“What?”

Even David, who was always calm, was surprised. “Isabella, what are you saying? Even if Lukas doesn’t like you, you can’t be so crazy about getting married.”

“No, I mean it.”

Isabella put down her schoolbag and said earnestly, “I’ll introduce him to you guys when we get married after graduation. He is a little bossy, so you probably won’t like him at first. I’ll tell you something about him in advance so that you won’t hate him then.”

“He must be a freak.”

“Yes, so I don’t want my good friends to leave me because of his cold face.”

Jane patted Isabella on the shoulder and said, “Isabella, I have known you for so long. This is the most adventurous thing you’ve done. It’s so quick and you even haven’t dated each other, so I’m afraid you will have a lot of practical problems in the future. Do you know him well? Are you sure he is so good a man that you can marry him?”

Isabella nodded her head in a very good mood. “Although we haven’t known very well about each other, I think he is a very good man.”

He had a bad temper and was unpredictable, but he was protective of her.

.....

Jane and David surrounded Isabella and asked a lot of questions. Isabella patiently answered them. They cared so much about her future, so she felt very lucky and happy.

Did it mean that all the suffering in the past came to an end?

Maybe the bad luck before was the prelude to happiness in the future.

At noon, Isabella rejected Jane and David’s invitation and headed to the Sichuan restaurant that she often visited at the school gate.

She understood that Lukas felt sorry for her, but she did not want to get involved with him. However, it was related to her father, and Lukas’s tone was so mysterious, so she did not want to miss it.

The last time Lukas brought the only photo that Slike had left in the world, so what he would do this time?

The restaurant at the gate of the school was not big, but it was always very popular among the students of Richmond Arts University. When Isabella came to the small private room on the second floor, she saw Lukas, who had been waiting for a long time.

“Isabella, you are finally here.”

Lukas looked at the watch on his wrist in surprise. It was 12:20.

Isabella sat down and cut to the chase. “Lukas, what do you want to say about my father?”

“Let’s order first.”

Lukas passed the menu to Isabella and looked excited. “I remember that you like spicy fried ribs, poached fish, and osmanthus cake. I have ordered all of these. Take a look and order what else you like.”

He was so considerate, but Isabella did not take the menu. She looked at him indifferently. “Lukas, you know I am not here to eat with you.”

Lukas paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and took back the menu. “It’s just a meal. We haven’t come here for many years. I have so many memories in this place.”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Isabella rubbed her forehead and said straightforwardly, “Memories are useless. We shouldn’t live in the past.”

Lukas was stunned.

“You are about to get married, and I have fallen in love with another man.”

Isabella did not want to be involved with him anymore. It seemed he wanted to reconnect with her, so she said directly, “Lukas, I did like you before, but we have broken up, so we’d better not meet alone in the future. It is not good for both of us.”

“Another man?”

Lukas’s long eyelashes trembled. He smiled and said, “Isabella, you must be kidding. Who did you fall in love with in such a short time? Don’t tell me it’s Joseph.”

Isabella nodded seriously. “It is him. He is the man I love.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

Lukas smiled indifferently, “If you want to hang out with him, I won’t interfere with you, but you say you love him ... Isabella, stop making fun of me.”

“I’m not kidding or throwing a tantrum. I mean it. I have fallen in love with Joseph. If possible, I want to marry him as soon as possible.”

“I’ve told you that he is just a rich playboy! He has flirted with countless women, but you actually want to marry him. He won’t like you and neither will he want to marry you.”

He said excitedly, holding her shoulders. “Isabella, it’s all my fault. I was selfish, but please don’t torture me like this! I admit that my heart hurts!”

“Then marry me!”

Isabella roared, which stunned Lukas.

She shook off him with a mocking smile. “It seems you can’t do that. The Smiths’ connections are too important to you, so you can’t give up, right?”

Lukas’ eyes darkened and he held her hands. “Isabella, can you give me some time? Although I have enough funds now, it was not enough to purchase the Shaw Group. Rosy doesn’t know that I have 800 million. Once everything is settled, I will divorce her and marry you immediately!”

“How funny it is!”

Isabella looked at him with an indifferent look, which he had never seen. “Lukas, don’t ruin my last impression of you. This is the last time I talk to you calmly. If you can’t marry me, don’t stop me from pursuing happiness!”

She shook off his hands. “Lukas, if you don’t have anything about my father, then I’ll leave!”

Lukas sat on the chair in loneliness. When Isabella picked up her handbag, he finally said, “Rosy accidentally said that Slike was killed by Carl.”

...

After school in the afternoon, Isabella called William and said that she would have dinner at the Smith’s.

Before she could arrive, she received a call from Joseph.

“Why do you go back home?”

Although his voice was as cold as usual, Isabella could feel his concern for her, so she got a warm feeling in her heart.

“I haven’t gone back for dinner in a long time. Besides, I want to tell my mom about our marriage.”

“Okay.”

Joseph said indifferently, “If you haven’t arrived, you can come back. Since we have decided to get married, I will go with you to visit her a few days later.”

“No!”

Isabella said hurriedly, “I don’t want you to come until I graduate. I should talk about it with my mom in advance. Anyway, she’d better prepare herself.”

If he came, it would be a huge bomb for her family, so she had to plan it.

“Well.”

Joseph agreed and said directly, “I happen to have a dinner party in the city tonight. Send me a message after dinner. I’ll pick you up.”
