231 Try to Love Me

Isabella closed her eyes and organized her chaotic thoughts. She felt that she should think about her future.

She should think about Joseph’s future as well.

After a long time, the door of the bathroom opened. Joseph saw that Isabella seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed. He gently turned off the light and went to bed.

Joseph was considerate. Sometimes he was mighty. His arrogant appearance made people hate him. But sometimes he was gentle.

As soon as Joseph laid down, Isabella reached out and hugged him from behind.

Joseph sighed. He turned around, hugged her, and placed a hand on her abdomen. “Why haven’t you slept yet? Is it cold or painful?”

Isabella was moved. She summoned up her courage and said, “Joseph, we agreed earlier on the frequency. It should be five days.”

Joseph laughed, his warm breath rushing to Isabella’s face. “I already said that when your period comes, I will restrain myself. Don’t worry. You are strange sometimes. In your eyes, am I that inconsiderate?”

It was a familiar mean tongue.

.....

However, Isabella was not angry at all.

“That’s not what I meant...”

Isabella moved forward a little and pressed her face against Joseph’s chest.

After Joseph took off his bathrobe, he only wore a pair of pajamas, so his upper body had no clothes.

Therefore, Isabella could feel Joseph’s warm body temperature and strong heartbeat. She whispered, “What I mean is, in five days, I will do what I say.”

Joseph was stunned. He laughed heartily and pinched Isabella’s nose. “That’s right, my wild fox!”

Isabella immediately grabbed Joseph’s hand and said angrily, “But you have to respect me in the future. Don’t call me wild fox!”

“Then what should I call you?”



“Call me...”

Isabella blushed, “Actually, anything is fine. You can call me Bella, or call me honey like Angelina does.”

Silence.

“It’s not that corny!”

Isabella was embarrassed by Joseph’s sudden silence. She anxiously explained, “It is the way to show your respect and love! After all, we are going to get married. It’s better to take it as an early maneuver. This way, grandfather and sister will not doubt it. I will also like you a little more!”

Joseph suddenly reached out and grabbed Isabella’s shoulder. He removed her from his body and said in a low voice, “Isabella, are you willing to marry me?”

Although the bedside lamp had already been turned off, the street lights outside the window still shone through the gauze curtain into the room, covering the surroundings with faint silver color.

Joseph’s eyes reflected the light and looked bright.

Isabella didn’t dare to look into his eyes. She lowered her eyes and scratched her nose, stammering, “Didn’t you say that I was pretty good? I think you are also good. If you haven’t found a more suitable person, I think we can have a try.”

The light in Joseph’s eyes brightened. Looking at Isabella’s shy expression, he said on purpose, “Try what?”

“Try to get married, have children, help each other and build a family...”

Joseph smiled. “Alright, then let’s give it a try.”

As he spoke, he lifted Isabella’s chin and kissed her.

“Wait!”

Isabella pushed Joseph with all her might and tightened her grip on her chest. “Can I make a request?”

“What request?” Joseph asked doubtfully.

Isabella paused for a moment. She finally mustered up the courage to look at Joseph and solemnly said, “I know it may sound childish and boring, but I still want to say ... Joseph, can you try to like me a little?”

Joseph was stunned.

“You said that love is boring and messy, but I think that if you want to stay with me for a long time, you still have to love me.”



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Isabella grabbed Joseph’s arm tightly. She was so excited that her nails were about to sink in. “I don’t ask you to love me immediately, but I hope that you can be a little more concerned about me. I don’t want to be a tool for your family to have children. Although the love from family and elders is very important, I think the love from my husband is more important, because we will support each other for a lifetime!”

She was so excited that she gasped for breath, waiting for Joseph’s verdict.

He might be angry and push her away like last time.

Maybe he would mock her and laugh at her for being whimsical.

However, no matter what it was, she was fully prepared.

Joseph was not the person that she could control. She never hoped that he would love her. She only hoped that he could treat her as a true lover.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Joseph suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He fiercely kissed her lips.

Isabella was drowned in the kiss. She was a little angry and wanted to push Joseph away to ask if he had heard her suggestion. She didn’t expect Joseph to take the initiative to let go of her.

“Bold girl, okay, accept your proposal. If we get married, I will learn to love you, except for the duty of a husband.”

Joseph caressed Isabella’s back, making Isabella’s heart beat faster. He continued, “However, I also promise you that if you think I can’t give you what you want, you can leave after giving birth. I will give you a sum of money that will allow you to live a wealthy life.”

Isabella’s eyes flashed. When she heard Joseph’s words, she didn’t know how to react.

He said that he would learn to love her, but he also said that if she did not like it, she could leave him after giving birth to the child.

What did this mean?

Was this Joseph’s generosity?

But did he understand the meaning of love?

After they truly lived together, how could they be separated so easily?

People would even be sorrowful to part with a cat or dog.

Moreover, if she had a child, it would be even more difficult for her to get away easily.

Isabella was a little confused, but she didn’t know how to correct Joseph’s way of thinking. After all, Joseph was a person with a high IQ and low EQ. If he was forced to a corner, he might lose his temper again. Thus, she said, “Then it’s decided for now.”

“Okay.”

Joseph saw Isabella agree and said, “Go home tomorrow to get the required document. We will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married.”

“Wait!” Isabella was speechless.

“You are unavailable tomorrow?” Joseph was calm. There was no excitement of getting married in his tone.
