412 A Chance to Choose Again
Stella looked at Cedric without a word.
Cedric was silent for a while and said, âYou ... Do you want me to tell Isabella about your pregnancy?â
Stella nodded seriously and said, âI wonât be able to see Joseph and Isabella. Jayden and Zachary donât dare to provoke Joseph or talk about this matter. Cedric, you are the only one who can help me. Moreover, there is a common benefit between us.â
Cedric frowned.
âI am not lying. I need a chance to tell the truth.â
Stella pulled at her chest and said painfully, âCedric, if I am really too selfish, I should secretly give birth to this child and tell Master Wilson to make Isabella completely collapse. But I donât want to do this. After all, Isabella is also innocent...â
Stella said carefully, âI want both Joseph and Isabella to know about this. I want them to help me make a decision ... Because I donât want to abandon this child by myself. I need a reason to make myself less sad.â
Cedric was puzzled and asked, âWhat ... does this mean?â
Stella wiped her tears and said calmly, â There is another very important problem. Although I try my best to avoid taking drugs, I have been injected with medications because of the psychological symptoms of the kidnapping during my pregnancy. This child ... might be deformed or a dead fetus. However, Joseph and I are the childâs parents. I have to let him know!â
.....
Stella pulled on the corner of Cedricâs clothes and began to cry. âCedric, if Joseph decides to abandon his child because of his love for Isabella, I will immediately abort this child. I am here not to ask you to tell them the truth but to let Joseph and Isabella give me a reason to give up! If Joseph is really cruel enough to abandon this child, I will pretend that I have never known him!â
Cedric was a little shaken. He clenched his fists and was touched.
âThey love each other now. You donât have a chance to take back Isabella, do you?â
Stella said with a trembling voice, âThis is an opportunity. Cedric, if you help me, you also help yourself. I donât dare to use you. For the sake of my child, I beg you to help me this time. You just help me tell the truth. In order to not regret it in the future, Joseph and Isabella should have a chance to choose again!â
...
In the city, Isabella was chatting with Joseph as they walked to the next restaurant filled with delicious food. Josephâs phone rang.
Joseph picked up the phone, and his expression suddenly changed. He sneered and whispered, âCome back early and go to the headquarters? He can do whatever he wants. I want to see what he would do!â
Seeing that Josephâs attitude had changed, Isabella asked curiously, âWhat happened in the company?â
Joseph hung up the phone and said in disdain, âNothing. Itâs just a call from Angelina. Uncle Michael is ready to come back from America in advance. The date of our engagement has not been set yet, and he is in a hurry to come back. It is clear that he wants to meet several people in the consortium in advance. He wants to play tricks on me and show his obedience to Charlie.â
âUncle Michael and his family have returned?â Isabella asked curiously, âAre we going to meet them?â
âNo,â Joseph said disdainfully, âShe will arrive tomorrow, but she has already made a plan.â
Just as Joseph finished speaking, his phone rang again. Joseph picked up the phone and Angelinaâs loud voice came directly from the other side, âCome back and check if there are any problems! I canât deal with Uncle Michael. Moreover, I donât know the situation of the consortium in recent years! Donât blame me if something happens!â
Joseph frowned and said, âI have told you that I would be accompanying Isabella for the next few days! Iâm on leave!â
âIsabella wonât leave you. Canât you delay? Be serious! This is what Dad and Mom have risked their lives to leave for you!â
Angelina hung up the call.
After Angelina hung up the call, Josephâs face turned green. Isabella said carefully, âYou can go back. Although I donât know much about work, Angelina becomes so panicking. She definitely canât handle it. You should go and deal with it yourself.â
Joseph looked at Isabella quietly. Isabella smiled and said, âWhy are you looking at me like that? I wonât run.â
âI donât want to be separated from you at all. I want to watch you every moment...â
Joseph kissed Isabellaâs forehead. He laughed and said, âForget it. You should go and eat whatever you want. Iâll call Gerry to follow you.â
Isabella smiled and said slyly, âAre you really willing to leave me alone?â
Joseph was stunned and said, âDonât you say...â
âWhy donât I accompany you to the company?â
Isabella said sweetly, âYou have said that we wonât be separated from each other in the future, you are a liar.â
Joseph paused for a moment. He immediately smiled and touched Isabellaâs face, âYouâre right, but itâs almost noon and youâre hungry. Iâll order my food. I guarantee that your food there wonât be any worse than outside.â
After a pause, Joseph said seriously, âHow about I rebuild that place in the future and expand the part of the restaurant? You can enjoy the service there at any time.â
Isabella laughed and said, âLetâs talk about it in the future. I donât want to eat in your office now. In the future, I will be your wife. Others will laugh at me if I am eating when you are all busy. Take me to the western restaurant downstairs. I will eat steak and cheesecake.â
Joseph thought about it and nodded in agreement. He said, âWell, you can come up after you finish eating.â
âThen itâs a deal!â
Joseph drove the car with Isabella. They quickly arrived at the Globe Building. Joseph gave his wallet to Isabella and told her to enjoy herself before going upstairs alone.
Isabella entered a western restaurant on the first floor.
In fact, she was not very hungry. She just felt that eating delicious food was a very happy thing. I was even happier to eat delicious food with Joseph. Therefore, she always eats food with Joseph.
However, she also realized that Joseph was in a dilemma when facing her and his company.
Ever since she became Josephâs girlfriend, she realized that although Joseph had a bad temper, he was very gentle. Although he finally decided to let her stay alone, his face was full of grievances and reluctance.
