Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 66

Isabella stared at him and felt a bit upset.

She didn't know why she was suddenly softhearted. She knew that he did this only for the children. Seeing he caring about her, she just couldn't refuse.

'How despicable!" Isabella thought of herself.

Christian bought her a warm milk, then he asked: "What else do you want to eat?"

"I'm not that hungry." Isabella said snappishly.

"Then do you wanna sit down and have a rest?"

In fact, he had followed her the whole way. Lest she be displeased, so he hadn't shown up until just now.

"I'll go back now, and you should as well."

Holding the warm milk, she turned to leave.

Christian stopped her and said: "Your mother's leg is injured, so you'll have nothing to do in the ward. Let's walk for a while and then go back to dinner."

"…"

Isabella stared at him weirdly for a few seconds, then sneered: "You really know how to make decisions for me. When did I say I'll have nothing to do back there? Do you reckon everyone is like you, who wanders around like stray dogs all day? "

Christian, "..."

Stary dogs?

She now really has know how to diss him back.

As a judge's daughter, he always knew she was eloquent, while she had never been as harsh as now. Did she hate him that much?

"I'll be back to Leeds tomorrow, so I'm only free this afternoon. We don't have much time. Come, let's go." He smiled faintly and held her hand again, not letting her refute.

Isabella was startled by his smile just now, and by the time she went back to her senses, she found herself had already followed him behind. Her face flushed, then she said sullenly: "Are you walking your dog? Can you let go of my hand? Don't think you can take advantage of me by using the children as an excuse."

"…"

Christian had no choice but loose the soft little hand he held, as he didn't want to be chased away. The next moment, a speeding car passed by her side.

"Be careful!" Christian's face changed and instinctively pulled her into his arms

Isabella was stunned. Before she could realise what had happened, her body was wrapped in warmth. The smell of his body made her feel at ease.

However, she immediately went back to her senses. With a cold face, she pushed him away, "Let me go! You really don't miss any chance. "

Christian's handsome face look a little tense. He frowned, "This is what I should tell you. I've never seen you so confused before. Can you please be careful when you are walking?"

"You, I …"

Hearing this, Isabella was tongue-tied. Her face flushed, but she could't find any words to refute him.

She'd never known that he was so long-winded before.

After that, it became natural for Christian to hold her hand. She would immediately be obedient as soon as she met his faint gaze, no matter how hard she tried to struggle it away. 

It wasn't because she was scared of him, but because he always could find words to refute her, which mostly were about the children, and that all he did was for them. So she could only give up.

After a while, they arrived at a shopping mall. 

Afraid of meeting acquaintances, she didn't want to go inside, frowning, "Why did you take me here?"

"Shopping."

Isabella immediately tried to break her hand away from his, saying: "You can go yourself. I don't wanna shopping, and I'll go back now."
