Chapter 387
But meanwhile, she thought Joseph might not know what happened between her and that shop assistant.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Joseph pulled Isabella out of the shop unhappily. “Do you also find it very strange? Why did I employ such a shop assistant? I don’t know either. She probably knew someone from the personnel department.”
Isabella shook her head with a smile. “I don’t care about that kind of trifle. I just think that you are super attractive now.”
Joseph paused and smiled mischievously. “Because I helped you deal with that shop assistant?”
“That’s right.”
Isabella twined her arms around Joseph’s neck and said proudly, “She said that I was like a dog counting on its master’s backing. But you’re my husband. I don’t feel ashamed to have your backing. Because you’re so brilliant.”
Joseph smiled and touched Isabella’s nose. “Not bad. But you are not a dog. You are a fox. You are a cunning fox that I raise.”
.....
“Is that a fox assuming the majesty of a tiger?”
Isabella smiled happily. “So, dear tiger king, what shall we eat tonight?”
“Of course, I’ll eat you.”
Isabella paused and immediately punched Joseph. “Seriously, I’m hungry!”
“You ate twice my food and four ice creams at noon. Are you hungry now?”
Joseph drew Isabella close to him and looked at Isabella carefully. “Did you exercise too much the night before yesterday? Why are you so hungry?”
Isabella punched him again. “What are you talking about? I’m not so weak!”
Joseph laughed out loud and placed his hand on Isabella’s belly. “Are you pregnant? Angelina specifically reminded me that you might be pregnant if you retched or had a great appetite! Why does it feel like a ball?
“What?”
Isabella pushed Joseph away. She blushed with shame and said, “You’re so annoying! I just want to have a meal. Stop talking about that. We have to attend the graduation ball tonight. If we don’t eat earlier, we won’t have time to eat!”
Joseph was stunned. “Graduation ball?”
“I told you about it!”
Isabella gave Joseph another punch. “I said that you would attend the graduation ball with me in the middle of this month! Just once in a lifetime. The graduation ball is more important than a wedding ceremony!”
Joseph instantly remembered what Isabella had said when they came back from Green Hill. It was only a few days ago. But Joseph felt it was a century ago because too many things had happened recently. Joseph then smiled and said, “I remember it. But why didn’t you inform me and invite me today? I haven’t chosen a suit yet.”
Isabella swung her arms and walked ahead. When she heard this, she turned her head and said proudly and naturally, “My dear husband. Why do I have to invite you? I’m sure you’ll go with me.”
Isabella then giggled. “And my dear, you have such a good figure. You’ll be pretty cool wearing any suit in your wardrobe. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance! And even if you wear this now, you’ll be more handsome than any average man! I love you so much!”
Joseph looked at Isabella’s smiling face, caught up to her, and held her hand. “You said that the ball would start at night, right? Let’s go have a meal now. I’ll then take you to see something good.”
“Is there something good again?” Isabella widened her eyes in excitement. “Joseph, how can you be so cute today? I even want to eat you.”
Joseph wrapped his arm around Isabella’s shoulder and said with an evil smile, “I’ll let you be satisfied tonight.”
Isabella was a glutton. After her strong suggestion, the two of them went to eat seafood at dusk.
Joseph supported his chin and thoughtfully looked at Isabella who was taking apart a king crab. Joseph said in a low voice, “I know why Carl doesn’t like you as his stepdaughter.”
Isabella paused and immediately asked seriously, “Why?”
“Because you are a glutton. He thinks that you will eat him out of house and home!”
As soon as Joseph finished speaking, Isabella threw the crab shell in her hand at Joseph. Joseph was prepared for this and laughed out loud. “I’m no longer kidding. You ate so much ice cream in the afternoon, and now you eat seafood. You will die.”
“It’s OK. My stomach is very strong.”
Isabella winked at Joseph and flattered him. “Darling, I’m very easily fed. I’m less demanding for dressing and using. I only like food. I want to try everything that can be stuffed into my mouth.”
Joseph narrowed his eyes. “Do you want to try everything that can be stuffed into your mouth?”
Isabella nodded seriously. “Do you believe me? I watched an introduction of Thousands of Insects Feast on TV. Although Jane said they were disgusting, I wanted to try them. I was so gluttonous that I even drooled.”
Joseph elegantly picked up the food with his chopsticks while smiling mischievously and meaningfully. “If that’s the case, I’ll give you a delicious supper that you’ve never tasted tonight. It’s soft and tender. I guarantee that you won’t be able to live without it forever if you taste it once.”
Isabella asked carelessly and excitedly, “What is it? It sounds so delicious. Is it fried? Is it sweet or spicy?”
Joseph smirked. “It’s luscious and delicious. But it’s eaten raw.”
“Eaten raw?” Isabella turned so pleased. “Why don’t you take me to eat now? We don’t have to wait for the night to have it. I feel especially energetic eating delicious food!”
Joseph raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want to try it now?”
“What’s wrong?”
Isabella continued innocently, “Why is your expression so strange now? What kind of surprise is it? Anyway, the ball will be quite late. How about calling my best friends Jane and David for supper? You can meet each other. And Platty is not bad, although he looks a bit weird.”
Joseph froze. “How can this kind of thing be shared with others?”
“Is it something very rare and precious?”
Isabella thought for a moment. “It’s fine. We can cut it carefully, and each tries a piece. Jane and David are very good to me. I used to take their things. Now I can repay them a little.”
The smile on Joseph’s face froze. He pinched Isabella’s cheek and pulled it. “You silly woman, did you say it on purpose? How can your husband’s things be tasted by others? Are you so full that you are silly?”
“What’s wrong?”
Isabella blinked kindly at Joseph. “Not only do I like to share, but I also like to roast before eating. I don’t like raw food. Can I roast it with a lighter before eating?”
