Chapter 1840

Isabelle was the culprit that made Joshua suffer through the punishment. Where was she at that time?! Isabelle quickly hid in the Junior Class, and she refused to show herself. Joshua had not seen her since then, right until she came to him obediently and told him that she had bought him a gift. Joshua rolled his eyes and ignored her. Isabelle quickly ran back to her room since Joshua did not reprimand her. The shopping bags were cluttered all over the sofa and the floor. It was the result of Isabelle being a spendthrift at the jewelry store earlier. Of course, it was Cedar who paid for her. She sat on the floor and opened each of the bags. Then, she chose the nicest-looking male ring and put it aside. She wanted to give it to Joshua later. Once she chose the ring, she went into her bathroom to take a shower. She changed into a comfortable white short-sleeved t-shirt and shorts since she was at home. She wore the ring on her necklace since she was born. She would never remove her necklace even if she had other necklaces that she liked. At most, she would wear another necklace in addition to the one she already wore. Isabelle wore her indoor slippers and went downstairs. When she reached the staircase, she saw another person sitting beside Joshua. That person looked familiar from behind. She recalled her mother saying that she contacted him to come over too. Isabelle was in no hurry to go downstairs. Instead, she stood at the staircase and quietly observed the man. He was just too handsome and charming to her. Isabelle frequently used the same description for Cedar in her mind. The longer she stared at him, her heart gradually began thumping faster. Joshua turned around and unintentionally saw Isabelle by the staircase. He noticed how she looked entranced as she stared in their direction. Joshua asked, “Lil Lion, what are you looking at?” When Cedar heard Joshua’s question, he quietly clenched his fist and forced himself to stay calm. “I’m staring at Uncle Joshua and Big Brother’s handsomeness!” Joshua snorted. “There’s no use in pleasing me.” “Oh. Uncle Joshua, why are you still holding a grudge?” Joshua rolled his eyes at her again and reminded her, “I had to run around your villa for twenty laps. Never mind about that. How dare you hide in the Junior Class when I was exhausted to death?! It’s been a long time, and you didn’t bother to contact me to apologize. Now, you’re praising my handsomeness, and you’re hoping I’ll forgive you with just that? You’re enjoying my good looks. I’m still the one at a disadvantage!” Heh. He said it as if she wanted to look at him. She was obviously staring at Cedar! Although those were her real thoughts, she did not dare to say them out loud. Either way, she was the one at fault. She walked to Joshua and sat beside him. She acted cutely and tried to please him. “Uncle Joshua, please forgive Bella?” Joshua immediately replied, “No can do.” Isabelle quickly took out the ring and said, “Look at this! I chose this especially for you from the jewelry store! It’s a diamond ring that looks good and grand. It particularly suits your aura. Uncle Joshua, please don’t be angry anymore!” Isabelle pouted after she spoke. She then secretly glanced at Cedar while staring at Joshua. Cedar looked as cold as usual. She could not notice the slightest difference in his mood! He still looked the same even though they were in an extremely awkward situation before they split up in the afternoon. Isabelle told herself not to overthink about it too much since Cedar acted so calmly. She pleaded for help and said, “Big Brother, help me to say something.” Hearing that, Cedar finally spoke coldly. “What?”
