392 An Adult Cupid?
When Platt heard that Isabella had personally admitted her relationship with Joseph in public and even protected him, his heart broke, and he covered his chest.
Then, the eyes of Platt who claimed to be very manly actually turned red, and he said, “Isabella, your taste is really too bad. I’m too disappointed in you!” After saying that, he ran away sadly, leaving Isabella and Joseph in a mess...
“Well...”
“So...”
Joseph was the first to come back to his senses. He held Isabella’s face and said, “Who did you just say looked old? My face doesn’t have a single wrinkle!”
“Although you are successful, handsome and rich, you are really older than me. The Plum man is only 19 years old. Compared to him, you are too old.”
“OK.”
Joseph rolled his eyes as he said, “You call you a boy at the age of 19 a man? He even supported you. What does he know? He probably hasn’t even touched a woman...”
Isabella looked at Joseph with an awkward expression. “It is said that he has so many girlfriends. Every year, just the cost of the abortion fees for other girls is hundreds of thousands... In this respect, compared to you, who hasn’t slept with any woman for 30 years...”
.....
“Shut up! I, Joseph, have many women in my hands!”
Joseph exploded in an instant and wanted to pull Isabella back. Isabella couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t panic. I really like you, a man who has been keeping his virginity for 30 years. The plum man is young and handsome. He has been pestering me for so long. The reason why I don’t like him is just that he has too many women.”
In the audience seating, the principal of Richmond Arts University was chattering away about something when he suddenly realized that Cedric had long been distracted. He shrank his neck and whispered, “Mr. Cedric, did you hear me? Mr. Cedric?”
Cedric held a wine glass in his hand. His gaze was fixed on Joseph and Isabella who were joking and laughing in the distance. When he heard the principal’s words, Cedric came back to his senses. “Sorry. I didn’t hear you clearly. Say it again.”
At the venue.
“That’s good.”
Joseph looked at Isabella and pinched her face happily. “Because you performed well just now, I decided to let you go today. Otherwise, I need you to explain it to me in detail.”
Isabella immediately smiled and hugged Joseph. “I love you, Joseph.”
The two of them hugged each other and laughed. Gerry walked over and whispered a few words to Joseph, who then nodded and released Isabella. “Your vice principal, Mr. Richard, saw me and wanted to invite me over. After all, my grandpa has invested in Richmond Arts University. It’s not appropriate for me to reject your principal. Do you want to go together?”
Isabella immediately shook her head. “I won’t go. I can imagine how embarrassing the situation will be. You just go by yourself. I will go and eat something. After all, we will start dancing later.”
Joseph rubbed Isabella’s head and said seriously, “You must eat less. It will be bad if your skirt is burst.”
“Well...”
Isabella gave Joseph a punch. Joseph smiled and let go of her. “I’ll be back in ten minutes. You just eat and can’t talk to any man.”
“Got it, my overbearing Mr. Joseph!”
Isabella made a face at Joseph as she said, “Even if want, I won’t be so crazy to fool around with other men in just ten minutes of your absence. Hurry up and go!”
Joseph nodded and left in satisfaction.
Isabella walked to the food area and became the only girl in the area who was going to dance soon and still wanted to eat now.
She looked at the delicious snacks and placed two pieces on the plate. Just as she was about to enjoy the food, Isabella suddenly noticed a familiar person in the distance.
There were close to two thousand graduates, and this dance venue was rather large and spectacular. Therefore, the reason why Isabella could see this person was completely that she was strolling in the food area, where there were few people.
This familiar person was none other than the mixed-blood boy who had given Isabella the maple leaf when she left sadly after she had returned from Peace City. At that time, Joseph and Cedric had fought and ignored her.
From the book that he dropped last time; it could be seen that he was a university student. However, Isabella had never expected that this boy was actually also a student from Richmond Arts University. She thought of how this boy gave her a lucky maple leaf and said that as long as she carried it, good luck would befall her. Not long after, Joseph apologized to her and showed his feelings to her. Her happiness really came.
Isabella instantly felt that she should thank this sunny boy, so she immediately put down the food plates and walked across the crowd toward the boy.
He had yellow hair and dark blue eyes and was wearing a dark gray suit tonight with a sky-blue tie. Right now, he was talking and laughing with others holding red wine. His smile was really too brilliant.
“Excuse me.”
Isabella looked at that the boy and quickly walked through the crowd. Suddenly, she was hit by someone next to her.
“Sorry.”
The person apologized to her. Isabella immediately shook her head. “It doesn’t matter.” After saying that, she looked up again.
The boy of mixed-blood had gone.
“Where did he go?”
Isabella quickly caught up to the place where she saw the boy earlier and looked around, but there was no trace of the boy at all.
“What? How strange...”
Isabella scratched her head in confusion. “He was clearly nearby...”
Then she laughed at himself, “Is he an adult Cupid? Is he here to help me get through the emotional crisis?”
Just as she was thinking this, Isabella suddenly felt someone hugging her tightly from behind. His broad chest was warm and strong, and his tall body was always comforting.
Isabella instantly laughed. “Are you really afraid that I will run away? Did you run away before hearing what Richard said clearly? You are too stingy, you overbearing man...”
“Isabella...”
“I miss you so much...” a gentle and low voice came from behind.
Isabella instantly reacted and immediately turned around. She then froze.
Cedric lowered his head to look at her. There were gloom, sadness, and coldness in his dark eyes.
Isabella immediately stepped back and pushed him away.
Maybe her reaction was too intense, or maybe it Cedric was unprepared. When Isabella pushed him, Cedric stumbled backwards and crashed into a small tree behind him.
“I’m sorry, Cedric!”
Isabella did not want to hurt Cedric. Her actions just now were all due to her conditioned reflex. She hurriedly went to help Cedric up. Cedric immediately held her hand back. She hurriedly took a step back and retracted her hand.
Cedric smiled sadly. “Am I a dreadful monster? A few days ago, I could still hug you, kiss you, and discuss with you what to buy and cook. Why did everything change in just a few days?”
Cedric looked at Isabella, his expression filled with endless sorrow. “Why is it that in just a few days, the happiness that we promised each other is gone?”
