233 The Obligation as a Husband
“Don’t forget to eat your breakfast.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll eat on the way.”
Charlie tried his best to open his eyes and look at Isabella. His eyes flickered. “Good girl, I’m listening.”
Through the gap between the doors, Joseph watched Charlie enjoy himself with Isabella. After thinking for a while, Joseph did not enter but turned and left.
Although Isabella’s joke did not alleviate Charlie’s illness, she could tell that he enjoyed having her by his side. Thus, only when Doctor Morris came to give Charlie a drip did Isabella leave.
At the bus stop, she sat in the waiting area and took big bites of bread. A black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her. Joseph rolled down the window. “Get into the car. I’ll send you to school.”
Isabella opened the door and got into the car, with a wide smile. “Thank you, Mr. Joseph!”
“We will get married soon, so I will try to get used to this new lifestyle. That’s why I sent you to school. You don’t need to thank me. It’s an obligation as a husband,” Joseph said in a flat toneless voice.
“Husband...”
.....
Isabella looked at his handsome face and blushed. “Do you start from today?”
“Then when do you want me to start?”

Joseph lowered his eyes. “I’m sorry for what happened this morning...”
“Never mind!”
She pulled Joseph’s sleeve and said excitedly, “I know what you want to say, but it’s fine! I’m not angry at all. I was just upset about annoying you again. But I didn’t do it on purpose! I won’t touch your things anymore!”
Joseph looked at her bright smile and felt a little sorry for her. He reached out to stroke her cheek and wiped off the crumbs on her face. “No, Isabella, you can touch my things at will. As my wife, you have the right to share all of my things!”
Looking at Joseph, who was very gentle, Isabella was over the moon. She couldn’t help asking, “Then darling, what does the word on your ring mean?”
Joseph froze. Isabella thought it was too gross, so she shyly covered her face. “Since it’s the first day, I want to change the way I call you. If you don’t want to be called like that, what about ‘Honey’?”
“...”
Joseph held her hand. “I like both. You can call me whatever you like.”
“Then what does ‘sunny’ mean?”
“It’s just a name,” Joseph said calmly.
“I guessed right. It’s the designer’s name!” Isabella looked proud. She held up his left hand and carefully looked at the ruby on it. “I heard before that superior designers liked to leave a mark on their works! As expected, it’s so beautiful! I finally know a little about you!”
She was excited, but Joseph’s eyes darkened. He changed the topic. “Don’t eat breakfast on the road anymore. As my wife, you should behave yourself.”
Isabella explained at once, “No problem! I didn’t eat breakfast because I massaged Master Wilson’s belly!”
Joseph was noncommittal. “Grandpa has been sick for a long time. You don’t need to rub it. The maids and nurses will take care of him.”
“That is different...”
Isabella pouted, “The patient is more likely to want to be around. In the past, when my tummy ached, my mother would rub it, and then I felt much better. But after John was born, she didn’t care much about me. When I was lying in the hospital, despite the doctors, I felt very uncomfortable.”
She looked lonely as she said, so Joseph thought for a moment and pulled her into his arms. “Now that we are family, then from today on, no matter who is sick, the other one has to put down everything and accompany the sick one.”
Isabella looked up at his proud face. She suddenly felt that his arrogant and imperious look was a little cute. She was moved and said, “Do you mean what you say?”
“Of course.”
“Make the pinky promise.”
“We are all adults. It’s too childish.”
“But honey, I want it! You said you would be nice to me!”
Joseph had no choice but to stretch out his hand. Isabella immediately wrapped her forefinger around his. “In the future, Joseph and Isabella must help each other. When either of them is sick, the other one must stay by his or her side! It’s a deal!”
Joseph looked at her smiling face that was brimming with joy and pulled her into his embrace, kissing her on the lips. “It’s a deal, Isabella.”
When Isabella entered the school, her face was still flushed.
After the pinky promise, Joseph began to make out with her. Although she was ready to be his wife, she wasn’t mentally ready for the sex. When making out with him, she flushed and her heart beat faster.
“Isabella, I want you...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe still remembered how husky his voice was when he gently bit her ear. She had thought it was too erotic, but why did she feel it was so sexy now?
She wanted to tell her mother and Jane about this good news. She wanted to share her happiness with them!
Just as Isabella was thinking about it, a car horn interrupted her. She turned around and saw Lukas.
She stopped and said politely, “Good morning, Mr. Lukas.”
She looked distracted, so he asked, “Isabella, let’s have lunch together.”
Isabella smiled and lied, “Thank you for your invitation, but I have had an appointment.”
Lukas lowered his eyes. “It’s in the Sichuan cuisine restaurant that we always went to. I’ll tell you something about your biological father. I will wait for you until 12:30.”
“My father? Wait!”
Isabella was stunned, only to see that Lukas had stepped on the accelerator and quickly headed to the administrative building...
“Isabella, you look so happy, so you must have experienced something wonderful, right?”
As soon as Isabella entered the classroom, Jane rushed to her and hugged her. “Is that guy a sex expert?”
Isabella poked Jane on the shoulder. “Shame on you! I do have something to tell you. I’m so lucky.”
“What is it? Did you win the lottery?”
“It’s about the same...”
“Jane, I may well get married soon.” Isabella thought about her encounter with Joseph and felt as if she had won the lottery.
