Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 157

"You are only invited to dinner. Why do you care that much?" Isabella gave him a glare.

Everyone then went to the luxurious private room upstairs.

With forty people sitting around a round table, Jafari let Isabella sit beside him.

Seeing that, Minh wanted to sit over, but was quietly pushed away by Isabella. Then she smiled as she sat down. 

After everyone'd taken their seats, waiters brought in a few bright red crabs.

Jafari smiled, "Guys, make yourself at home. There's still more to come."

Then, he took one crab to Isabella's plate, "Miss Jones, try this. These are all fresh crabs that just arrived here this morning."

Pregnant women better not to eat such food. Took a glance at it, Isabella politely smiled. "Thank you. I can do it myself."

With that, she picked up the tools on the side and slowly peeled, deliberately stalling for time. Then she placed the peeled crab meat in front of Jafari, and said attentively: "Mr. Hand, this is a little token of my affection. You must finish it."

Seeing this, Jafari looked flattered, "You said it's me?"

Enduring her disgust, Isabella smiled as she nodded, "Yes, for you."

Minh glanced at them without saying a word. 

Jafari was eating without noticing that Isabella hadn't even taken a bite. 

However, when she saw the dishes coming later, her face gradually darkened. 

Basically, all of them were forbidden for a pregnant woman, and she never ate them at home. 

But Minh didn't know, who even considerately picked her some, "Have some, Miss Jones."

Jafari, who had just finished the crab meat, also took her some food, "Miss Jones, you're too skinny. Eat more."

Isabella could only laughed dryly: "Mr. Hand, I can do it myself. Thanks."

But as soon as she turned around, she lightly frowned. 

But these dishes...What a coincidence?

Just as Isabella was slowly eating some vegetables, the waiter once again pushed a cart in.

"Mr. Hand, the wine has already been sobered up. Do you want to have it now."

"Okay."

The waiter nodded and filled the glasses one by one.

Seeing the wine was still letting out cool air, her eyebrows knitted even more tightly.

Icy wine?

Minh also noticed that, and he turned to look at Isabella.

Jafari stood up with a glass of wine, saying: "Today is the first official gathering of our two companies since we started cooperated. I hope we can work hard together in the future and have more opportunities like this. Cheers!"

Everyone then stood up and toasted, "Cheers!"

Just as Isabella was about to clink her glass, she was suddenly startled by Minh's loud voice. 

"Miss Jones, aren't you supposed to drink alcohol?"

Instantly, everyone turned to looked at her.

Isabella was also dumbstruck and looked at Minh blankly.
