198 Tame the Girl
Zachary laughed out.
“Joseph had been waiting for a girl last night, yet she stood Joseph up!”
Joseph darted a threatening glance at Zachary, who immediately gave in. “Alright, alright. I will shut up.” Yet he only burst into another roar of laughter, “But think about it, Joseph was stood up! The girl must be very charming...”
Cedric couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s going on, Joseph? Did you fall in one-sided love?”
“One-side love? No. She was late but still came. I have already taught her a lesson.”
Joseph raised his lips and clinked his glass with Cedric’s. “I’ll introduce her to you in the future. I haven’t tamed her yet. She would let me lose my face for the time being.”
Zachary said meaningfully, “Joseph, how do you tame women? Can you teach me? You are not as attractive as me, but you are more popular than me. It is unfair!”
“No, a tamed woman is less charming.”
Cedric smiled mockingly. “What’s genuine is cute. Do you want every woman to be obedient and sensible? If so, I’m sure there is no shortage of servile women, isn’t there?”
.....
Joseph pondered over it and found that what Isabella special is her crafty temper. He said, “Cedric, you’re right. Those who have a character are more interesting.”
Cedric saw Joseph’s expression and said, “It’s rare to see that expression on your face... You seem to be serious about her. How about it, Joseph? Do you want to treat us to a wedding?”
Joseph wanted to say, “It may come true a little faster than you think.” However, he suddenly remembered Isabella’s rejection this morning. His face darkened and he gulped up the wine in the cup. “Just a wild fox. Not a big deal. I’ll only marry an obedient and sensible woman.”

“You have six foreign girlfriends in a row. Are you preparing to have a blue-eyed son in the future?”
Cedric smiled and shook his head. “I will only marry an Eastern woman.”
“Then you...”
“For most western girls, as long as I give them romance and freedom, they can make me happy.
“It’s very fair. When the relationship ends, there won’t be any burden on both sides. That’s why I like it. But in a marriage, I still hope that my wife would be a traditional woman who values family more,” Cedric said seriously.
Then he teased, “After all, I am the only Stretton in my generation. I want some children. If my wife is freedom-obsessed and runs around the world, it will be too tiresome.”
Jayden laughed.
“To Cedric, a girlfriend is a girlfriend and a wife is a wife. From this perspective, you are irresponsible.”
Cedric also laughed. “That’s why I like Western women, right? Look at Zachary. He’s always being chased by women who are either crying or throwing a tantrum. I can’t bear that.”
“What if you rarely met eastern women abroad?” Zachary teased.
“That’s why my family might ask me to come back.”
Cedric shook his head and said helplessly, “They are very disappointed that I didn’t manage to get a couple of children and want to force me to go on a blind date.”
The room was filled with laughter.
But they were very welcoming to Cedric’s future return. It meant that they could finally gather together!
“Mr. Joseph.”
Gerry went forward and whispered into Joseph’s ear, “William just called and said that Miss Isabella is staying at school tonight.”
Joseph immediately frowned. “I forbid! Call her and tell her to get back!”
“Yes!”
After a while, Gerry came back to report, “Miss Isabella said that she has something important tonight. She hopes you can understand.”
“No way!”
Joseph put down the glass, “She is protesting against me, isn’t she? The damn fox! Tell her that I will give her an hour and a half. If she fails to get back by that time, I will go to her school to catch her back!”
“Yes!”
Joseph had just raised his glass when Gerry came in for the third time. “Mr. Joseph, Miss Isabella wants to talk to you personally...”
Joseph paused, picked up the phone, and walked into the bathroom.
“Hello.”
“Joseph, I am really busy tonight! I really can’t go back!” Isabella’s anxious voice came from the other side.
Joseph sneered, “You can give it a try.”
“Wait! Can you give me more time?” Isabella panted, “I’ll be back around 12 o’clock.”
Joseph narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing that you can’t go back till midnight?”

“Answer me! Where are you now?” Joseph frowned, “What are you doing?”
“I just finished dancing! School activities...”
“Isabella, if you dare lie to me again, you should bear the consequence!”
Joseph flared up, “I have checked in your school and found they had never organized students to any dancing performance! Where are you?”
“Isabella! Isabella! It’s about to start! You haven’t changed into your miniskirt yet!”
“Coming!” Isabella answered and turned back to Joseph, “I will go back as soon as possible. The performance is about to start. Bye!”
“What miniskirt, Isabella...”
The phone was hung up by Isabella.
Joseph was so angry that he smashed the phone to the ground and crushed it. “Isabella, you damned fox! Next time, I’ll skin you alive!”
Joseph walked out of the bathroom and sat down. Cedric glanced at him. “What’s wrong? Are you angry?”
“It’s fine.”
Joseph took a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. “Just an incompetent employee.”
“Oh my, Joseph is really a workaholic. We are here to enjoy ourselves. Can you just fire the employee?”
“That’s right. Joseph, the head manager recommended tonight’s dancing to us! The performer is a choreography student. She is the most popular dancer here! Don’t be angry, come, come with us!”
Joseph nodded, not wanting to be a spoilsport.
The colorful lights flashed on the stage. A girl with a mask was wearing a sexy feather dress and walked out like a proud peacock. She swung her waist and raised her legs. The audience was excited.
