Loveless Marriage

Christian face changed a bit when he saw Isabella, as if he was also a bit surprised by her presence. But shortly after he walked over to greet the other two, like he didn't know her. Mr. Smith immediately stood up, "Mr. Miller."

Shawn sat without moving, but only laughed, "I just said that if you were late, you would have to drink more wine as punishment. Then you arrived right on time, but you still have to drink some." Christian sat at the opposite of Isabella and casually smiled, "I still need to drive later, so I might just have some tea."

Shawn shook his head, "That's not interesting at all. We rarely gathered together, so it's worth drinking. I even heard that the filiale of Polygon in Brighton was located right across from Benton. Such a huge destiny is not something that one glass of wine can finish."

"Yes, Yes." Mr. Smith smiled and nodded, he then personally poured tea for Christian.

The moment Isabella saw him, she became absent-minded with her head down. No one knew what she was wondering.

Shawn glanced at her and laughed, "What's wrong, Miss Jones? You can tell jokes with me, but when Christian showed up, you can't even talk anymore?

Isabella raised her eyes subconsciously, and instantly met the handsome face of Christian. Her heart went into chaos, then she shifted her gaze away and smiled, "It's normal, right? I didn't have too many chances to sit with people like you guys before."

She didn't even dare to think about it as a small manager.

After knowing that Christian was Polygon's CEO, she was curious once a while. Other than his handsome face, he usually didn't talk much. How did he manage such a large companu?

She had really known little about him before.

Christian smiled at her suddenly, "Same here, I wouldn't even know Miss Jones if it not for Mr. Smith."

With her expression stiffened, Isabella became embarrassed for a moment.

His real meaning was that if it Mr. Smith didn't bring her along, there was no way someone like she could sit here with them.

Is he humiliating her?

She then forced out a smile, and said, "Indeed, I should thank Mr. Smith. Without him, I might not have been able to see Mr. Miller."

Her real meaning was that if she had known that Christian would come, she would never show up.

Mr. Smith, who was mentioned a few times, looked at them with an inexplicable expression. He could only smile awkwardly.

Looking at Isabella, Christian pursed his lips without saying a word.

Shawn glanced at them, whose expression reveal nothing, but he said in a strange tone, "I have known Christian for a few years and heard that Brighton is his hometown, so I invited him over today. I didn't know that Miss Jones knows him as well."

Isabella laughed lightly, "Yes, I've met him before... just a few times. "

She purposely emphasized it on 'just a few times', thinking that she may anger him a bit. But the man just spat out a few words, "I don't remember it at all."

Isabella, "..."

This b*stard!

They talked about business, future development in Brighton, and the cooperation with Benton that Isabella most looked forward to. But when she saw Christian today, all her passion for work had gone, so she didn't pay attention to what they talked about.

Afterward, the Mr. Smith suddenly looked at her and said, "Miss Jones' husband seems also to be a investor in Leeds."

Suddenly, everyone looked at her.

Isabella was so frightened that her nerves was seemingly pricked.

Shawn was a little surprised, "You're already married? Miss Jones, you are still very young and doesn't look like that."

Isabella glanced at Christian opposite her with a stiff smile and said: "I married a few years ago, at that time I was too young to considered well before got married."

Too young to consider it well?

Christian's face tensed up slightly as he stared at her.

If her father hadn't come to his home, then why would his father forced him to marry her? Things wouldn't have turned out to be like this.

However... If he hadn't married her, he wouldn't have discovered that...

Shawn was amused by her, "Seems like you and your husband love each other very much. It surprised me that you would say such words as if you have been married for long. Being able to balance work and family, your husband should be very outstanding. Since he is also in the Leeds, probably I even know who he is. Can you tell me his name, if you don't mind?"

Isabella's heart skipped a beat, then said embarrassingly: "No, he's just doing some small businesses. Nothing like you guys at all."

Christian saw the way she tried to hide it, and in his heart a trace of anger welled up. If they didn't get a divorce, she just wanted to hide it for the rest of her life?

In his desperation, he had completely forgotten how their marriage was like before. What the hell was the rest of her life? The agreement said their marriage only lasted four years, and he had never admitted she as his wife in Polygon.

Christian felt that he was like her lover who couldn't be known by others, and he then coldly looked at her, "Miss Jones is too modest. If he can do venture capital activity in Leeds for so long, he must not be that simple, right? Tell us his name, and I hope I'll get to know him in the future."

Isabella would have smashed the cup to his face If she was not calm enough, s

What was this a*shole want to do?

Did he want her to tell the world the name of her ex-husband that much?

Being silent for a second, Isabella raised her head and smiled lightly: "Although I want to say his name, he has nothing to do with me right now. I had divorced with him so it's not so good to reveal such private thing."

"Divorced..." Mr. Smith was startled, then suddenly recalled her borrowing money previously. He said in embarrassment: "Isabella, I'm really sorry."

Isabella didn't mind it at all, "Mr. Smith, it's okay. It's not a big deal, so I didn't intend to tell you."

However, Shawn did not look embarrassed at all, who even said naturally, "Miss Jones has handled this kind of things so cleanly, which makes me admire you even more. I believe you will meet somethe better since you're so young and pretty."

"Thank you, Mr. Simons, for your blessings. I also believe that." Isabella thought he was just being polite and so she only replied plainly. But her eyes looked at Christian opposite her all time.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
