Chapter 1805

Isabelle was freezing in the cold. Her whole body was so cold. Cedar removed his black coat and wrapped it tightly around her. Even so, her slender body was still trembling. In the end, Cedar could not bear to see her in that state. He gave up the boundaries he set between his distance from her. He bent forward and effortlessly princess-carried her in his strong arms and onto his firm chest. Isabelle did not mind it at all. She moved closer to wherever the warmth was. She hugged Cedar’s waist tightly and buried herself deep in his embrace. Cedar’s assistant, who came along quickly, helped Cedar put on another coat again. Isabelle was wrapped in Cedar’s clothes. If one looked from behind, one would not be able to tell that Cedar was carrying a girl with him. It looked more like a tiny little child nestling in Cedar’s arms. Cedar’s body turned stiff when Isabelle hugged him. He had never gotten so close to another woman before throughout his life. Moreover, the little one in his arms was the one his heart desired. Although Cedar’s body was stiff from her touch, he calmly stepped out onto the snow with large strides and a steady pace. He left the snowy grounds and brought Isabelle to where they stopped the car. Once they arrived, Cedar put Isabelle into the car that was already warm from the car’s heater. Just as he turned around to leave, Isabelle grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Where are you going?” Cedar turned aside and stared at her with confusion in his eyes. “Big Brother, where are you going?” Isabelle repeated her question when Cedar remained silent. Cedar said faintly, “Why?” He never answered her. Instead, he asked her a question. Cedar would never let others move him. Isabelle stared at him with a pitiful look and said, “Don’t leave me alone.” Isabelle did not know anyone in the area. There was no one she could rely on except for the man right in front of her. Although he was not her biological brother, he was the only one closest to her and reliable amongst all the other strangers. She felt so wet and cold after staying in the snow for too long. She could not bear to let him leave. She wanted to rely on him. Cedar’s face remained cold, and he still said nothing. However, when he turned his face away, he had a slight smile on his lips. He was in a happy mood. Once Cedar took a bag from his assistant, he then went back to the car. Isabelle was surprised when she saw him coming back to the car. Cedar put the bag beside her and said, “Get changed.” Immediately, Isabelle knew it was her change of clothes. “Oh. I’ll change immediately,” said Isabelle. Cedar closed the car’s door like a gentleman. While he waited for her to get changed, he lit a cigarette and took a puff. The man’s palms were large and pale. His fingers were long and slender. He also wore two fashionable yet retro rings on his hand. On his wrist, he wore a stylish black leather wristwatch that made him more charming. Of course, those items were just accessories that amplified his charms. The way Cedar stood there already exuded such an elegant and strong aura. The man was handsome, neat, and looked reliable. He would easily charm women from all classes, but he always refused them to get closer. “Mr. Yach, the headquarters are still chasing us for an update.” Cedar turned a deaf ear to his assistant. Suddenly, he recalled the pitiful look she had earlier. She looked so heartbreaking yet lovable. For the past two hours, fear arose from the bottom of his heart while he searched for her. He feared that something would really happen to her. Fortunately, he found her to be fine and safe. Otherwise, Cedar would not be able to forgive himself. If he could not protect her, why did he work so hard all those years? What was the point in reaching where he was? What was the point of having all that power and influence? All the pain he had and suffered, was there any point to it at all? Cedar roughly estimated the time she needed to change. Then, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and turned around. He put his hand on the door handle and said with a faint tone, “Postpone my work for another three days. Don’t disturb me even if it’s an emergency.” Cedar’s assistant sighed helplessly and obeyed his orders. “Yes, Mr. Yach.” Cedar then got into the car. Isabelle started coughing when she smelled the cigarette smoke on his body. He paused and asked her, “Should I get out of the car?” Isabelle shook her head and replied, “I can endure it.” Isabelle’s body gradually warmed up, but her fingers were still as cold as ice. She naturally reached out to Cedar’s palm and said, “Big Brother, warm me up. Bella is almost turning into a popsicle.” She referred to herself as ‘Bella’. It sounded like she was acting like a baby towards him. Cedar pursed his lips and was soft-hearted for her. Everything about her was a fatal temptation to him. He did not hold her palm back, but he did not reject her action. He simply allowed her to do whatever she wanted to get some warmth from him. Once Isabelle felt much warmer, she finally regained some strength. She said, “It’s all my fault. I knew the wind wasn’t great today, but I still insisted on paragliding. Big Brother, I’ve caused you trouble.”
