Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 145

"Oh, I'll sleep right away." Tristan replied in a soft voice. He then went silent again, not knowing what he was thinking of.

Half a minute later, he opened his mouth and begged, "Isabella... Could you do me favour? "

Isabella lowered her gaze. She lightly raised her eyebrows, asking: "Is there anything you haven't confessed to the court and wanted me to help you?"

"…"

Feeling a little embarrassed, Tristan said awkwardly: "It's not like that..."

Isabella continued, "Then why didn't you tell mom but waited me to help you?"

"I don't want your mom to worry. Besides, there's nothing she could do for me. Her legs are not in a very good situation, so don't let her suffer."

Isabella curled her lips, saying: "But I'm pregnant. Do you remember that?"

Tristan immediately choked by her words.

Indeed, she was the most worrisome person in the family right now. How would they be at ease when she took trips and worked with such a big belly?

His old face revealed traces of guilt, then he went silent. 

Seeing him like that, Isabella's heart couldn't help but soften. She said: "Alright, I was just joking. I just want to you to tell everything to mom. She can feel you're in a low spirit even if you didn't say anything."

"Tell me what do you want me to do?"

"Isabella..." Tristan was moved. He then raised his skinny arm, wanting to rub her head, but gave up midway. He said hoarsely: "Tomorrow is the birthday of an old friend of mine, and I want you to have a visit."

Isabella was startled, "Your friend? Who? He didn't come to see you when you were in jail. Are you still wanna visit him on his birthday?"

In the past, he had many friends, but after that incident, no one came to visit him, as well as this time he was ill. 

Now he suddenly mentioned such an old friend, it was reasonable for her to be so surprised. 

Looking into the distance, Tristan seemed to be lost in his thought as he muttered, "Already passed away... "

Isabella's expression froze, and her mood was suddenly down.

So he wanted her to visit a grave? 

No wonder he was in upset today.

Isabella remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly asked: "I'll visit him tomorrow. You can tell me his name and address."

Joy appeared in Tristan's eyes and he couldn't help but hold her hand. Pausing for a few seconds, he slowly said: "Ashley Rodriguez, and you should call her Miss...”

"Wait!" Isabella's face darkened, and she suddenly interrupted him, "Ashley... Miss? A female?"

She'd thought the old friend was a 'he'.
