391 Getting Married with This Old Man
Joseph immediately held Isabella into his arms with a smile and proudly said, âBecause I chose the dress.â
Zachary looked at the two of them, confused for a while, and asked directly, âHow did you two get reconciled? Isabella, arenât you with Cedric? He canât come tonight, so he asked you to dance with Joseph?â
The moment he said that, everyone present froze. Seeing that Josephâs expression had suddenly turned gloomy, Jayden immediately slapped Zachary in the head. âWhat are you thinking? Isabella is always Josephâs girl! Your girlfriend is still cleaning up the glass fragments, and you are actually here to chat. Why are you so slow? Go and help her!â
As he spoke, Jayden went away with Zachary and Jane.
Isabella thought about it and lowered her head. âJoseph, if it wasnât for me, you and Cedric...â
âCedric is here.â
Before Isabella could finish, Joseph said in a low voice, âIsabella, can you promise me that you wonât contact him tonight?â
Isabella looked up in shock and saw that Cedric was really here.
The black Bentley slowly stopped. More than a dozen bodyguards in black got out of the nanny van behind and drove the media away as fast as they could. Then Peter and Joey opened the doors of the Bentley car on both sides respectively.
.....
Cedric got out of the car.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was dressed in a black suit that was solemn and deep. Even his shirt was black. His entire person was like a ball of ink that could not be melted away. He looked mysterious and dangerous at the night.
Isabella looked at Cedric from afar and suddenly realized that she had never known him at all. Under his gentleness, he had always been hiding his sharpness. Just like now, he gave off an oppressive feeling...
As if sensing something, Cedric suddenly looked toward Isabella from afar.
Their eyes met, and Isabella was stunned. She quickly lowered her head and looked at Josephâs chest. âCedric doesnât seem to be here for a ball. I saw that our principal and other leaders all go to welcome him.â
âHe has sat in the viewing seats.â
Joseph lifted Isabellaâs head and let her look at him. âAlthough he seems to be only invited to watch the ceremony, I have known him since I was a child very well. He will never come to participate in such a boring thing when he has nothing to do. So, I think he came for you.â
Isabella paused for a moment, then immediately laughed. âHow is that possible? Could it be that he came to fight with you again? He said that we have nothing to do with each other anymore that day. He even asked me to get lost. Did you not hear it? It might just be a coincidence.â
Joseph snorted in disdain. âActually, I hope that he could come and fight with me. I donât like playing dirty.â
Isabella smiled and hugged Joseph. âNo matter what tricks he will play, I only like you. I may have hurt Cedric before, but I believe that he was just depressed for a moment. I still hope that you two can still be good friends. After all, youâve known each other for many years.â
Joseph was deep in thought. âDepressed for a moment?â
Then, he pondered. âI hope so. After all, you have only known each other for a few days. He knows a lot of women and should not like a foolish woman so deeply like you. After all, you are not a beauty.â
âJoseph, can you stop belittling me in this way?â
Isabella was just about to punch Joseph when she suddenly heard a cry. âIsabella!â
She was stunned. She then turned around and saw a colorful person rushing toward her. Before she could react, the unknown person had been intercepted by Joseph quickly.
âPlum man?â Isabella finally recognized this person.
âAnd who are you?â
Platt looked at Joseph who had intercepted him. He raised his neck and shouted at the tall Joseph, âSo what if youâre tall? Move your hand away. Isabella is mine.â
Isabellaâs heart sank, Joseph immediately asked, âWhat did you say? Say it again.â
Maybe Josephâs aura was too strong and his expression was too scary. Platt instantly gave in. âWhy should I say it again? Do I have to do whatever you say? I wonât listen to you!â
As he spoke, he looked at Isabella and said excitedly, âIsabella, donât you think Iâm handsome tonight? Shall we dance?â
Isabella looked at Platt, who was dressed in a fluorescent green suit like a firefly at night, and grinned awkwardly. âPlum man, I remember today is a graduation ball. You juniors donât have to attend, right?â
âYou have been changing your phone number recently, and I canât find you. I think I should come over to dance with you!â
Platt looked at Joseph, unconvinced. He clearly wanted to glare at Joseph like a roaring lion. However, he didnât expect that Joseph would be too horrible, which made Platt just like a little sheep. âI just donât want you to be taken away by some playboys!â
Joseph immediately hugged Isabella with a smile and said intimately, âBaby, who is this brilliant boy?â
Isabella instantly understood Josephâs purpose and said helplessly, âI have told you about Platt, the plum man.â
âOh ... so it is him.â
Joseph deliberately hugged Isabella and kissed her. He then looked at Platt provocatively and said to Isabella, âDonât forget it. The seat you are going to arrange for him at our wedding must be a bit closer to the front. After all, he is a good friend to you. You must treat him well and let him see the wedding more clearly.â
Platt instantly got shocked. âWedding?â
Then, he looked at Isabella in disbelief. âIsabella, youâve only known this man for a few days. Why are you getting married to him? Did something happen to you?â
Then, he patted his chest and said in a manly manner, âIf thereâs anything, you can tell me. Donât get married just after graduation. Thatâs not right! Also, my dad is very rich. If I ask him for help, thereâs nothing I canât do for you!â
Joseph laughed in a good mood.
âWell ... I didnât encounter anything special. If I had to say one thing, it would be love at first sight...â
Isabella got so embarrassed by Plattâs words. She then stood on tiptoe and introduced Joseph frankly, âPlum man, thank you for being so good to me. Today, I will formally introduce you to my boyfriend, Joseph. We will be getting engaged soon, and I love him very much.â
âAre you really going to get married to this old man?â Platt covered his mouth in shock, âIsabella, whatâs wrong with you?â
Josephâs face turned gloomy. âAm I old?â
Isabella frowned and said seriously, âAlthough he looks very old, he is just eight years older than me. Since he has enough money, his age is not a problem...â
