291 Cedric Is Versatile


    Ste held Joseph’s face and said in an aggrieved tone, “I’ve been looking for you for so long. Why did youe sote?”


    “I am sorry...”


    Joseph picked Ste up from the ground and ced her on the bed. “I have matters to attend to. I’m afraid I won’t have timetely so I can’te over in time. You have to take medicine on time.”


    He then looked around at the things that Ste had thrown around and consoled her in a soft voice, “The doctor said that you are a little extreme now. In fact, as long as you don’t think about that matter and cooperate with the treatment, you can gradually forget what happened that day.”


    “But I feel that in this world, no one can give me a sense of security except for you.”


    “Only when you’re by my side will I feel safe. Don’t leave me, okay?” Ste cried as she grabbed Joseph’s clothes and pleaded.


    Joseph’s eyes darkened. He held Ste’s hand and then slowly loosened it. “Ste, I’m sorry. You have to rely on yourself. I have something very important to dotely.”


    “Something very important ... What are you busy with?”


    Ste looked at Joseph and suddenly realized something. She hurriedly asked, “Joseph, why do you look so haggard?”


    .....


    Joseph shook his head. “I’m fine. Have a good rest.”


    “You left in a hurry after answering the phone this morning.” Ste grabbed Joseph’s shirt again and asked anxiously, “Did something happen to you? Did that psycho’s aplicee to cause you trouble?”


    “No, it has nothing to do with what happened in America.”


    Joseph thought about it and said frankly, “Actually, Isabe ran away from home. I can’t contact her, so I am looking for her.”


    Ste was stunned.


    “Maybe something that happenedst night caused her some misunderstandings.”


    Joseph’s face was filled with exhaustion and disappointment. His usual dominance and arrogance had disappeared. “I must find her as soon as possible. I don’t want anything to happen to her...”


    Ste sensed Joseph’s loneliness and suddenly remembered the call and text message that Isabe sent herst night. She frowned slightly but turned around to stroke Joseph’s cheek and said gently, “Joseph, don’t worry about me. Just go.”


    Joseph looked at Ste, feeling a little touched.


    “I let you down in the past. I don’t want to let that happen to you again.”


    Tears welled up in Ste’s eyes. “I don’t want you to regret it for the rest of your life because of me. I hope that you will be happy. Hurry up and find Isabe. She might have misunderstood. Exin it to her properly and apologize to her on my behalf, okay?”


    “Ste, I promise, even if I get married in the future, I will not abandon you. I will protect you forever.”


    Joseph’s eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions. Looking at Ste, he smiled with gratification, “Thank you, Ste, thank you for letting go of everything.”


    “There is no need to thank me.” Ste cried. “Actually, this is what I owe you...”


    “When I find Isabe, I will exin it to her and take her to you. She is a cheerful girl, and she will definitely let go of her past and be good friends with you.”


    Joseph smiled, got up, and stroked Ste’s forehead, “Ste, you have to take care of yourself, alright?”


    “I will! Go.”


    After Joseph left, the brightness on Ste’s face gradually dimmed. “The message fromst night ... Was Isabe in danger? Did I cause any trouble?”


    ...


    Golden Apartment.


    Isabe was making dinner in the kitchen when someone knocked on the door.


    Cedric immediately opened the door and then quickly closed it.


    Isabe was holding the spat and curiously poked her head out to take a look. “Who was it?”


    “Didn’t you lose your phone?”


    Cedric handed Isabe a box. “I forgot to buy one for you this afternoon, so I asked Peter to deliver one over. Open it and take a look. Do you like it?”


    “Phone...”


    Isabe opened the box and saw that it was a ck cell phone iid with crystals. She said in surprise, “Why did you buy such a luxurious one...”


    “I didn’t buy it.”


    Cedric exined, “It’s a gift from my partner. Because I have a phone, I never used it. It’s a custom-made one, and I have my name on its back. I want to give it to you. Will you mind that?”


    Isabe turned the phone over and saw a few English letters engraved on the back. “Ced?”


    “Yeah, the abbreviation of my name. Make do with it for a few days, and I will customize a more beautiful one for you.”


    Isabe shook her head. “This will do. I like it very much. It’s cool.”


    “Cool?”


    “It looks like a ck crystal,” Isabe said as he stroked the phone, “It’s so beautiful.”


    Cedric saw that Isabe seemed to appreciate it and nodded. “d to hear that. When you get bored with it, I will give you another one.”


    “Thank you, Cedric.”


    “Dishes will be ready soon. Get ready for it.” Isabe put the phone into her pocket and said.


    Because she came back a littlete from shopping, Isabe only made two dishes, and the main dish was spaghetti. Cedric looked tall and slender, but he was a big eater. He took three tes of the spaghetti she made.


    After the two finished dinner, Cedric said that since Isabe had cooked, he should be the one to wash the dishes. Isabe felt that it was inappropriate because she felt that he wasn’t the kind of man responsible for doing dishes. Unexpectedly, Cedric was good at doing chores. He was better than her at cleaning the dishes.


    Jane Isabe could not help but support herself against the door frame and watch. She sighed in her heart that Jane would be living a happy life.


    “What’re you looking at?”


    Cedric noticed that Isabe had been looking behind him the entire time. He ced the washed bowl in the disinfector and joked, “I’m so handsome. Aren’t you afraid of falling in love with me if you look at me like this?”


    “I think it’s a woman’s nature to fall in love with a man like you.” Isabe couldn’t help but praise, “I didn’t expect you to be both manly and versatile.”


    “Versatile?”


    Cedric pressed a few buttons on the disinfector, then wiped his hands. He walked over and flicked Isabe’s forehead. “How do you think I should feel now that you praised me?”


    “You should be happy of course.”


    Isabeughed and covered her forehead. “This word fits you the best. You are a perfect househusband. There are indeed many men who like cooking. However, it’s rare to see someone who can wash dishes so well like you.”


    “Yeah, I also think I’m a good househusband.”


    Cedric looked at Isabe meaningfully. “That’s why the woman who marries me will have a happy life because I am not only handsome but can make money and take care of the chores. That woman’s life will be sweet.”


    Isabe thought of Jane and immediately narrowed her eyes. “I’m so envious of her.”
