Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 2044

Chapter 2044

Isabel certainly took her time.

It was not so much that she wanted to keep Martha waiting, but there were countless marks on her neck left behind from the activity last night. She scrambled for a way to cover them, but all the clothes she had were no good for the task, so she ended up wrapping a scarf around her neck.

Upon seeing Isabel come out of the room at last, Martha quickly brought her a bowl of soup as well as a healthy portion of food.

She motioned with a smile. "Isabel, you must be starving. Have a seat and dig in.”

Isabel smiled awkwardly. "Aunt Martha, where's Roland?"

It did not seem like he was inside the house at all Had he stormed off because he was upset with her?

"Roland went to work." Martha glanced at the silk scarf tied around her neck and remarked, "He didn't mean to leave you behind. He's been waiting for you to wake up since this morning. Then, he received several phone calls from work and had no choice but to leave to attend to something important."

Isabel wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury herself in. She was not blaming Roland for leaving her; she was only curious about where he went to.

That aside, what was more important was that Martha seemed to know what the two of them had got up to last night.

She had slept with him at his place. How embarrassing!

Her mood shifted dramatically several times before she finally managed to compose herself and act as naturally as possible. She muttered a vague 'okay' before sitting down at the dining table and eating.

Martha sat next to her, watching her eat with a kind and affectionate smile. She observed as Isabel wolfed down two bowls of rice and three bowls of soup.

She could not help it as she was starving.

When she stepped out of the room, she was practically moving her limbs through sheer force of will.

Besides, the food that Martha made was heavenly.

After she had her fill at last, she set the bowls aside and thanked Martha, "I'm full. Thank you for the meal. I'll be leaving for now. I need to get to work."

With that, she grabbed the bag that she had packed when she came out of the room.

Martha seemed alerted by this. She followed her to the door and asked warily, "Isabel, why are you bringing such a large bag? Aren't you just going to work? Are you not planning to stay with us anymore?"

Isabel quickly explained, "It's not like that, Aunt Martha.

We're shooting a new series right now, and the location for the shoot is pretty far away. To make the scheduling easier, I have to stay at a hotel near the place with the rest of the crew for a while."
