301 Cedric’s Confession
“No matter how close my sister is to me, I’m closet to my wife.”
Cedric found that Isabe’s wrist was a little red because of his excitement. So, he quickly loosened his grip and gently held her arm with his hands. A hint of expectation shed in his eyes. “Isabe, marry me. I will give you happiness.”
Completely stunned, Isabe looked at the gentle Cedric.
“I am sorry...”
Cedric pursed his lips and smiled unnaturally. “I know that you may feel that this is too sudden. I didn’t want to tell you this early, but...”
Cedric looked at Isabe again. “But when I saw you dancing with another man just now, I felt that I had a strange feeling. I thought that it was called jealousy. I chose to say it now because I didn’t want to see you have any intimate contact with another man. That will make me restless.”
Isabe looked at Cedric’s serious expression and felt a little conflicted. “But...”
“No buts. Aren’t you here to get a husband?”
Cedric gently stroked Isabe’s cheek, as if he was touching something very precious. He smiled sweetly, “Your mother said you should keep your options open. How about me?”
.....
Isabe was speechless.
Isabe was indeed preparing to give up on Joseph and find a new boyfriend tonight.
But Cedric...
Yesterday, Isabe just epted him as her rtive, her brother. Now, Cedric tried to change to be her boyfriend or husband. It...
“You can think about it.”
Cedric released Isabe and rubbed his hands happily like a little uneasy boy. “I won’t force you to do anything before you make a decision. However, I have confidence that you will ept me.”
After consideration, Isabe tilted her head to ask seriously, “Cedric, when did you fall in love with me? Did it start when I moved into your house?”
“No.”
Cedric said frankly, “I liked you for a long time. When you borrowed my car to get changed and I first saw you at night, I felt that I had be very strange. However, I feel that my love for you started from the moment we first met when we were young.”
Then, Cedric smiled and gestured as if he was reminiscing. “At that time, you were little, but I felt that you were so cute and beautiful that I couldn’t move my eyes away. I didn’t know that it was called love at first sight. But now I understand that I probably fell for you from that time.”
Isabe lowered her head and recalled all the things from before carefully.
Cedric was a little nervous. “Think carefully for a few days before you give me an answer. There’s no rush.”
Then Cedric immediately added, “But don’t move out because of this. I promise I won’t do anything impolite before you agree.”
Isabe finally looked up, her eyes filled with uncertainty. “Cedric, your family wants you to have a child immediately to carry on your name, right?”
Cedric nodded and then hurriedly shook his head. He was a little incoherent. “We can decide on this ourselves. My family has never got involved in my private life. I like children very much. But if you don’t want to have children immediately, it depends on you. We can have babies when you want in a few years.”
“I like children...”
Isabe shook her head, “You are a good man. But Cedric, you are so hasty. It is not good for your future and mine.”
“Too hasty?” Cedric was stunned.
“Compared to other unfamiliar women, we have seen each other when we were young and we have been together recently. We may seem to be more suitable for each other.”
“But when you meet a girl you like, I mean the one you love from the bottom of your heart, we will break up.”
When Cedric heard this, he was stunned at first. Then he pped his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.
“I did not expect my confession to be so irrational.”
Cedric calmed down and exined, “Isabe, listen up. I want to marry you not because we are suitable or because I want to have children with a woman who is not so annoying toplete the task. I do like you.”
Then Cedric added, “If you insist on not wanting to have a child, I will persuade my family not to make things difficult for you. I will never be like your previous boyfriend, treating you as a beautiful puppet and a tool to have babies.”
Isabe looked at Cedric in confusion. “Really?”
“Yes.”
Cedric finally returned to his usual mature and steady self. He gently held Isabe’s hand and softly said, “Isabe, I love you.”
Isabe was so frightened that she trembled. She said warily, “But we’ve only been together for a few days, and you don’t even understand me. Why ... do you love me?”
Cedric looked at Isabe, who was on guard, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy. He reached out and rubbed her head. “Sometimes, there is no reason for falling in love with someone. Maybe you just smiled at me and amazed me. Maybe you hid in my arms and cried in the rain, so I felt pity for you. Or maybe over the past few days, I feel that you are shining all over. Besides, who said that I did not understand you?”
Cedric’s confession was too direct and too sudden. Isabe was so unprepared that she did not even dare to look directly into his passionate eyes. “But Jayden must have told you some bad things about me. You didn’t even ask me clearly. Are you sure you want to...”
“You are a fool.”
Cedric took Isabe into his arms and interrupted her. “Isabe, I told you that I knew everything...” Cedric said as he gently stroked her back.
After a pause, Cedric continued with a hint of affection in his voice. “It has been so many years. You must have suffered a lot during my absence, right? I will be with you and no longer allow anyone to bully you.”
Isabe was touched.
“You must have suffered a lot during my absence, right?”
What Cedric said moved Isabe a lot.
Isabe admitted that she overcame her scruples at that moment.
“Cedric...”
Isabe was once overwhelmed by grievances, cowardice, and humiliation, but no one understood her...
Suddenly, Cedric said that he understood Isabe. Cedric said that he wanted to be by her side and not allow anyone to bully her again. He was so loving, gentle, and tolerant...
Isabe’s tears instantly flowed out. She raised her hand to hug Cedric and choked.
