Isabella understood Cedric’s words, but she only feigned a silly smile, “Why is there no pressure? The girl who marries you in the future needs to have a strong belly. She needs to give you a lot of children to relieve the pressure from your family’s population. This is simply carrying the future of the Stretton family. The pressure is great!”

Cedric also smiled when he saw Isabella’s bright smile. He was a smart person and immediately understood the true meaning behind Isabella’s joke. Thus, he lowered his head, “Isabella, I’m leaving.”

Isabella looked at Cedric’s lonely expression as he turned around. She suddenly said, “Will you attend my engagement party? Next Wednesday?”

Cedric already wanted to turn around, but when he heard this, he turned around and looked at Isabella again.

“It’s already scheduled for next Wednesday ... According to Charlie, the invitation has already been printed, but the guests won’t be very large. We want to hold a low profile for the engagement banquet, so we only invite close friends and relatives.”

Isabella scratched her nose awkwardly, “I know that I might be rude if I say this ... Although my family members are complete, you know that I am not the biological child of the Smith family. I ... I have always wanted to have a brother or sister who really likes me and can help me since I was a child ... I...”

“Do you want me to accompany you and help you deal with the pressure? As your brother?” Cedric asked.

Isabella blushed instantly. She knew that making such a request might be a bit too much and narcissistic, but she was actually not thinking about herself.

.....

Rather than Joseph and Cedric turning against each other because of her matter, it was better to take this opportunity to make up for it.

Cedric was a kind person. At the very least, he was kind to Isabella. Isabella believed that on the day she married Joseph, Cedric wouldn’t really do anything bad to her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have apologized for Stella’s matter today. He even helped Isabella solve her father’s issue.

Cedric was silent for a while. Then, he smiled gently and picked up the swan-shaped souvenir that Isabella had seen earlier. Cedric handed it to Isabella, “You like this? Take it as a gift for your engagement.”

Isabella looked at the swan and widened her eyes in surprise, “Will you go? You will attend my engagement party as my brother, right?”

Cedric looked at the hopeful Isabella. His eyes flickered and he said after a long time, “Sorry, I really want to say yes, but I can’t. I can’t attend your engagement party because I can’t watch the girl I like to marry another man.”

Isabella was stunned.

“I didn’t even want to give you an engagement gift. I didn’t want to give you a blessing.”

Cedric smiled bitterly, “But I suddenly want to give you something...”

Cedric moved the little swan in his hand forward, “Isabella, take it. Maybe since you really get married to Joseph, I won’t appear in your life again. We might not meet again. Use this as a souvenir. The past seventeen years seem like a dream.”

Hearing Cedric’s words, Isabella looked at the little swan and wiped her tears, “I don’t want it. Don’t give it to me. This way, you owe me a gift forever. You can’t be so heartless. How can you never see us again? You and Joseph are good friends! Didn’t you say that you are my family? Why don’t you keep your words?”

Cedric saw Isabella crying. After a long silence, he said again, “Forget it, I won’t participate as your brother, but I will participate as the Mr. Cedric of the Stretton family.”

Isabella was stunned and suddenly laughed.

“Rather than seeing you with another man, I don’t want to see you being embarrassed or bullied ... Isabella, I will do everything I say. No matter what I will become in the future, I always want to see you happy.”

Isabella looked at Cedric, she suddenly took a step forward and hugged Cedric, crying loudly, “Cedric! Thank you! Thank you! You are so nice!”

“Isabella ...”

“What should I do to you? I can’t be cruel to you. Why am I so useless...” Cedric hugged Isabella gently, his eyes filled with love and pain.

“Because you are not a ruthless person!”

“Yes. If Joseph doesn’t treat you well, how about eloping with me?” Cedric smiled.

“No problem, let the little swan witness our friendship!”

“Cedric!”

Joseph, who was rushing over, only saw the scene of two people embracing each other. The fear and panic in his heart made him go crazy. He ran over, grabbed Cedric, and punched him.

“Cedric! Bastard! You can only do such things!”

Joseph furiously grabbed Cedric by the collar, “When I wasn’t paying attention, you scared a little girl and threatened her. Using those despicable methods to deceive her, isn’t make you feel a sense of accomplishment? Even if the Strettons are in the underworld, you still have the rules of the underworld! Why are you so despicable?”

“Joseph!”

Isabella screamed in fear and quickly pulled Joseph, “It’s not what you think it is! Cedric is only here to help me deal with my father’s issue! Let go of Cedric!”

“Your father’s issue? You still protect him even now! You said that you don’t like him, why do you always protect him? Did I say that I will solve your father’s issue? Why do you still need to ask him for help?”

Joseph pushed Isabella away, “Whose woman are you?”

Isabella was pushed by Joseph and fell to the ground. The little swan souvenir fell to the ground and turned into powder.

A strong fragrance spread out. Cedric narrowed his eyes as he looked at Isabella, who had fallen to the ground, and the little swan that symbolized the good relationship between him and Isabella.

Joseph realized that Isabella had fallen and was stunned. Just as Joseph was about to turn around to help Isabella, Cedric, who had been silent all this while, suddenly punched Joseph in the face and growled, “Joseph, you’re a mad dog!”

As soon as Cedric finished speaking, the two of them rolled into a ball and started fighting...
