288 Can You Stop Looking at Isabe?


    Joseph was probably unable to immediately make the right choice between Ste and Isabe. Ste was his childhood friend for more than twenty years, while Isabe was his little fox who he had known for a month. However, Joseph didn’t realize that he had different attitudes towards the kidnapping and rescue of Ste and Isabe.


    In fact, it was easy to tell which one of Ste and Isabe was more important to Joseph.


    It could also be seen who Joseph cared about more.


    Then, it could be told who Joseph liked better.


    William thought, ‘Gerry’s analysis is right. Gerry has been by Mr. Joseph’s side every day. Though a little dull, he sees some clues about Mr. Joseph’s feelings. However, Mr. Joseph himself isn’t aware of anything.


    Maybe the onlookers always see more clearly than those who are involved.


    In the entire world, maybe Mr. Joseph is the only person who thinks that he can’t make a choice...’


    “No matter what, Mr. Joseph, you should eat something first.


    “You have to maintain your vigor before you find Miss Isabe. It’s okay if she is hiding. You just need to make sure that she is not in danger,” said William as he came back to his senses.


    .....


    “I know...”


    Joseph lowered his head. He thought for a moment and took the food from the tray. Joseph said to himself, “She’s smart, but also fragile and stupid. She isn’t very flexible when she encounters a problem...”


    Joseph thought, ‘Isabe, when I get you back, I will definitely tie you firmly to my side. Every day, I will be with you and won’t let you have the chance to be jealous or resist. You are not allowed to leave me for even a moment...’


    ...


    After the nap, Isabe and Cedric went out.


    Peter and Joey did note. Cedric drove himself, and Isabe sat beside him.


    “Let’s go to the city for coffee first.


    “I need to send some materials to a friend. It won’t take more than ten minutes. You cane with me. Is that okay?” Cedric helped Isabe fasten her seatbelt.


    “Of course.”


    The car soon arrived at a luxurious building in the city, and the elevator went straight to the rooftop coffee house.


    The manager of the café obviously recognized Cedric and respectfully sent him to a seat by the window before leaving.


    “The manager kept looking at me in a very strange way.”


    Isabe asked, “Did she think I was your blind date?”


    “It’s possible. But it might also be because she thought that we were a good match,” Cedric smiled.


    Isabe waved her hand. “Maybe we look like a married couple. Well, she made a misjudgment. It must be uneasy for her to be the lobby manager.”


    Cedric said nothing about it and handed the menu to Isabe. Isabe browsed the menu and told the waiter, “I’d like a cup of Caramel Latte and a piece of cheesecake.”


    “How much sugar and milk would you like in your coffee?” the waiter asked respectfully.


    “A lot. The more, the better.” Isabe nodded vigorously.


    “I’d like a cup of Blue Mountain, semi-sweet and less milk.” Cedric handed the menu back to the waiter and smiled at Isabe, “Actually, if you were my blind date, I may have already been attracted to you.”


    “What?


    “Why?” Isabe scratched her head.


    “Because this is the first time I have seen a girl who just ate lunch asking for sweet and sticky cheesecake and a cup of coffee with a lot of sugar and milk. Don’t you need to keep fit?”


    Isabe was instantly blushed. “I do eat a little too much. I always get hungry easily, and I don’t like the feeling of being hungry.”


    Isabe paused and then continued, “But because I often practice dancing, there is a lot of physical output.


    “So, I don’t need to deliberately eat less to keep fit.”


    Cedric looked at Isabe’s blushing face and could not help butugh. “You are so cute.”


    “Really? I think of you as my family. If you were a stranger, I wouldn’t eat too much,” Isabe twisted her fingers and said awkwardly.


    “Yeah, that’s right. In front of me, you can do whatever you want.”


    Cedric nodded and gently nced at Isabe’s red cheeks. “Be yourself. Actually, I quite like it.”


    Isabe immediately grinned, “I know. The girls who go on blind dates with you usually eat very little. In fact, they aren’t pretending. Many girls eat very little. There are few girls who eat as much as me. If I didn’t dance, I would have been fat.”


    Cedric said yfully, “I know that. You were a little fatty when you were young. Probably not many people in this world know how fat you were when you were a child.”


    Isabe instantly covered her face and said gloomily, “Cedric, stop saying that. I’ll learn to restrain myself after graduation. I still want to get married.”


    Cedric blinked his deep eyes and smiled, “Don’t worry. You would get married even though you weighed twice as much as you do now.”


    “Cedric, you came so early...”


    As Cedric and Isabe were talking andughing, a familiar voice sounded. Isabe raised her head.


    In front of her was a man in a white suit with tender eyes. It was Jayden.


    “Isabe?”


    Unexpectedly, Jayden was even more surprised than Isabe. “What are you doing here?”


    “I came here with Cedric.”


    Isabe had no idea that the friend Cedric wanted to meet was Jayden. Isabe looked at Cedric and asked, “Is Mr. Jayden the friend that you want to meet?”


    Cedric looked at Isabe and then Jayden with his deep eyes, and then he smiled, “Do you know each other?”


    “Yes, of course...” Jayden calmed down and regained his shrewdness. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Isabe meaningfully. Jayden said, “We’ve met a few times.”


    The first time was when Isabe was carried away by Joseph at a wild party. The second time was when Carl forced Isabe to be a social butterfly at a business meeting. The third time was at Joseph’s birthday party when Isabe drank 11 cups of vodka for a dance.


    All in all, none of those things were good.


    Isabe lowered her head. She didn’t want Cedric to know about the bad things she had done. So, she said first, “I met Mr. Jayden a few times when I went to business meetings with my dad.”


    “I see. That’s good.”


    Cedric nodded and said with a relieved smile, “Since you know him, you will feel more at ease.”


    Then, Cedric looked at Jayden. “Sit down, please, Jayden.”


    Isabe immediately stood up. “Well, I need to use the washroom. Keep talking, please.”


    Cedric paused. He nced at Jayden and found that Jayden was staring at Isabe intently. Cedric nodded. “Okay.”


    After Isabe left, Cedric tilted his head and asked with a meaningful smile, “Jayden, can you stop looking at Isabe now?”
