405 I Hate Him
“My clothes are not bad, right?”
Isabella walked over with the photo album in her hand. “After I grew up, Carl was not as harsh on my clothes and cosmetics. However, he would not give me money to buy them. Instead, he directly asked someone to buy them for me. He was afraid that I would embezzle it.”
Joseph said coldly, “Do you think he is generous to you? His goal is to save face and not let others know that he abused his stepdaughter. Secondly, he wants to dress you up beautifully so that you can be used as a tool to cater to those in power.”
Isabella grinned awkwardly. “I know...”
After a pause, she continued, “But I will pretend that I don’t know. Sometimes, there are some things that you can’t resist. You might as well be optimistic to comfort yourself. In the end, beautiful clothes satisfy some vanity of a girl like me. I am already in my twenties and I don’t want to wear ugly clothes to go outside. So, there are some benefits.”
Then she smiled. “If I had two braids and dressed like a country bumpkin, would you still want me, Mr. Joseph?”
“Why don’t you try wearing it tonight? Let’s see if I want you.”
Joseph smirked. He suddenly remembered that he had seen her thin wallet a few days ago when he met Isabella. He instantly felt a little heartache. So he held her hand and changed the topic. “Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let me see your childhood photos.”
Isabella nodded. Just as she was about to hand over the photo album, she suddenly thought of something. She looked at Joseph and said solemnly, “Dear, thank you.”
.....
“What?”
Joseph took the photo album and said with a smile, “Why are you suddenly thanking me? Because I want you even when you’re braided?”
“No, thank you for giving Carl 50 million,” Isabella said seriously.
Joseph suddenly stopped moving. “I thought you didn’t want me to pay Carl.”
Isabella wrinkled her nose. “To be honest, I don’t even want to give him 100 yuan. I have been his punching bag for so many years. Even if I become a human punching bag, I will pay back 100 yuan at a time! Besides, my mother gave birth to John!”
Then she shook his head and sighed. “But before my father’s matter was thoroughly investigated, my mother and I still owed him in the end. My mother often told me to distinguish between gratitude and grudges. Although he didn’t treat us well, back then, if it wasn’t for him, my mother and I might really have ended up wandering on the streets ... Now that you have helped me repay my father’s debt, then the pressure and guilt that this family brought me can finally be removed from my shoulder.”
Joseph immediately patted Isabella’s head and said in relief, “Yes, this is my purpose, so you can live a relaxed and carefree life in the future.”
“Yes!”
There came a ringing sound...
As the two of them were talking, Joseph’s phone suddenly rang. Isabella immediately let go of Joseph. Joseph picked up his phone to take a look. A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes before he hung up.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” Isabella lay on Joseph’s knees and asked curiously.
“I’ve already said that I’m on leave. I’m going to have a complete vacation.” Joseph scratched Isabella’s nose and said with a smile, “I don’t care about the company during this period.”
Isabella immediately laughed. “So it’s a call from the company. Then Rosy is going crazy again.”
“Mr. Joseph...”
Isabella was still smiling. Gerry stood at the door and his eyes flickered. “I have something to report to you.”
Joseph glanced at Isabella and frowned slightly. He still said, “Isabella is not an outsider. You can just say it.”
“Stella suddenly felt unwell, but she refused to do an examination and take medicine. The psychologist said that he hoped that you could help her check her body to avoid more serious illness.” Gerry reported honestly.
Isabella was stunned.
Joseph was silent. Isabella carefully looked at him and thought for a moment. “Why don’t you go ... I’ll tell my mom that your company has something urgent ... but you have to come back early.”
Joseph looked at Isabella’s flickering eyes and slightly nervous little face. He sighed softly and then looked at Gerry. “Inform Stella’s parents about this and ask them to accompany Stella to check ... If Stella still refuses, consider using medicine to calm her down.”
“Yes!”
Isabella looked at Joseph in shock.
“I said that I can do a lot of things for Stella, but I can’t have a relationship with her anymore...” Joseph held Isabella’s face and said seriously, “Maybe it’s because I saved her in America. Stella obviously still wants to rekindle her old relationship with me. She has an obsession with me now ... But silly girl, this is the first time I visit your family as your boyfriend. No matter what, you should not push me to other women.”
Isabella’s eyes immediately turned red. “I don’t want you to go, but I’m afraid you will feel uncomfortable. If something really happens to Ms. Stella, will you feel sad?”
“Yes, you are right.” Joseph carefully traced Isabella’s face, “If anything happens to her, I will indeed be sad for a lifetime, but if I make you sad, I will be even sadder, because, to me, you are a wife more important than a childhood sweetheart.”
Isabella was immediately moved and laid on Joseph’s knees. “Heavens! Joseph, your words are so sappy now. I can’t help but be moved to tears. Why have you become so loyal and cute in just a few days?”
Joseph said with a smirk, “Because I slept with you. After sleeping with you, I don’t want to sleep with other women anymore.”
Isabella immediately gave Joseph a punch. “I just said I was touched. Can’t you let me be touched for a while longer? Scum with dirty thoughts.”
“Well, I am loyal because I love you.”
Isabella immediately made a face at Joseph. “What a hypocrite! It’s not as realistic as the reason just now! You play me every time! I’m going down to cook for my mother. I’m ignoring you!”
“Okay, go.”
Joseph smiled and kissed Isabella’s lips lightly. He watched her leave the door and turned to Gerry. He said lightly, “There’s something else, right?”
Gerry frowned. “I just heard Carl threaten Rosa downstairs.”
“Threat?”
“Yes ... I said that if Ms. Isabella doesn’t make you happy, she will ruin the marriage with you and beat them to death.”
Joseph raised his eyebrow.
“Carl is obsessed with fame and profit. Mr. Joseph, no matter how much money you give him, he won’t change.” Gerry also could not bear it. “Mr. Joseph, your 50 million will be in vain. Why don’t you let me...”
“Why don’t I let you do something? Snatch it back?”
When Joseph heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled indifferently, “Gerry, why do you think that I would really give money to a man who has beaten and scolded Isabella for more than ten years, or even murdered Isabella’s father?”
