Chapter 284
“You will graduate soon. What are your plans after graduation?” Cedric washed his hands beside Isabella while she was washing vegetables.
“I planned to get married...”
Isabella paused for a moment and continued, “I don’t have any special plans right now.”
Cedric was stunned. “You were going to get married after graduation? You and that man have already reached the stage of talking about marriage?”
“I guess so...”
“Isn’t that a little ridiculous? We have only known each other for less than a month. We didn’t really know each other that well. But I was ready to marry him.”
Cedric said coldly, “It is indeed. It looks like he’s good at pleasing girls. I can’t believe that he could persuade you to marry him in such a short time.”
“No, not really.”
.....
Thinking of Joseph’s arrogance, Isabella laughed bitterly. “He said we are a perfect match. He told me that his grandfather likes me very much and hopes to have a grandchild. I trusted it. I was stupid.”
Isabella lowered her head. “He never said that he loved me. He didn’t seem to like me that much...”
“He just wants a woman to give him a child.”
Cedric concluded, “This kind of man is selfish and self-centered. Marrying you and having a child with you are his family’s ideas. He will not treat you as a person in the future. You should be glad that his ex-girlfriend ruined everything. Otherwise, your life will be destroyed by him.”
Isabella stopped cutting the vegetables and stared at Cedric.
“What are you thinking?”
Cedric paused. He immediately understood what Isabella meant. He reached out and scratched her nose. “Although my family and I want a child too, I would never marry someone I don’t love. I’ll do anything for my wife.”
Isabella laughed. “You sounded like you were experienced.”
“I won’t cheat, nor would I mess with my ex-girlfriends.”
Cedric continued to attack Isabella’s ex-boyfriend. “Before we get married, I will make a list of all the girls I have dated and showed it to my wife. So she’ll know everything about my past.”
“Make a list?” Isabella was surprised. “Are there a lot of names?”
“They come from different countries. In terms of sex partners, I prefer foreign girls. They are more open towards this kind of thing.”
Cedric smiled, “As for how many there are, I can’t remember clearly. However, I have photos of each of them. Sometimes, it was just physical. And the relationship wouldn’t last for long.”
Isabella bared her teeth. “Well, I guess they were not your girlfriends. They were just friends with benefits.”
“Maybe.”
Cedric shrugged, not minding it at all. “I don’t think it’s a shameful thing to have one-night-stands. Although I could help myself. Compared with real sex, masturbation is just a snack. And it’s not healthy. I was always wondering, so how about girls? Don’t you feel horny sometimes?”
“Well...”
Isabella’s face turned red in an instant.
Cedric spoke like a physiology teacher who was giving lectures to his students. He was calm and reasonable.
However, Isabella felt awkward talking about sex. After all, she didn’t grow up abroad like Cedric.
Cedric was thirty years old. He was a mature man. Looking at Isabella’s red face, he smiled. “What about you? How many boyfriends have you had?”
Isabella pursed her lips, not daring to look up. “If Joseph counts, then only one ... We didn’t date. We disliked each other and then we married. That was it.”
“I see.”
Cedric nodded, “It seems that Joseph treated you as a sex partner or a bedmate. He has never truly loved you. But what about you? Did you ask him for sex?”
Isabella blushed again.
Cedric’s question made her embarrassed.
“I thought about it.”
“But I failed.” Isabella’s ears were red.
Cedric was stunned. Looking at the side of Isabella’s face, he suddenly wanted to hold her in his arms...
‘Poor child...’
‘The man couldn’t even satisfy her. He is so useless.’
‘He deserved to lose her!’
‘Fortunately, he lost her!’
Cedric wouldn’t care much about his wife’s past, but he still felt a little unhappy to hear that.
“Sorry, maybe I shouldn’t bring up the topic.”
Cedric smiled, “Girls here are relatively shy. It seemed like you guys are not very used to talking about such topics? Forgive me.”
“It’s alright...”
“But I still want to ask you one thing. Would you mind it if your future husband had many partners, just like me?”
In fact, this was the topic that Cedric wanted to ask the most today.
Although he would be honest with his future wife, he also wanted to confirm her attitude about his partners in advance, so that he could make some preparations.
He wished she wouldn’t mind it.
If she couldn’t, he’ll have to change himself and apologize to her.
Hearing Cedric’s words, Isabella instantly remembered how Joseph held Stella’s hand in the hospital and how he kissed her.
“I do, I do...”
“I actually hope that my future husband will belong to me only, both mentally and physically!” Isabella confirmed.
Cedric was stunned.
“But things can’t be as perfect as imagined.”
“After all, we didn’t know each other before,” Isabella said with a heavy gaze. “He wasn’t in my life and vise versa. We’ll never know if the person we met now is the one we’re going to spend our whole life with. I believed he was the one for me and I trusted him until I found out that he had an ex-girlfriend. We know what is right and what is wrong only after the thing happened.”
Isabella raised her eyes. Although her expression was a little bitter, her eyes were still full of hope as she looked at the distance. “No one is perfect. People make mistakes. So I mind it. But I’ll accept it. The most important thing is that he could only see me when after I entered his life, that we belong to each other only for the times to come.”
