Enchanted By His Charm

Chapter 24 24: Don’t Be Mistaken



Irish smiled even more brightly, "You're wrong there, you're a man, so whatever mistakes the woman beside you makes, people will only blame you. That's the nature of human beings."

A trace of obvious amusement deep in his eyes spread to a smile on his lips. He stared at her, smiling for a long moment, and said, "A woman beside me?"

Of course, it was a joke and a little punishment for him, but she didn't expect he would take it so literally. His rhetorical question was ambiguous, which made him seem vague to Irish. She licked her lips and said indifferently, "I mean the woman who is sitting beside you."

For a man who was married, he couldn't afford to play with such an ambiguous affair and vice versa. She was not an innocent young girl anymore, and she would never have a half relationship with him, let alone a married man.

She wanted a simple man, and in this case, she would always be able to tell what he was thinking every day. She could understand him and feel his love easily.

But that was not Joseph. A man who is extremely profound and calm usually has many more unknown emotions behind closed doors.

Love should never be in question, of course; maybe it was fruitless to be in love with a man like Joseph because you need to go to great lengths even to understand what he's feeling.

Love?

Irish's heart suddenly skipped a beat. How could she even think of an affair with him? It was complete nonsense.

After hearing her witty remark, Joseph shook his head and laughed, then opened the car door. As soon as he got out of the car, he quickly became the target of attack. He was surrounded by the increasing grievances of those people in the alley.

"Hey." Irish rolled down the window and ignored the upset people shouting at him. Joseph stopped and looked at her.

"Don't be mistaken, I'm only here for the cheese." Her deliberate smile almost made his blood boil.

Joseph knew it was her punishment for him, but he remained calm and simply said, "Okay."

"Thanks to you." Irish perceived his calm expression and felt relaxed. She didn't know that he was filled with embarrassment right now, but at least he was embarrassed, meaning he did have emotion after all.

But she had to admit that this man had a strong ability to control his emotions. After all, not anyone could keep such a solid demeanor under this kind of awkward atmosphere.

However, when he was about to step into the shop, a middle-aged woman finally couldn't help but stop Joseph and say, "Hey, young man, it's okay to want to cheer up your girlfriend. But your happiness shouldn't be based on inconveniencing everyone around you. We see your fancy car, and you drove it right into the alley here. Why didn't you park your car up the street and walk here like everyone else?" The woman chattered on without stopping.

Gradually those onlookers began to join in with the woman. Facing so many people at once, Joseph stood in the doorway of the shop and wasn't able to say anything. The scene reminded Irish of the anti-capital period, a former landlord was criticized just like Joseph now.

With this in mind, she couldn't help bursting into laughter.

His girlfriend? What a joke!

"Oh, look at this girl! She is smiling! Everyone is serious about this, why are you laughing?" The woman said, then turned to Joseph after seeing Irish's conceited look, "You don't look like a frivolous person, why aren't you dealing with your girlfriend here?"

Others condemned even more harshly.

"I'm really sorry that I've caused such an inconvenience, and I'll drive away as soon as we're done here," Joseph said with an extraordinarily modest attitude to those onlookers. After he finished, he turned to Irish and said in a soft but cautionary tone and with the indulgent expression a boyfriend may have, "Close the window and stay in the car."

Irish looked awkward but was soon relieved when she caught the light bantering expression on his face. Wow, he was really a good actor. But she still followed his words since she didn't also want to be the target of public criticism.

It was proven that people would always easily give a person who was attractive, and not to mention Joseph was gorgeous and had apologized so sincerely before the public, they didn't continue and dispersed gradually.

Irish thought they had all evaluated him based on his appearance.

It was a cheese store that was part of the community and very old, so there was always a long line up in front of it way past closing time. She could clearly see that there were tons of people waiting to buy the cheese outside the store, so she could be waiting a while. She picked up an iPad and started playing a game on it. Once she was absorbed in the game, she heard someone gently knock on the window. Looking up, she saw it was the middle-aged woman from before. She was shocked and assumed the lady had come to place blame on her as well. But just then, the woman motioned for her to roll down the window.

Irish did it.

While the window was slowly rolling down, the woman suddenly became extremely kind and formed an obvious contrast to what she was like earlier with Joseph. Before Irish could ask her what she wanted, she said early to Irish, "Though you're a little bit conceited, your boyfriend is a really good man, and he loves you so much."

"I'm sorry?"

"You should cherish him. Nowadays, it's not easy to find a man who treats you so sincerely." The woman looked a little bit excited and said this earnestly to Irish. Then she patted her shoulder and left.

Irish was puzzled by her words, and before she could make sense of what she meant, she saw many people leave the cheese shop while staring at her strangely. She wondered how they were able to buy cheese so quickly, but what confused her was that they didn't have anything in their hands as they left.

Irish frowned, and her eyebrows furrowed. After seeing the weird look that was too complex to understand, she couldn't focus on the game anymore.
