Chapter 290
Isabella felt embarrassed and replied, “That’s enough.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“How about your bra?” Cedric looked at Isabella and laughed, “Idiot, are you embarrassed to tell me?”
Then, Cedric naturally held Isabella’s hand and went to a high-end underwear counter. Cedric casually picked several pairs and asked, “How about this style? If you don’t like it, you can customize it according to your size. You need to choose some or you will wear the same for several days.
The clerk immediately walked over and said with a smile, “This gentleman has good taste. Although this is not custom-made, it is very high-end and comfortable. Look at this fabric, it is smooth. The texture is good. This young lady looks thin but she has big breasts. I think this style is not suitable for her. How about this one with the same fabric? Miss, what’s your size? I can find some for you to try first.”
“It’s small for her? I can’t tell...”
Cedric turned her head and looked at Isabella seriously, especially at her breasts. Then, Cedric asked, “Isabella, what’s your size?”
.....
Cedric asked Isabella with a normal tone and calm face. However, when Isabella saw Cedric was holding that small underwear and asked her such a private question, Isabella instantly blushed.
And, she even pulled back her chest.
Cedric noticed that Isabella did not reply. So Cedric raised his head and looked at Isabella. Isabella behaved unnaturally. Cedric added, “What’s wrong? You don’t like this?”
Isabella thought for a while. She blushed and replied, “For me, this is indeed a little small, and I think I should choose underwear by myself. Cedric, you can rest for a while first.”
Cedric was stunned and suddenly understood why Isabella’s face was red. Cedric had already completely regarded Isabella as a close person in his heart, believing that the two of them could have nothing to say. He didn’t expect the little girl to be shy.
Cedric smiled and said in a doting tone, “Alright, I’ll go out and rest for a while. You can choose this by yourself. I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Yes.”
Cedric walked out of the underwear shop and stood outside the door, looking at Isabella through the glass door.
Isabella picked one. She looked at the label first and said something to the shop assistant. Then, she was surprised and her face turned red.
The clerk must say something that made Isabella a little uncomfortable.
Isabella was very pure. If someone make a joke of her, she would blush quickly even before the one finished telling the joke.
Cedric was unhappy.
Because Cedric thought of that Carl probably often brought her out to socialize with men and even sent her to sleep with old men.
Cedric didn’t and couldn’t imagine that.
In Cedric’s mind, Isabella was so young. She should be at the age where she was loved and protected. Even if Isabella had a boyfriend, she should be attractive and be treasured...
Cedric couldn’t imagine Isabella was used as a tool for men to have fun.
How could Isabella bear the violation and blasphemy of those disgusting men?
Cedric touched his chest. He suddenly felt very angry and sad.
When Isabella met Cedric, Isabella had casually mentioned that Carl didn’t treat her and her mother well but she did not specifically explain how bad it was. Cedric could understand that Carl couldn’t treat Isabella as gentle as his own daughter because Isabella was Carl’s stepdaughter and Carl was a selfish person.
But Cedric also never thought that Carl could treat Isabella so mean and cruel.
When Jayden told Cedric about those things today, Cedric was very angry, but he would not think that Isabella was a bad girl as the others thought.
On the contrary, Cedric pitied her even more.
No wonder Isabella wanted to investigate the truth of the bombing at Slike’s Restaurant because she hated Carl much. Isabella wanted to find a way to get rid of Carl, or even revenged...
If Cedric could find Isabella in earlier years, she might have suffered less...
Cedric didn’t want to continue his thoughts.
But Cedric decided that he would try his best to love and protect Isabella in the future.
Isabella spent ten minutes and only picked two sets. Cedric paid for her and said to the shop assistant, “Find a good color of what she picked and wrap another 20 sets. Someone will come to pick it up later.”
“Yes!”
The clerk was surprised and immediately swiped Cedric’s card. Cedric looked at Isabella and said, “Now, the necessaries are enough. Let’s go take a look at the car.”
Isabella thought for a while and replied, “Cedric, I really don’t need so many things. Moreover, I don’t have a driver’s license and I can’t drive.”
Cedric smiled and said, “You need to buy the car first. Don’t worry that the car will be put in the garage for a long time. I remember that you will graduate. Then, you may need a car to commute. I will find someone to teach you how to drive. Although I can also help you find a driver, I think you should learn it. It will help if you have more skills.”
Isabella looked at Cedric’s tall figure. Her eyes suddenly turned red, “Cedric...”
“What wrong, Isabella?” Cedric was stunned when he saw that Isabella suddenly wanted to cry.
“I’m fine.”
Isabella wiped her tears and laughed, “I just feel that you are treating me so well. I appreciate it!”
Cedric looked at Isabella’s smiling face and said, “Isabella, I know you must have suffered a lot in the Smith family over the years...”
Isabella immediately raised her eyes to look at Cedric and asked, “Did Jayden say something to you?”
Cedric lowered her eyes and seemed to organize her words before saying, “Isabella, it doesn’t matter what others say. Do you understand? What’s important is that your Cedric unconditionally believes in you and likes you.”
...
Night fell.
It was in the Yaron Psychotherapy Center.
A woman’s terrified scream came from an independent VIP ward.
“Mr. Joseph, Ms. Stella is in a very unstable mood now. She only trusts you. Please help her understand that she will easily develop other diseases if she refuses to receive treatment actively.”
While Joseph walked in hurriedly, Stella hugged him and cried, “Joseph, I saw him again. I thought of that terrifying man again! He kissed my calf with his stinky mouth. He said he was going to destroy me. He said he was going to eat me up inch by inch!”
“Don’t be afraid, that pervert has been killed by the police.”
Joseph hugged Stella tightly and stroked her back to comfort her. “Everything is in the past.”
