103 You’re So Calm


    “What? It has past seven o’clock?” Joseph immediately opened his eyes.


    Twenty minutester, Joseph and Isabe went downstairs. Isabe was so embarrassed that her face was red.


    “Grandpa, good morning. I was a little tired yesterday and got upte today.” Joseph was cold and behaved respectfully and politely.


    “It’s alright. Take your seats.”


    Charlie behaved normally but looked happily. “William, let’s have breakfast.”


    “Yes, Sir.” William immediately passed the order to the kitchen. Soon, the breakfast was served.


    Normally, Isabe was the noisiest person while having meals. She was embarrassing today and lowered her head having her meal without saying a word.


    “Miss Isabe, how do you like the soup today? Is it good?”


    She didn’t say anything, but William always asked her opinion. He smiled and said, “I’ll prepare you some soup and you can take it to school if you like.”


    .....


    Only then did Isabe notice there was a soup. She hurriedly said, “Its taste is great. I don’t need more for school. I’m full.”


    “You’d better take bring some.” Charlie interrupted with a smile, “Joseph, you too.”


    Isabe felt something was wrong with Charlie’s expression. She stirred the soup and asked doubtfully, “What’s in this soup? Why does it taste bitter?”


    “It’s the herbal soup which has nourishing efficacy.”


    The chef, who waited on besides, proudly exined, “Mr. Joseph’s soup is for reinforcing kidney. It is a pity that they are not cooked for long enough. I will prepare better herbal soups, which are more nutritious and vorful, from tomorrow morning! You will be energetic every day!”


    Isabe was a little freaked out when she heard this.


    Isabe choked. Joseph immediately passed her a napkin, “Are you so overwhelmed that can’t speak?”


    As said so, he expressionlessly drank up the herbal soup in front of him.


    Isabe was embarrassed and thought Joseph was so calm!


    Isabe finished her breakfast in silence.


    Because Charlie asked particrly, Joseph personally took Isabe to school after breakfast.


    Isabe held arge thermos in her arms. They were silent along the way.


    “Finish this too.”


    After the car stopped at the school gate, Joseph thrust his thermos into Isabe’s arms and said unhappily, “You’ll die if you don’t finish it.”


    Isabe was shocked.


    Isabe pulled her neck into her cor and said embarrassingly, “Even though it’s a good soup, but it is aphrodisiac. Will something strange happen to me if I drink it?”


    Joseph tugged at his tie, seemingly a little hot, “Then pour it away! If I drink the soup, you will regret it!”


    ” ... I’ll finish all of them!”


    Isabe was scared. She immediately jumped out of the car with two thermoses in her arms and disappeared quickly.


    “She doesn’t know whom she is dealing with!” Joseph red at Isabe’s back, “A two-faced woman! Gerry, let’s go!”


    Gerry drove off.


    Isabe stepped into the campus toward sunlight.


    Happy students gathered around in the grass, on the yground, and in the woods, full of young spirits everywhere.


    Isabe had mixed feelings when she suddenly remembered what had happened in the abandoned warehousest night.


    Humiliation, pain, desperation, and indifferent rtionship with her family, were nothingpared to freedoms and pleasures.


    People should earnestly work hard and live.


    God was fair and would never be cruel to a hard-working person...


    Isabe saw a white MPV driving towards the office building not far away.


    Isabe looked at the thermos in her arms and came up with an idea suddenly. She walked towards the office building...


    Someone was knocking on the door.


    Lukas’s office was a separate luxurious lounge. asionally, he was invited toe over for lecturing open ss, mainly because of his fame rather than what he taught.


    Therefore, he didn’t need an office, but an independent and quiet ce to stay.


    Lukas’s manager opened the door, “Are you ... Isabe? Lukas is...”


    “It’s alright. Don’t bother to tell him. Please give this to him.” Isabe handed the thermos to the manager and grinned. She turned around and was about to leave.


    “Isabe, wait!”


    She heard a familiar and gentle voice. Lukas walked over while he was wiping his hair with a towel. He said to his manager, “Go and have your breakfast first. I’ll talk to Isabe for a while.”


    After the manager left, Lukas pulled Isabe into the room.


    “I have to go back to my dormitory to get my stuff.”


    Isabe leaned against the door and said unnaturally, “Have this soup. I will not stay here anymore.”


    After said so, she was about to close the door.


    Lukas closed the door.


    Lukas mmed the door and said, “You can ask Jane to get your stuff for you. Why are you avoiding me?”


    Isabe looked up while Lukas looked down. Isabe shrunk back awkwardly, “I don’t other students see us. They’ll gossip.”


    “Is it because your sister and I are getting engaged?”


    Lukas released her hand and sighed softly. He opened the thermos and sniffed, “It smells good. Did you make it?”


    “No.”


    Isabe lied, “A friend gave me two bottles of soup. I saw your MPV just now. I cannot finish all of them. So, I bring you one.”


    Lukas took some soup. He shook the thermos and curled his lips, “This soup is aphrodisiac. Who gave it to you?”


    Isabe blushed. She pretended that she didn’t know, “What? Is it aphrodisiac? He must give me the wrong one! I was told that this soup is good for health! The idiot...”


    Lukas smiled and said, “It’s fine. Isn’t it good for me? I filmed all nightst night, and only removed my make-up just now. I feel exhausted and lost appetite. You are here to bring me this tonic soup. Isabe, you’re so sweet.”


    Isabe immediately said with relief, “That’s great. I’m really happy that it helps!”


    “John was beaten. Do you know that?” Lukas said casually while he was having the soup.


    Isabe’s smile froze. She rubbed her nose, “I don’t know. But he always fights with others, doesn’t he?”


    “No. He was beaten this time. Both his legs and one arm are broken. Furthermore, he didn’t dare to tell your father who did it. It seemed that he was scared.”


    “They are totally broken...”


    Isabe rubbed the corners of her clothes. It turned out that Joseph was merciful and didn’t break John’s other arm.


    “You don’t care much about John, do you?” Lukas nces at Isabe, “Because he often bullies you, isn’t it?”
