Cedric looked at her watch, “It’s already past 3 o’clock. Even if you ate dinner at 7 o’clock, 8 hours have passed.”

Isabella nodded and brought the poached egg and milk over, “You can cook?”

“I like cooking.”

“My cooking is not bad. You can have a try,” Cedric said proudly.

Isabella smiled, “Your girlfriend is lucky.”

Cedric blinked and smiled, “No, I had never cooked dinner for any of my girlfriends. Besides my wife and mother, I will not cook dinner for any women.”

Isabella chewed the poached egg and suddenly felt awkward.

‘Poached egg and milk are not dinners, right? It’s awkward. It is indeed abrupt to stay at Cedric’s house.’

.....

“To me, the girlfriend is sex partner, but the wife is family. It is my responsibility to let my girlfriend feel comfortable and enjoy herself. But my love can only be given to my wife.”

“Isabella, do you still fear?” Cedric looked at Isabella.

“What?” Isabella was surprised.

“Your hand is trembling,” Cedric blinked, “You’ve been shaking ever since I pulled you.” He gently held Isabella’s hand.

Isabella looked down and saw that she was trembling.

Probably because she was too tense, she did not even notice this detail.

“No, it might be...”

“Maybe I am too nervous.” Isabella pursed her lips.

“I saw everything.”

Cedric looked at Isabella, “I saw you when you were picked up by that hooligan, but I was not sure at that time. When I followed up, I found out that you were taken away by Miss Ghost.”

Isabella’s face turned pale and she lowered her head.

Yes, she was indeed scared.

She didn’t dare to imagine what would happen to her if she was taken away by those hooligans. She didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if she was brought into the small barbershop by Miss Ghost, a human trader.

If Cedric didn’t appear, she might have become that kind of girl that he mentioned and was currently being surrounded by many evil men with ferocious faces.

In that case, no one could help her.

No one would care about her. She became alone again. With Stella, Joseph might not even care about her life, let alone look for her.

If you don’t compare yourself with others, you won’t get hurt. Maybe Joseph did like Isabella a little. But compared to Stella, Isabella was nothing.

Why was she so unlucky? First, it was her father. Then it was Lukas. Now, it was Joseph. All the men she loved had abandoned her.

Cedric looked at Isabella’s pale face and red eyes. He felt his heartache. He reached out to caress and comfort Isabella’s back, “If you feel uncomfortable, then cry out. You will feel better. I will be your family. No matter who bullies you, I will not let him go.”

Isabella looked up at Cedric, “I’m an unlucky person.”

“I don’t care.”

Cedric looked down and wiped away Isabella’s tears. He said gently, “You are only 22 years old. You are still young. Maybe you have experienced many sad things, but you will live a happy life.”

Isabella’s tears flowed down, “Cedric...”

“Your father passed away, but you meet me now.”

“I will love you as same as your father. I will never abandon you. I will always be your family,” Cedric held Isabella’s face and said seriously.

“Cedric...” Isabella choked out.

She could no longer suppress her emotions. She hugged Cedric and burst into tears.

Cedric caressed Isabella’s long hair. He became more serious, “Isabella, I will make you happy.”

Isabella cried for a long time and then slept. She felt someone was pinching her fingers, then she woke up.

Joseph often poked her nose with things when he woke up early or tied her long hair to the head of the bed to tease her. Therefore, she vaguely thought it was Joseph. She mumbled and shook it off, “Get out!”

Then she stretched out her leg and kicked.

She heard a man grunting.

She was surprised and suddenly reacted. She quickly got up from the bed. She saw Cedric clutching her stomach. He forced a smile and said, “Isabella, your leg kick is good. I did not dodge it.”

“Cedric, are you alright?”

Isabella’s face was completely red. She wanted to find a hole to escape. When she kicked Joseph, Joseph was used to being on guard. However, Cedric didn’t know about her. He certainly felt painful.

“I’m fine.”

Cedric looked at his watch, “It’s already 8 o’clock. I come over to ask you if you want me to send you to school.”

Isabella woke up completely, “No. Cedric, you go to work. I don’t need to go to school. I’ll go to my friend’s house later.”

“Go to your friend’s house?”

“Yes.”

“I’m going to graduate. I don’t have any classes, so I don’t need to go to school. I’m afraid he’ll catch me there,” Isabella crawled out of the blanket.

Cedric raised his eyebrows, “Catch you? Your ex-boyfriend?”

“Probably.”

“He doesn’t have a good temper. If I leave without permission, he might get angry,” Isabella scratched her head and said.

“Didn’t he abandon you and reconcile with his ex-girlfriend?”

Isabella said awkwardly, “Maybe he doesn’t want me anymore, but his grandfather likes me a lot. He doesn’t want to offend his grandfather, so he might catch me back.”

Cedric sneered and became serious, “Isabella, you go to school. I will protect you. I want to see how powerful he is. If he dares to come and catch you today, I will not let him go.”

Isabella looked at Cedric and smiled, “I don’t want you to get into a conflict with him. It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Although we are separated, I don’t want to have a feud with him.”

As she spoke, she got up and lifted the sheet.

Cedric thought for a moment and said, “Okay. I won’t make trouble for you. Then he won’t find trouble with you based on these inexplicable reasons.”

“Great.”

Cedric looked at Isabella and asked, “Why did you lift the sheet?”

Isabella blushed and said awkwardly, “I didn’t bring other clothes. I slept on your bed with my coat. I want to wash your sheets.”

Cedric looked at Isabella’s flushed face and smiled, “I don’t mind. Part-time workers will clean it. Did you just say you were going to stay at a friend’s house?”
