332 Who Do You Save?


    Joseph said patiently, “What are you afraid of? Your career is blocked? Bad influence? It’s okay ... I will do all these messy things for you. I will clear all the obstacles in your way. Don’t be afraid.”


    Ste suddenly hugged Joseph’s waist and buried her face in Joseph’s embrace, crying loudly, “What I’m afraid of is that you will leave me and no longer pay attention to me. You will never pay attention to me!”


    Joseph was stunned. He turned to smile gently and rubbed Ste’s head with hisrge palm. “Why would I ignore you? I said I would protect you forever.”


    “But you have beenpletely influenced by Isabe!”


    Ste burst into tears. “I have never seen you like this. For her, you were furious and lost your mind. Now, you are dejected. You are not like this. From beginning to end, you have never been a person who can bear it. But on her matter, you are drinking alone here. I don’t want you to be like this! You have beenpletely caught by her!”


    Joseph saw how excited Ste was and suddenly smiled. “I was caught by her?”


    Ste was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.


    “Maybe...”


    Joseph lowered his eyes, deep in thought. He didn’t know if his thoughts had been paralyzed by alcohol, but he seemed to bepletely iprehensible. “When was I caught by her?”


    .....


    Ste looked at the intoxicated and happy look in Joseph’s eyes. She suddenly grabbed Joseph and kissed him.


    The softness on his lips that was unique to women made Joseph startled. He hugged Ste and wanted to taste this kiss. His mind was in a trance. He suddenly realized that the other party was Ste. He immediately pulled her away and said in a serious voice, “Ste!”


    “Why did you pull me away?”


    Ste cried. “Don’t you like me? Wouldn’t you do anything for me? Why did you push me away?”


    “Ste!”


    Joseph frowned. “I already said that it is impossible for us! I can die for you because you are my best friend in this world!”


    “Friend?”


    Ste said in disbelief, “Back then, you were still a hot-blooded youth, yet you dared to go against the Kason Ward with me. You almost lost your life, and because you wanted to be with me, you gave up all your assets and gave up the inheritance of your family. You now told me that I was only your friend?”


    “That was the past.”


    Joseph seemed to wake up. “But you chose Kason Ward in the end, so we can only be friends. This is your choice! I said I will respect your choice! Always!”


    “Back then, I was the one who was confused...”


    Ste held Joseph’s arm tightly and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Sorry, in this world, you are the only one who treats me the best. Don’t leave me. I beg you.”


    Joseph saw that Ste was crying in sadness and fear. He calmed down a little and pinched the bridge of his nose. Then he gently pacified Ste. “Believe me. No matter who I am with in the future, I will not leave you alone. I will protect you.”


    Joseph’s voice was gentle and charming. “Don’t worry, we grew up together. When I was at my most difficult and most helpless time, it was you who apanied me andforted me. So, no matter when in the future, I will protect you. Whether you are my wife or my friend, I, Joseph, will guarantee that I will protect you with my greatest ability!”


    Ste looked at Joseph with tears in her eyes. “Because of Kason Ward, you hate me...”


    “I don’t hate you.”


    Joseph shook his head and said emotionally, “At that time, you were with Kason Ward. I was indeed sad and painful, and I was also unwilling to ept the fact, but I never hated you. My feelings for you have already surpassed love. You are my family, one of the most important rtives.”


    He then gently pushed Ste away. “Alright, let’s call it a day. My head hurts a little, and you are a little unstable. You should rest early. I will go to the deck to get some air.”


    “Joseph!”


    Seeing Joseph stand up, Ste hurriedly stood up as well. “Am I really important to you? Will you always protect me? Will you treat me as your most important rtive?”


    Joseph nodded without hesitation. Then, he smiled and said, “Don’t doubt it. You know that I am stubborn. I will do what I say.”


    Then, he said dotingly, “Alright, go back and rest. I’ll be leaving now.”


    “Then if I were to encounter danger with Isabe, who would you save first?”


    Ste suddenly said.


    Joseph was stunned.


    “I am the most important rtive to you, am I not? Then you can only save Isabe or me, who will you save?” Ste burst into tears.


    “This problem is not valid.”


    Joseph sighed. “Don’t be stubborn. Don’t let yourself think too much. Rest well.”


    Joseph walked out of the cabin.


    Ste looked at Joseph’s tall and broad back as he walked out of the cabin. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed forward recklessly.


    The stars flickered, and the night scenery was charming.


    In the dark blue sky, the stars were like diamonds, sprinkling thousands of silver ash, and the moonlight was bright and clear, like white jade.


    The party was over, and the yacht gradually quieted down.


    Isabe and Cedric looked at the stars for a while, and the wind rose.


    Cedric thought for a moment and sat up. “Although I really want to keep watching, the temperature is a bit low. Let’s go back.”


    Isabe wrapped the nket tightly and also sat up. “Didn’t you say you wanted to watch the sunrise? Are you going back now?”


    Cedric smiled. “The wind is strong. If we stay here tonight, we will not be watching the sunrise tomorrow. Everyone will watch us then.”


    “Why are they looking at us?”


    “Because we would bepletely frozen into two popsicles.”


    Cedric stood up. “Alright, although romance is good, you can’t get yourself sick. I’ll call you tomorrow to watch the sunrise. You should rest early today.”


    Isabe nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”


    Then she lowered her head and picked up her high heels.


    “I’ll help you wear it,” Cedric suddenly said.


    Isabe had already put her toes into her shoes and paused when she heard this.


    Cedric grabbed the shoes and lifted Isabe’s feet, carefully putting them into the shoes.


    Isabe’s face instantly turned red. “You really are a romantic person.”


    Cedric could not help butugh. “Remember that night when you left the high heels in my car? I wiped the high heels clean and put them in the box. I thought that I would meet you one day and return them to you. At that time, I didn’t know you were Isabe...”


    Cedric’s eyes flickered, and he felt a sense of happiness. “I simply felt that we were fated, so when I saw you wearing shoes today, I wanted to help you.”
