Thinking about it, Isabella felt that she was quite silly. Why would a man who didn't love her want children? It should be a good thing that her plan didn't work out, or the children would not grow up in a complete family.
"I'll give you 5 million, as I'm afraid it may not be enough." Luke gave the cheque to Isabella.
Isabella did not say anything else. She directly took the paper and pen, and wrote a IOU to him: "Luke, I will try my best to pay you back in a year."
"To me it’s just a small amount." Luke pushed the IOU back and laughed: "Also, he is my teacher, so it’s no hurry to pay back."
"No, if you don't accept this, then I will not borrow the money." Isabella pushed the cheque back too.
Luke had no choice but to put the IOU in his pocket: "Okay, but forget the interest."
Seeing Isabella still wanted to say something, Luke hurriedly said half-jokingly: "If you really feel bad about it, then teach Rachel how to read when you have time, just to offset the interest. She kinda dislikes kindergarten now."
After thinking for a moment, Isabella agreed, "Okay, I was very good at studying before."
"True. You were the first in our province in the college entrance exam that year!" Luke also laughed along.
Isabella was so grateful that Luke was willing to lend her money, so she wanted to treat him to a good meal. But before they left for the restaurant, he got a phone call from his company telling him to go back, "Shall we have dinner next time?"
"No worries. I’ll treat you next time, Luke." Isabella showed her understanding.
After seeing Luke off, she also left for the grocery. When she returned to her mother’s apartment, she surprisingly saw Christian who leaned on his car with a sullen face.
"Why are you here?" Isabella Stood a foot away from him, feeling regretful. If she had knew this, she would not have told him this address when she rented the apartment for her mother.
