Loveless Marriage

Chapter 84 Catch Me If You Can

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 This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

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."

After that, she hung up with a smile. Thinking of his gloomy face, she immediately became delighted.

Yeah, it was true that he could find out her hotel, but could he even find out which company she was

going to visit? Of course not.

Seeing her smile brightly after she returned, Minh squinted his eyes and asked: "Miss Jones, What

makes you so happy?"

Hearing this, Isabella picked up her forks and said in a serious tone, "It's just a friend said that I'm

pretty… so what?"

John: "..."

Minh smiled, "Then this friend of yours…. may need to check her eyes.”

Isabella, “..."

...

Because she had successfully dissed Christian back, Isabella was in a good mood throughout the

whole afternoon. But soon, she was out of luck.

The last company they visited was so hospitable that its staff insisted on treating them to dinner.

Having no way to reject, Isabella had to accept it at the end.

When it was already dark, a group of people left for a large restaurant.

Even if she was really unwilling, Isabella still behaved politely.

Minh secretly nudged her, smiling, "What should we do? These middle-aged men can really make us

drunk."

Isabella frowned as she said seriously, “Trim the sails. Aren't you eloquent? Reject them as long as you

can. Don't think you can be reckless as you're still young and healthy now."

She had dealt with many troublesome clients before, but now she was pregnant. These people are all

men who could drink a lot.

"But what about you?" Minh couldn't help but worry.

Isabella feigned a relaxed smile, saying: "I'm the only woman here, would they even bully me? And

we're also their clients, so they should take care of us.”

"Miss Jones, please have a seat."

Someone called out for her to take her seat.

Isabella immediately smiled and walked over.

A manager politely pulled out a chair and smiled: “Miss Jones, here, please sit here."

His smile made Isabella feel disgusted, but considering the overall interests, she still sat down politely.

Seeing her sit down, the man was immediately overjoyed. He casually pulled out a chair next to her

and was about to sit down, when Minh squeezed through them and sat in that seat. He then smiled at

the man politely, "Mr. Faust, you are too courteous. Please have a seat."

Seeing this, Faust's expression instantly changed. He laughed dryly as he nodded, "It's what we should

do..."

John was on his left side while Minh was on his right side. Isabella suddenly felt warmed inside as she

looked at Minh gratefully.
