Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 81

Christian was still very calm, compared to her burning anger. He casually placed his jacket on the side, then naturally sat on the side of her bed: “I just come back from the company. Knowing that you are here, I just stopped by to see you. Sorry for disturbing your sleep."

"…”

Isabella was almost choked by his sincere words.

Christian's attitude towards her actually didn't change much. He was like a guest before they got divorce, always being polite but distant from her. But now, no matter what she did, he was always patient.

Last time he said he wasn't sure if he liked her, but how did he know that he changed his feelings not because of the babies?

Women seemed to be more doubting than men. He didn't know that every single word of him would make her consider for long.

With complicated emotions, she lowered her eyes and spoke coldly, “Now that you have seen me. Shouldn't you leave?"

Christian's eyes dimmed. Seeing that she was sitting on bed in her pyjamas, he casually put his jacket on her, and asked softly: “Don't you have anything to say? If I don't come for you, you wouldn't go to see me, would you?"

Feeling warm on her body, Isabella unnaturally moved back a bit, and said indifferently, “I came here for business, not travelling, so I don't have time to see you. Besides, do you even have time for me?"

It was already around three or four in the morning, and he even worked until now. Didn't he have so many subordinates? Wasn't he afraid of sudden death?

Christian raised his eyes to look at her, saying, “how do you know that I don't want to see you? What if I say the reason I worked until now is because I planned to return to Brighton at dawn?”

"…"

Isabella was startled for a moment. But in the next instant, she said indifferently with her face turned to the other side, “It's your own reason that you'll need to go back there. Does it have anything to do with me? Do you really have no idea how your mom knew that I'm pregnant?"

If he hadn't keep pestering her recently, would Lexie doubt her?

Initially, she thought that she would never contact with him after divorce, but she didn't expected that things was getting more and more complicated.

Christian nodded and didn't refute, “Sorry. I'll deal with it."

"…”

His apologies made Isabella speechless. Even if she wanted to throw a tantrum, she was unable to do so. Seeing his frustration, she even felt softhearted. 

She unconsciously softened her tone. “There is no hurry to return to Brighton. You should go home and rest first."

A light flashed past Christian's eyes. He then looked at his watch and said: “It'll be morning when I arrived at home. You can sleep for a while. I'll wait outside, and then take you to breakfast."

After that, he took his coat and was about to leave.

Isabella subconsciously called out to him, “Christian, I don't need you to take me for breakfast. You go home."

He had stayed up until now and he must have been frustrated. Why would he even accompany her for breakfast?

Christian put on his jacket, his slender fingers buttoning up the coat. He smiled, “Whether you are willing or not is your business. Moreover, I didn't have dinner last night, so I don't have the strength to drive now."

Isabella's expression changed instantly, as her voice also rose higher and sounded a bit angry: "You haven't eaten since last night? Christian Miller, do you think you are made of iron?”

That was why he looked so bad. He was too busy to eat or sleep. Even prime minister wouldn't be like him.

Had he always worked so hard before?

Isabella felt a little upset for some reason. She frowned and suddenly got out of the bed.
