285 My Morality Is Fine!
Cedric stared at Isabella in a daze.
âFind the right person and stay together forever.â
Cedric tightened his fingers gradually. But his gaze became gentle again.
Isabella didnât let him down.
She made a perfect speech.
Isabella turned to Cedric, probably because his gaze was too burning. âWhatâs wrong, Cedric? Is my opinion too absurd for you?â
âNo.â
Cedric lowered her head and picked up a potato. He held back the joy and said, âYou said it well.â
After a pause, he smiled and said, âI hope my future wife can think the same way. Otherwise, a man like me will be single forever.â
.....
Isabella couldnât help but laugh.
âAlthough you had a lot of girlfriends, I know you are a good person.â
Cedric raised an eyebrow. âHow so?â
âYour attitude and temperament made me feel so.â
Isabella took the potato from Cedricâs hand and said, âIâll take care of the kitchen, why donât you take a rest?â
âI like to cook too. Let me help out!â
Cedric picked up another potato and began to peel it, âI also like to chat with you, listen to you analyze about me.â
Isabella smiled. âArenât you afraid that I will speak ill of you?â
âNo, I know you wonât. I like being praised,â Cedric said happily.
Isabella could not help but say, âI think your best quality is honesty. So your future wife wonât mind that you have a list of friends with benefits. And you said you could do anything for your wife, so you would certainly be loyal, right?â
âAbsolutely!â
âMarriage is a combination of responsibilities and love. My morality is fine. I swear with the offspring of the Stretton family.â Cedric said proudly.
âI see, I see.â Isabella suddenly thought of Jane. She secretly said, âCedric, how do you think about...â
âAbout what?â
âCedric, didnât you say that you wish your future wife has a similar figure and hairstyle as me?â Isabella pulled at her hair.
âYes.â
A hint of joy flashed through Isabellaâs eyes. âWhat if she is a bit active, but doesnât mess around and knows when to be serious?â
When Cedric heard this, she looked at Isabella meaningfully. There was a hint of expectation in her eyes. âOf course, as I said, I like outgoing and interesting girl.â
âShe studied art and had a boyfriend. She was younger than you. Just like me. Is that okay?â Isabella gestured.
Looking at Isabellaâs flushed and excited face, Cedric suddenly guessed Isabella suddenly understood his intention. So he narrowed his eyes, and asked, âNo problem at all ... So?â
âI have a good friend!â
Isabella grabbed Cedricâs sleeve happily. âShe is beautiful and crazy. She is about the same height as me and she studies art. When do you want me to introduce her to you?â
âYour best friend?â
Cedric pursed her lips and said with a smile, âLetâs talk about it later when Iâm not busy. I have to attend the blind date my family arranged for me tomorrow.â
âYou can see it as a blind date too!â Isabella was a little anxious. She did not want a man as good as Cedric to be snatched away by another girl.
Cedric raised an eyebrow. âUnless I can bring a woman to my parents and tell them I have a fiancée. Otherwise, I wonât be able to escape the blind date tomorrow! My grandfather, my great grandfather... everyone is waiting for my marriage!â
Isabella wrinkled her nose. âI see.â
Cedric looked meaningfully at Isabella. âWhatâs wrong?â
âDonât agree to her tomorrow.â Isabella thought about it, âMy best friend is really good. You should give her a chance, and also give you a chance.â
Cedric looked at Isabellaâs conflicted expression, smiled, and rubbed her head. âAlright, Iâll promise you. Move aside now, Iâll cook.â
Isabella immediately said, âNah, Iâm the cook today. We said it!â
Cedric pushed Isabella away. âWhy donât you help me out? As the host, I should cook for you today. You can cook for me in the future.â
Isabella was touched. âCedric, thatâs so nice of you!â
Cedric smiled, a bright light flashing in his eyes.
Cedricâs phone rang.
Isabella reminded, âYour phone rang.â
Cedric wiped her hands. Seeing that it was Joseph, he picked up her phone in a good mood, âHello? Did you get hit by that heroine again?â
âCedric, I need your help.â
Hearing Josephâs tone, Cedric immediately became serious. Then, he smiled at Isabella and walked into the living room with her phone. âWhat can I do for you?â
âI know that West District is under the control of the Stretton family. Can you find a person for me? She is called Miss Ghost!â
Cedric was stunned. âWhat happened?â
âMy fox...â
Joseph lowered his voice, âMy fox ran away from home last night and went to West District. She might have been taken away by a person called Miss Ghost.â
âWhat? How can you let a girl go to that place alone? Do you know how chaotic it could be at night?â Cedric asked excitedly.
âStella committed suicide yesterday...â
Josephâs voice was filled with guilt. âI was indeed negligent,â he said.
Noticing the worry in Josephâs tone, Cedric stopped criticizing him. âDonât worry, I will ask Peter to send you the specific address and range. I donât like that Miss Ghost recently either. If she provokes you, do whatever you want!â
Hanging up the phone, Cedric found Isabella standing next to the door frame looking at him.
âDid I scare you?â
Cedricâs expression softened. âIt was a friend asking for a favor. Donât be afraid.â
Isabella shook his head. âThe Miss Ghost you just mentioned is exactly the woman who wanted to take me away last night, right?â
âYes.â
Cedric nodded and smiled. She stood up and hugged Isabella. âItâs fine now. Donât worry. I wonât let you in that kind of danger again. Letâs go on cooking.â
...
At a hair salon in the West District, which was busy at night and gloomy during the daytime.
Seeing Gerry enter with a group of bodyguards in black, several girls dressing fancy screamed in fear.
Miss Ghost was dragged out of the inner room by a bodyguard.
She let out a scream after being thrown on the ground.
Miss Ghost screamed, âWhat are you doing? Did I offend you? Why are you guys so rude?â
