Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife

Chapter 370

370 He Is Behind All This

Isabella was stunned.

“Cedric is no fool. Although you have not said anything to him, when you lost consciousness because of those drugs, you only recognize me. That’s proof enough.”

Joseph put his hand on Isabella’s chest. “Because of Stella, you have lost faith in me. You don’t know how to choose, but your heart chose for you.”

Isabella stared at Joseph, “But Cedric...”

“But Cedric saved your life. And he was by your side when you were sad and helpless...”

Joseph helped Isabella put on his shirt. His eyes darkened. “We owe him one, so I will go with you to see him. I will give him whatever he wants, but not you. Got it?”

Isabella looked at Joseph with passion. “Are you going with me? You are so nice.”

“I’m nice in a lot of ways. You haven’t realized it yet.”

Joseph smiled and rubbed Isabella’s head, “He saved you, so I am very grateful to him. Otherwise, I might regret it for the rest of my life... But I promise that I will never give you the chance to owe anyone any favors in the future because I will never let you be alone again.”

.....

Isabella couldn’t help but throw herself into Joseph’s arms and said, “I’m falling in love with you, Joseph. You have to be like this forever.”

“Of course.”

Joseph pinched Isabella’s nose and smirked, “I will love you with all my heart and soul. You are mine now and I will never leave you. You will never feel helpless again.”

Isabella thought about it and said seriously, “What did I say last night? Did I embarrass myself? Tell me, and I’ll see if there is anything I can change.”

Joseph looked back at Isabella and said, “Actually, you know yourself quite well. You were indeed a disgrace. Are you sure you want to know?”

Isabella quickly nodded. “Yeah. Don’t keep me in suspense.”

Joseph thought about it again. “Well, you said and I quote, ‘Joseph, I love you so much. I want to eat you up.'”

Isabella’s face got red. After she changed her clothes and ate her lunch, she still felt embarrassed.

How could she be so brazen?

How could a pure girl like her say something like that?

In the suite of the hotel, Joseph had finished the lunch in front of him. Isabella was eating a steak and a plate of corn salad after lunch. It was like she went hungry for a century.

Joseph took out his phone and slipped through the news, then handed it to Isabella. “Look at yesterday’s news.”

Isabella took the phone and widened her eyes in surprise. “Lukas... Lukas and...”

“Well, the topic of ‘Lukas and Miles having an affair’ has been ranked first on the Internet for the last 10 hours today. In other words, someone released their video 10 hours ago.”

Joseph looked at his watch. “It’s 2:30 in the afternoon. The release time is early in the morning.”

Isabella shook her head. “Lukas also took the drug. Lukas and I were both being framed! Lukas is innocent! It was Miles and Director Lee’s fault. Why would Lukas take the blame? Lukas has just gotten married. This news would be a devastating blow to his career and future!”

Joseph looked at Isabella who was anxious and a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes. “Isabella, Cedric was behind all this.”

Isabella froze.

“You believe that Lukas took the drug and was also being framed. But it doesn’t mean that I believe him, nor will Cedric.”

Isabella came back to her senses and stood up. “No, I have to make it clear to Cedric now. Lukas is innocent!”

“It is good that Lukas and Miles have only lost their reputations. After all, Lukas is a celebrity. He should pay attention to his privacy and safety. He made a mistake, and that was the price...”

Joseph held Isabella’s hand. “But have you ever thought about how Director Lee is doing now? When I left the company just now, I asked my secretary to collect some information. Director Lee is asking for a long-term sick leave from the management company today. Who knows how long Director Lee will leave...”

Isabella covered her mouth in shock. “Joseph, do you mean that...”

“No, it was just a guess. I just felt that he did not get himself involved in this trending gossip not because it was for the best... This might be the worst-case scenario for him.”

Joseph pressed Isabella back into her seat. “It’s normal for Cedric to be angry about this matter. You left him because of the conspiracy that these few people created. What he did was not too much for someone in his position. He knew Lukas was family and cut him some slacks. If you chose Cedric yesterday and not me...”

Joseph paused, “Maybe I was more ruthless than Cedric.”

Isabella looked at Joseph’s serious and cold face and suddenly thought of Cedric. Although Cedric had a complicated background, he had always been such a gentle person...

Isabella didn’t expect this to happen...

Her choice had indeed hurt him.

Isabella hung her head. “I am the one they want. I am the one they are after. Director Lee and Miles are not targeting Lukas. On the contrary... I think they are after me.”

Joseph was puzzled. “For you? For a small role like you? That’s impossible. You are not worthy of the trouble.”

Isabella smiled bitterly. “I found out that Miles was pregnant with Director Lee’s child. I thought that they didn’t know I knew, but that night I realized... I dragged Lukas into this matter...”

Joseph frowned.

...

Joseph and Isabella had underestimated Cedric’s sensitivity to this matter. They had been contacting Cedric for the entire afternoon but weren’t able to reach him.

People at his company didn’t know where he had gone either.

Seeing that it was late, Isabella grabbed the bag she had left at Vans Nightclub last night and found the key to Cedric’s place in the Golden Apartment.

“Peter and Joey said that Cedric was not in the apartment,” Joseph said directly.

“Even if he isn’t there, I still want to leave him a note.”

“I feel bad if I can’t find him today,” Isabella said sincerely.

Joseph thought about it and nodded. He rubbed Isabella’s head. “Alright, it’s all up to you. In the future, I will accompany you and support you no matter what you do. But be faithful to me, okay?”

Isabella pulled Joseph up and they headed to the Golden Apartment.
