He'd seen that Minh a few times, but he didn't pay too much attention to him at the beginning. Until last night...
He hoped he didn't overthink.
Isabella got on Christian's car and returned home first, but she was still wondering about the thing last night.
In the Scenery Bay.
Isabella entered her apartment, followed by Christian who insisted on staying with her.
Seeing them come back together, Diana wasn't surprised at all. But the way she looked at them made Isabella feel very uncomfortable.
"Christian, make yourself at home." Diana waved at him.
Christian smiled warmly, looked at Isabella, and said: "I'll visit Mr. Jones first."
Diana pointed to a room, saying: "That room."
Before Isabella could stop him, Christian had already headed towards the room.
She glanced at him expressionlessly without saying anything, then walked into the living room and sat with Diana.
Probably having heard something and seen it was Isabella through the crack of the door, Rachel quickly ran to her from the bedroom.
Isabella gently said, "Come over, Rachel."
The little girl immediately snuck into her embrace.
Caressing her soft and tender face, Isabella asked Diana: "Mom, aren't you going to ask me why I didn't return last night?"
Without even looking at her, Diana said, "You're not a kid anymore, and you still want me to keep an eye on you? You may find me annoying if so, and I still need to take care of dad."
With an aggrieved expression, Isabella said, "Mom, I'm pregnant now. Who was the one that insisted on staying with me all day? But now you even refused to look at me?"
"Since there's someone more concerned with you than me, I don't have to be like that way." Diana said indifferently.
Alright then.
Isabella glanced at her dad's room and asked coldly: "Did he tell you why I didn't come home last night?"
Diana finally turned her gaze from tv show to Isabella and snorted disdainfully, "You dared to ask this. Do you even know how shameless you're. Thank goodness it was Christian last night, otherwise I'll break your legs."
"…"
Isabella was stupefied, and looked at Diana in a daze.
Shameless?
What the hell did she do?
What did Christian told Diana last night? Surely it wasn't about the thing that she went to hospital last night, otherwise, her mother definitely wouldn't have such an attitude now.
