Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 84

After politely rejecting their invitation for lunch, Isabella left with Minh and John.

Looking at her watch, she said: "Let's go lunch first, then to the next company.

John nodded.

But Minh frowned, “Shouldn't we go back to hotel and have a rest first?"

Looking at him, Isabella said: "Are you tried?"

"I'm okay, but haven't you walked for long?" Then he winked at her and said with concern, “Don't force yourself if you're feeling uncomfortable. John and I can visit that one in the afternoon."

John was a little confused, but still he nodded, “Um, yeah. That's right."

Isabella shot a glance at him, then looked at herself. Then she suddenly understood, sneering, "Do you really believe what I said? It was just an excuse, as I was afraid of wasting too much time there and it may be more difficult for us to reject their lunch invitation.”

'The period' was only a casual excuse, but Minh actually paid attention to it. This young man might look like careless, but his acuteness sometimes really shocked her.

Startled just for a moment, Minh then laughed. He lightheartedly said: "It seems that I'm still too young. This is another lesson from you, Miss Jones, and I'll be more cautious later."

John finally understood as well, and he said, "It's not only you, I didn't get it either. We won't finish our work this afternoon if we accept their lunch invitation.”

Isabella rolled her eyes, "Stop flattering me. Let's go to lunch."

"…”

As they were having lunch, Isabella got a call from Christian.

She didn't say anything at first, then left the restaurant to take the call.

"Are you busy now?" Christian's voice was a bit hoarse, as if he was just woken up.

Isabella no longer spoke coldly. She only replied calmly: "We're having lunch outside."

"You're not returning to the hotel at noon?"

"Yeah, we don't have much time. We'll visit the next company in the afternoon."

Christian remained silent for a second, then said: “Isabella, you don't need to work so hard like this."

His lazy voice muttered into her ear, which sounded a bit seductive and sexy. Isabella could even feel the warmth of his breathing. Her heart throb.

She really wanted to reply, “If I don't work so hard, would you raise me?" The classic line of soap drama. But they were not in a drama. Even if he said, "Yes, I would", She wouldn't be touched, but feel embarrassed and humiliated."

Looking at the glaring sun, she said, "I take care of my own body, I'll cherish it more than anyone else."

Christian was somewhat helpless. Then he spoke with a heavy voice, "I'm just worrying about the babies. Do you want me to catch you back?”

Being fearless, Isabella sneered and said, “Then you can be worried freely, since they're still in my belly. I'll take them wherever I want. Catch me if you can."
