Loveless Marriage

He Doesn't Like You

Hanging up, Isabella pondered for a few seconds before suddenly staring at Christian with curiosity.

After a long while, she walked to his side, and looked down at his handsome face from above,

"Christian, do you know what Shawn's goal is?"

Christian smiled faintly, "What do you mean?"

Isabella frowned, "You know what I mean."

She tilted her head and suddenly stopped talking. After a few seconds, she raised his eyebrows in

amusement and smiled complacently. "Could it be …he cast his eyes on me? You guys are usually

very different in taste, too. Maybe he does have other intentions for me. "

Christian's smile faded as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He

sneered coldly, "Stop dreaming. He doesn't like you."

Isabella wasn't the least bit angry, but her eyes suddenly narrowed and looked straight at him. "You

indeed know everything."

"…"

Christian choked, this little girl dared to probe him.

After that, he raised his hand and gently caressed her head, confessing helplessly, "I know a little about

it. I'm guessing that he has his eyes on you because of me."

"…"

Isabella's expression slowly changed, "Because of you?"

Her mind buzzed slightly.

When Shawn first arrived in Brighton, he held a party and invited so many local entrepreneurs,

including Benton Technology. She had participated in it by chance and met with him once.

Could it be … The reason he came to Brighton from the very beginning was just because of her? Had

he already found out the relationship between her and Christian long ago?

She suddenly remembered one time when he invited both she and Christian over for dinner. Was he

trying to test him at that time?

The more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt Shawn was.

Isabella suddenly raised her eyes to look at Christian, "He knew that you were married, which was why

he did a detailed investigation on you. Then he find out about me?"

Christian reached out his hand and pinched her cheek, explaining with a smile, "Well, this is very

possible. If he wants to figure out me, he naturally has to know my life thoroughly. As long as he works

hard, it would be quite simple to find you, wouldn't it?"

Isabella frowned. She thought deeply for a few seconds but felt that it was strange, "But we are already

divorced, why did he come to me?"

Hearing this, Christian smiled and looked at her with a deeper gaze. "Only a man will understand a

man's heart. In his eyes, you are still useful."

Isabella blinked her eyes, her tone sounding very puzzled, "What's the use? Even if we weren't

divorced, could it be that he was trying to seduce me by being so attentive to me? I don't think he

would be bothered to do such a disgusting thing. "

Although it Shawn now look like a little sinister, she felt that he couldn't seduce someone's wife for the

sake of business competition. He would ruin his reputation for doing that, so even if he wanted to use

this tactic, he could just find some good-looking subordinate.

"…"

As this logic being told by Isabella with such a casual tone, Christian felt a little uncomfortable and his

face darkened a bit.

Isabella still had some questions she wanted to ask him. But then she saw Christian's somewhat

strange expression, causing her to pause, "You, why are you looking at me with such an expression?

Did I say anything wrong? "

"You've said nothing wrong. Now that you know what he's thinking, will you still stay close him?"

Christian asked.

Shawn Simons, can almost be said to as a perfect man. For women, he is an irresistible temptation. He

can have any woman without even trying to seduce them.

Would she, as a woman who had just undergone unfortunate marriage, refuse to such a perfect man?

"Why should I? He is an important client of Benton. This is nothing to do with private matters."

No matter how much she hated Shawn right now, she would greet him with a smile, as he may benefit

her work.

"But now you know that he doesn't really want to cooperate with Benton. Even if he signs the contract

now, he will find all sorts of excuses to cancel it. For small companies like yours, their reputation will be

greatly affected, and that will be troublesome."

Isabella went silent.

Christian also did not speak anymore , allowing her to think. His fingers brushed against the long hair

behind her back, a calm look in his eyes.

After a while, Isabella raised her head from Christian's embrace and said expressionlessly, "Then I still

have to pretend, as I can't offend him superficially. If I do, Mr. Smith Keats will blame me to death."

Moreover, if she were to voluntarily give up now, how would she explain this to Mr. Smith after she went

back? She couldn't tell him Shawn's real motives.

Christian lowered his head. "So you're still going for dinner with him?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Isabella nodded, "Err … Right."

This dinner would be a must.

"Mm. Alright." Christian nodded indifferently without saying anything else. He didn't have any other

expression on his face.

"…"

Isabella looked at him for a few seconds and asked, "You don't have anything else to say?"

With his clean and long fingers to stroke her temples and lightly caressed his ears, Christian chuckled,

"Didn't you hate people interfering with your work? Won't you go if I don't want to go?"

Feeling that he was continuing to swim further in, she trembled lightly and grabbed his large palm,

pushing him to stand up from the sofa, "I want to take a bath. You go outside."

Christian stared at her slim figure, smiling. "Just go and wash. I won't watch you inside. Why should I

go out?"

Isabella was normally very rational, but she was suddenly stirred up to the point of blushing red and her

heartbeat quickened. She glared at him, "But I don't want to see you, get out!"

"…"

Christian looked at her for a long time but still stood up. His height of over 1.8 meters was one head

taller than Isabella, making her look even more petite.

It was probably because he rarely saw her blushing.

Christian was slightly lost in thought. The large palm suddenly grabbed the back of her head, bent

down, and gently kissed her. "I'll go out and stay for a while."

Otherwise, he may really couldn't help but get into the bathroom, then get slapped and scolded as a

pervert by her.

Some emotions, once they were confirmed, would develop crazily and become uncontrollable. This

was probably how he felt towards Isabella.

Letting her go, Christian picked up his laptop on table and went out.

Isabella stared blankly in a daze for a long time without shifting gear.

At dusk, Minh had not returned yet, and she only brought John and went out.

However, as she sat in the car, she was still in doubt. Her gaze was fixated on the hotel behind

her.
