You Are Despicable, and I Am Shameless

But today, when Joseph hugged her from behind and apologized to her sincerely, she realized that her heart had long been taken away by this overbearing man.

She hit him and scolded him. She wished she could grab his hair and hit him hard in the head to vent the anger and grievances in her heart, but she would never do this to Cedric.

"I'm fine."

Isabella wiped her tears and said calmly, "Lukas, why are you looking for me?"
