Loveless Marriage

Chapter 20  “Surprise”

After signing his name, Christian calmly picked up his jacket and left.

He didn't even say a word from start to end.

Isabella could no longer hold back and cried bitterly in Diana’s embrace. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

If she wanted to keep the child, she would have to divorce. If she was still his wife, with only Christian’s

a word, the child may be aborted, so she planned a show with Luke and her mom to force him to

divorce.

But when he really signed his name on the settlement, Isabella felt so uncomfortable that all her organs

was seemingly in a mess.

Christian didn't know how he got down the stairs. On his way home, he met someone who was

smoking. He walked over and said: "Please sell me your lighter and cigarettes."

Seeing that it was a hundred dollars, the person immediately gave his cigarette case and lighter to

Christian.

Christian then lit one.

He didn't like its smell and may only smoke one when he had to in business. Now, however, he felt so

empty that he wanted to fill his heart with something.

Then he found the platinum ring on his finger when he raised his hand, and he pulled a velvet box out

of his pocket.

When he was in Singapore, he passed by a jewelry store which reminded him of the diamond ring he

bought for Isabella when they got married. She had been wearing it all the time.

Maybe he was trying to make up for her, Christian went into the store and customized a pair of rings.

He got them the second day, which were all platinum. He put on his after getting it, and sent another

one home in case of losing it on trip.

He was intended to give Isabella a pleasant surprise, but he never expected that before he could give

out the ring, Isabella not only returned her ring, bur also gave him such a bigger 'surprise'!

He had been busy with his own business for the past years. Although he was forced to marry Isabella,

he thought he had never mistreated her …

Thinking of what Isabella calmly said to him just now, Christian didn't know why but became more and

more angry. In the end, he took off the ring from his finger and threw it, along with the velvet box, into

the artificial lake.

Even if he was divorced, he was still the same Christian! Nothing would be changed.

For the sake of her baby, Isabella who started to have a healthy diet. Folic acid was a must, and she

completely gave up drinking and smoking. She also began to wear flatties. Sometimes she may work

overtime, but never too late.

As time passed, her growing belly began to be obvious, so she could only wear loose clothes every

day.

Isabella touched her round belly, feeling very worried.

If the baby was three-month-old, everyone in the company would know about it, and her boss wouldn’t

have her do such a high-intensity job. She was afraid that after she gave birth, her position would be

replaced by someone else.

At least she could earn tens of thousands a month right now. If she lost this job, the pressure on her

must be extremely great.

"Miss. Jones."

Seeing that a colleague was walking over, Isabella hurriedly put down her hand and smiled faintly:

"What is it?"

"Mr. Smith wants you in the conference room at 10 o'clock." Her colleague placed the documents on

Isabella's table, and then whispered: "It's said that people of the Polygon Group have come to visit, and

Mr. Smith has reserved the whole restaurant downstairs to serve them!"

The Polygon Group!

Isabella pursed her lips. It had been a month since she divorced Christian, right?
