Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 94

"As long as he doesn't make you any trouble. Why are you concerned about him?" Adrian frowned. 

Christian replied calmly, "He suddenly expanded his territory all the way to Brighton. With so many companies there, the first company he went to was Benton, which made me suspicious."      

But the most important thing was that Shawn had been paying too much attention to Isabella, even making Christian feel that the reason Shawn cooperated with Benton was because of her.            

Adrian smacked his lips, "Didn't he start his territory by doing internet? Although Benton can't be considered as outstanding, it was still rather good among all the internet companies in Brighton. If his vision was much worse than yours, he wouldn't be in his current position now."        

Then he stopped, and suddenly smiled, looking at him playfully, "Do you think... that he went to Benton was because of you? Even if so, he should be a woman. Don't tell me he's gay?"    

Christian shot a cold glance at him, and said coldly: "I opened up my filiale there first, then he immediately came. His movements are so fast. Do you think he planned all these in a day?"         

Adrian scoffed, "The reason you opened the filiale was to chase that woman, but what's he for? Even if it was for Polygon, it wasn't the first time you have seen such business competition. Why are you so suspicious?"

"..."

Christian stopped talking. He then lit a cigarette and started smoking. The smoke drowned the deep and unfathomable expression on his face.      

Was he also paranoid about Shawn's intention towards Isabella?            

...

In the hospital, Isabella turned down her laptop after she had finished all her work. Looking at the time on her phone, she slowly pursed her lips.     

Did he really leave her here? 

Didn't he ever think that she would be angry as well?   

Never mind, it would be better if he left, as she could be discharged tomorrow morning.         

She then threw her phone aside, pulled up her quilt and lay down. 

At midnight, the hospital was quite silent. Although the lights were bright, under the white decorations, she couldn't feel any kind of warmth.       

After an unknown period of time, she seemed to hear the sound of the door being unlocked while she was sleeping. Then she suddenly woke up, but she didn't move.      

Under the quilt, her hands were clenched tightly. She held her breath and listened carefully to what was happening.

The footsteps gradually drew closer, which seemed to be lightened deliberately. Not until the person get to the bed did she actually feel him.  

Did he come back? 

Has he finally stop being angry? 

Just as Isabella was wondering, there was a sudden light in front of her eyes.        

Christian pulled down the quilt to reveal her small face. His movements were gentle and slow, and his fingers had accidentally touched her face. His warm touch suddenly made her feel relaxed. 

However, she suddenly frowned and slowly opened her eyes as if she had just woken up. Looking at the handsome face above, she muttered in surprise, "Did you smoke?"       

Although the smell was very light, but as a person who had been addicted to smoking, she could sense it at once.       

She was shocked that he had never touched these things before. Where did he go before?

Christian didn't expect her to suddenly wake up. His hand that wanted to touch her face froze in midair as well, then he quietly took it back, and said gently: "Sorry, I'll wash up later."    

Isabella immediately frowned: "Since when did you start smoking?"   

Christian was stunned for a second, then he smiled carelessly, "I'm an adult, not a child. It's normal for me to smoke."     

"Normal? Then why did you still care about me when I smoked before?"
