292 Not a Souvenir


    Looking at Isabe’s smiling face, Cedric leaned against the door and crossed his arms, his eyes soft. “Alright, I came backte today. I’ll help you make the bed, so you can rest early.”


    Isabe was stunned. “Help me make the bed? Are there any other beds?”


    “No. I never invite guests to my home, so there is only one bed in the main bedroom.”


    Cedric walked to the master bedroom and opened the cab. “I think there is a set of light-colored bed sheets here. You girls like light colors, right? I’m used to dark-colored ones.”


    Isabe hurriedly said, “Only one bed? I can’t use it! Absolutely not! I can’t take up your bed! I was in a dazest night but I’m sober today. I won’t make the same mistake again!”


    Cedric ignored her and tidied up the sheet. “This one is light-colored, but it doesn’t look good. Forget it. We’ll buy some beautiful bed sheets tomorrow.”


    Pursing her lips, Isabe picked up a pillow from the bed and withdrew to the door, indicating her determination.


    “I can’t let girls sleep on the sofa.”


    Cedric stopped and looked at Isabe. “Be good. Sleep on the bed.”


    .....


    “Cedric, if this is the case, I will feel really sorry.”


    Isabe picked up another small nket. “I am just having a sleepover here. If you can’t have a sound sleep because of me, I will feel very guilty and fail to sleep well. I might as well go to my friend’s ce.”


    After keeping silent for a while, Cedric smiled resignedly at Isabe’s stubborn expression. “Alright then. You can sleep on the sofa tonight.”


    Isabe nodded.


    She took the nket and pillow to the sofa in satisfaction.


    Cedric couldn’t help but smile as he looked at Isabe’s back.


    Well, since Isabe was so insistent, Cedric wouldn’t turn down her request. Anyway, she would just go with the sofa for a few nights.


    For Cedric, buying a bed was a piece of cake.


    Cedric just felt unnecessary to do so.


    Cedric was nning to confess his love to Isabe three dayster. Although the schedule was a little tightened and Isabe might feel rather surprised, Cedric couldn’t wait any longer because Isabe looked at him differently today...


    Cedric was sure Isabe’s look had changed.


    Isabe’s eyes were filled with appreciation and admiration for an excellent man.


    He got it.


    In less than three days he could start a romantic rtionship with Isabe. Cedric couldpletely possess her, share meals and sleep with her. They would live a life as a real married couple.


    So, what was the point of having an extra bed?


    Cedric stroked the bed and suddenly felt that he was quite sinister. But he also felt excited.


    Soon, he would have good sex here with Isabe.


    He would hug Isabe’s soft and chubby body and kiss her pink lips and ears. Cedric would bite and lick her delicate and beautiful corbone, making her unable to help but let out a gasp. Then, he would nudge his thing into her unexpectedly and enjoyed her bashful expression.


    Cedric would treat her very gently in deep love. He would hold Isabe’s hand and let her feel his passion. Then, he would tell Isabe that he adored her very much ever since the childhood summer night, from the moment he caught a glimpse of her in the moonlight...


    Cedric tightened his grip on the sheet and the trousers became tighter. Cedric realized what happened. He touched his forehead and couldn’t helpughing.


    He was thirty years old and had romantic rtionships with countless women. Why was he suddenly nervous like a teenage boy expecting his first love?


    How could he lose control due to some fantasy?


    Unbelievable.


    The phone rang in his pocket.


    The ringtone stopped Cedric in his tracks. When he saw Peter call him, he asked, “What’s up?”


    “Mr. Joseph was drunk in Empire Entertainment Center. William just called me and asked if you could go over andfort Mr. Joseph. William is afraid that Mr. Joseph will get himself too drunk.”


    “He hasn’t found that woman yet?”


    “No. I asked Gerry and he said that the clue was dead-end. Mr. Joseph is going crazy.”


    “Okay, got it.”


    “I’ll be right there,” Cedric said, her eyes deep.


    Cedric stood up and saw that Isabe was cutting fruit. However, she suddenly stopped and stared at the new phone in front of her in a daze.


    “What are you thinking about?”


    “Be careful. Don’t cut your fingers,” Cedric snapped his fingers in front of Isabe.


    “I won’t.”


    “The phone looks pretty nice. I was attracted to it.” Isabe smiled brightly.


    “I’m d you like it.”


    “I need to go out now and might be backte. You should sleep early,” Cedric said, picking up his coat.


    “It’s sote. Are you going out for a drink?” Isabe was stunned.


    “A friend of mine got drunk after breaking up with his girl. I might drink a little with him.” Isabe’s concerned expression warmed up Cedric’s heart. “It’s fine. Just a little. Don’t worry.”


    Isabe nodded.


    “Thene back early,” Isabe said.


    “By the way, I might note back tomorrow.”


    “I have a meeting early in the morning and a lunch invitation at noon. My family arranged a blind date for me at night. I need to deal with it,” Cedric said.


    “Got it. I have a gathering tomorrow night,” Isabe nodded.


    “Alright.”


    Cedric picked up the pen on the table and wrote two lines of numbers on the sticky note. “Joey’s and Peter’s phone numbers. Just let one of them pick you up when youe back.”


    Isabe did not decline and nodded. “Don’te back toote.”


    “Okay.”


    Cedric stroked Isabe’s head affectionately. “Then I’ll leave first. Go to bed early.”


    When Isabe saw Cedric leave and close the door, she fixed her eyes on the phone again.


    She was indeed distracted.


    Isabe looked at the phone Cedric gave her, but she was thinking about the pink phone that Joseph had given her.


    It was the gift Joseph gave her as a formal apology. Isabe still remembered the arrogant and mighty look Joseph had when he wanted to sincerely apologize but felt awkward doing so.


    Joseph looked cold and cute.


    Isabe happily epted that phone because it was the first gift Joseph gave her.


    It was also the only present from him.


    But now, she had lost the phone.


    After all, Joseph was her first boyfriend. She didn’t even have a souvenir tomemorate the love.


    Were they destined to separate in a sad ending without any nostalgia?


    Isabe admitted that it was difficult for her to forget Joseph. But Isabe could never forget Joseph hung up her call so determined when she put herst hope on him.
