“I am sorry...”

Joseph picked Stella up from the ground and placed her on the bed. “I have matters to attend to. I’m afraid I won’t have time lately so I can’t come over in time. You have to take medicine on time.”

He then looked around at the things that Stella had thrown around and consoled her in a soft voice, “The doctor said that you are a little extreme now. In fact, as long as you don’t think about that matter and cooperate with the treatment, you can gradually forget what happened that day.”

“But I feel that in this world, no one can give me a sense of security except for you.”

“Only when you’re by my side will I feel safe. Don’t leave me, okay?” Stella cried as she grabbed Joseph’s clothes and pleaded.

Joseph’s eyes darkened. He held Stella’s hand and then slowly loosened it. “Stella, I’m sorry. You have to rely on yourself. I have something very important to do lately.”

“Something very important ... What are you busy with?”

Stella looked at Joseph and suddenly realized something. She hurriedly asked, “Joseph, why do you look so haggard?”

.....

Joseph shook his head. “I’m fine. Have a good rest.”

“You left in a hurry after answering the phone this morning.” Stella grabbed Joseph’s shirt again and asked anxiously, “Did something happen to you? Did that psycho’s accomplice come to cause you trouble?”

“No, it has nothing to do with what happened in America.”

Joseph thought about it and said frankly, “Actually, Isabella ran away from home. I can’t contact her, so I am looking for her.”

Stella was stunned.

“Maybe something that happened last night caused her some misunderstandings.”

Joseph’s face was filled with exhaustion and disappointment. His usual dominance and arrogance had disappeared. “I must find her as soon as possible. I don’t want anything to happen to her...”

Stella sensed Joseph’s loneliness and suddenly remembered the call and text message that Isabella sent her last night. She frowned slightly but turned around to stroke Joseph’s cheek and said gently, “Joseph, don’t worry about me. Just go.”

Joseph looked at Stella, feeling a little touched.

“I let you down in the past. I don’t want to let that happen to you again.”

Tears welled up in Stella’s eyes. “I don’t want you to regret it for the rest of your life because of me. I hope that you will be happy. Hurry up and find Isabella. She might have misunderstood. Explain it to her properly and apologize to her on my behalf, okay?”

“Stella, I promise, even if I get married in the future, I will not abandon you. I will protect you forever.”

Joseph’s eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions. Looking at Stella, he smiled with gratification, “Thank you, Stella, thank you for letting go of everything.”

“There is no need to thank me.” Stella cried. “Actually, this is what I owe you...”

“When I find Isabella, I will explain it to her and take her to you. She is a cheerful girl, and she will definitely let go of her past and become good friends with you.”

Joseph smiled, got up, and stroked Stella’s forehead, “Stella, you have to take care of yourself, alright?”

“I will! Go.”

After Joseph left, the brightness on Stella’s face gradually dimmed. “The message from last night ... Was Isabella in danger? Did I cause any trouble?”

...

Golden Apartment.

Isabella was making dinner in the kitchen when someone knocked on the door.

Cedric immediately opened the door and then quickly closed it.

Isabella was holding the spatula and curiously poked her head out to take a look. “Who was it?”

“Didn’t you lose your phone?”

Cedric handed Isabella a box. “I forgot to buy one for you this afternoon, so I asked Peter to deliver one over. Open it and take a look. Do you like it?”

“Phone...”

Isabella opened the box and saw that it was a black cell phone inlaid with crystals. She said in surprise, “Why did you buy such a luxurious one...”

“I didn’t buy it.”

Cedric explained, “It’s a gift from my partner. Because I have a phone, I never used it. It’s a custom-made one, and I have my name on its back. I want to give it to you. Will you mind that?”

Isabella turned the phone over and saw a few English letters engraved on the back. “Ced?”

“Yeah, the abbreviation of my name. Make do with it for a few days, and I will customize a more beautiful one for you.”

Isabella shook her head. “This will do. I like it very much. It’s cool.”

“Cool?”

“It looks like a black crystal,” Isabella said as he stroked the phone, “It’s so beautiful.”

Cedric saw that Isabella seemed to appreciate it and nodded. “Glad to hear that. When you get bored with it, I will give you another one.”

“Thank you, Cedric.”

“Dishes will be ready soon. Get ready for it.” Isabella put the phone into her pocket and said.

Because she came back a little late from shopping, Isabella only made two dishes, and the main dish was spaghetti. Cedric looked tall and slender, but he was a big eater. He took three plates of the spaghetti she made.

After the two finished dinner, Cedric said that since Isabella had cooked, he should be the one to wash the dishes. Isabella felt that it was inappropriate because she felt that he wasn’t the kind of man responsible for doing dishes. Unexpectedly, Cedric was good at doing chores. He was better than her at cleaning the dishes.

Jane Isabella could not help but support herself against the door frame and watch. She sighed in her heart that Jane would be living a happy life.

“What’re you looking at?”

Cedric noticed that Isabella had been looking behind him the entire time. He placed the washed bowl in the disinfector and joked, “I’m so handsome. Aren’t you afraid of falling in love with me if you look at me like this?”

“I think it’s a woman’s nature to fall in love with a man like you.” Isabella couldn’t help but praise, “I didn’t expect you to be both manly and versatile.”

“Versatile?”

Cedric pressed a few buttons on the disinfector, then wiped his hands. He walked over and flicked Isabella’s forehead. “How do you think I should feel now that you praised me?”

“You should be happy of course.”

Isabella laughed and covered her forehead. “This word fits you the best. You are a perfect househusband. There are indeed many men who like cooking. However, it’s rare to see someone who can wash dishes so well like you.”

“Yeah, I also think I’m a good househusband.”

Cedric looked at Isabella meaningfully. “That’s why the woman who marries me will have a happy life because I am not only handsome but can make money and take care of the chores. That woman’s life will be sweet.”

Isabella thought of Jane and immediately narrowed her eyes. “I’m so envious of her.”
