Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 138

On Monday morning, Isabella went to work with the wound on her forehead. Facing everyone's concern, she honestly replied, "I fell down by accident."

She did fall down. 

Minh, However, as if he was extremely frightened, ran to her office with a serious face. Staring at her lower abdomen, he asked blankly: "Are they still there?"

"…"

Looking at the young handsome face, she pulled a wry face: "If they're gone, can I still be here today? I'm fine, don't say such ominous things."

Minh's nervous appearance instantly relaxed. He gasped for breath and said, "Miss Jones, you almost scared me to death. Luckily you and the children are fine. But your face didn't look so pretty now."

Isabella glared at him, "Are you still joking at me? If I didn't break my face, I would've hurt my babies. You should be glad that I reacted quickly at that time."

Suddenly, Minh asked curiously, "Was Mr. Miller there yesterday as well?"

Isabella's expression stiffened. She unnaturally pretended to look at the files, "Why do you mention him?"

"Because every time you're in danger, he will always appear." Minh blinked his eyes, "I'm not a child who doesn't understand anything. In any case, you're single now, and I also heard he doesn't have any girlfriend. Since he's been so nice to you, if you two get together, I'll raise my hands in support!"

Looking at his smiling face, she smirked: "No girlfriend doesn't mean no wife. How do you know that he isn't married?"

"Ugh …" Minh was dazed for a moment, rubbed his chin and pondered: "Married? He is indeed not young anymore, but aren't you a friend of his? You should know whether he's married or not. I don't think he's the kind of guy who would have an affair and cheat on his wife. "

"…"

Isabella's temple jumped. What did he mean by 'have an affair and cheat on his wife'? Minh said as if she was in a hurry to be his mistress.

As expected, the people who didn't know the truth only believed in their own eyes. Minh was even like this, not to mention those who liked to gossip. In just half a day, such rumour would spread throughout the company.

She then said with a straight face, "I don't know if he's married. If you're that curious, you can go and ask him. Don't talk about this in company, and if you're lazy during working hours, be careful that I may deduct your salary. Now leave!"

Minh immediately grabbed the files and said, "Oh okay, I will leave immediately."

Suddenly, he stopped and turned around, saying: "Miss Jones, can I take a day off tomorrow?"

"A day off? Why?"

Wasn't today Monday?

He smiled faintly: "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday. I want to visit her."

Isabella stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then stuttered: "Oh, okay, do you need one more day…"

Then her voice suddenly became softer. After pausing for a few seconds, she walked over with a serious face and patted his shoulder, saying "I'm sorry … If you don't mind, you can talk to me, or the colleagues outside, don't hold back. Don’t you still have friends? You can also …"

She spoke faster and faster, while she felt even more depressed. She felt the same way as that night. 

"Miss Jones!" Minh suddenly interrupted her and looked deeply at her with a faint smile. “I’m fine. One day is totally enough.”

He then took her hand off his shoulder, nodding, and walked out. 

Isabella stood on the spot. A sense of uneasiness inexplicably started to surge out of her heart.
