385 Always Be By Your Side


    Joseph pressed Isabe directly on the operating table. As Joseph kissed her, he smiled evilly, “Refuse to be pressed? I’ll tell you that you will only be pressed!”


    “Joseph! It is a public ce!”


    “Ouch! Isabe, where are you kicking?”


    “Joseph, you rogue!”


    Joseph and Isabe identally pressed the button for seven consecutive shots.


    The shing lights kept shining. The photos of Joseph and Isabe fighting were taken.


    Joseph released Isabe and took out the seven photos. Isabe instantly snatched them over andughed. “Joseph, you are so embarrassing. You are so cute when you cover your lower body.”


    “When you are pressed, you are not cute at all.”


    Joseph took out his wallet, proudly withdrew the photo that Isabe was pressed, and put it into his wallet. “Alright. I’ve already known your ultimate purpose for the headshots. I can satisfy you.”


    .....


    “But not this one!”


    Isabe immediately protested to grab the wallet. “You said this one isn’t cute at all! Let’s change it!”


    “I like this one,” Joseph smirked and raised his wallet high.


    “No, darling.”


    Isabe climbed up Joseph and reached out to grab the wallet. “Change it. Change into another one.”


    Joseph looked down at the anxious appearance of Isabe rubbing against him. Her lips were pink and full, and she pouted, pretending to be angry. Joseph couldn’t help butugh. When Isabe saw his sly smile, Isabe suddenly narrowed her eyes, hooked his neck, and kissed him. Joseph was stunned and immediately hugged her and responded to her kiss.


    Isabe’s n seeded. She giggled and snatched the wallet from Joseph’s hand. Then, Isabe pushed him away, pulled out the photo that showed she forcefully kissed Joseph, and put it into his wallet. “Rece that shameful photo with this domineering one!”


    Joseph didn’t say anything but looked at Isabe gently and said with a good temper, “What about put both of them in?”


    Isabe pulled out the original photo with a smile. She suddenly found something had been brought out. Isabe hurriedly bent down to pick it up. When she picked it up, she couldn’t help but be stunned.


    It was an old photograph with a sense of age.


    In the photo, there was a beautiful middle-aged couple. In front of them stood a boy about eleven or twelve years old. Isabe looked carefully. “It is...”


    “It is the photo of my parents and me.”


    Joseph didn’t hide anything. “I wanted to tell youter that they have already passed away. So it’s impossible for them to attend our wedding.”


    Isabe suddenly remembered that Cedric had said that Joseph’s mother was killed, and Joseph had seen his mother’s corpse with his own eyes. As a result, Joseph shut himself up for some time when he was a child. Thus, Isabe instantly felt a little ufortable. “Don’t put my photo in your wallet. Leave Mr. and Mrs. Wilson’s photo in it.”


    Joseph shook his head, took the photos from Isabe, and put them in his wallet.


    Isabe noticed that Joseph put the photo he took with his parents in with the backside up, and then put the two he took with Isabe in with the front up.


    “They have passed away, so it doesn’t matter anymore.”


    Joseph closed his wallet and ced his hand on Isabe’s shoulder. “We have to face life forward. To me, the living is more important than the departed, so I only need to see you now.”


    Isabe’s eyes shed. “Can you tell me how Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Joseph passed away? How long ago?”


    “My father passed away because of illness. At that time, I was 13 years old.” Joseph calmly put his wallet into his pocket as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. “Then, two yearster, when I was 15 years old, my mother, who took care of me alone, was killed.”


    “She was...”


    “Yes, it’s a robbery.”


    Joseph casually said, “Seeing that my mother’s car was worth a lot of money, the robber wanted to rob it. But my mother resisted. Thus, he identally killed my mother.”


    “I see...”


    Isabe lowered her head, and her eyes flickered. “Did Mrs. Wilson usually go out alone?”


    “No, she would bring two assistant bodyguards.”


    Joseph smiled, seemingly resignedly. “Although my mother was in a wealthy family, her family couldn’t bepared with the Wilson family. When she was in college, she and my father loved each other at first sight. Then, they got married. So my mother usually didn’t act like ady. At most, she had one or two assistant bodyguards to follow her out. That time, it was said that she suddenly went out at night, and she didn’t inform the bodyguards. As a result, it happened.”


    “Have the murderer been found?” Isabe hurriedly asked.


    Joseph fixed his gaze. “Of course, the case was solved very quickly. The murderer was also sentenced to death quickly. He was executed with a shot.”


    Looking at Joseph wearing a calm expression, Isabe wanted to ask him about his autism. However, on second thought, his mother must have died miserably at that time. It had caused an indelible blow to Joseph’s young heart. Since that was the case, it would only make Joseph sad if Isabe mentioned it again.


    Therefore, Isabe decided not to ask. Then, she raised her feet and reached out to touch Joseph’s temples. Isabeforted Joseph, “It’s good that that bastard has been dead. Mrs. Wilson must have been consoled.”


    Joseph looked at Isabe trying tofort him like an elder sister and smiled as he held Isabe’s hand. “Why are you touching my temples?”


    “I want to touch your head tofort you. But since I can’t reach your head, I can only touch your temples,” Isabe replied especially seriously.


    Joseph burst out intoughter.


    Joseph couldn’t help but lean over and hug Isabe. “Can you touch it this time?”


    Isabe immediately patted Joseph’s head, her eyes beaming with joy. “I can touch your head. I’ve touched it. Darling, don’t be sad. Don’t be miserable. In the future, I will apany you. I will always be by your side.”


    Joseph smiled. “Your father was killed by the explosion, but you came tofort me.”


    “It isn’t the same.”


    Isabe said with all seriousness, “When my father passed away, I was only five years old. All my memories of him were limited to the fact that I wanted his warmth and the sense of security he gave me. But in fact, many of them were just my fantasies. If it weren’t for that photo, I wouldn’t have been able to remember what he looked like.”


    “Didn’t you say that you saw your father was blown to ashes?”


    Isabe couldn’t help but cover her mouth andugh.


    “I was just teasing you. How could my mother let me see that? When I went there, my father’s body had been pulled away by the police, but...”


    “But what?”


    “But I remember the smell in the air...” Isabe paused, “The smell of charred flesh.”


    Joseph was stunned for a moment. “I remember that you don’t eat roasted food...”


    Isabe immediately smiled mischievously and flicked Joseph’s nose.


    “When we first went to Tears of Blue Mirror, there was a bonfire party at night. You asked someone to send me a barbecue. I didn’t eat but went to the health club. You repulsed me for being finicky. You finally know why, don’t you?”
