Burning Love Cute Husband and His Little Wife

222 The Meaning of a Ruby

Isabella was happy. She felt that Angelina might exaggerate the truth. But Isabella didn’t care since being afraid of cats was not a big deal.

Angelina and Isabella had a little chit-chat on the bed before they fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Joseph was taking a shower in the next room.

The water ran from Joseph’s head to his back, which made him look more muscular.

Joseph turned off the shower, took a towel, and wrapped it around his waist. He wiped his hair while walking out of the bathroom.

He looked toward the room where Isabella was living and felt a bit down.

Joseph walked to the wine cabinet and slid his fingers across those wine bottles. He finally picked up the wine with a higher alcohol concentration.

“I was so silly,” he wondered.

Then, Joseph laughed at himself and poured a glass of alcohol into his throat. He slightly touched the ruby ring on his ring finger while sitting in the dark.

.....

The next day, Joseph was waiting downstairs before Isabella and Angelina came. Once Isabella saw Joseph’s indifferent face, she could barely stand up straight.

“Don’t worry. I’m here for you!”

Angelina pushed Isabella toward the dining table and greeted, “Good morning, grandpa! Good morning, my sweet little brother!”

Charlie immediately replied to Angelina with a smile. But Joseph didn’t even take a look at the girls.

“Good morning, grandpa.”

Isabella greeted Charlie as well. Then, she carefully pulled out the chair next to Joseph and said, “Good morning.”

As expected, Joseph didn’t greet back but took a glance at Isabella.

“I gave Isabella a kitty outfit yesterday.”

Angelina said to Charlie with excitement, “The outfit is so cute! I am going to help her dress up today!”

Charlie was excited as well, “Have a great day! I will pay for any expenses you guys have today.”

Joseph finally joined in the discussion and said indifferently, “You should go by yourself, Angelina. Isabella needs to go to class!”

Isabella refuted Joseph immediately, “I am about to graduate. I don’t have any classes these two days!”

“See?”

Angelina said confidently, “I already knew that Isabella doesn’t have classes today. Joseph, don’t you want to see her dress up nicely? It seems like you love to see Isabella wearing the kitty outfit.”

Joseph couldn’t control his facial expression after hearing Angelina’s words.

Isabella blushed and said, “I’m not used to wearing cute dresses like the kitty outfit. But if you like that, I’ll try to dress up.”

Joseph threw his chopsticks onto the table and said, “I’m full. Let’s go, Gerry!”

Angelina was laughing out loud, “See Isabella, Joseph is shy!”

Isabella couldn’t stop laughing while watching Joseph leave angrily.

After breakfast, Angelina and Isabella were actively chatting on their way to the largest shopping mall in the city.

Angelina’s boyfriend was a freelance photographer. Because of their love at first sight, Angelina went with her boyfriend and left her family. Since then, Joseph lost his sister’s support and had to face the family business obstacles alone. Hence, Joseph was still complaining about Angelina.

That was the biggest obstacle between Joseph and Angelina.

“That’s why Joseph doesn’t like my boyfriend. Joseph tried to break my relationship in the past, and now he doesn’t allow me to go home with my boyfriend.”

Angelina giggled and said, “However, I know Joseph will still care about me as my brother. So, I used my pregnancy as an excuse to come back home. However, since I gave up my right to inherit the family business, I have to live under Joseph’s control at home now.”

“Rosy, you are so cool,” Isabella said.

“But thankfully, grandpa is still by my side! No matter what Joseph does, he will listen to grandpa!”

Angelina parked her car and said, “By the way, Isabella, this mall belongs to the Global Group. Do you have the entry card?”

Isabella was surprised, “This mall belongs to the Global Group?”

Angelina surprisingly looked at Isabella, “You don’t know that? No way! Has Joseph ever brought you to buy anything?”

Isabella turned down her head and said, “We don’t go shopping together. Generally, Joseph would ask the stylist to send things directly to me.”

Angelina looked at Isabella and held her shoulder, “No worries. I have a VIP card. Though it doesn’t as convenient as the entry card, it has the same discount. Let’s go!”

Isabella didn’t expect Angelina to be so generous. Therefore, Isabella didn’t have any concerns and went shopping happily with Angelina.

Isabella hadn’t bought so many things at once in the past. She didn’t know what a wealthy young lady’s life was like until today.

A few moments later, William arrived at the mall with four guards. They put everything Angelina bought into a recreational vehicle.

It seemed like Angelina bought everything from the mall.

Isabella was shocked by the big pile of clothes carried out by the guards. Angelina said calmly, “Do you see the jewelry shop over there? I want to go there and buy a gift for my future mother-in-law. I need to go to the bathroom. Could you please go and take a look first.”

Angelina gave her handbag to Isabella while talking, “Cards and cash are all here. If you find something good, just go and get it. I’m not good at choosing jewelry.”

“No problem!”

Isabella took the bag and was very happy to help Angelina do something since Angelina bought her a lot of gifts. Then Isabella walked into the jewelry shop with excitement.

There were so many fancy pieces of jewelry that could make people feel dizzy in the shop. Even though the shopping assistant was very enthusiastic, the price was so high that Isabella couldn’t stop her legs from trembling.

It was the first time Isabella had visited such an expensive jewelry shop. Isabella couldn’t believe that a price tag could contain so many zeroes.

Isabella walked around the counter. Suddenly, a male ruby ring caught her attention. Then Isabella paused and gazed at the ring.

“How can I help you, Miss? Do you want to take a look at the male’s rings?”

The shopping assistant said with a smile, “Ruby symbolizes enthusiasm and luck. It would be a perfect present for your boyfriend. We call the ring ‘the love stone,’ which symbolizes the love between a couple is as strong as a stone. There are more rings for couples.”

Isabella was stunned, “The love stone...”

“Yes. It symbolizes the incarnation of an immortal bird...”

The shopping assistant continued to talk even though Isabella didn’t pay attention to the speech anymore.
