After ordering, he returned the menu back to the waiter and poured her a cup of warm water, asking: "I was on a business trip two days ago and made an appointment with a specialist friend for children's autism. You can tell Luke later."
Isabella was surprised that he would even be concerned about Rachel's issue, "Thank you, I'll tell him later."
Lowering his head to look at the patterns on the table, Christian then said calmly: "I'll send you the detailed information about the specialist, or else Mr. Allen won't believe me. After all, he has seen quite a few experts this year, and is now even counting on you."
He spoke quite slowly and his voice was very low, giving off an illusion of gentleness.
At the beginning, Isabella was still grateful, but his last sentence suddenly made her feel something was amiss.
It made her feel that he wasn't actually doing this for Rachel, but rather because he didn't want this child to stay with her all day.
She explained with a frown: "It was my idea that she stays with my for a while, and at the very beginning Luke didn't agree. I was the one who insisted on it, and now that you're having a hard time with a little girl. Can you just be more narrow-minded?"
"How generous you expect me to be in face with Mr. Allen?" Christian didn't deny it at all. His attitude was very clear and open as he looked at her with shining eyes.
Isabella anxiously avoided eye contact and spoke incoherently: "He isn't as narrow-minded as you."
"That's because he isn't that into you. Furthermore, it's wasting time to keep that child with your. She should try some professional doctor.
Isabella stared at him for a while.
She didn’t care whether Luke was into her. But what Christian said made sense, as the method she thought of before was only an attempt and would indeed waste time. If there was a chance, a doctor would be the best.
"Text me his contact details later." She said.
Christian smiled, "Mr. Allen can just contact me if he wants to see the specialist."
Isabella, "..."
You stinking man.
She would definitely laugh at him if it didn't work.
The dishes were served.
