357 Please Give Him Back to Me
Isabe eximed, “If it wasn’t for Miss Ghost, I would have been raped by those men. If it wasn’t for Cedric, I would have been sold to a terrifying ce by Miss Ghost and never came back! By that time, will you look for me? Will you pity me? Will you care about me? Why should I forgive you? Why should I take the consequences for your mistake? Why should I give my life to a disloyal scumbag like you?”
Looking at the out-of-control Isabe, Joseph ignored her beating, stepped forward, and pulled her into his arms. He hugged her tightly and said, “Isabe... Calm down.”
“No! I can’t calm down! I’ve already calmed for too long!”
Joseph held Isabe still in his arms. Isabe couldn’t free herself, so she grabbed the clothes on Joseph’s back tightly. Every nerve in her body was tense. She cried loudly, “How could you change so fast? You’ve told me that you wanted to marry me and be my husband and that you would learn to love me. I was so happy, but in the end, you didn’t even care about my life...”
Joseph didn’t know what to say when she heard Isabe’s cry. His eyes were like ck ink. He hugged Isabe tightly. Holding her exhausted body, Joseph murmured, “Isabe...”
There was a thump outside.
The muffled sound was apanied by a familiar and subtle crying sound. Isabe and Joseph were stunned and looked in the direction the sound came from.
“Angelina, please let me see grandpa.”
Ste fell to the ground, her beautiful face full of tears. She said, “I just heard that grandpa is seriously ill. I have no other intention.”
.....
Angelina stood at the door with her hands nted against her waist in anger and said, “Ste, it’s the matter in my family. You have no right to visit my grandpa. Get out now! Don’t force me to be rude to you!”
“Angelina, I was wrong... It’s all my fault in the past. Please allow me to see him. Come on.”
Ste got up and wanted to hug Angelina but was shoved aside and fell to the ground. Angelina shouted at her, “Ste! No matter what, you are not allowed to see my grandpa!”
Isabe felt Joseph’s body tremble.
Despite holding Isabe, Joseph turned his face to look at Ste. He was shocked and worried.
Noticing his reaction, Isabe thought about it and loosened her hands. She stepped back and said, “Go and take a look.”
Joseph came back to his senses and looked at Isabe who was weeping. He said with affection, “Isabe, Ste, and I are not what you think we are. The rtionship between us may be much moreplicated than you thought. I will exin it to you at the right time, okay?”
In the distance, Ste cried bitterly.
Isabe nodded in silence, “Go.”
“All right.”
Joseph released his hold on Isabe. Isabe felt the warmth leave her hand and felt a little sad.
Unexpectedly, Joseph turned back and held her hand again, “Isabe,e with me.”
Isabe Looking at Joseph’s serious expression, Isabe felt surprised.
“I don’t want any misunderstanding between us. I want us to be honest with each other forever, do you get it?”
Joseph raised his hand to wipe tears on Isabe’s face and said, “Get your head out of the clouds.”
Isabe was touched, tears welling up in her eyes. Joseph smiled and led her quickly towards Ste. He shouted, “Angelina! Stop! Don’t do that to Ste!”
Angelina looked up and saw it was Isabe and Joseph. She said happily, “Isabe...”
When Ste saw Joseph holding Isabe’s hand tightly, she had mixed feelings.
Isabe saw the shock and sense of loss in Ste’s eyes.
“Ste, why are you here?”
Joseph crouched down to support Ste, and said with a little anger, “Where is Sylvia? The doctor specifically told you not toe out now. You are so emotional. It’s not good for your recovery.”
Ste wrapped her arms around Joseph’s waist and buried her face in his arms. She cried, “Joseph, please let me see grandpa. I was wrong. It’s my fault that Isabe suffered those things. I will never do it again...”
“Grandpa is fine. You can rest assured.”
Joseph pulled Ste up and said, “If grandpa knew you came here, he would get angry. How about William sending you back?”
Then he called out, “William!”
“Got it!” William answered.
Ste looked at Joseph’s determined and distant expression and said in a daze, “Joseph, so you didn’t either forgive me, did you?”
“I mean, the past is the past.”
Joseph sighed softly and gently wiped away the tears on Ste’s face. He did it patiently like he wasforting a child, “Go back now and take care of your health. Take your medicine on time. I will forgive you if you follow these things I told you.”
Ste ignored Joseph’s words and turned to look at Isabe with teary eyes.
Isabe was stunned and said nervously, “I already know about you deleting my texts. I’ll let go of this matter. Ms. Ste, go back and have a good rest. Joseph and I...”
“Miss Isabe!”
William bent down and was about to take Ste away when Ste suddenly broke free from him and grabbed Isabe’s trousers. Ste screamed, “Sorry, I was wrong! I lied! If it weren’t for me that night, you couldn’t have been hurt, but I can live without Joseph! It’s all my fault! You can beat me and scold me! Give Joseph back to me! Please!”
Isabe did not expect this toe. She was so frightened that she took a step back. Joseph immediately frowned, “Ste, what are you saying? William!”
William made a sign, and several bodyguards came forward to pull Ste away forcibly.
“No! I don’t want to go back! Let me finish my words!”
Ste held onto Isabe’s ankle tightly. Tears fell from her face as she screamed in pain and despair, “I can’t bear watching my happiness be taken away by you. I won’t be able to live without Joseph! If there were no misunderstandings... If I had other choices...”
Ste cried bitterly when she was dragged away. The voice echoed in the corridor, “Miss Isabe, please don’t take my Joseph away. Don’t take away my hope. Joseph, I do love you. I was forced to leave you back then. I don’t want to leave you. I don’t want to...”
Ste’s voice finally disappeared in the distance. Isabe looked at Ste’s tears on the ground and was lost in thought.
