332 Who Do You Save?

Joseph said patiently, “What are you afraid of? Your career is blocked? Bad influence? It’s okay ... I will do all these messy things for you. I will clear all the obstacles in your way. Don’t be afraid.”

Stella suddenly hugged Joseph’s waist and buried her face in Joseph’s embrace, crying loudly, “What I’m afraid of is that you will leave me and no longer pay attention to me. You will never pay attention to me!”

Joseph was stunned. He turned to smile gently and rubbed Stella’s head with his large palm. “Why would I ignore you? I said I would protect you forever.”

“But you have been completely influenced by Isabella!”

Stella burst into tears. “I have never seen you like this. For her, you were furious and lost your mind. Now, you are dejected. You are not like this. From beginning to end, you have never been a person who can bear it. But on her matter, you are drinking alone here. I don’t want you to become like this! You have been completely caught by her!”

Joseph saw how excited Stella was and suddenly smiled. “I was caught by her?”

Stella was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

“Maybe...”

Joseph lowered his eyes, deep in thought. He didn’t know if his thoughts had been paralyzed by alcohol, but he seemed to be completely incomprehensible. “When was I caught by her?”

.....

Stella looked at the intoxicated and happy look in Joseph’s eyes. She suddenly grabbed Joseph and kissed him.

The softness on his lips that was unique to women made Joseph startled. He hugged Stella and wanted to taste this kiss. His mind was in a trance. He suddenly realized that the other party was Stella. He immediately pulled her away and said in a serious voice, “Stella!”

“Why did you pull me away?”

Stella cried. “Don’t you like me? Wouldn’t you do anything for me? Why did you push me away?”

“Stella!”

Joseph frowned. “I already said that it is impossible for us! I can die for you because you are my best friend in this world!”

“Friend?”

Stella said in disbelief, “Back then, you were still a hot-blooded youth, yet you dared to go against the Kason Ward with me. You almost lost your life, and because you wanted to be with me, you gave up all your assets and gave up the inheritance of your family. You now told me that I was only your friend?”

“That was the past.”

Joseph seemed to wake up. “But you chose Kason Ward in the end, so we can only be friends. This is your choice! I said I will respect your choice! Always!”

“Back then, I was the one who was confused...”

Stella held Joseph’s arm tightly and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Sorry, in this world, you are the only one who treats me the best. Don’t leave me. I beg you.”

Joseph saw that Stella was crying in sadness and fear. He calmed down a little and pinched the bridge of his nose. Then he gently pacified Stella. “Believe me. No matter who I am with in the future, I will not leave you alone. I will protect you.”

Joseph’s voice was gentle and charming. “Don’t worry, we grew up together. When I was at my most difficult and most helpless time, it was you who accompanied me and comforted me. So, no matter when in the future, I will protect you. Whether you are my wife or my friend, I, Joseph, will guarantee that I will protect you with my greatest ability!”

Stella looked at Joseph with tears in her eyes. “Because of Kason Ward, you hate me...”

“I don’t hate you.”

Joseph shook his head and said emotionally, “At that time, you were with Kason Ward. I was indeed sad and painful, and I was also unwilling to accept the fact, but I never hated you. My feelings for you have already surpassed love. You are my family, one of the most important relatives.”

He then gently pushed Stella away. “Alright, let’s call it a day. My head hurts a little, and you are a little unstable. You should rest early. I will go to the deck to get some air.”

“Joseph!”

Seeing Joseph stand up, Stella hurriedly stood up as well. “Am I really important to you? Will you always protect me? Will you treat me as your most important relative?”

Joseph nodded without hesitation. Then, he smiled and said, “Don’t doubt it. You know that I am stubborn. I will do what I say.”

Then, he said dotingly, “Alright, go back and rest. I’ll be leaving now.”

“Then if I were to encounter danger with Isabella, who would you save first?”

Stella suddenly said.

Joseph was stunned.

“I am the most important relative to you, am I not? Then you can only save Isabella or me, who will you save?” Stella burst into tears.

“This problem is not valid.”

Joseph sighed. “Don’t be stubborn. Don’t let yourself think too much. Rest well.”

Joseph walked out of the cabin.

Stella looked at Joseph’s tall and broad back as he walked out of the cabin. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed forward recklessly.

The stars flickered, and the night scenery was charming.

In the dark blue sky, the stars were like diamonds, sprinkling thousands of silver ash, and the moonlight was bright and clear, like white jade.

Best

The party was over, and the yacht gradually quieted down.

Isabella and Cedric looked at the stars for a while, and the wind rose.

Cedric thought for a moment and sat up. “Although I really want to keep watching, the temperature is a bit low. Let’s go back.”

Isabella wrapped the blanket tightly and also sat up. “Didn’t you say you wanted to watch the sunrise? Are you going back now?”

Cedric smiled. “The wind is strong. If we stay here tonight, we will not be watching the sunrise tomorrow. Everyone will watch us then.”

“Why are they looking at us?”

“Because we would be completely frozen into two popsicles.”

Cedric stood up. “Alright, although romance is good, you can’t get yourself sick. I’ll call you tomorrow to watch the sunrise. You should rest early today.”

Isabella nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Then she lowered her head and picked up her high heels.

“I’ll help you wear it,” Cedric suddenly said.

Isabella had already put her toes into her shoes and paused when she heard this.

Cedric grabbed the shoes and lifted Isabella’s feet, carefully putting them into the shoes.

Isabella’s face instantly turned red. “You really are a romantic person.”

Cedric could not help but laugh. “Remember that night when you left the high heels in my car? I wiped the high heels clean and put them in the box. I thought that I would meet you one day and return them to you. At that time, I didn’t know you were Isabella...”

Cedric’s eyes flickered, and he felt a sense of happiness. “I simply felt that we were fated, so when I saw you wearing shoes today, I wanted to help you.”
