What magic potion did that woman have him drink? Before they got divorced, they had never been so intimate. Why now...
Looking at the sumptuous dishes in front of him, Christian taunted: "You'd rather believe trust other's words than your own son's."
"I …" Mallory choked.
Christian picked up his fork, casually picked a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. Then he lazily said: "Whether or not I help her during this period is my own business. If you still care about the Miller's reputation, don't make it too public."
"Pah!"
Mallory put down her fork heavily, then said with an anger look, "An I still your mother? You want to go against me just for a woman you've divorced? Christian, do you think that I am useless now? And I can't even distinguish good from bad?"
"Can't you see her minds? Does she even love you? She's been unwilling to give birth to a child during the past three years. Has she visited you in your company? Why do you still care about a woman who only wrapped up in her career?"
She knew that her son could be very stubborn sometimes, whose decision was hard to change once he made up his mind. But she'd never let Isabella enter their Miller family once again.
Christian continued eating, his eyes dimmed slightly, "You don't know about these things, and your son doesn't need you to teach him a lesson."
Isabella didn't even know what exact job he was doing. Since she didn't ask, he naturally didn't tell her.
He'd thought about what Naomi said to him that day, and he realised maybe he hadn't truly understand Isabella. Even if he could see through her thought now, that was only the present Isabella. He had no idea of her minds during the past three years.
"You!" Mallory was so angry that she even felt dizzy. She closed her eyes and panted fiercely, then coldly said: "I won't eat anymore."
After that, she angrily went upstairs.
Christian's expression didn't change at all. Hearing the sound of the bedroom door being shut, he wiped his mouth by a tissue, then slowly stood up: "Annie."
"Sir."
"Bring her some snacks later on. Tell me when she's asleep."
"Okay." Annie nodded, then asked, "Will you stay tonight?"
"No. I have something to deal with. "
Putting on his coat, Christian straightly went out.
After sleeping soundly the whole night, Isabella woke up early the next morning.
The surgery was scheduled on the morning.
Luke called her. After his repeat asking, Isabella couldn't refuse but tell him the surgery time.
When Luke arrived at the hospital, he saw the scratches on her neck. His expression immediately changed, "What's wrong? Who did this? "
"It was just an accident yesterday. It's over now." Isabella laughed unconcernedly. She then waved at Rachel, "Come here, Rachel."
The little girl happily ran to where Isabella was.
Isabella pinched and kissed her tender and soft cheeks, laughing: "You've grown fatter and taller. Do you miss me?"
Rachel blinked her clear eyes and nodded her head.
