Loveless Marriage

It was a little late, so they went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

"Mom, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. Take care of yourself." Isabella glanced at Diana.

"Business trip?" Diana's expression changed, then she said without thinking, "Don't go, or I'll go to Leeds with you."

Her daughter was more far important than work. Did she want to scare her by running around while she was pregnant? Isabella: "..."

"I can't."

Diana picked up a piece of meat for Rachel, then said coldly, "Then, buy me a ticket as well."

Isabella held her forehead, feeling a bit headache, "It's a business trip. Why are you going with me?" "Do you even think I want to? If you aren't pregnant, I would have already traveled with a tour group."

Isabella really wanted to rolled her eyes, as Diana wouldn't even dare to leave Brighton alone.

Knowing that she was worried, Isabella explained, "I won't be alone as there are also two assistants with me. It's just a few days, and I won't do many things. I'll call you at any time and report my whereabouts, okay?"

Diana frowned, whose attitude was very resolute, "No, the assistants don't know about your pregnancy, so they have no idea how to take care of you. What if anything happens?"

Isabella ruffled her hair, helplessly put down her chopsticks and said: "Then, what will my boss think of me if I take you? How can I explain this to him?"

"That's easy. Just say that I want to visit Leeds so you take me along. I won't always follow you."

п

Isabella truly didn't know how to refute her. She gloomily glared at her.

Having been silent for a long time, Luke suddenly burst out laughing.

As Isabella was busy arguing with Diana, she suddenly remembered that Luke was also at the side. She smiled at him and shook her head helplessly.

Luke looked at Diana and said: "Mrs. Jones, there is nothing to worry about. I can go to Leeds at anytime, and nothing will happen."

Diana immediately shook her head, "How can I trouble you that way? You need to work as well."

"It's okay. My job is to travel to many places. I can stop by Leeds to see her, and come home on the night."

Diana looked at him, feeling slightly shaken inside. "Really? Would it be too troublesome for you?"

Luke lowered his head to wipe Rachel's mouth, then he looked at Isabella, smiling slightly, "How could it be? She is pregnant now and I'm worried too. I shouldn't stand by side."

Isabella awkwardly smiled, started to eat again with her head lowered, pretending to have heard nothing.

She would naturally not trouble Luke, but the first thing now was to convince Diana. She may talk with him later privately.

Looking at Isabella hesitantly, Diana then nodded her head as if she didn't feel that it was a burden for him at all, "Okay, it should be fine. If you go, I'll be more at ease as long as she is not alone." Hearing that, Isabella muttered in her heart: "Sure enough, what others said is way better than her own daughter did."

Luke looked at her with a gaze that said he had settled the matter.

Isabella also gave him a grateful look.

As they had almost finished their meal, Isabella's phone suddenly rang.

She hurriedly took out her phone. When she saw the name on the screen, her expression froze.

Diana glanced at her, "Who's calling at this hour? Doesn't he know we are having dinner?"

Isabella's face became a bit indifferent, "You guys eat first and I'll take this call. It might from the company."

Then she quickly got up and walked out. When the ring was about to stop, she picked it up.

"Hi, mom, hum, auntie."

The call was from Christian's mother, her former mother-in-law. Since Mallory had seldom contact her, she forgot to change her note on her phone.

But why she suddenly called her?

Did she press the wrong button?

"Isabella?" It was a middle-aged woman's voice on the other side. She wanted to confirm.

"Yes, it's me."

"Where are you tight now?" Mallory's voice didn't sound happy or angry. But she seemed peaceful now.

Isabella was startled, then asked calmly: "Auntie, what's going on?"

"I have something to talk to you. Where are you? I want to see you."

Want to see her all of a sudden? She had divorced Christian for so long, why did she even want to see her for no reason?

Isabella's gaze turned deeper as a sharp glint of light suddenly flashed across her eyes.

Was it because of what she was once worried about? Had she already known something?

Christian had promised her that he wouldn't tell anyone.

Clutching her phone, she chuckled, "Auntie, it might not be a good time, as I'm still outside now. If you have any urgent matters, please tell me on phone." "Outside? Why are you still outside this late?" Mallory seemed a bit surprised, then quickly said: "Where are you right now. I can go for you."

Isabella interrupted her with a bland voice, "Auntie, if you are not in a rush, I'll hang up first. Maybe we can talk some other day." "Hum, Isab..."

Without letting her refute, Isabella immediately hung up, and her face slowly became cold.

Why did Mallory suddenly want to see her? If she hadn't know something, she would never call her.

She just wanted to make sure if she was really pregnant.

Pondering for a moment, she quickly dialled a number. Then she hesitated for a few seconds and then hung up.

"Forget it, since I'm going to Leeds tomorrow anyway." She thought.

Then she returned to the restaurant.
