Loveless Marriage

"Of course, if you haven't taken any money, I can pay you first." He then put the clothes into her arms. Without even blinking his eyes, as he said, "Go and change. I'll help you take another look." Isabella didn't moved. Her eyes gradually grew cold as she looked at him, as if she was brewing some sort of emotion.

Christian then said indifferently: "If you still want to work, then listen to me. I don't think Mr. Smith would need a pregnant woman as his subordinate, wouldn't he?"

Isabella's face instantly darkened, whose aura became heavy.

He was threatening her!

But he was right. Although her company would pay maternity leave, it was only the base salary. Her family couldn't hold on for long due to her current situation without the bonus and the project commission.

Moreover, considering the workplace competition, if she left, there must be someone replacing her at any time.

She definitely couldn't lose her job now. After all, she still remembered what Diana had said at the hospital.

"Christian, if you let me lose my job, I'll kill you with my children."

Even though she said so, she still obediently went to the fitting room.

Without saying a word, Christian continued to choose clothes for her.

"Pack all these up."

"Sure, wait a moment." Looked at the handsome man in front of her, the saleswoman blushed a bit.

Isabella got changed and came out of the fitting room. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but admit that it indeed looked more fashionable and tasteful than the bargains she had bought. Before her father got arrested, she also liked to buy such clothes. With her own salary, she could afford quite a few famous brands. Of course, at that time she also wanted to dress herself pretty when she was with him, but he probably didn't even notice about it.

Then she saw the boxes the saleswoman had packed and asked, "These are all mine?"

Christian agreed as he sized her up.

"I still have a lot of clothes at my house, so I'll just need one or two." In front of the sales, she didn't want to embarrass herself, so she tried not to get angry. "Since we've came, we should buy enough. I won't have so much time in the future" Christian naturally took her wallet and handed over a credit card.

Isabella was startled, then she wanted to grab the card, "But I'll have time."

What did it matter if he had time or not? With so many clothes, she may be bankrupt.

Christian easily dodged her and gave the card to the sales, "You'd better not come alone. If you need anything, buy online."

Isabella's face turned ugly. Before she could refute him, she heard the sales said with envy, "Madam, your husband is not only handsome, but also considerate." "You've misunderstood. He's my brother." Did it called considerate to swipe her card?

Brother?

The saleswoman was embarrassed by her words. She laughed then dryly.

Christian's face instantly became a little awkward, but he didn't display it too overtly. After all, brother sounded more comfortable than ex-husband.

Then the saleswoman politely sent them off after she paid the bill. Isabella felt upset when she walked out.

She had just lost a month's wages.

But Christian didn't seem to see her expression at all. He then pulled her to a shoe store.

Seeing that, Isabella held onto her purse tightly and immediately refused, "Christian, have you done yet? I really don't need these stuff. Can you just stop?" He just didn't know how much she cared about the money now.

The man glanced at her bare white and tender ankles, frowning, "It's turning cold. No more such short socks."

Knowing that he wouldn't listen to her, she anxiously pulled him into a children's clothing store, "Don't you just want to buy clothes? Let's buy kids clothes."

Since he wanted to buy clothes anyway, she might prepare some for her babies in advance.

Christian frowned but didn't refuse.

In the children's wear store, they picked out clothes like a normal couple.

But most of them were chosen by Isabella. Christian followed her closely behind with a shopping cart. There wasn't much emotion on his face, but he didn't seem to be impatient at all. Seeing the various children's wear, Isabella felt like she had really become a mother. She gradually smiled gently, and completely forgot that there was an ex-husband who broke her heart behind her back. Christian gazed down at the side of her face, whose stiff face slowly softened.

The children, and her ... He had never thought about this before, partly because he was too busy at work, but also because she had been so obedient that she seemed to have no sense of presence in front of him. They once lived in two parallel worlds.

"Christian, look at this..." Isabella took a little toy and happily smiled at him. But right at this moment, she saw the gentleness inside his eyes that couldn't be retracted in time. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He had never looked at her in that way.

While she was still in a daze, Christian suddenly lowered his head and accurately kissed her lips.

This scene was clearly photographed by a mobile phone in distance.

There were three young sexy and fashionable women. Looking at the photo, the woman in the middle was sullen and jealous.

"Lexie, haven't they already got divorced? Why are they still...?"

The woman the middle was Lexie, who was shopping with her two friends. she didn't expect to meet Christian. Before she could went to greet him, she saw Isabella.

That b*tch was still pestering him since they had already got divorced. How shameless.

"Still what? She is just slut trying to seduce man all time!" Lexie clenched her teeth and cursed.

"But... Aren't they shopping the children's wear?" Another girl asked with confusion.

Lexie scoffed, "That's why she's so b*tch, for being a stepmother and seduce her ex-husband at the same time."

"Stepmother?" The girl rubbed her chin and said doubtfully, "She was wearing flat shoes and her clothes were so loose. I thought she was pregnant." Women knew well about women, especially these who were gossipy. They could tell whether Isabella was really pregnant with a glance.

Her word made Lexie's face changed, as she suddenly turned her head and asked, "She's pregnant?"

The two girls were stunned by her reaction. They then said carefully, "I was just guessing."

Lexie's expression suddenly becoming very terrifying. She said with a strange smile, "We'll know whether she is pregnant or not right away."

If she was really pregnant, she would not let her be at ease no matter whose the child was, let alone Christian's.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
