269 His Confession

Joseph smiled sinisterly and started to stripe Isabella’s underpants.

“Aren’t you lying to me again?”

Isabella suddenly got mad and pushed Joseph away. “I won’t let you touch me unless you tell me everything about you and Stella.”

“Hey! Isabella!”

“This is my bottom line. You had to!”

Isabella threw the shower head she fetched onto Joseph and walked out of the bathroom.

Joseph’s legs were limp, in addition to the slippery ground, it was impossible for him to chase after Isabella. He had to slip in the bathtub reluctantly.

He thought to himself that it was fortunate to have Isabella back.

Joseph slowly suppressed his sex desire in his body. He leaned against the bathtub and could not help but smile.

.....

In fact, he had a long flight last night. He indeed felt a little exhausted today. Besides, he drank a lot of wine tonight and didn’t feel quite well. To be honest, he did not intend to have sex with Isabella.

Initially, he was angry about Isabella’s unreasonable jealousy. He planned to ignore her for a few days as a punishment.

But Cedric reminded him that Isabella might run away with someone else if he did so. He began to get worried. After all, Isabella was a pretty woman and he didn’t want to lose her.

Therefore, he immediately wanted to capture her back to keep watch. That was what he thought.

But when he saw her, he acted differently.

Just like how Isabella had scolded him when she was angry, he had become a childish and shameless pervert.

However, they were only together for less than a month. During half of the time, they fought like cats and dogs. He didn’t know since when he had changed. He just couldn’t help but have physical contact with her.

When he had this thought, he became anxious and excited.

He hadn’t slept with her yet, but he wanted her so badly. When she belonged to him, she won’t run away.

However, Isabella yielded to soft approaches but rejecting force. If he dared to force her to sleep with him, he could not guarantee that Isabella would kick him in the groin. He couldn’t afford to lose his fertility.

Anyway, everything she did was out of expectation.

He still wanted to have kids with her.

It was a pity that they were almost there last time. Unfortunately, the things about Stella put a halt to it at the critical moment.

This time, it was also because of Stella that she got jealous and angry unreasonably, ignoring him.

He didn’t feel shamed about his past with Stella but he didn’t want to tell his future wife how many silly things he had done for Stella when he was young...

However, Isabella was obviously trying to get to the bottom of this. It was an obstacle between them. If he didn’t solve it...

At the thought of this, Joseph stood up to wipe his body, and returned to his bedroom at once.

Isabella had already changed into clean clothes, lying on the bed with her back against him. She seemed to fall asleep.

She did not run back to her own bedroom, which meant that she still cared about him and did not really want to leave him.

Joseph held onto the door frame and limped towards the bed.

The lights were turned off and the room was plunged into darkness.

Joseph lifted the quilt and carefully tried to turn Isabella around to face him, so they could cuddle together. However, he failed. When he tried the second time, Isabella shook him off.

It turned out that she didn’t sleep at all because of anger.

Joseph couldn’t help but laugh. It was fun to see her become so jealous. She was both fierce and cute. It also proved that she cared about him a lot.

He thought that Isabella was very possessive of her man.

“Turn around. I’ll explain it to you.”

Joseph stopped to turn her shoulders around this time. He lay down directly and placed his hand under Isabella’s waist. He carried her and turned her around. Isabella stopped struggle this time and turned to face him obediently.

Joseph saw traces of tears on her face under the moonlight.

She was actually crying secretly.

“Idiot, why are you crying?”

Joseph tenderly wiped away her tears and smiled. “Don’t cry. I will tell you everything about me and Stella. I don’t expect that you are so jealous.”

“It’s not a matter of jealousy.”

“You were in love before, but apparently you still have feeling for her. You even can risk your life for her. Even if we can have a baby together to fulfill your grandfather’s wish, but you could abandon me at any time you want in the future. I don’t want to live a life like that. Joseph, why don’t you find another woman to get married?”

“So you’re afraid that I will abandon you one day?”

Although Isabella was crying very sadly, Joseph couldn’t help but laugh. What was she thinking? Marriage was a serious business. How could he make such a willful decision? No one could threaten him to get married unless he wanted to.

“The Bell family is also a very prestigious family in Peace City. My Grandpa’s sister is Stella’s Grandfather’s first wife.”

Isabella was stunned. “Oh, my goodness! No wonder your grandpa disapproves Stella. It’s incest! You and Stella are cousins. Legally, you are not allowed to get married. And your kids will suffer malformation!”

Joseph was amused by Isabella’s excessive reaction and could not help but wipe away her tears. “What are you thinking? I told you that my grandma was the first wife. Stella’s grandma is the second wife of Master Bell. She is also a home-wrecker.”

“...”

“So...?” Isabella felt a bit uncomfortable.

“Master Bell cheated on my grandma. My grandma found it out and committed suicide. Since then, our two families have become enemies. That’s it!”

Isabella straightened out their relationship and concluded, “It turned out that you and Stella are Romeo and Juliet.”

Joseph poked Isabella’s nose. “It’s not complicated, but in a word, given the two family’s history, my grandpa will never allow me to marry Stella. It’s impossible for us to stay together in our lifetime.”

“Oh...”

“What do you say about giving up inheritance?” Isabella asked.

“Tell me who told you this?” Joseph snorted, “Who dares to drive a wedge between us? I’ll go kill him.”

” ... No one told me. It’s just gossip. There are rumors flying around.”

“Damn it!”

Joseph knew that Isabella would not say the person’s name. So he said disdainfully, “Stella and I are childhood sweethearts. We have equal family backgrounds. We are pretty much the same old. I thought we were a perfect match, but my grandpa disapproved Stella. In order to save our love, I did a lot of stupid things including crying, throwing a tantrum, going on a hunger strike, stopping working, flirting with women, even giving up the inheritance, etc. In a word, I used every means to try to convince my grandfather.”

“Did they work?”

“Impossible! He gave me a good beating and asked me to leave and give up my surname.”
