320 Look, an Airplane
Tears streamed down Stellaâs cheeks. âIn so many desperate nights, that man treated me like a weak doll and manipulated me at will. He threatened and frightened me. His identity allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Killing a person was as simple as crushing an ant for him. I deeply knew how terrifying he was, so I never dared to tell Joseph the truth. I would rather Joseph hate me for the rest of my life than to see him in danger for me!â
Isabellaâs mind was blank.
âWeâve missed each other. We thought we were smart, but our arrogance cost our relationship. I felt I was dirty and was no longer worthy of Joseph.â
Stella tugged at her hair in pain. âI only knew he was the best man for me when Joseph came to save me from the kidnappers regardless of the danger!â
Isabellaâs eyes flickered. She was shocked by Stella and Josephâs rough past.
âSorry, I didnât call you here today just to tell you about the past.â
Stella held Isabellaâs hand. âI just want to tell you Joseph and I are over. After so many years, he finally fell in love with a woman, and that woman is you. Can you forgive him? Donât make him angry or upset for an insignificant woman like me, okay? He is just a big kid, a cold-faced but soft-hearted big kid! He kissed me that day because he couldnât restrain the emotions he has been bottling up for so long. He would never do that again!â
Looking at a pitiful Stella, Isabella felt a hole in her heart. Isabella had been jealous before, but after hearing Stellaâs heart-wrenching confession, she simply became desperate.
Thus, Isabella was silent for a while before saying, âSince Joseph loves you so much, he wonât fall in love with me. Maybe I can temporarily become a substitute and make him happy for a few days, but ... but I donât want to. I donât want to become a substitute for anyone, not even Ms. Stella.â
.....
âCan you give me one day?â
âTrust me. I know Joseph very well. I know how to persuade him. You donât have to worry about anything today. I will make things clear with Joseph and make him pursue you seriously. We look alike. I believe he will fall in love with you very soon. He will love you with all his heart!â Stella said sincerely and grasped Isabellaâs hands.
Half an hour later, Isabella left Stellaâs room. For some reason, she felt Stellaâs sincere words did not relax her at all. Instead, it made her feel sad and lost.
But for a moment, Isabella couldnât tell why.
Perhaps ignorance was a blessing. Some things were better left unsaid.
Isabella thought about making things clear with Cedric after attending the wedding. She felt it would be more suitable for her to be his sister. However, after listening to Stella, she felt Joseph was simply unreliable.
There were so many misunderstandings between Joseph and Stella. They loved each other to the bone. Even if Joseph really married Isabella, would he be loyal to her?
Once something happened to Stella, would Joseph leave Isabella immediately like that night?
Or, once the misunderstandings between Joseph and Stella were resolved, would Isabella be immediately kicked out of the house by Joseph?
Isabella did not dare to think about it. She sighed and felt an unprecedented heaviness in her heart. âWhy is my life so melodramatic...?â
âMelodramatic?â
Cedric suddenly hugged Isabella from behind, scaring her. She rubbed her forehead, relaxed, and gently pushed Cedric away. âCedric, are you done?â
âWhere did you go?â
Cedric was only wearing beach shorts. Her upper body was bare. He tilted his head and looked at Isabella in confusion. âWhy arenât you enjoying the sun?â
âWell..., I went to the bathroom. As for sunbathing... Iâm afraid Iâll get tanned, so I donât like the sun,â Isabella said as she organized her words.
âFine.â
Cedric sized up Isabella from head to toe and could not help but laugh. âYou wouldnât come to the yacht to play but forget to bring a swimsuit, would you?â
âI...â
âI just donât like to bask in the sun!â Isabella instantly felt like she was a country girl who had just entered the city.
âAlright.â
Cedric smirked and took out a box from behind him. âI knew I should have prepared this.â
Isabella opened the box and saw that it was a very sexy and pretty white bikini.
âGo and change. Let me see it later.â
Cedric smiled at Isabella and gently pushed her.
Isabella suddenly felt Cedric seemed to be in a good mood today...
How should she put it? Cedric was smiling and making jokes. He was not that serious anymore. And he was even kind of naughty.
Isabella was walking towards the room when a beauty walked out of the room on the said. She had slender legs and slim waists...
Isabella looked up and was so scared that she almost fell to the ground.
Doris was wearing a fashionable pink swimsuit. It was basically just a belt...
Oh my god! Why was this woman here?
But she was Zacharyâs girlfriend in name, so there was nothing wrong with her being here.
However, what was she going to do?
âWhy are you staring at me like this?â
Doris looked at Isabella and pouted unhappily. âYou never saw a beauty before, airport chest?â
...
A warrior could be killed but not humiliated.
âI have normal boobs! You are basically wearing nothing! Be careful.â
âHumph!â
Doris calmly and arrogantly rolled her eyes at Isabella. âDonât pretend to be muddle-headed. Is it amazing to hook up with Cedric? You have your merits and I have my charm. I will definitely score Mr. Joseph today! Move aside!â
Isabella stumbled and then took a step to the side, deciding to respectfully make way for Doris, who was hostile.
Isabella didnât dare to be in the way of this crazy woman seducing Joseph. Just thinking about that made Isabella excited.
Ten minutes later.
Isabella changed into the swimsuit and walked out.
Cedric leaned against the railing and was stunned when he saw Isabellaâs slender, white, and straight legs.
âIt fits very well.â
âThere are so many beauties on board today. I wonât embarrass you, right?â Isabella was shy under Cedricâs fiery gaze.
