Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 22

She couldn’t get such a belly by eating too much.

Next second, With a dark face, Christian strode to the bathroom.  

After rushing into the washroom, Isabella, however, did not vomit anything, but only felt weak.

Why I can't stand even the slightest fishy smell after I got pregnant?

Isabella washed her face with some warm water. When she raised her head, she saw Christian standing behind her in the mirror, with his eyes fixed on her.

Isabella ignored him, trying to walk past him.

"Isabella." Clutching her wrist, Christian’s face darkened: "I need an explanation."

"Mr. Miller, don’t you think you are too good at imagining?" Isabella felt that her wrist was burning. She then pretended to be calm and said, "I'm just too full. That’s it."

Christian interrupted her: "You know it’s not like that."

His gaze was so sharp that Isabella trembled in fear. Seeing that she was unable to free herself from his grasp, she straightforwardly admitted it, "Yes. I'm pregnant."

Christian stared at her, whose expression gradually became complicated.

"It's just been a month." Isabella knew from his eyes that if she told the truth, the baby wouldn’t be kept, because he definitely wouldn't have it.

Smiling faintly, Isabella looked up at Christian: "Don’t doubt it, Mr. Miller, you had been so shrewd every single time when we were on bed. So the child is not yours."

Without saying anything, Christian stared intently at Isabella.

He didn’t deny that, when Isabella admitted that she was pregnant, his mood was very complicated, and he did not know how to face that little life. However, next second, Isabella told him that the baby wasn’t his, and somehow he became frustrated.

Finally, Christian loosed his hand, "Really? Congratulations."

Then he left without another word.

After he left, Isabella could no longer hold on. With her hands holding onto her lower abdomen, she slid down the wall.

As long as she could keep her baby.

Suffered from severe vomiting, sometimes she would even throw up at midnight for a few days. Seeing that, and her changes in clothes, Diana finally realized there was something wrong.

She asked seriously: "Are you pregnant?"

Isabella admitted it as Diana's face sullen bit by bit before she finally heaved a long sigh.

Although Luke often brought Rachel to their apartment, she could see that Isabella had no feelings for him. Moreover, Isabella and Christian had just got divorced, so this child must be Christian's.

"Mom, I can feel his existence. It's a life." Isabella rubbed her belly, feeling that little life, "I want to raise him well, and give him the best."

"Have you thought about what you’re gonna do in the future?"

Isabella comforted her mother: "Mom, I earn over ten thousand a month, even more before long. Are you still afraid that I won't be able to raise your grandson?

Diana patted Isabella’s hand without saying a word, which meant that she had tacitly approved of her behaviour.

On weekends, Luke was also there when Isabella went for Rachel. 

Luke found a nanny for Rachel. But as long as he was not busy at work, he would stay home to accompany her.

Luke gave two cruise tickets to Isabella: "A small prize drawn. I can see that you're having a bad time recently. Why not give yourself a vacation? Go out with your friends and have some fun."

"A four-night, five-day visit in Japan?" Isabella felt that it was not bad to enjoy the view in such place, but Naomi may rather stay at home than hang out with her.
