Loveless Marriage

When they arrived at Leeds, it was already dusk. Three of them immediately put down their luggage in the hotel and went to a restaurant across the street for dinner.

Not knowing that Isabella was pregnant, Minh and John ordered dishes according to their own preferences.

Looking at the tasty yet spicy dishes in front of her, Isabella swallowed her saliva.

Ever since she was pregnant, she hadn't had food with such taste for a long time, only for the sake of her children.

Right now, this table of dishes was really a challenge.

"Miss Jones, you won't need to drive later. Do you want to have a drink?" Although Minh hadn't stayed with her for long, after knowing her personality well, he was way bolder than the other subordinates. He would even joke with her freely.

Isabella shook her head, "I'll still need to work for tomorrow. You two can drink."

After that, she impatiently started to eat. Although she was already drooling, she hided it well enough ...

John also laughed: "Okay then, Miss Jones. Have some more."

Minh ordered a bottle of wine, and drank with John.

Although she tried to be graceful, her action still caught Minh's attention.

"Miss Jones, the dishes here really suits your taste very well, hun?"

Having been too focused on eating, Isabella was shocked by his words and became clear-headed. She put down her chopsticks and laughed dryly: "Maybe the flight was too long and I'm hungry, but the taste is indeed good."

How could it be just good? It was simply wonderful. She had missed the spicy and sour taste for a long time.

Minh smiled, and placed a few dishes in front of him to her face, "Then have more. if these are not enough, we can add some."

Add?

Hearing this, Isabella looked around weirdly. She immediately forced a smile on her face, saying, "There is no need. I'm almost full. You guys should have more, or there will be leftovers."

She despised herself at the same time. How could she forget about everything while she was eating? Previously, she would especially order light food and said that she wanted to lose weight. The young man was so smart that if she were to continue eating like that, he would definitely find out.

Afraid that they would say anything else, she got up and said, "You guys eat first. I'll go to the restroom."

However, she didn't know that after she left, her two subordinates started to gossiped about her.

John laughed, and said casually: "She must be eating well recently, as I feel like she has gained some weight." Minh; "..."

He wanted to say: "Yes, great minds think alike." But he stopped at the second thought, and said: "Was she think before?"

Knowing that Minh had just come to the company not long ago, he took a sip of his wine and said rather proudly, "Miss Jones is famous for her beauty in our company, who had both slender figure and pretty face. She also has the best working capability, and is also very nice to we subordinates."

Then, he pretended to be regretful as he shook his head, "Unfortunately, I came too late, and she has already been married."

Minh patted his shoulder and laughed: "Forget it. She is impossible for you. But she's only two or three years older than us. Isn't it too early to get married? Have you ever seen her husband?"

John was startled. After pondering for two seconds, he shook his head. "No. I've been her assistant for over a year, but I've never seen him. It seemed that he never comes to the company for her. I just occasionally hear she answer a few private calls, but it seemed not her husband since her attitude was very indifferent ...'

"Moreover..." Hesitating for a few seconds, he looked at the restroom, then turned to Minh and whispered: "There are some rumours that she's already divorced. But I'm not so sure. I really don't know what kind of man she would like, since she is so outstanding."

"Divorced..." Minh's eyes flashed extremely quickly, and then he muttered.

After dinner, the three went back to their rooms in the hotel respectively.

Isabella sat on bed in her pyjamas with her legs crossed while working on her laptop.

After a while, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Startled for a second, she then walked to the door. Seeing it was Minh, she opened the door.

"Do you need any help, Minh?"

"Are you free now? I have a few issues about work.

Seeing that he was holding a laptop, Isabella smiled and nodded, "Come in."

"Have a seat, I'll get you water."

After bringing out the water, Minh had already sat on the sofa and turned on his laptop.

"What issues?" Isabella then sat beside him with her gaze landed on the screen.

Minh pointed the screen at her, saying, "The data here isn't right. I don't know what's wrong with it."

"Okay, I'll have a look." Isabella then started to seriously check for him.

The room went silent.

Holding a cup of water, Minh sat by her side. He seemed to look at the screen, but the corner of his eye was completely focused on the Isabella's charming side profile.

She was in a thick pyjamas, so it was impossible to see her figure. But her slender fingers as well as her fair little face were enough attractive.

He quickly retracted his gaze and said with a casual tone: "Miss Jones, I heard that you've divorced recently."

Hearing that, Isabella's fingers that were tapping on the keyboard suddenly paused, then she indifferently replied: "Yeah."

She didn't care at all about what others think. But since someone had asked her, she wouldn't hide it either.

"But why?" He blinked and asked curiously yet innocently, "You're such a wonderful woman. Would there even be a man dislike you?"

Isabella's continued without stopping tapping: "You are a man. If there are two women. One is excellent, and the other is someone you love, which one would you choose?"

"I ..." Minh choked.

Isabella only considered him as a young man who hadn't gone through many relationships. She laughed, "Relationship can never be judged by objective consciousness. Whether I'm outstanding or not has nothing to do with a man. Therefore, you can't judge who is right or wrong by a divorce from the surface. Only by personal experience one can really understand.

Minh frowned, and then said in a puzzled tone: "Then do you mean that he dislikes you? Has he cheated? If he likes you, and you're so outstanding, how could he be willing to divorce?"

Isabella finally stopped tapping. She turned to look at him, and explained, "He didn't cheat on me. We felt we weren't right for each other, so we divorced. Why not give up early instead of wasting my life, right? Ah, innocent kid. I think you should get a girlfriend and gain experience. "☐☐☐☐☐☐
