Chapter 1817

Cedar loved Isabelle. He kept his feelings for her a secret for many years. His feelings for her started not from her childhood but from when she was a teenager. His feelings for her grew when she grew up into a little girl who could finally experience puppy love. Cedar had already noticed her beauty since then. He began to pay more attention to her little by little. As he learned more about her and understood her, it took him five years to slowly bury her deep in his heart!! She became the girl that he desired. The little girl that was once clingy to him became the treasure of his heart. Before he had any romantic feelings for her, she was already his only one. Of course, she was an important person to him as a family. She had always been the one that he wanted to protect for a lifetime! His feelings for her changed and became love. Even so, he still hoped to protect her for a lifetime. No matter how his feelings changed, his sincere and protective heart for her had never changed. That was precisely why he treated her like a treasure. He even resisted and restrained himself when he felt like touching her brows lightly! Even if he occasionally had desires for her, he stopped himself in time. That was right. Cedar’s heart desired Isabelle. He wanted to be intimate with her too. He wanted her so much, and he hoped that she would stay by his side. He wanted to leave his mark on her. Even so, he did not want to do that when their feelings were not connected yet. It made him feel like he did something wrong. He casually tainted the treasure he cherished so much accidentally. It made him distressed and depressed at heart! “Isabelle! I know you’re drunk, but know your limits!” It was a rare occasion where Cedar lost his temper. Even though he lost his temper, he still controlled and restrained himself! The only difference was that his voice became much colder compared to his usual tone! “Why did you even get angry?!” Isabelle was perplexed as she stared at Cedar. At that moment, it was ineffective communication between them. Isabelle could not comprehend his frustration. After all, she never acknowledged his existence in her heart. That was why she could not understand his feelings. “Isabelle, you won.” The man’s voice sounded so lost. What should he do with her?! Cedar left her behind and went back into his bedroom. He laid on his bed and allowed his thoughts to race in his mind. His emotions rumbled in his heart while he was lost in deep thought. Although he was still slightly angry at Isabelle, he could not deny that he was greedy for her goodness. The kiss earlier gave him so much sweetness. His heart had always been calm as a lake, yet the kiss earlier caused little ripples to appear in his heart. The graceful moon shone beautifully upon the clear night. Cedar touched his lips lightly with his fingers. Isabelle kissed his lips earlier. It became the only secret between them, but without her knowledge. Cedar sighed and moved his fingers away. He turned aside and watched the beautiful night sky outside his window. The clear moonlight engulfed him and formed a vague outline. Meanwhile, the stars shone bright like the eyes of a girl. A few minutes later, Cedar’s phone rang. He sat upright and answered the call. He put his phone beside his ear and listened as the voice came through the phone. It was his assistant. “Mr. Yach, the group that attacked you today are enemies who faced conflicts with you in the past. I’ve already dealt with them properly.” Cedar hummed in response and instructed, “Help me to watch over the company’s matters. If anything happens, look for the vice-president. Look for me only when necessary.” “Understood, Mr. Yach.” After Cedar hung up the call, he suddenly thought about Zachary in his mind. Zachary retired from the center of power when he was only thirty years old. Meanwhile, Cedar was still constantly busy every day when he was thirty years old. It was not like he wanted to be always busy with work. Rather, he seemed to have nothing else better to do other than be busy with his work. It would be effortless for him to retire from the pinnacle of power if he wanted to. He had not been overdoing things throughout the years. He was forgiving, and he knew when to stop. Besides, the others had their focus on Raphael. If Cedar wanted to, he could choose to retire quietly. Even if any trouble happened, he could easily resolve them without worries. While he was lost in thoughts, a pleasant tune suddenly came from the outside of his room. The girl hummed some songs with words but not sentences. Even so, the tune was so melodious. Cedar waited until the humming stopped before he opened his door and left his room. He found Isabelle sleeping in a cute pose on the sofa. She had a sofa pillow between her legs and another one in her arms. Cedar went over to her and removed the pillow from her arms. He then removed the other pillow from her legs. After that, he carefully carried her in his arms. He gently princess-carried her as he brought her back to his room and put her on his large bed.
