Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 116

Looking down at the plate, Luke's expression was a bit indifferent, as if he didn't care about what Christian had said. Only after a while did he raise his eyes and lightly smile, saying in a calm and composed manner, "You understands her personality, while I don't care that much. I just care about what's in her mind."

He didn't force her or put her on the spot. He would show up when she needed him, letting her know that he was still here. He believed that she would see these.

Glancing at him, Christian frowned slightly.

Without a doubt, his words still touched upon Christian's heart. In an instant, he reminded of what Naomi had said that day.

Her mind … What was she thinking in her mind?

What did she want that he couldn't give her?

He'd always had this question buried in his heart. He would think of it the moment he saw Isabella. He wanted to ask but couldn't find a good chance. 

...

In the hospital, Isabella woke up not long after sleeping. she'd been like this in the past few days, as she was worried about her father, and would suddenly wake up after falling asleep.       

The light on her head was rather dazzling. Looking around in confusion, she rubbed her aching head, lifted the quilt and got off the bed.          

The surroundings were quite silent, not knowing what time it was.   

She went to the restroom and washed her face. After waking up a little, she looked at the watch on the screen above her head and found that it was already 1am.             

That was why there weren't many people in the Inpatient Department now.     

Then, she went Tristan's ward to see her parents, where Diana was sleeping on an empty bed beside him. When she quietly left the room, she accidentally bumped into someone behind her. Then she apologised in a low voice.

"Sorry..."

"Why are you awake?" 

His cold voice shocked her awake. Seeing that it was Christian, she lowered her voice with a dark face, "Why are you still here?"     

Didn't he even sleep at midnight?  Trying to be a ghost and scare her to death?                  

The man said lightly, "I just finished some work and came to see if you're sleeping well."          

Isabella's face flushed. She lowered her head and walked towards her own ward, asking: "You've been in the hospital today?"          

"I went out for a while."        

Isabella's footsteps suddenly stopped. As if she was scrutinising him, "Were you here all the way my father was undergoing surgery?"                 

Do he'd been in the hospital all day? He just didn't show up as he didn't want to affect her mood?   

She immediately rejected this idea, as she wasn't that narcissistic.  

Christian stared at her indifferently. He didn't lie, as he said, "I was here half of the time. I came when Mr. Allen left."            

Isabella stared at him blankly, saying: "Oh, okay."             

Not knowing if it was her illusion, but she felt that when he mentioned Luke, he didn't look very friendly.        

Not daring to over think things, she turned her face away and urged, "Alright, it's so late now. Go back."        

Since he had been stayed in Brighton for so long, his company was probably now in a mess, so she had no doubts that he'd been working up until this late. To avoid being more guilty, she felt it was better not to see him again.          

Christian's eyes were deep and calm. He looked at her and said, "You've just woken up, and are probably not sleepy now. Go down with me for some night food."

Isabella, "..."

After staring at him for a few seconds, she said, "I'm not your mom. Why do you even need someone to have dinner with? I won't go."
