"Stop talking, Stella!"

Joseph interrupted Stella in a stern voice, "I don't want to break up with you and Cedric, my good friends. It was over! Because of your current condition, I will give up pursuing the truth or details, but please stop before you go too far!"

"Since we are good friends..." Stella cried from Joseph's roar. "Then why didn't you let me attend your engagement ceremony? Even Cedric is allowed to attend it!"

Joseph flatly refused. "It's not just because of Isabella. You know, my grandfather, my sister, and even Uncle Michael will probably feel dissatisfied with your arrival. Stella, after the engagement ceremony, I will go to the treatment center with Isabella to visit you. But now I don't want to see you. You should go back. I'm hanging up the phone."

"Your mother has always said that I will be your bride in the future and that you must always be good to me... Do you still remember?"
