Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife

174 Dream Is Broken

Ten minutes later, Isabella took a piece of cake and carefully ate it on an inconspicuous sofa at the corner.

“The man who you have loved secretly for many years is getting engaged today, and it will not affect your voracious appetite.”

Suddenly, someone sat next to Isabella and sneered, “Isabella, when your husband abandons you, will you still eat things up like this?”

When Isabella saw that it was Joseph, she immediately looked around nervously, “Didn’t you promise to pretend not to know me?”

“No, I don’t know you.”

“Carl thought that I was interested in you and he strongly recommended me to take advantage of you,” Joseph sneered.

Isabella looked around the crowd and saw Carl warning her with a vicious gaze from afar, while Lukas and Rosy were holding hands.

Lukas’s eyes were filled with sorrow as he stared deeply at her while Rosy was with a mocking expression.

Isabella lowered his head dejectedly. “Anyway, thank you for helping me out.”

.....

“How would you express your gratitude?”

Isabella was speechless. She had almost forgotten about what kind of person Joseph was. People would usually say you’re welcome or something like this. Why did things become different to him?

“I’ll massage your back when we return?”

“No need. How did I teach you that night? Just follow that and do it around thirty times.”

Isabella was speechless again.

“You want to break your promise?”

When Isabella heard Joseph’s harsh tone, she blushed at once. “I’ll give it a try, okay?”

“Don’t be nervous.”

Joseph looked at Isabella’s shy expression and immediately smiled evilly, “Learn slowly. I still have plenty of time.”

“Why were you so gentlemanly just now? Why are you so ungrateful now?”

“In front of those bored people, it’s necessary to pretend to be cold.”

“Then do you think I’m interesting?”

“Compared with others, you are.”

Joseph shook his legs and looked at Lukas who was shuttling through the crowd. “Hey, Isabella, what do you think is good about that gigolo?”

Isabella finally came to her senses. Joseph already knew about the relationship between her and Lukas. She immediately asked warily, “What do you mean?”

“How much is he worth to you?”

Isabella frowned and shook his head. “Don’t humiliate me. I won’t use the money to measure Lukas. I like him not because of money.”

“So to you, he is priceless?” Joseph’s eyes darkened, “Then how much do you think you are worth to him?”

“Joseph, you are going too far!”

Isabella put down the cake in excitement. “Do you think that everyone in this world is like you, using money to measure others?”

Joseph sneered. “As it says in the file, you are deeply in love with Lukas. Why are you still unwilling to give up when he is engaged? Are you nuts?”

Isabella stood up angrily. “Even if he doesn’t love me, he is still my brother who loves me the most! Joseph, you are not allowed to use my privacy to attack me!”

“The brother who loves you the most.”

Joseph didn’t get angry. He took a sip of wine and smiled frivolously. “Just like how I helped you out just now? Could he allow you to sit beside me and let me take advantage of you if he really cares about you? Don’t you think too highly of him?”

“You feel uncomfortable without ridiculing people for a day! Joseph, you are unreasonable!”

Isabella angrily threw down the cake and got up to leave.

Gerry looked at Isabella’s back and stepped forward. “Mr. Joseph, do you need Miss Isabella to...”

“There is no need.”

Joseph smiled mockingly. “Just prepare the contract. We should sympathize with the person who is about to lose his love. Even if it is just a dog, it is also a sad thing to lose it, isn’t it?”

...

Isabella stood in the corner of the banquet and looked sadly at the crowded scene in the distance.

Lukas stood in the middle of the crowd, knelt on one knee, put a silver ring on Rosy’s middle finger, and then kissed the back of her hand.

Applause and cheers rang out around her. Rosy covered her mouth excitedly and leaned over to kiss Lukas.

Isabella hurriedly closed her eyes.

She hated it.

She hated Lukas for retreating and hated that he did not love her.

However, the feeling of sadness was clearer than hatred.

It was far more difficult to completely end a relationship of more than ten years than one could imagine.

She still remembered that the first time she saw Lukas, it was after Carl hit her for the first time.

She was small and was not as tall as a holly. She stood by the fence of the courtyard and looked outside with grievance. She wanted to escape, but she did not know where to go.

Lukas wore a dark blue primary school uniform and carried a black school bag as he walked past her.

After a pause, he retreated and stopped in front of her.

He gave her a watermelon-flavored candy, thought for a moment, and gave her the Ultraman model hanging on his schoolbag.

He was really like the prince in fairy tales, handsome, gentle, and brilliant.

It was only later that she found out that he was Rosy’s classmate, the son of the family that the Smiths were in a good relationship, and his name was Lukas.

In her bitter and helpless life, Isabella began to have an extreme dependence and longing for the gentle Lukas.

She often stood in the fence of the courtyard, and every time he passed by, he would take the opportunity to greet her. His school uniform was always so clean, tidy, and meticulous.

Then he would return her a big smile every time, and always stuffed her candy and biscuits.

In her sad childhood, he was simply like the most brilliant ray of sunshine.

Later, when she went to school, Lukas took the responsibility for her brother.

He took care of her and felt sorry for her. The deepest impression was when in middle school, she was bullied by the hooligans, and Lukas had a fierce fight with them. His forearm fractured for a few months.

He was like a hero to her.

Isabella had always felt that Lukas was different from her. That feeling filled her with hope for happiness, so she resolutely applied for the same university as him, although Richmond Arts University was not outstanding in dancing.

And then...

Isabella looked at the gentle profile of Lukas in the distance and turned to enter the corridor before tears fell.

Even if she knew the result, she was not willing to see it with her own eyes.

She thought that she could calmly attend the engagement party, but she did not expect that even if she had just been teased by him, she would still collapse when she watched him put the ring on another woman’s hand.

Isabella leaned against the window and sobbed.

Her dream was broken. Her happiness was gone with all hope.

“Isabella.”

After an unknown period, Lukas’s slightly hoarse and trembling voice sounded behind her.
