192 The Most Beautiful Dance
Isabella was a little excited. âIâll go back and get change! Well, Iâm wearing no shoes!â
She turned around and was about to return to the room.
Joseph directly pulled Isabella back, then he held her waist and lifted her up. He let her stand on his clean and bright leather shoes. âYou donât need to go back. This is enough.â
Isabella looked at her dirty bare feet and flushed. âMy feet are dirty. I donât want to make your shoes dirty. And how can we dance like this?â
âYou still want to dance by yourself after drinking 11 shots?â
Joseph held Isabellaâs slender waist with her big hands. He said, âLetâs just dance like this.â
As he said this, he slowly moved his feet, and they started to dance slowly.
âWho was your partner at the formal ball tonight?â Isabella leaned against Joseph and her body was stiff. She felt a bit nervous.
âThe official ball?â
.....
Joseph thought for a moment. âIsnât it the official ball now? You are the champion in the drinking competition.â
Then, he smiled and said, âI heard that you even drank more than men today. In that case, who dared to fight with you and dance with me?â
Isabella stared blankly at Joseph and asked, âSo you havenât danced today?â
âNo, of course not.â
Joseph looked at the big eyes of Isabella seriously. He touched her small nose and said, âWith you here, how dare I dance with other women?â
Isabella suddenly felt that her cold heart was warm again after hearing Josephâs words.
She didnât know if Joseph said these on purpose to please her or the words were from the bottom of his heart. But she didnât want to know about it now.
It didnât matter. Even if it was just a lie, she was willing to sink into his gentle eyes tonight. One night was enough.
Isabella buried her head in Josephâs embrace and sniffed the scent of him. She relaxed her body and let Joseph guide her dance under the moonlight.
There was no elegant music and no charming lights. Nobody danced with them and nobody cheered for them.
Isabella was not even wearing a dress or high heels. She looked not elegant at all.
But she felt that this was the most beautiful dance she had ever had. Even she had been on the bigger stage and had much more audience.
But she was the most beautiful today.
âAre you asleep?â
Josephâs voice was as gentle as the moonlight. He was not overbearing and domineering at all tonight. And he made her feel at ease.
âNo.â
How could Isabella fall asleep at such a warm moment?
âYou have drunk too much. Even if you vomit now, you would still be half-drunk.â
Joseph did not notice Isabellaâs happiness and smiled. âThere are still three minutes left. Do you have the strength to cut the cake with me?â
âOf course.â
Joseph smiled and bent over to pick Isabella up. He walked up the stairs and let her stand beside him.
The cake was already in a mess, and it seemed not worth being cut. However, Joseph did not care about it at all. He picked up a piece of the cake and placed it on the tray. Then, he put the half-broken candled on the cake and lit them up.
The orange little flame gave off a warm glow in the night.
âHappy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you...â
Joseph sang in a deep voice. Isabella had never heard him sing before. She felt that it was funny for Joseph to sing the song. So, she laughed excitedly. âIâll sing for you! You can just make a wish!â
Joseph smiled and closed his eyes. Isabella looked at his handsome face and felt that every cell in her body was dancing.
âIâve made the wish.â
They blew out the candles.
Joseph reached out and handed the cake to Isabella. Although he didnât look excited, he was smiling. âI donât like dessert. You can eat this for me.â
âBut how can you not eat cake for your birthday?â
âWho said that one must eat cake for a birthday?â
âBut this is your birthday cake.â
âI told you to eat it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?â
âWell, I can eat it, but you have to eat a little too. Otherwise, your birthday wish cannot be fulfilled.â
âAre you cursing me?â
âI didnât curse you, but everyone said so. Can you just have a little...â
âYouâre so annoying. If you donât want to eat, then you donât need to!â
Joseph was impatient. He picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into Isabellaâs mouth.
âHow can you do this?â
Isabella was unprepared for it. In an instant, her face was covered with cream. She complained, âWhat are you doing? You made the cream on my hair!â
Joseph laughed out loud.
Joseph looked at Isabellaâs face and said mockingly, âYou really look like a monkey who is stealing food.â
âYouâre the monkey!â
Isabella got angry, and she immediately put the cake in her hand on Josephâs face.
Isabella laughed out loud.
âYou really donât look like a monkey. You look like a gorilla!â
Joseph was stunned and hurriedly wiped the cream off his face. No one dared to do this to him. He said angrily, âIsabella, what are you doing?â
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Josephâs voice turned cold. Isabella suddenly realized that Joseph was not a friend who could be joked casually. She was scared and said quickly, âI didnât mean it!â
After saying that, she turned and ran.
âDo you think your apology is so useful?â
Joseph pulled Isabella back and pressed her face into the cake.
âWow.â
Isabella cried, âSorry, I shouldnât have done so. How can you change so easily? Help, grandpa! Help!â
âWell, you really dare to do this to me, and now one is going to help you. Isabella, today I will teach you a lesson!â
Joseph didnât care about his image. He put the cream on Isabellaâs face excitedly. The vast Wilson Manor was instantly filled with Josephâs hearty laughter and Isabellaâs cries.
The bell rang in the distance. The midnight wind was cool, but there was a warm and sweet scent...
On the third floor, there was a room with no lights on. The moonlight shone in the room. Charlie leaned on his cane and watched the scene downstairs. He let out a sigh of relief.
William whispered, âMaster Wilson, you can finally be at ease. Mr. Josephâs birthday banquet today was very successful. Look how happy he is.â
âIsabella didnât come to cut the cake with him. If this happened in the past, Joseph would definitely be furious and directly cancel this birthday banquet. I didnât expect that they could still be so happy like this. Joseph has really changed a lot.â
