.
Isabella bent over the table, poking her head at Joseph. She said excitedly, “Mr. Joseph, do you want to take a look at my childhood photos?”
Joseph didn’t even raise his head. “Before you make a request, shouldn’t you first explain about the things on my table?”
On Joseph’s table, there was an ornament that did not match his study style.
It was a fist-sized, purple imp with dark purple wings and horns on the head.
It was bare-bellied, and though it was chubby, its face was angry and ferocious.
Isabella immediately said sincerely, “It really looks like you when you lose your temper ... When I saw it, I immediately felt that it was perfect for you! So I couldn’t help buying it, and it cost more than 30!”
Isabella poked the imp’s stomach with her hand and blushed. “Although it is an imp, it’s very cute!”
Joseph looked at Isabella. He thoughtfully scanned Isabella up and down. His eyes rested for a moment on her fingers, her brow, her lips, and her ears. Then, he asked, “You just talked about photos?”
Isabella immediately said, “I can show you, but can you not throw this imp away?”
Joseph raised his eyebrows and started writing. “I can ignore your photo and throw it away.”
Isabella turned a bit frustrated. She stretched her hand and reluctantly took the ornament. “Don’t do it. I’ll take it back myself.”
As soon as Isabella’s hand touched the imp, Joseph suddenly took her hand and his deep eyes reflected a bit of interest. “If you tell me why you’ve been so excited today, I’ll take this and look at your photos.”
Isabella was stunned.
Did she show that she was excited today?
Yes, she was indeed very excited.
Since she found that she liked Joseph and was Joseph’s first girlfriend, she was always excited. This excitement came from the happiness of finding sustenance and hope again and rekindling her inner world.
She couldn’t tell for a while whether the excitement was really about falling in love with someone or finding her haven at last.
However, no matter what, she felt that she did not show it clearly. The only issue was that if someone saw her kissing a photo at school, there might be misunderstandings...
But today, she managed to keep calm in front of Joseph!
“I didn’t, I just...” Isabella rolled her eyes. “I just feel that Angelina helps me find the goal of my life!”
“The goal of life? Okay...”
Joseph sneered. “You can learn a lot from her. Learn how to pick up a man, how to be a woman and how to cheat.”
