Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 48

As soon as Christian opened the door, it was closed by Adrian, who came from behind. "I also drank wine and I can't drive. Let Lexie take you back."

   Lexie took the chance and interjected, "Christian, I' drove a car, too. I'll send you back, so that Adrian can go back and rest early."

  Christian frowned and looked at Adrian with darker eyes. "Are you going to stay for the night?

   Adrian smiled indifferently, "I can spend the night every where. I can order a room in a hotel. Don’t make your mom concerned and go back quickly.

   Lexie replied, "That’s right, Christian, your mom is still waiting at home. Shall we go back early? "

  Christian's black eyes examined him for a few seconds, and then turned back to get into Lexie's car, without saying a word.

  Adrian was a little creepy at his last glance, but he endured not to show it and still looked at Lexie closing the door for him with a smile.

   Lexie breathed a sigh of relief, her tone was also light, and waved to him, "Adrian, we'll go first, and take a rest early."

   " Lexie, there is only one chance for you." With his hands in his pockets, Adrian said to her meaningfully.

   Lexie's expression froze. She said nothing, and drove to leave.

   The night was getting darker and the lights of the city were still prosperous.

  After driving a while, Lexie looked at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror, with an inexplicable expression on her face.

   Christian sat back with his long legs slightly bent, eyes closed and motionless, like a handsome and perfect sculpture, which makes people wonder whether he was asleep or pretending to sleep.

   Of course, Lexie wanted him to fall asleep, but at the thought that he drank so much wine because of Isabella, jealousy poured out again.

   A woman with no pretty face, ability or background, and she really didn't understand why he cared about her so much. Probably, he was just couldn't get used to divorce suddenly after their three-year marriage.

   It doesn’t matter. After tonight, she would let him know that each woman is better than Isabella.

   Thinking of what happened next, she couldn't help feeling happy and excited again.

   After a moment, she thought it was time of the alcohol's aftereffects, she tentatively called, "Christian, Christian?"

  Christian didn't respond after a long time.

   She was about to be joyful, his cold and hoarse voice came to her ears suddenly," What's the matter?"

   Lexie was shocked, and explained in a panic, "Err … I wanted to ask if you'd like to call your mom first. "

Adrian said that he had drank. Why was he still clear?

   "No. I won’t go back tonight. Go to the Forest Bay."

   Lexie was stunned for a while, then nodded, "Oh, okay, I will tell your mom later."

   If he didn't go back, it would be just as she wanted. It was just what she wanted if he doesn't go back. No one would disturb her, so it wouldn't ruin her plan.

   Forest bay was the apartment where he and Isabella lived before. He would return there regularly after his divorce, but she has never been there.

  Christian fell silent again after he finished speaking.
