287 Completely Out of Control


    Isabe noticed Cedric’s actions and was stunned. Then, she giggled and wiped her face with a napkin. “I’m sorry. I know what etiquette is needed to enjoy western food. There are so many rules. I should be as elegant as you, but I didn’t learn it because I rarely had western food. I have never participated in formal parties or anything like that. Cedric, don’tugh at me.”


    Cedric paused. “We’re at home, not outside. Don’t mind. You look fine.”


    After thinking for a while, Cedric took off his napkin and picked up the steak on his te with chopsticks. “Look, you can eat whatever you want at ease. The rules are set by humans. If you feel ufortable, throw it away.”


    Isabe looked at Cedric in surprise, and then she was touched by what he did. “Cedric, you are... Cedric, I like you!”


    After lunch, Isabe washed the dishes.


    Cedric was watering his beloved orchids on the balcony. It was his habit to raise good-looking nts.


    Cedric looked at everything in front of him and felt happy.


    They cooked together and ate together. While Isabe cleaned up the dishes, Cedric took care of the nts.


    It was very ordinary, but it made one feel warm.


    .....


    This was probably the happiness of marriage.


    “Isabe, that’s enough. Let’s take a short rest and go out for a walk.”


    Cedric was a little excited. He wanted to spend as much time with Isabe as possible so that he could show his love for her in a gentle and subtle way.


    “Isabe?”


    Isabe did not respond, so Cedric walked into the living room.


    Isabe had finished washing the dishes and was sleeping on the sofa.


    The apron on Isabe was half-untied, and her face was leaning against the back of the sofa. She was not in a veryfortable position, but she fell asleep...


    Cedric thought about it and went to the room to get a thin nket.


    Cedric med himself for his negligence. Last night, Isabe didn’t sleep until three in the morning. Moreover, she fell asleep so sadly. This morning, Cedric woke her up at eight o’clock. Just now, she was patient enough to cook with him...


    Isabe must be tired.


    Cedric thought, ‘Silly girl, even if you were tired, you forced yourself to deal with me without rest.


    You treat me as strangers.’


    Isabe was too unfamiliar with Cedric and showed no intimacy at all.


    Cedric reached out and carefully took off the apron on Isabe. He held her head. identally, the belt of the apron brushed her earlobe.


    Afraid of waking Isabe up, Cedric hurriedly reached out and held her ear.


    The ribbon didn’t wake Isabe up, but the soft touch from her ears made Cedric excited.


    Cedric stared at Isabe’s red ears, which were so small and soft.


    Cedric longed to kiss Isabe or bite her ears lightly in his mouth. He wanted to lean over and say something romantic to her, which would make her blush orugh.


    Cedric’s gaze slowly moved from Isabe’s earlobe to her beautiful face.


    Cedric cleared his throat.


    Cedric licked his lips as hard as she could as if he had encountered a clear spring after a long drought.


    Cedric rubbed his head and smiled bitterly when he saw he had an erection.


    Cedric felt disappointed with himself.


    Cedric had many “girlfriends”, and he had always had a good impression of things about lust. Although he was a person with self-control, he never suppressed his desires.


    But now, Cedric was suppressing his emotions. While silently watching Isabe, he held back his impulse.


    Cedric wanted to make his rtionship with Isabe purer and more beautiful, so she would ept him without any scruples.


    Cedric didn’t want to scare Isabe, in case she would think that he was just treating her as a sex partner.


    For such a simple and inexperienced girl as Isabe, pure love was more attractive.


    Cedric took a few deep breaths and covered Isabe with the nket.


    Isabe felt the weight on her and opened her eyes.


    Then, Isabe jumped up from the sofa and rubbed her eyes. “Sorry, I was a little confused just now, so I fell asleep...”


    “Why did you apologize?”


    Cedric shrugged. “If you want to sleep, then sleep. You’re very tired. It’s nothing wrong to sleep for a while. You don’t have to be so reserved in front of me. This is a reasonable and proper request.”


    “No...”


    Isabe said ufortably. “You said you were going out to meet a friend and take me to buy clothes. I don’t want to waste your time.”


    “No, you don’t.”


    Cedric stretchedzily and walked to his room. “I’m going to rest for an hour too. It’s a good habit to take a nap. Let’s meetter. I wish you a good dream.”


    Isabe looked at Cedric’szy back and understood that he just did not want her to be ufortable. She could not help but praise, “Cedric is a considerate and gentle person. Jane will be happy. What should I do? I can’t wait to introduce them to each other. Cedric, don’t fall in love with others at the blind date tomorrow...”


    In the underground workshop of the Wilson Manor, Joseph’s subordinates sorted out the surveince videos they had found. Joseph stared intently at every scene aside.


    “Mr. Joseph, you haven’t eaten sincest night.”


    “It’s already past 2 o’clock. Eat something,” said William as he pushed a small dining cart over.


    “No need.”


    Joseph looked terrible. He had never been in such a state.


    “Miss Isabe is so smart. She will be fine.”


    Williamforted Joseph, “Miss Isabe just doesn’t have her phone with her, and she doesn’t want toe back to see us. Nothing will happen to her.”


    “Why doesn’t Isabe want toe back to see us?”


    Joseph suddenly became a little excited. “Even if she is safe now, she was almost bullied by a few hooligans. It was true that she was almost taken away by traffickers! She has no support and can’t go back to the Smith’s. After experiencing such danger, where can she getfort?”


    Joseph pounded the table with his hand. “I have contacted Isabe’s school, her family, her good friends, and even Lukas, but there is no news at all. Even if what I did yesterday was meful, why didn’t she give me a chance to exin? Is she happy to leave just like and make me worry?”


    William lowered his head, not knowing how to answer Joseph.


    Joseph had changed.


    William felt that although Joseph had a good impression of Isabe, Joseph was a little indifferent to her. Since Ste returned, Joseph might end his rtionship with Isabe directly.


    After all, Joseph and Ste grew up together. Joseph was obsessed with Ste, but he always bullied Isabe willfully.


    Unexpectedly...


    William didn’t expect that Isabe’s departure would cause the usually cold and aloof Joseph to be in such a sorry state. Joseph was so terrified and helpless...


    William still remembered that when Gerry was having lunch at his ce at noon, Gerry said in a daze, “Mr. Joseph and Miss Isabe match each other.”


    At that time, William was puzzled and asked Gerry about it. Gerry said that when Joseph faced the one who kidnapped Ste and might kill her in the United States, Josephpletely remained calm and cold. His mind was clear.


    However, when facing a group of people who might bully Isabe, Joseph lost control.


    Josephpletely lost his mind...
