Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 56

Isabella didn't keep staring at them, but occasionally throw her gaze outside the window. Her eyes were a little dazed. No one knew what she was wondering.

After a long while, someone patted her shoulder. She suddenly went back to her senses. Then she saw that Naomi stand behind whose her expression became a bit gentler than before.

"Good news?" Without asking, Isabella had already guessed out.

Naomi was embarrassed as she pursed her lips and sat down, saying softly: "He said that he wasn't sure about his feeling for me, but he didn't want to upset me as well. He said that he'll be responsible and is willing to take me as his girlfriend. 

"…"

Stunned for a few seconds, Isabella suddenly did not know what to say.

Why did she feel that he was another Christian Miller?

If you don't love her, just say it straight away. Why are you even fucking talking about responsibility? 

But Isabella didn't want to see her upset again, so she only smiled and comforted her, "Looks like he isn't that bad."

"So what! All bullshit." Naomi immediately said what Isabella didn't dare to say, whose eyes revealed ridicule.

Isabella then awkwardly said, "Then what's your reply? Did you agree?"

Naomi looked at her and stated in a bland voice, "I said that we should calm down and shouldn't meet again during this period."

"What's his reaction after that?"

Naomi shrugged her shoulders. No one could not tell if she was  disappointed or happy, "Nothing. After pondering for a whole, he finally said just one word, which was 'Okay'. How indecisive."

Looked at her for a few seconds, Isabella then laughed: "Obviously it's you who aren't ready yet. It's also possible that he was testing you without exposing his attitude yet. He just wanted you to take a step back. "

"What the fck!" Naomi clenched her teeth, "Such a scheming man."

Isabella disdained, "And you still love him that much."

"…"

Seeing that she became happier a bit, Isabella bought her some food then drove her back.

On weekends, Isabella rarely didn't need to work overtime, so she helped Diana to tidy up their apartment.

The doorbell suddenly rang as she was pouring out the withered flowers in the vase.

Diana called out, "Isabella, open the door."

"Okay."

Just when Isabella was wondering who would come to visit this early in the morning on weekends, she was greeted by a 'small ball'.

Stunned, then she smiled: "Hi, Rachel."

Luke anxiously pulled candy back, telling her, "You can't rush over like this, as you may injure auntie."

She probably couldn't understand what pregnancy was, so Luke could explain it that way. 

Rachel glanced at Isabella guiltily, then nodded her head.

Isabella laughed and said, "Luke, it's okay. Come in."

Luke nodded, who was still holding gifts in his hand. Then he gave a bunch of roses to Isabella, "This is for you, Bella."

Isabella looked at the big bouquet of roses and was started for a second. Then she gave a stiff smile: "Thanks, Luke. You don't have to bring so polite next time."
