453 An Unexpected Guest

When Joseph heard Isabella’s voice getting lower and lower, he sighed and finally put down his chopsticks. He held Isabella’s hand and looked at her. “I don’t mean to blame you. I just think that you have become the leader of our family. I no longer have the power to make decisions. It seems that I will listen to whatever you say. I don’t have my own opinions.”

Isabella looked at Joseph’s serious expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you like a child? Your focus is completely different from mine!”

Joseph rubbed Isabella’s head. “Well, Isabella. Since you agreed, go ahead and greet them. However, I want to warn you, don’t bother with them later. You can’t be too enthusiastic!”

“I see, I see.”

Isabella said, “I’ll just care about you. Actually, I think Andrew and Andy look very similar. If it isn’t for their different outfits, I can’t recognize them.”

“It’s okay. When I was a child, I often beat them up. Only after the fight did I find that I only beat one of them.”

Isabella laughed her head off.

Then, she stood up and kissed Joseph. “Since you don’t want to see them, go back to your room. I’ll go to greet them. After I send them away, I’ll go out with you.”

Joseph immediately hugged Isabella’s head and responded to her kiss.

.....

Isabella and Joseph stopped kissing. After tidying up her clothes and hair, Isabella walked to the door. When she saw Andrew and Andy coincidentally entering the door, she smiled and wanted to go forward to greet them. When she looked up, she was shocked.

“Isabella!”

John stood behind Andrew and Andy. He smiled excitedly at Isabella...

Charlie looked around, without caring about Andrew and Andy, and asked, “May I ask who this is?”

“Are you Master Wilson? Nice to meet you!”

John nodded and bowed as he handed over the two baskets in his hands. “It is the Qixi Festival. My father asked me to give you a present for the Qixi Festival. I hope that many happy returns of the day! May you live a long and happy life!”

As he spoke, he came over and shook hands with Charlie. Charlie had a blank expression on his face as he said, “Your father is...”

Andy smiled evilly and said, “Grandpa, have you never seen him before? This is Isabella’s younger brother. Just now, we saw him arguing with the guards at the door anxiously. If we hadn’t stopped him, he would have been thrown on the road by the security guards.”

Charlie hurriedly turned to Isabella. “Isabella? Is this your younger brother?”

“Yes...”

Isabella responded, then looked at John with a pale face and asked, “Why did you suddenly come over? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”

“Since you are with Joseph, I can’t contact you.” John blinked with an aggrieved look and said, “So I could only come over myself, but the guards stopped me from entering.”

“I am sorry. The guards have not seen you before. They might have some misunderstanding of you. Come in, please.”

Charlie immediately said enthusiastically, “Come here, quickly...” Then, he asked with a smile, “What’s your name?”

“My name is John, John Smith.” John looked around in excitement.

“Quickly come and take the things in John’s hands. We don’t celebrate the Qixi Festival. I didn’t expect you to send gifts over. I’m really ashamed.”

Charlie called out guiltily, “William, quickly prepare a return present. When you send John back later, take the return present with you. It is such a breach of etiquette that we forget to prepare a present for Isabella’s family.”

“Yes!”

John nodded and bowed as he followed the crowd into the living room. He looked at the magnificent interior design with desire. He looked around, and from time to time, he would exclaim in admiration, “This is super valuable.”

Isabella frowned slightly and secretly pulled John from behind, whispering, “John, take your seat. Don’t look around and touch everywhere. There are guests today.”

John immediately changed his expression and said coldly, “What? Are you afraid that I’ll ruin it, the future mistress of Wilson Manor? I’m your younger brother. Don’t be so petty. Aren’t you afraid that your beautiful image in their hearts will be destroyed?”

Isabella pursed her lips and let go of John. Charlie did not suspect anything. Seeing Isabella and John fall behind, he immediately greeted them kindly. “John, come here. Let me take a closer look at you. You and Isabella really look alike. You’re still in school, aren’t you?”

“I’m here!”

John immediately ran over. Andy sat on the sofa with an apple in his mouth. He smiled meaningfully and said, “John is really an interesting person. When we were at the door just now, he made me laugh.”

Angelina asked with interest, “What do you mean?”

Andy glanced at Isabella and laughed. “Anyway, he is very interesting, just as interesting as Isabella.”

Isabella felt that there was a deeper meaning in Andy’s words. She was slightly worried. Andrew finally changed his shoes and took a step forward to follow Isabella. He asked in a gentle tone, “Isabella, does Joseph go to the company?”

Isabella immediately returned to her senses and smiled as she said, “Joseph just received an emergency call. He’s having a video conference in the study room. He hasn’t finished his meal yet. When he’s done, he should come down.”

Andrew gave a noncommittal smile. “You are so kind.”

Isabella was stunned.

Andrew cast his eyes down, looking a little disappointed. “Joseph doesn’t like us. I found out about it long ago...”

Isabella rubbed her hands awkwardly, not knowing what to say. She realized that John had already started a lively conversation. Thus, she took the opportunity and said, “Let’s go over and chat. You can have some fruit.”

Andrew nodded in silence.

“No one in school would dare to mess with me!” John proudly patted his chest and boasted, “I am a forthright person, have many friends, and have good relations with people! I am also popular with girls. I am simply a campus star!”

Charlie smiled and said, “You have a lot of friends and have good relations with people. That’s good. You are like Isabella. When I first saw Isabella, I felt very close to her.”

“Sure! Isabella is very popular in school!”

John did not say anything improper. However, Isabella understood his bad character well. She felt that John’s sudden visit made her very uneasy, so she gently pulled on John and advised, “Keep your voice down in front of elders. You can have some fruit.”

Charlie said, “It doesn’t matter. I quite like John. He’s just as pleasing as you are. My grandchildren are stuffy. Look at Joseph and Andrew.”

Everyone present smiled.

Andy immediately moved to Charlie’s side. “I’m not stuffy, am I, grandpa?”

Then, Andy said, “John, don’t listen to Isabella. Tell us more about her. We just came back from abroad and don’t understand her at all! I feel it is amazing that she can get into a relationship with Joseph!”
