446 A Turtle Ring


    Joseph looked at Isabe’s reddish, slightly exasperated face, and gently took her hand. He looked down at her. “I love you more than everything. How could I hate you?”


    Isabe immediately blinked her big eyes and acted cute. “How much do you love me?”


    Joseph thought about it seriously. “I am a businessman. I will never make a loss when doing business. You are a glutton and I am willing to keep you by my side. Of course, it’s love.”


    Isabe couldn’t help butugh. After thinking for a moment, she gave another punch to Joseph. “No! I don’t like this reason at all. You really don’t know how to please girls!”


    “Then what should I say?”


    “Praise me for my beauty and wisdom. Call me a goddess.”


    At this moment, Joseph was kneeling on the ground, hugging Isabe. He wore a formal ck bow tie around his neck, like a schoolboy who was reading carefully to his teacher. His eyes were focused deeply on Isabe, which could captivate thousands of hearts. He said, “You are beautiful and cute. You are smart and wise, like a goddess.”


    “No! That’s not right! That’s not the feeling I want!”


    Isabe shook her head, thought for a moment, and said unhappily in a low voice, “Forget it. You have a low EQ, and you really don’t know how to make a girl happy. Only I, such a generousdy, will ept you.”


    .....


    Then she wrapped her arms around Joseph’s neck and said in a coquettish voice, “Well, darling, since we have made up, let’s look at the ring you gave me. If it’s not good enough, our fight will go on.”


    “It must be marvelous!” Joseph was full of confidence. “I guarantee it will satisfy you!”


    Isabe opened the ring box with a smile and was astonished for seconds.


    Then, she quickly closed the box and muttered, “I must have opened it wrong.” Then she opened it again and waspletely stunned. She didn’t know what to say now.


    Joseph proudly tapped Isabe’s head. “What’s wrong? Are you too excited to speak? The main diamond, though only 16 carats, is arge emerald that is rarely seen. That’s 24 carats plus the decorative diamonds on the ring. I’m sure you’d like that, wouldn’t you?”


    Isabe looked up with an unhappy face. “24 carats ... That’s not bad ... but why is it shaped like a turtle?”


    The ring in Isabe’s hand was arge green diamond adorned with four paws, a head, and a short tail. The shape was very lovely and delicate. It was a rare treasure. She could imagine the ring was expensive, but...


    Isabe thought, ‘But it’s a proposal ring. Why does Joseph propose using a turtle ring? That is insane!’


    “Turtles are long-lived animals! This ring represents our eternal love!”


    Joseph said proudly, “And emerald represents eternity, which means that our love will never fade away. Darling, I said I would give you a surprise, so I definitely do as I said! How about it? Do you like it? Do you really like it?”


    Joseph’s words and expressions totally spoke of his excitement and anticipation, and Isabe didn’t want to let him down, so she put the ring on her finger. She studied it carefully. “Well... The meaning is pretty good... Who inspired you?”


    “Although I invited the best jewelry designer, I thought of this idea with Gerry.”


    Joseph looked up and said proudly, “We went through a lot of ideas together, and we decided on a fox, but then we found that it wasn’t suitable for a big diamond. So then we decided on a turtle! It’s the cutest! It suits you best!”


    Isabe looked at Joseph, thinking that he must have forgotten that the turtle also had a bad meaning. She said sadly, “Darling, in that case, can I choose the wedding ring?”


    “Why don’t you leave them all to me? Just marry me.”


    Isabe made a sound and hung herself on Joseph, trying her best to act cute. “Let me do it! Darling, let me choose! Although in your eyes, I am not good at it, I have my own taste! The wedding ring can’t be changed casually, and it will be with me all my life!”


    She was afraid that Joseph would make an even weirder one. That would be a shame with so many people at the wedding.


    “Alright, I’ll let you choose. Why are you so nervous?”


    Joseph carried Isabe to the side of the flower pond and said gently, “Actually, my dear, we haven’t finished tonight’s event yet.”


    “Not done yet?” Isabe looked around. “What else is there? Didn’t you already ask me to marry you? I’m quite satisfied now.”


    Joseph jumped into the flower pool with Isabe. He turned on the shlight on his phone and shook it at the helicopter that was still hovering in the sky. The helicopter immediately hung down the wire rope to hook up the entire flower pool and then brought it up!


    Isabe swayed and she fell onto the pile of dolls. She said in horror, “What are you doing?”


    “Didn’t you say that you want a small boat in the river?”


    Joseph proudly looked down at Isabe. “There is no point in going on a yacht and there are too many people around. A real boat trip should be just the two of us enjoying a romantic evening in a boat.”


    “Oh ... So this is not a swimming pool, but a small boat.”


    Isabe checked the boat and then said earnestly, “But I think we should seriously discuss the matter of you, Ste, and the child in her belly instead. I still can’t get over it.”


    “Didn’t I say it before? It has nothing to do with me anyway.”


    The boat was ced smoothly in the middle of theke, and the helicopter and yacht left quickly. All that was left of the lightedke was the boat covered with flowers and dolls, and the atmosphere was suddenly romantic.


    “Make it clear. I didn’t get you just now.”


    Isabe thought about it and hugged her knees. She seemed to be a little disappointed. “Cedric and Ste worked together to separate us... I really did not expect this. I wonder what exactly changed Cedric.”


    Joseph remained silent and took out a small box from under the pile of dolls. “I also never thought that they would cooperate... Cedric is bing more and more unfathomable.”


    Isabe was silent for a while. She looked at Joseph seriously. “Honey ... Then do you think you can understand Ste?”


    ...


    In the VIP ward on the top floor of the Ayanna Hospital.


    There was a noise in the corridor.


    “Sir! Please mind your manners in the ward!”


    “Who are you? You are not allowed to enter the ward!”


    “Get lost! How dare you bother Mr. Cedric!”


    The door of the ward was mmed open, and Cedric came in lividly. Ste was sitting on the bed eating fruit. Her beautiful tiny face was a little pale and showed her frailty. She was filled with questions. “Cedric?”
