Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 152

Isabella took the things to the kitchen. Minh then turned his head to look at Canon. His face darkened, and immediately turned his gaze away.

After a while, Isabella came out of the kitchen with two bowls of pasta. Glancing around, she asked: "Where is he?"       

"He went out to answer a call." Minh pointed to the door.    

Isabella then brought out another bowl of noodles, passing the fork over to him and smiled: "I cooked a few more. Let's eat together."

Minh frowned slightly as he forced himself to sit up, then said in an embarrassed tone, "Miss Jones, sorry for troubling you."           

"Just don't do such foolish thing next time. Fortunately, I'm here, or who knows what may happen?" Isabella looked at him accusingly. Then she took the fork and started to stir the pasta.               

After a long while, she raised her head to look at the door.         

Minh followed her gaze and glanced at Canon, then suddenly asked curiously: "Miss Jones, who is this sir? Why does he look so cold, like he only has one expression?"                  

Isabella's expression froze. She had a mouthful of pasta, then smiled: "just a simple friend. He came to with me from Brighton."   

How much expression could a bodyguard have? She'd seen him so many times, yet he always had that look. Maybe his job was to act cool simply. But she didn't care, as compared to Christian, it was just nothing.             

Minh laughed, "I thought you bring a bodyguard along, which is so cool."         

"I'm not that rich." Isabella smiled guiltily. Then she changed the topic, "There are still some in the pot. I'll buy you some food later before we leave, and you rest well at home for the next two days."  

Minh, "... I'm sorry, Miss Jones. I've made you so much trouble. "   

Isabella smiled and patted his shoulder, saying in a soft voice, "No worries. You helped me before, so I naturally won't see you die at home."          

Minh revealed a grateful expression immediately, and said in a serious and low tone: "Then you'll also need to take care of yourself in the company. Without me, no one will help you cover your pregnancy."

"..."

Isabella felt his words both funny and annoying, but she still promised, "Sure, I'll be careful."     

As Minh was the only one in Benton who knew that she was pregnant, every time she encountered some issues, he'd rush to her front to cover it. He indeed helped her quite a few times.        

Just then, Canon returned and interrupted their conversation.      

Isabella said with a smile: "Mr. Braun, I made some pasta, and you should eat some too. It'll be long journey later."    

Canon wanted to reject but when he saw Isabella's gaze, and he still sat down and said, "Thank you."            

They quickly finished the dinner. Afraid that it would be too late, Isabella and Canon left after settling Minh down and confirming that he would be fine.        .

It was getting dark, and the car was moving steadily on the high speed. As Isabella was so exhausted that almost about to fall asleep in the back sit, she was suddenly awoken by a phone call.   

She yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, then pressed the answer button after glancing at the note on screen.       

Her voice was very hoarse, "Hi."      

"Tired?" His low voice was full of concern.
