Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 129

Isabella pursed her lips and became silent.

Christian looked at her as the glint in his eyes gradually deepened. He then gently wiped away the tear stains on her cheek and said a low voice, "I'll send you to the restaurant first, and I'll leave, ok?"

Isabella slightly tilted her head to avoided the tip of his finger, saying faintly: "No need, you can leave now."

Christian frowned, "Isabella..."

How could he leave just leave her out there? 

Isabella expressionlessly looked at him, then laughed, her clear face bright and beautiful, "I wanna hang out alone. If you still want to follow me around, do as you wish, but don't let me see you."

With that, she left without looking back.

Christian frowned immediately but didn't follow up.

On the sidewalk, Isabella slowly walked alone, not caring if he'd followed her or not, and she gradually lost in her thought.  

After an unknown period of time, her body staggered, but she didn't pay any attention of it. Just as she was to continue to walk forward, a child's voice suddenly sounded, "Miss, you bumped into me…Why didn't you apologise? "

Isabella was startled, then she immediately went back to her senses. Turning her head, she saw a cute girl was looking at her unhappily.

She quickly squatted down with an apologetic look on her face. "I'm sorry…I didn't notice that. Did you get hurt?"

The girl pursed her lips and sternly lectured her with a soft voice, "Miss …You can't do this. Mom says you have to pay attention when you're walking, or you may fall and even step on the kittens and puppies…"

"Umm…"

Looking at that tender face which was even smaller than her palm, Isabella felt a bit embarrassed. she bit her lips and nodded, then promised solemnly: "Got it! I was wrong. I will definitely pay attention next time."

The girl raised her small hand and patted Isabella's forehead as if she was stroking a pet. Then she said in a gentle voice, "That's right. Mommy says a good kid is one who admits its faults and change…Goodbye Miss, I'm leaving now …"

Just as Isabella was about to nod and say goodbye. She looked around and asked: "Sweetie, are you alone? Where's your mommy?"

Not until now did Isabella realise the girl was alone without an adult with her. 

"Mom isn't here. My grandma is over there." She pointed at an elder sitting on a bench not far away.

Glancing at it, Isabella felt relieved. She gently caressed her hair and said, "Alright, go to your grandma now. Don't run around alone, okay?"

"Oh, Goodbye Miss."

Waving at her, the little girl then running away.

Looking at her back, Isabella smiled. She slowly stood up and patted off the dust on her coat. When she was about to leave, a raindrop suddenly dropped onto her face, cold and heavy.

Stunned, she looked up at the sky.

The rain was falling heavily in droplets on her face from the grey dark sky.

Her expression suddenly changed. She touched her bag, then hastily turned and ran as she yelled, "Hey little girl!"
