Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife

Chapter 293

293 Joseph, You’ve Changed

With Stella around, Joseph did not care about Isabella’s safety.

That was the difference.

Isabella dropped her phone that night. If Joseph couldn’t reach her on her phone, would he be a little anxious?

Or, would he take the time to call her to see whether she was safe?

Isabella’s eyes were dull.

Did Joseph ever like Isabella a little bit?

In a private room in Empire Entertainment.

As soon as Cedric entered, he was greeted by a strong smell of alcohol.

Joseph sat alone in the darkest corner of the large room, holding a glass of wine in his hand and lowering his head like a lonely child.

.....

Cedric walked over and poured himself a glass of wine. He said straightforwardly, “It’s easy to get drunk by yourself. I will drink with you.”

Joseph lifted his eyes and saw Cedric. He laughed. “I am not drunk. I still need to find her. I must keep my mind clear.”

Cedric looked at Joseph’s clear eyes and raised his eyebrows. “Looks like you aren’t drunk. Just now, Peter called me. I thought you were completely drunk.”

“I just want to be alone.”

Joseph put down his glass. “Do you believe me? I’m starting to regret it.”

“You regret it?”

“I regret that I didn’t treat her better before. I regret that when I went to save Stella that day, I didn’t even spend 10 minutes comforting her. Also, what I regret the most is that day in the hospital, I knew that she was following behind me, but I still did that in front of her and didn’t explain it to her.”

Joseph took a sip of wine. “I felt that she was mine. She could only depend on me in this world, so I was very confident that even if she was angry and jealous, she would beat me to vent her anger like before. But I never expected that she would leave a note ‘thank you for your care’ and leave silently... This is beyond my expectations. I didn’t expect this to happen.”

Cedric was slightly surprised when he heard what Joseph said, but then he understood. “Joseph, you’ve changed.”

“I’ve become garrulous, right?”

Joseph gave a self-deprecating smile. “Probably. In fact, I have never cherished her, and even bullied her. But I didn’t expect that when she was gone, I would be so flustered and afraid...”

After a pause, Joseph continued, “I only hope that she is hiding now. Then I still have a chance to find her and explain everything to her, but if something happens to her...”

“Are there no clues? Has Miss Ghost provided any useful information?”

“There isn’t much useful information. I am trying to retrieve the surveillance footage from the nearby cameras.” Joseph paused. “But it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. I’m afraid I won’t have enough time.”

When Cedric heard this, he patted Joseph and comforted him, “According to what you said before, she should be a very smart girl. She should just be hiding. Don’t worry too much. If you need anything from me, just say it. It is more convenient for me to work in the West City District.”

“Okay.”

Joseph’s eyes were dull. He turned to look at Cedric’s expression and blinked. “You seem to be in a good mood?”

Men were like children. When they had something fun and good to look at, they liked to show off. Cedric wanted to show off his beautiful sweetheart to his friends. However, Joseph was currently burning with anxiety. Cedric couldn’t bring up this topic to annoy Joseph, so Cedric didn’t say anything.

Cedric didn’t expect that Joseph would notice. How excited was Cedric?

“Sorry.”

Cedric felt that he had lost control of himself. “Is it a little too much? Maybe I can’t help it...”

“When people feel happy, even if they don’t say or do anything, the twinkle in their eyes is different.” Joseph put down his glass. “Tell me, are you going to get married soon?”

“This is possible.”

Cedric gave a little cough and shook his glass. “I’m going to tell her in a few days. I think she has a good impression of me, but I need to be gentle.”

“Didn’t she just break up with her ex-boyfriend? It won’t be easy for her to start a new relationship so soon.”

“It’s just a nominal ex-boyfriend.”

Cedric said disdainfully, “He cheated on her and even treated her as a tool to satisfy his sexual desire on the bed and a machine for producing children. What’s so good about him? She said that she must have lost her mind to fall in love with him.”

Joseph nodded and raised his glass. “Indeed. Good luck to you.”

“Thanks.”

Cedric smiled and raised his glass. “After you bring her back this time, you must cherish her. Sometimes, fate is hard to come by.”

“I will.”

Joseph and Cedric clinked glasses. “As long as she comes back safely, I will propose to her and swear that I will not embarrass her like this and let her down again.”

“Well, maybe we can have a wedding together. That will be the grandest wedding in Peace City!”

...

When Cedric returned home, it was already past one in the morning. The light in the living room was on. Isabella hugged a pillow and curled up into a ball on the sofa, burying her face in the pillow.

Cedric was a little surprised. “Isabella, it’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cedric saw that Isabella had closed her eyes and felt distressed. Isabella had fallen asleep just like that. She must get sleepy when she was waiting for Cedric.

Cedric looked at Isabella’s quiet look and took a blanket to wrap her up. Then, he carefully picked her up. Just as he was about to put her on the bed, her eyelashes trembled and she woke up.

Cedric hurriedly took a few steps forward and placed Isabella on the soft bed. Feeling guilty, he softly consoled, “Be good. Continue sleeping.”

Isabella did not continue sleeping. She blinked a few times and rubbed her eyes. She seemed to have completely woken up. Then, she immediately showed a big smile and sat up. “You’re back, Cedric. How did I fall asleep?”

Cedric looked at Isabella’s smiling face and felt that his heart was about to melt. He gently held Isabella’s hand and blamed, “I asked you to go to bed early. Why didn’t you listen to me? Lie down and sleep!”

“I made you some hangover soup.

“I left a note for you and wanted you to have it when you came back, but I was afraid you didn’t see it and would have a headache tomorrow,” Isabella said as she stood up, looking for slippers on the floor barefoot. She finally found her slippers under the sofa.

As Isabella spoke, she went to the kitchen. “So I waited for you. I didn’t expect to fall asleep.”

Cedric followed Isabella into the kitchen. Looking at her beautiful side profile, he said in relief, “You should have sent me a message. Then I would know.”
