Isabella looked at the upset Cedric and wanted to say something to comfort him, but then common sense reasserted itself. She said, “It’s just that my identity has changed.”

“Identity?”

“Yes.”

Isabella thought for a while and said, “Previously, I was free and I could develop any relationship with you, but now I am Joseph’s fiancée. I promised to live with him for the rest of my life. I have a sense of responsibility. Therefore, I can’t casually hug you...”

Cedric looked at Isabella with a frown and said, “Is it because that day I drank too much that day and lost control...”

Cedric rubbed his forehead and said, “I have also reflected on myself for the past two days. I might have scared you that day and made you think that I was terrifying. I promise that I will never treat you that way...”

Isabella lowered her head and interrupted Cedric’s explanation, “Cedric, I’m sorry. I hurt you because of my wavering attitude before. I want to settle this matter today. No matter what, I still can’t treat you as my lover. I only want to be with Joseph for the rest of my life. I love him.”

Cedric was stunned.

.....

“Although I only spent a month with him...”

Isabella lowered her head and said, “I feel like I’ve completely fallen in love with him. I like him and want to be with him forever.”

Cedric said with a frown, “Am I inferior to him? You only spent a few more days with him. Now you think he’s good. You even want to marry him. Don’t you think that your decision is hasty?”

Isabella looked at Cedric and her eyes turned red. She said, “Cedric, you are not inferior to him. I have fallen in love with him and I can’t accept another man.”

Cedric suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Isabella in shock.

“He is very arrogant, bossy, and sometimes even unreasonable.”

Isabella said seriously, “But he saved me. When I was most helpless, he helped me overcome great difficulties in my life. He made me learn not to randomly show sympathy. He saved me from under the truck. Although I only spent a month with him, I could not leave him.”

Cedric frowned and asked, “Are you by his side to repay his kindness?”

Isabella stared at Cedric and said with a smile, “Cedric you might not know that before I fell in love with Joseph, I had been carrying a torch for a senior for more than ten years.”

Cedric paused and said, “You once carried a torch for a senior?”

“Yes.”

Isabella nodded and said, “I always want to show my best self in front of him. I don’t dare to cry in front of him. I don’t dare to vent my emotions in front of him. I don’t dare to show him my bad side. I’m afraid that he will dislike me.”

Cedric’s eyes darkened and he said, “So?”

Isabella was silent for a moment and said, “You think I just feel grateful to Joseph because Joseph has saved me. In fact, I also thought of this problem. But I’m now sure that I’m not repaying his kindness. I find that in this world, I only feel the most relaxed when I’m with him. I have no worries at all when I stay with him...”

She continued, “When I’m happy, I can laugh out loud in front of him. When I’m sad, I can cry without fear of losing face. When I am angry, I do not need to hide, I can vent my anger in front of him. Although he bullies me more often, I also have bullied him.”

Isabella smiled happily and said, “I know about Joseph now. I’m not afraid of him at all. I especially like to be with him. I think this is love. I know that no matter what I do in front of him, he won’t mind. He won’t really be angry and will forgive me. Cedric, in this world, only when I’m with him, I will be happiest.”

Cedric looked at Isabella and hurriedly said, “I can also protect you. I can also never be angry with you. You can also have no scruples about crying and laughing in front of me. I can do whatever he can. I have never seriously wanted to be together with a woman. I will do my best to take care of you, Isabella...”

Isabella stared at Cedric and said, “Actually, there’s one more thing I didn’t even tell Joseph. That was when Stella appeared...”

Isabella paused for a moment and said, “Although I acted like I didn’t care about her and swore that I wouldn’t be in the pain of lovelorn like a fool, only I knew that I felt unprecedented fear. I feel that Stella is too outstanding, and she had known Joseph for so many years. I feel that the happiness that is in my hands is suddenly going to be taken away. That kind of despair made me unable to sleep all night until he came back to me.”

Isabella’s tears suddenly flowed out and she said, “Cedric, I can’t control myself. I really fell in love with Joseph!”

Cedric looked at Isabella and his eyes flickered. Suddenly, his face darkened. He took a step back and sneered, “Well, Isabella, since you enjoy your peaceful life so much, then I should not disturb you today. After all, your father’s explosion case will also disturb your normal life.”

Isabella was stunned.

Cedric took out a small folder from his pocket. He stared at Isabella and said, “Isabella, I have dealt with and analyzed all the photos taken on your mobile phone. I can now tell you with certainty that there was something wrong with the design of Slike’s Restaurant back then. Your father died of murder.”

Isabella was shocked and quickly pulled Cedric’s sleeve, saying, “Is there really a problem with the pipe design? Carl framed my dad, right?”

Then she said anxiously, “Hurry up and give me the report!”

Cedric instantly raised the folder high and looked at Isabella, saying, “You want the report? But we don’t have any relationship now, do we? Isabella, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”

Isabella was stunned and looked at Cedric as if she was looking at a stranger. She said, “Cedric...”

“Dance the opening dance with me tonight.”

Cedric said, “If you want to get the report, dance the opening dance with me.”

Isabella shook her head and asked, “You want to dance with me today?”

“The annual graduation ball at Richmond Arts University is a ball in name, but in fact, it has long evolved into a social ball. The dance partner that everyone chooses is their beloved. It is said that one of every four pairs of dance partners will get married.”

Cedric said calmly and seriously, “Isabella, after this dance, I’ll give you all the evidence I collected.”

Isabella thought for a moment and said hesitantly, “But...”

“Don’t worry.”

Cedric sneered, “Just a dance. What does it matter?”
