Loveless Marriage

Chapter 56 He Wasn't That Bad

Isabella didn't keep staring at them, but occasionally throw her gaze outside the window. Her eyes

were a little dazed. No one knew what she was wondering.

After a long while, someone patted her shoulder. She suddenly went back to her senses. Then she saw

that Naomi stand behind whose her expression became a bit gentler than before.

"Good news?" Without asking, Isabella had already guessed out.

Naomi was embarrassed as she pursed her lips and sat down, saying softly: "He said that he wasn't

sure about his feeling for me, but he didn't want to upset me as well. He said that he'll be responsible

and is willing to take me as his girlfriend.

"…"

Stunned for a few seconds, Isabella suddenly did not know what to say.

Why did she feel that he was another Christian Miller?

If you don't love her, just say it straight away. Why are you even fucking talking about responsibility?

But Isabella didn't want to see her upset again, so she only smiled and comforted her, "Looks like he

isn't that bad."

"So what! All bullshit." Naomi immediately said what Isabella didn't dare to say, whose eyes revealed

ridicule.

Isabella then awkwardly said, "Then what's your reply? Did you agree?"

Naomi looked at her and stated in a bland voice, "I said that we should calm down and shouldn't meet

again during this period."

"What's his reaction after that?"

Naomi shrugged her shoulders. No one could not tell if she was disappointed or happy, "Nothing. After

pondering for a whole, he finally said just one word, which was 'Okay'. How indecisive."

Looked at her for a few seconds, Isabella then laughed: "Obviously it's you who aren't ready yet. It's

also possible that he was testing you without exposing his attitude yet. He just wanted you to take a

step back. "

"What the fck!" Naomi clenched her teeth, "Such a scheming man."

Isabella disdained, "And you still love him that much."

"…"

Seeing that she became happier a bit, Isabella bought her some food then drove her back. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

On weekends, Isabella rarely didn't need to work overtime, so she helped Diana to tidy up their

apartment.

The doorbell suddenly rang as she was pouring out the withered flowers in the vase.

Diana called out, "Isabella, open the door."

"Okay."

Just when Isabella was wondering who would come to visit this early in the morning on weekends, she

was greeted by a 'small ball'.

Stunned, then she smiled: "Hi, Rachel."

Luke anxiously pulled candy back, telling her, "You can't rush over like this, as you may injure auntie."

She probably couldn't understand what pregnancy was, so Luke could explain it that way.

Rachel glanced at Isabella guiltily, then nodded her head.

Isabella laughed and said, "Luke, it's okay. Come in."

Luke nodded, who was still holding gifts in his hand. Then he gave a bunch of roses to Isabella, "This is

for you, Bella."

Isabella looked at the big bouquet of roses and was started for a second. Then she gave a stiff smile:

"Thanks, Luke. You don't have to bring so polite next time."

"Who is it …Oh...!"

Suddenly, Diana's cries came from balcony.

"Mom!" Isabella put down the roses and ran to the balcony quickly.

Luke rushed to the balcony as well. Looking at Diana who fell to the ground, he was shocked, "Auntie!"

"Mom!"

Isabella's face turned pale. She bent down to held her, asking anxiously: "Are you all right?"

Diana herself was so frightened that her face was ashen. She slowly stood up, then suddenly cried out

in pain, "It hurts so much, Gosh!"

Isabella was became scared. She anxiously squatted down and checked, "Where does it hurt?"

"Sit down first!" Luke remained calm and pulled over a chair to help her sit. Then he squatted down and

examined her wound.

He pinched her leg lightly, which caused Diana to gasp, "Right, here it is."

Luke asked again, "Do you feel painful at any other places?"

"No. Just my leg." Diana said somewhat embarrassingly.

Isabella frowned, "I should have let you open the door just now. It's all my fault."

Luke then said, "If so, then it's my fault for coming at that time."

Then he stood up, "Let me take her to the hospital for a checkup."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Isabella didn't have time to think too much. Without even changing her clothes, she took Rachel along

with them to the hospital.

It was the same high-class private hospital.

It wasn't that Isabella wanted to go there, but because she had set up a VIP card and there they didn't

need to line up for so long.

She let Diana do a full body check-up. Luckily, she would be fine after a few days of rest, as there were

only a few injuries on her leg,

Sitting in the ward, Isabella finally relieved.

Luke came in with the patient list and smiled gently, "The doctor said that you can go home tomorrow if

you don't want to be hospitalised. However, I still suggest for you to stay here for two more days. Since

Isabella still need to work tomorrow and there is no one take care of you at home."

Diana immediately said, "It's okay. There's no need to spend money in hospital."

Isabella frowned, "No. There is no one at home, and I can't stand you scaring me again. You should

stay in hospital."

After tucking her in, Isabella dragged Luke out of the sickroom.

In the corridor, she turned her head to look at Luke holding Rachel and smiled guiltily, "I'm sorry, I

should have treated you to dinner. Sorry for the trouble."

Luke looked at her deeply for a while, and then said, "Isabella, can you please not be so courteous to

me? Luckily, I'm here, or how could you take your mom to the hospital only by yourself? "

Isabella unnaturally turned her face away. "Thank you so much, Luke."

Luke's gaze softened then. He said self-deprecatingly as he walked slowly: "I hope that you can need

me more like this in future, then I'll still have a chance to show off myself.

"…"

This time, Isabella became more embarrassed that she even touched her ears. She tried to think of a

response in her mind, "Um … Luke, I told you I will think about it …"
