Chapter 401
Carl looked at Joseph’s cold eyes and felt his hair stand on end. Although Joseph’s words were humble and respectful, his tone and aura gave off an extreme oppression! He was very unhappy right now!
Carl found it hard to imagine how Joseph could endure his slippers. He just glared at Isabella and immediately put on a welcoming face, “I didn’t know that you were here just now. Come in and sit! Please come in!”
Joseph naturally took Isabella into the room. Although Rosa did not understand Joseph’s identity, seeing that Isabella’s boyfriend could make Carl afraid, she could not help but secretly wipe her tears in excitement.
Joseph sat down. Carl immediately got Rosy, John, and all the other family members to gather. Immediately, the entire family sat upright, their gazes fixed on Joseph.
Joseph picked up the tea bowl. Carl immediately poured tea for him. He did not refuse. He only nodded with a fake smile.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about us in advance.”
Isabella calmed down and introduced, “Joseph and I have known each other for a month, and we have only established a relationship recently. Because we have already started to like each other, my blind date with Mr. Cedric is somewhat... I still lack a bit of feelings for Mr. Cedric.”
Joseph said directly, “I hope Carl and Rosa can understand our sincere love. Don’t break up a couple in love.”
.....
Carl was shocked. “Don’t say that! I’m too happy to be with you!”
Then, he said with some excitement, “Is Mr. Joseph sincere towards Isabella?”
Joseph squinted at Carl. “If it was just for fun, do you think I would come to your little house for nothing?”
And then he said with a cold smile, “After all, I’m not very popular in this Smith family. I shamelessly took the key and entered.”
Carl hurriedly waved his hand. “This is a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding! I was just angry that Isabella inexplicably broke up with Mr. Stretton! You have to know that the senior of the Stretton family even asked me about this matter. I don’t even know how to answer it! I have no objection to this girl falling in love with you. I just didn’t expect this girl to hide so deeply, causing me to be difficult to be a person outside.”
Joseph smiled in disdain. “Actually, at the banquet of Mr. Alfredo in the provincial station, Isabella and I already knew each other.”
Carl was stunned. “At that time...”
Joseph looked at Carl with warning eyes. “I was surprised to find out that Carl was extremely interfering with Isabella’s love.”
“No, no!”
Carl waved his hand again and looked at Isabella with a dark gaze. “Although our Smith family is very upright, in terms of choosing a partner, I have always supported young people to make their own decisions.”
Then, he poked John, who was beside him, and said, “Hurry up and pour some tea for Mr. Joseph! What are you waiting for?”
When John saw Joseph enter, he was so scared that he was like a dead rabbit. His entire body was trembling. Now that he heard his father say this, how could he dare to touch Joseph? He hid behind Rosa.
Carl awkwardly grinned. “What’s wrong with this child? He is so shy!”
“This is your future second brother-in-law! Hurry up and call him!”
Joseph was noncommittal. His lips curved as he glanced at John. “He is quite shy. He is taller than her sister. But when he sees people, he hides behind her mother. He is really useless.”
Carl looked embarrassed. “I didn’t teach my son well. Mr. Joseph, sorry to make you laugh at me..”
Joseph smiled coldly and said to Gerry, “Since Carl and Rosa seem to be willing to accept me, then bring the gifts that Isabella and I have chosen.”
“Gift?”
Carl looked at Joseph in surprise. He hadn’t expected Joseph to bring them gifts. He rubbed his hands excitedly, “How can I accept this? Mr. Joseph, you are too polite.”
“Although Isabella is not your biological daughter,” Joseph smiled as he took the gift box that Gerry handed over. He paused for a moment and then said, “But thanks to your care for so many years, she can grow up smoothly. Today, I visited as her boyfriend. Of course, I need to prepare some decent gifts.”
As he spoke, he took out the smallest box and pushed it in front of Rosa, respectfully saying, “The first gift is for Rosa. Thank you for bringing Isabella to this world and letting me meet her. It’s just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”
Rosa hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Carl reflexively and opened the small gift box.
What entered her eyes was an exquisite and grand sapphire necklace, and then a platinum bracelet.
“Because I came so suddenly, I didn’t prepare any decent gifts.” Joseph smiled gently, “The necklace was picked by Isabella, and the bracelet was picked by me. Rosa, take a look. If it is not suitable, I will change it to something else.”
Before Rosa could take a closer look, Rosy, who was next to her, screamed and snatched it from her hand. She said in surprise, “Oh my god, this bracelet is Chanel’s customization for this year. It is limited to thirty-three in the world. It is extremely expensive!”
Isabella, who was next to them, was instantly stunned.
This bracelet was the representative style of Joseph’s fashion magazine cover. She didn’t remember the brand, but only knew that the price seemed to be six 0 behind it.
Two days ago, when Joseph read the magazine, he accidentally saw it and asked if Isabella wanted it. She originally didn’t really like jewelry, but when she saw the many “0”s, she immediately said she wanted it. She didn’t expect Joseph to immediately see through her thoughts and shook his head. “Although it looks good, the style is not suitable for you. Don’t think that more than 0 is good stuff.”
Unexpectedly, he actually bought it to give to her mother.
Actually, it had nothing to do with how much money she had. It was just that Isabella had never expected that Joseph would still carefully buy this good-looking bracelet and give it to Rosa. This meant that he wasn’t muddling through this visit. Instead, he really wanted to give her a gift.
Isabella was instantly moved. What else could a husband ask for when a husband was so awesome?
Rosa looked at the expensive jewelry. She was both excited and nervous. “The gift is very good, but Mr. Joseph’s gift is too precious. I...”
“If you like it, it will be worth it.” Joseph looked at Isabella gently and held her hand. “Isabella and I will be very happy.”
When Rosa saw Isabella, she immediately smiled brightly at Joseph and nodded happily with tears in her eyes.
“In that case, the present below belongs to Rosy.”
