Chapter 407

407 Every Dog Has Its Day

Isabella sat in the car and watched from the rearview mirror as Smith’s villa was drifting away. She heaved a sigh of relief.

“I will find someone to take your mother to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. After that, I will take her to the villa in Purple Light. As for your father, I’ve already handed over the photos you brought from Cedric to the lawyer. However, even if you want to sue him, you have to wait until we get married. It takes time. Don’t worry.”

Joseph checked the schedule and said calmly, “I’ll arrange someone reliable to handle that. You can count on that. What we need to do is prepare for the engagement ceremony. It will take a lot of time to choose dresses and jewelry for the ceremony next week.”

Isabella came back to her senses and looked quite surprised “Engagement ceremony? Next week?”

“We haven’t settled the date. Because we can’t be sure how many days it will take for the decorations. We ordered it so urgently.”

Joseph smiled and pinched Isabella’s cheek. “Grandpa points out that since our engagement and wedding date are relatively close, we can just find an auspicious date to gather around with close friends and family members. Keep it simple. All the attention should be focused on the wedding. What do you think?”

Isabella leaned sweetly on Joseph’s arm. She smiled and said, “I have no objections regarding the wedding. I will listen to you. Waiting for the day to be your bride.”

As soon as Isabella said that, her phone rang. She picked it up. “Hello?”

“Excuse me, is this Ms. Isabella Smith?”

.....

Isabella nodded. “Yes, I am. May I know who’s speaking?”

Joseph tilted his head and looked at Isabella.

“I’m from Wonderful Taste, a company selling green tea. I saw your photos online. I think you’re very suitable to be our commercial model. I wonder if you’ll consider cooperation between us?”

Isabella was stunned. “You saw my photos on the Internet?”

“Yes, the film “Meet You, Love You” was released in advance. Now it ranks in the top 10 of the hottest topics. If possible, can we meet tomorrow? We can discuss the details of our cooperation.”

Isabella was confused. But soon she figured it out and asked excitedly, “Where will we meet? When is it?”

After they discussed when and where they should meet, Isabella hung up the phone happily. However, the moment she saw Joseph beside her, she was stunned.

Joseph looked at her and said, “Who are you going to meet tomorrow? We’re going to choose dresses and jewelry.”

“Sorry. I forgot to discuss it with you.”

Isabella scratched her head in embarrassment. “Just now, a man from a green tea beverage company said that he saw my series of photos and invited me to be the model...”

With a bright smile, Isabella stretched out a finger and said sweetly, “Darling, can I take an hour to see him tomorrow? I promise I won’t delay our schedule.”

“Shoot a commercial?”

Joseph frowned and found that Isabella was already checking the hashtags happily on his laptop. He went over and took a look. Isabella’s stage photos ranked top of the trending topics on Weibo.

The title was “The Purest Girl in the Malevolent Drama!”

“Netizen A: Although I’ve never seen this actress before, she surprised me. She looked so hot.”

“Netizen B: I had no feelings about this TV show. But look at this girl! I felt that the purest first love is possible for everyone.”

“Netizen C: So unfortunate that Lukas and Miles were the leading roles.”

“Netizen D: Why doesn’t the male lead love such a lovely girl but Miles? Is he blind? Miles is average-looking.”

Isabella was dumbfounded by the comments. “Why would this film be released early without noticing? Why would I, such a small character, appear on the hot search?”

Joseph tilted his head and peeked at Isabella’s picture. He analyzed, “Because of the video about Lukas and Miles, the drama will not draw many live-streaming views. It’s useless to wait for a good schedule time. They’d better take advantage of the heated discussion and release now. By contrast to Lukas and Miles, you became a pop star.”

Isabella cheered up and said, “That’s so great. Every dog has its day! I can earn a lot of money! I am so lucky!”

Joseph gazed at her affectionately.

Isabella felt his sight and said obediently. “Honey, I know you’re rich and don’t need me to earn that much. But I need my career. I don’t want to be a full-time housewife. I like being free and independent.”

Joseph kept looking at Isabella expressionlessly. “Go on. Do you have a better reason?”

“What if one day you abandon me...”

“I won’t starve. I can still be able to support my mom, right?” Isabella pointed at her fingers and grinned cheekily.

Joseph poked her head. “None of your reasons make sense. Just stay by my side obediently before you get married. Tell me how much private money you want. I promise I’ll give you more than what you can earn from advertising!”

Seeing him being like that, Isabella lowered her head and said, “OK.”

At night, they returned to Wilson Manor. Isabella was reading the news on her bed. She held her phone and hesitated. After Joseph took a shower, he dried his hair and came out of the bathroom. Then he said, “I think the Starry Night designed by Charles is pretty good. Why don’t we ask him to design your engagement dress? I prefer a nude pink dress. What do you think?”

After Joseph said that, he found that Isabella did not respond. Then he looked at her.

Isabella suddenly came back to her senses. She smiled sweetly and said, “Honey, what did you say just now?”

Joseph narrowed his eyes and walked to her. “I said kiss me.”

Isabella put the laptop under the pillow and hugged his neck. She was ready for the kiss.

Joseph leaned over and pulled out the laptop from her pillow. He opened it.

As expected, Isabella was reading her news.

Isabella flushed instantly. “I’m just curious. It’s the first time I’m on the hottest topic. I’m quite excited.”

Joseph sized up her. “Did you call and refuse the advertisement invitation?”

Isabella was stunned and stammered, “It’s so late tonight. I’ll call him tomorrow.”

Seeing her being so reluctant, Joseph sighed slightly and asked, “Do you really want to take that advertisement?”

Gazing at him, Isabella thought for a moment. Then she lowered her head and said, “Well. I can say no. I don’t want to upset you. Jane told me that rich men don’t like their wife being exposed to the public.”
