Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 10

Her mother-in-law and a young women arm in arm, walked over while laughing and chatting. After looking carefully, Isabella recognized her, who was the woman staying by Christian’s side last night.

It seemed that Christian's mother had expected to meet Isabella here in the hospital.

When they saw each other, Christian's mother looked a bit awkward. She nodded towards Diana and smiled: "I’m not feeling very well, so my son told Lexie to take me to the hospital. That’s it, Isabella."

"I know, she is Christian’s assistant." Isabella smiled and held her mother's arm without any fear, "But, mom, you can let me do this next time. There is no need to bother an outsider."

Her mother-in-law smiled awkwardly as response.

But Lexie was rather arrogant, whose face turned cold upon hearing Isabella's sarcastic remark: "Miss Isabella, since I am Mr. Miller’s assistant, it’s my duty to take care of his mother. So I am not an outsider either."

Seeing that a mistress being so arrogant, Diana wanted to argue for Isabella.

Isabella stopped her and said indifferently, "Your boss is Christian Miller, who is my husband. You should call me Mrs. Miller, instead of Miss Isabella. I doubt how you became an CEO assistant since you don’t even know this common sense.”

Lexie looked over more sullen.

Ignoring Lexie, Isabella smiled at her mother-in-law. "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm too busy to accompany you home as well. Lexie will send you back. I'll leave first."

"Okay." Mrs. Miller nodded, without saying any kind words.

Isabella saw the contempt in Christian’s mother's eyes as well. Pretending that she hadn't seen anything, she just walked passed them with her mother. But she felt really sad.

She took much care of Miller’s family before they got married and often visited them with gifts when she was free, whereas no one gave her a good face. Only his mother treated her well, probably because her family was rich.

When Christian's mother was hospitalized for kidney stones, Isabella spent half a month at the hospital taking caring of her. She took three meals, made all by herself, to the hospital every day until her mother-in-law was discharged.

However, having been treating Christian's mother as her own for a long time, who, however, still despised her, she became really frustrated then.

It was really frustrating.
