247 The World is Small
“Yes.”
“I was also surprised, so I specifically exhort Joseph to be careful,” Isabella said honestly as she ate.
“You are so sweet.”
Angelina smiled mischievously and gently pinched Isabella’s face, “You didn’t sleep well because you were worried about Joseph?”
Isabella blushed, “I’m very worried about him. It’s legal to hold guns in America, so I’m afraid what may happen if Joseph is reckless.”
“Don’t worry, he will act with propriety.”
Angelina teased Isabella, then she went upstairs to change her clothes. After eating breakfast, Isabella said goodbye to Charlie and left the Wilson Manor.
When Angelina saw that Isabella had left, she looked at Charlie seriously, “Grandfather, the woman who Isabella was talking about could it be Stella?”
Charlie sat on the sofa with a cane in his hand. He was a little angry, “Whether she is or not, I will not allow Joseph to have any dealings with Stella!”
.....
Angelina thought about it for a moment, “I will ask people to extract some information and send away the old servants. As long as Joseph doesn’t be reckless, I will not let Isabella know about the relationship between Joseph and Stella!”
Charlie nodded and sighed, “Isabella is very innocent. I hope that Joseph will cherish her and don’t do anything stupid.”
“I will watch him.”
...
At the weekend, Isabella contacted a senior from the design department with who she used to get along well. She arrived at the design department after about two trips.
She was informed to enter the department after the appointment. Isabella was amazed at the wonderful design here and pushed the door of the director’s office.
“Isabella!”
“Octavio!”
Octavio was a doctorate student in the design department of Richmond Arts University and was much older than Isabella.
As a doctorate student, Octavio had already begun to tutor students or do research and rarely participated in the activities for undergraduates. Octavio was fond of modern drama and once participated in the drama club. He was forthright and cheerful, and often treated club members to dinner, so he got familiar with Isabella quickly.
“Why did you suddenly visit me? Do you worship me and miss me so much?”
Octavio looked gentle, but he had a glib tongue. Isabella was used to his way of speaking and smiled, “If I admit that I carry a torch for you, will your wife be angry and scold you?”
“Your words make me feel sad. I’m not married yet.” Octavio said.
“Really?”
“If you give me a wedding gift in advance, I will immediately get married.”
Isabella and Octavio laughed.
Isabella sat on the sofa and said seriously, “I’m here today for something to talk to you.”
Just then a young man walked out of the toilet. He wiped his clothes, “Octavio, the coffee stains can’t be cleaned...”
The man made eye contact with Isabella when he raised his head.
Isabella was stunned. She immediately stood up and said awkwardly, “Octavio, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you had a guest. I’ll wait for you downstairs!”
“Wait!”
“Wait! Isabella!”
Octavio and the man said at the same time. Octavio looked at him and thought about why he said this. While the man smiled at Isabella, “Miss, do you still remember me?”
Isabella was stunned when a stranger talked to her.
The man with a gentle temperament was handsome and tall. He wore a light brown blazer, which made him look very elegant.
Isabella stared at him and thought for a while. She frowned, “You do look familiar, but...”
“It’s normal for you to forget me.”
The man couldn’t help smiling, “You’ve been hit by me twice. At that time, you were dizzy, so you couldn’t remember me.”
Isabella was stunned and suddenly remembered, “You are the one I borrowed your car to change clothes that night!”
The man smiled.
He stretched out his hand, “My name is Cedric, Cedric Stretton.”
“Cedric...”
Isabella felt that his name was particularly familiar, but she could not remember where she had heard it before. She gave him a polite handshake, “My name is Isabella, Isabella.”
“Isabella...” Cedric stared at Isabella with a little surprise, “Are you Isabella?”
Isabella nodded, “What’s wrong?”
“You knew each other before!”
Octavio said happily, “Cedric managed to return to China, and Isabella hasn’t come to visit me for a long time. But you two met before. The world is really small.”
Cedric looked at Isabella thoughtfully and chuckled, “I think it should be fate.”
When Isabella saw Cedric looking at her, she remembered what she had done that night. It made her feel ashamed.
‘I thought it would never be known, but I didn’t expect that I will meet Cedric, and now he knows me. The worst thing is that he is Octavio’s friend. If he tells Octavio what happened between me and him, Octavio will tell others.’
‘What should I do?’
Isabella blushed and was going to admit that she did this.
She thought for a moment and said gently, “It was an accident. I hope Mr. Cedric can forgive me.”
Cedric saw through Isabella’s thought, and looked at her, “It indeed surprised me...”
Isabella immediately interrupted Cedric, stopping him from speaking out, “Since Mr. Cedric and Octavio have something to discuss, so I will leave for now.”
She nodded politely at them and intended to leave.
“Don’t go.”
Octavio grabbed Isabella and said sincerely, “There’s nothing important. He just accidentally spilled coffee on his clothes and went to clean them. Otherwise, he would have left. Let’s continue to talk about what you just said.”
Isabella was speechless.
She felt that sometimes Octavio was so enthusiastic that it would bother her. She did not want Cedric to hear what she was going to say, so she hesitated.
“We will become more and more familiar with each other.”
Cedric poured a glass of water to Isabella. He had already completely understood Isabella’s thoughts. He said, “Since we meet again and are all Octavio’s friends, we two are friends, right?
