Chapter 285
‘Find the right person and stay together forever.’
Cedric tightened his fingers gradually. But his gaze became gentle again.
Isabella didn’t let him down.
She made a perfect speech.
Isabella turned to Cedric, probably because his gaze was too burning. “What’s wrong, Cedric? Is my opinion too absurd for you?”
“No.”
Cedric lowered her head and picked up a potato. He held back the joy and said, “You said it well.”
After a pause, he smiled and said, “I hope my future wife can think the same way. Otherwise, a man like me will be single forever.”
.....
Isabella couldn’t help but laugh.
“Although you had a lot of girlfriends, I know you are a good person.”
Cedric raised an eyebrow. “How so?”
“Your attitude and temperament made me feel so.”
Isabella took the potato from Cedric’s hand and said, “I’ll take care of the kitchen, why don’t you take a rest?”
“I like to cook too. Let me help out!”
Cedric picked up another potato and began to peel it, “I also like to chat with you, listen to you analyze about me.”
Isabella smiled. “Aren’t you afraid that I will speak ill of you?”
“No, I know you won’t. I like being praised,” Cedric said happily.
Isabella could not help but say, “I think your best quality is honesty. So your future wife won’t mind that you have a list of friends with benefits. And you said you could do anything for your wife, so you would certainly be loyal, right?”
“Absolutely!”
“Marriage is a combination of responsibilities and love. My morality is fine. I swear with the offspring of the Stretton family.” Cedric said proudly.
“I see, I see.” Isabella suddenly thought of Jane. She secretly said, “Cedric, how do you think about...”
“About what?”
“Cedric, didn’t you say that you wish your future wife has a similar figure and hairstyle as me?” Isabella pulled at her hair.
“Yes.”
A hint of joy flashed through Isabella’s eyes. “What if she is a bit active, but doesn’t mess around and knows when to be serious?”
When Cedric heard this, she looked at Isabella meaningfully. There was a hint of expectation in her eyes. “Of course, as I said, I like outgoing and interesting girl.”
“She studied art and had a boyfriend. She was younger than you. Just like me. Is that okay?” Isabella gestured.
Looking at Isabella’s flushed and excited face, Cedric suddenly guessed Isabella suddenly understood his intention. So he narrowed his eyes, and asked, “No problem at all ... So?”
“I have a good friend!”
Isabella grabbed Cedric’s sleeve happily. “She is beautiful and crazy. She is about the same height as me and she studies art. When do you want me to introduce her to you?”
“Your best friend?”
Cedric pursed her lips and said with a smile, “Let’s talk about it later when I’m not busy. I have to attend the blind date my family arranged for me tomorrow.”
“You can see it as a blind date too!” Isabella was a little anxious. She did not want a man as good as Cedric to be snatched away by another girl.
Cedric raised an eyebrow. “Unless I can bring a woman to my parents and tell them I have a fiancée. Otherwise, I won’t be able to escape the blind date tomorrow! My grandfather, my great grandfather... everyone is waiting for my marriage!”
Isabella wrinkled her nose. “I see.”
Cedric looked meaningfully at Isabella. “What’s wrong?”
“Don’t agree to her tomorrow.” Isabella thought about it, “My best friend is really good. You should give her a chance, and also give you a chance.”
Cedric looked at Isabella’s conflicted expression, smiled, and rubbed her head. “Alright, I’ll promise you. Move aside now, I’ll cook.”
Isabella immediately said, “Nah, I’m the cook today. We said it!”
Cedric pushed Isabella away. “Why don’t you help me out? As the host, I should cook for you today. You can cook for me in the future.”
Isabella was touched. “Cedric, that’s so nice of you!”
Cedric smiled, a bright light flashing in his eyes.
Cedric’s phone rang.
Isabella reminded, “Your phone rang.”
Cedric wiped her hands. Seeing that it was Joseph, he picked up her phone in a good mood, “Hello? Did you get hit by that heroine again?”
“Cedric, I need your help.”
Hearing Joseph’s tone, Cedric immediately became serious. Then, he smiled at Isabella and walked into the living room with her phone. “What can I do for you?”
“I know that West District is under the control of the Stretton family. Can you find a person for me? She is called Miss Ghost!”
Cedric was stunned. “What happened?”
“My fox...”
Joseph lowered his voice, “My fox ran away from home last night and went to West District. She might have been taken away by a person called Miss Ghost.”
“What? How can you let a girl go to that place alone? Do you know how chaotic it could be at night?” Cedric asked excitedly.
“Stella committed suicide yesterday...”
Joseph’s voice was filled with guilt. “I was indeed negligent,” he said.
Noticing the worry in Joseph’s tone, Cedric stopped criticizing him. “Don’t worry, I will ask Peter to send you the specific address and range. I don’t like that Miss Ghost recently either. If she provokes you, do whatever you want!”
Hanging up the phone, Cedric found Isabella standing next to the door frame looking at him.
“Did I scare you?”
Cedric’s expression softened. “It was a friend asking for a favor. Don’t be afraid.”
Isabella shook his head. “The Miss Ghost you just mentioned is exactly the woman who wanted to take me away last night, right?”
“Yes.”
Cedric nodded and smiled. She stood up and hugged Isabella. “It’s fine now. Don’t worry. I won’t let you in that kind of danger again. Let’s go on cooking.”
...
At a hair salon in the West District, which was busy at night and gloomy during the daytime.
Seeing Gerry enter with a group of bodyguards in black, several girls dressing fancy screamed in fear.
Miss Ghost was dragged out of the inner room by a bodyguard.
She let out a scream after being thrown on the ground.
Miss Ghost screamed, “What are you doing? Did I offend you? Why are you guys so rude?”
