Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 174

After washing up, Isabella lied on bed in her pyjamas, reading a storybook with Rachel. 

Seeing the little girl fall asleep with her breathing evenly, she carefully lifted the blanket and got off the bed.

She then took her phone and lightly walked to the balcony. 

Turning on her cell phone, she hesitated before dialling a number. 

It took a long while before the call connected. "Oh... Isabella... " It was a hoarse male voice. 

Isabella instantly sensed that something was amiss with him, "Christian... What's wrong with you?"

Didn't he go to see his mother?

Her heart suddenly sank as she asked anxiously, "What happened to your mother? Where are you now? "

"Ugh... I, I just came back... Scenery Bay."

Christian's voice was hoarse and low, which didn't have much strength. 

Scenery Bay?

Aren't they at the same place? 

Isabella raised her head and looked at the residential area under the night sky. The light from the lamp scattered around her bit by bit, making the air a little chilly.

Did something really happen?

The suspicion in her heart also made her more and more worried. Isabella didn't ask too much and hung up the call. She then quickly put on a coat and quietly went out. 

She then rushed to his apartment. 

Fortunately, the two apartments were not far from each other. She tightly wrapped her coat around her and climbed into the elevator.

She was really worried all the way here. However, once she stepped out of the elevator and stood at the door, she suddenly hesitated. The impulse in her heart was suddenly overtaken by reason.

Why she came back now? 

After the divorce, she had never returned to this place.

With cotton slippers, a white cotton nightgown, and a long black coat draped over her shoulders, her fair ankles and half of her feet were exposed, as well as her long hair, which she hadn't combed in time.

She lowered her head and looked at her current appearance in a daze. She stood there for a long time without moving, and mixed feelings surged in her heart.

But soon, she recalled Christian's voice just now, and quickly knocked on the door. 

After coming back to her senses, she clenched her fists even more tightly and no longer had any misgivings as she knocked on the door a few more times.

She waited anxiously and nervously for a while before she heard some sound coming from inside.

The door opened instantly.

Their eyes met.

Christian's pupils shrank extremely quickly. Before Isabella could react, he suddenly reached out and pulled her in. With a turn of his body, he pressed her head against the wall and kissed down.

"Ugh... "

Isabella opened her eyes wide, her mind in a complete blank.

Alcohol?

The strong smell of the alcohol entered her nose and mouth, making her enter a trance-like state.

Wasn't his mother sick? Why did he drink so much?
