Loveless Marriage

Chapter 40   fall in love after days and nights

Instead of raising his glass, Christian picked up his chopsticks with his eyebrows frowned, then asked,

"You still need to work in the afternoon. You can drink off work If you want."

Other than Isabella, the rest were all stunned and looked at Christian’s the glass with the same

expression. They swallowed and then quickly put the glasses, nodding, "Mr. Miller is right. Let's eat

more instead of drinking.

No drinking anymore. Isabella immediately became more relaxed. She placed the glass far away and

started to eat.

Adrian's eyes focused on the two people for a while, then he smiled even.

Isabella's phone suddenly rang after eating for a while,

"Excuse me."

She saw it was Luke. He probably was calling to ask about Rachel, so she smiled to everyone and

answered it without going outside.

"Hi, Luke."

Christian couldn't help but glance at her, when he heard her soft tone.

"Isabella, didi you eat?"

"Yeah, we are eating." She lowered her head and helped Rachel wipe her mouth naturally.

"How is Rachel? Did she bother you? "

"No, she is good and she's eating right now. Do you want to talk to her?" Isabella smiled lightly.

“It’s okay, I'm already on my way. I'll go to your company directly later." As he spoke, his tone turned

gentle. "Thank you for looking after her this morning."

"Looking after her is much easier than work." She pursed her lips and quickly said, "Luke, we'll eat first.

And we'll talk when you get here."

"Okay."

She spoke very lightly. People ate and chatted when she was on the phone. It seemed that nobody

wasn't affected. However, the moment she put down her phone and raised her head, she bumped into

a pair of black, bottomless eyes, which made her heart skipped a beat.

"Miss Isabella and the child's father love each other very much?"

Adrian asked.

The child's father obviously didn't mean her husband. Others might not be able to recognize him, but

she understood.

He seemed to even know about her divorce with Christian.

She was a little suspicious. When did Christian become so long-winded, even he would talk to his

friend?

"If I didn't love him, why would I choose to be together with him? " She lowered her head and gave a

light smile.

Of course Adrian could understand her deep meaning. Raising his eyebrows and looking at Christian,

Adrian curved his lips and said in a lazy smile, "That's uncertain. If the person doesn't love you at first,

but falls in love after days and nights? Isn't there another one called... Love will come time. Most of

these things are variable."

"…"

Isabella didn't expect him to be so straightforward, even speaking of "love will come in time".

Could it be that Christian would fall in love with her overtime? How ridiculous.

He went back home once a week in the past three years. He knew nothing about her, how could he be

in love with her?

"Adrian, are you married?" She raised her head to looked at him and suddenly asked.

Adrian was stunned, "Err, nope."

Isabella looked at him unsurprisingly and smiled slightly, "So … please do not think of marriage as your

opinion of love."

Adrian, "..."

Christian heard their conversation word for word, his handsome face became a a little ghastly.

After the meal, representatives of the Polygon Group were sent back to the company by Christian, who

had planned to go back to Benton Technology in the afternoon,

Isabella was a little confused, but she had no interests to know. Standing at the door of the restaurant,

she said to them, "Mr. Miller, Adrian, thank you for receiving me at noon. I still have to work in the

afternoon, so excuse me.”

Bruce stood besides her with two bags of food.

"One should return as good as one receives.” Christian looked at her in calm, “You invited us to your

company this morning, so I should also invite you to my company in the afternoon. Since we're

neighbors now, we should look after each other in the future."

"Then I'll go back and notify Mr. Smith, and ask him to make the arrangements." Isabella's face

changed, and forced out a smile.

"There is no need. Isn't Mr. Jones free right now? "

She really wanted to curse out loud as her skin at the corner of Isabella's eyes trembled.

Bastard! Did he do it on purpose? Was it fun treating her like this?

Christian laughed again, "If Mrs. Jones wants to go through this process, I can give Mr. Smith a call."

Isabella clenched her teeth angrily, and stared at him with a a forced smile, "There's no need. I want to

visit your company coincidentally."

Even if he called, Mr. Smith still asked her do it.

She breathed deeply and calmed herself down, then turned and said to Bruce: "You go back to the

company first, and I'll go to Mr. Miller’s company to take a look. And, the food is still warm. Tell them not

to forget to eat it, and let them know that this was on Mr. Miller.

Even though the food that she ordered was quite expensive, compared to Christian identity, it was still

too inferior. People would think that he was miserly.

Bruce did not get her intentions and nodded.

”When Bruce’s left, Isabella could not hold any more, as though her face had turned cold in an instant.

She stared at him, "Do you think it is fun?"

The atmosphere was broken by a snigger from the side before Christian could react.

Adrian laughed, and looked at her with a funny smile, "Miss Isabella, you must have had a hard time

holding up your anger?"

He had never seen a woman change her face so fast.

Isabella sneered with her pretty face darkened," Been suppressing yourself, right? Why don’t you go to

be an actor?You must be the best.”

She could tell that this man was a dissolute playboy, either a rich second-generation or a hoodlum.

"You think that I'm playing you? In stead, I feel that you're feeling guilty." Christian looked at her

indifferently, and smiled meaningfully, "Probably only those with a guilty conscience would think so

much."

"…"

Isabella choked and opened her mouth, but didn’t argue with him anymore. Otherwise, he would

definitely talk about the baby in her belly again.

He was right. The reason why she was so angry just because she was guilty.

Indeed, she was not good at lying.

The man turned around and walked towards the car without any change on her face, after feeling her

suddenly disappearing aura.

Adrian curled his lips playfully, reminding her, "Miss Isabella, let's go."

Isabella bit her lips, stared at them, and after a moment, she picked up Rachel and walked over to the

car. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

In the company, Isabella did not hid her anger any more and showed it all on her face.

Anyway, the people here didn't know her, and the people in her company weren't here.

Right now, she was pissed off by Christian.

"Christian, you're back?"

When Lexie saw Christian, her face lit up with happiness. However when she saw Isabella beside him,

and her smile stiffened immediately.

Adrian's eyes moved and his lips were hooked. "Am I invisible?
