Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 

With such a beautiful hope, Leo persisted. Ultimately, he enlisted the support of his entire family to propose marriage to Isabella. 

Leo believed that even if Isabella’s family were not present, as long as Isabella agreed first, it would be easier to discuss the matter with her parents in the future. 

Ben and Susan were also dragged away by him. 

At first, Ben didn’t want to go, but when he saw that Charlie was going, he became concerned that Leo might do something reckless and upset Charlie. So, he decided to accompany them. 

In the car. 

Leo had been excitedly telling them how much Isabella loved him and how they were a good match. 

Penelope echoed, and her eyes brimming with happiness. 

After all, Isabella’s family background was much better than that of Susan. 

If Leo married Isabella, not only would he receive the Smith family’s support, but he would also suppress Ben in that regard. 

The more Penelope thought about it, the more delighted she became. 

As Penelope and Leo were in great spirits, they reached the Smiths‘ villa. 

In the early morning, Isabella was having a tantrum when the housekeeper arrived to inform her that Leo had arrived. 

“I don’t want to see him!” Isabella’s voice was sharp. “Tell him to get lost!” 

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and quickly said, “Miss Smith, Mr. Charlie Landor, Mr. Ben Landor, and Mrs. Landor have all arrived.” 

“Ben is here?” Isabella was stunned for a moment before she said, “Then invite them in!”

The housekeeper went outside. 

Isabella’s mood was rather intricate. 

Ben should have known what happened yesterday, right? 

Did he know that Leo had schemed against her? 

Ben was a genuinely kind person if he knew that she had been framed. He wouldn’t harbor any ill feelings towards her, would he? 

Isabella felt a brief mix of nervousness and anticipation. She was in a dilemma. 

After a while, the housekeeper led them in.. 

“Mr. Landor senior,” Isabella was very tactful and greeted Charlie first. “Please, have a 

seat.” 

Her attitude was so good that Charlie couldn’t help but smile. “Isabella, you’re a good girl.” 

As Charlie praised her, Isabella modestly lowered her head. 

“Isabella,” Leo didn’t want to waste any time. With enthusiasm, he declared, “I’ve come to propose marriage.” 

“Propose marriage?” Isabella looked at Leo in disbelief. 

Propose marriage? 

What the hell? 

Was Leo crazy? 

She had clearly rejected him before! 

“Are you… so happy and unsure how to react?” Leo said with a smile. “Don’t worry. I promised to take care of you, and I intend to keep that promise.” 

Isabella was bewildered. When did she ask him to take responsibility? 

Furthermore, Leo revealed what had transpired between them in front of Ben, causing

Isabella to feel deeply embarrassed. 

“This is a gift my mother prepared for you early in the morning,” Leo said. “If you accept it, we can consider our engagement settled for now. Please tell your family that we intend to visit them in Riowert for the wedding,” Leo proposed. 

Penelope also said with a smile, “Yes. You and Leo are not kids anymore. You should get married as soon as possible. I also want to have grandchildren.” 

Isabella was speechless. 

“What? What is happening? Why are they discussing me giving birth to a child for Leo? Leo was definitely dreaming,” Isabella’s thoughts roared within her. 

“Isabella?” Leo asked, a curious look on his face when he observed her quietness. “Are you truly so happy that it’s left you without words?” 

Then, he generously said, “Well, let’s go to the Riowert to meet your parents immediately. The sooner we resolve this matter; the sooner you can have peace of mind.” 

“To hell with meeting my parents!” Isabella’s face darkened with anger. 

She subconsciously glanced at Ben. 

Ben drank his coffee leisurely and didn’t even spare her a glance. 

Isabella’s heart was broken. 

She had been framed by Leo, yet Ben continued to treat her with coldness. Why was her life so filled with misery? 

No, that wasn’t right. 

Isabella tried her best to convince herself. 

Ben was an upright person. 

He did not speak because he did not know the truth. 

After all, Leo would never tell Ben that he had schemed against her.

Ben probably thought that she and Leo were in love with each other. 

No, she had to expose Leo’s plot. 

Thinking of this, Isabella forced a smile. “Don’t bother, Leo. My parents won’t agree to our marriage. Just pretend that nothing happened yesterday.” 

“I might be able to pretend, but others can’t. They saw us together on the bed,” Leo said. “Furthermore, how can you be so sure that your parents disapprove without even meeting me? I’m well–educated, accomplished, and quite good–looking. They have no reason to be displeased with me.” 

“That’s right.” Penelope also nodded repeatedly, “Leo is the best.” 

Isabella felt a surge of frustration towards both of them for their lack of self–awareness. 

She would never marry Leo. 

But in this case… 

It seemed that it was not easy for her to get rid of Leo. 

Isabella thought for a moment and suddenly looked at Ben. 

She took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Landor, can I talk to you alone?” 

She wanted to tell Ben about what Leo had done.

Everyone said that Ben hated evil as his enemy. Surely, he would have sympathy for her and convince Leo to abandon this audacious idea altogether. 

Ben put down his coffee cup and raised his eyebrows. “Is this necessary?” 

“Indeed, Isabella, this is our marriage. If there’s anything you need, just tell me,” Leo 

assured.
