Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 161

Without any hesitation, she was certain of her thought. Maybe it was because she was used to what he was like now, and became a little unfamiliar with his previously taciturn personality.

She lowered her head and began to wonder when he'd started to change. It was still fine when she got home, whereas from the moment she met his gaze at the bedroom door, it became a bit different. He seemed to...have just come out of Tristan's room at that time. 

What did her father tell him..."

Women were indeed sensitive creatures, and Isabella felt it quite deeply now. The more she avoid herself to think about it, the eager she wanted to know what had happened. 

She pinched her fingers together and turned her head to look outside the window, while she kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eyes.

Finally, Christian spoke out and broke the deathly silence, whose voice was extremely calm: "When did you see me for the first time?"

Isabella's body trembled. She hadn't expected that after such a long silence the first thing he said would be this. 

She then said in an indifferent and perfunctory manner, "I can't really remember. It's been too long."

"You've liked me all time?"

His words made Isabella's face immediately flushed, who then stared at Christian in disbelief.

Even though she knew that he was quite straightforward about relationship or marriage, but there is no need to speak such thing out loud, right? If he wasn't a serious person, she would definitely call him narcissistic.

However, she seemed to have understood something immediately. With a flushed face, she said in awkwardly, "Were you talking about this with my dad just now?"

Her father probably told him all these things. 

Her reaction made Christian confirm his thought. As if he felt a bit satisfied, he smiled with his tone clearly lightened up a bit, "Otherwise, what do you think we may talk about? When we got divorced, he was just put in jail without the last chance to see me, so naturally he had a lot things to tell me." 

Feeling even more embarrassed, Isabella even had the courage to jump off the car. Then she said coldly: "How trustworthy do you think his words are, based on what he did before ?

Taking a deep breath, she continued: "Even if... Even if I liked you before, now I'm not. Why do you think I divorced you?"

Christian's face darkened in an instant as he tightly gripped the steering wheel.

Both of them became silent again.

Feeling upset and disappointed, Christian asked her with a hoarse voice, "Then...you're having a hard time in these three years?"

When they got married, she signed the prenuptial agreement without any hesitation, and tried her best to keep all her thoughts in secret for three years. If she wasn't utterly disappointed, she probably wouldn't show him the divorce agreement. 

His emotional abuse made her give up at the end. 

Thus, after he knew the truth, he even felt relieved for her to ask for a divorce. However, he still felt 

Isabella forced a smile and coldly said: "I've forgot it. no matter how much you loved a person before, if you didn't have the chance to tell him your feelings, there would be no point of that at all."

Hearing this, Christian became silent again and no long spoke. 

Neither did Isabella. They now seemed to be in two different spaces, who didn't even look at each other. 

...

In a private room of the KTV downstairs the Benton. 

Lexie rushed in the room and was about to slap the man on face. 

But her hand was stopped halfway by him. 

Being raged, Lexie wanted to kicked him again.

This time the man didn't dodge and took a firm kick to his leg. He then shook off her hand with a cold face. 

"So this is the good news you give me?" Lexie asked angrily. 

With his hands in pocket, the man said coldly: "Miller suddenly came back last night. If anything happened to her at that time, each of us would be in trouble. I just don't wanna be implicated by your stupidity. "

"So what? He won't be able to find any evidence if he was suspicious. But since you've just wasted a chance, how can we possibly hurt her again?" Lexie angrily shouted. 

Last night, she was almost successful. If she'd handed Isabella to Jafari, that woman's reputation would definitely be ruined today. Also, with her father, even if Christian got angry, he couldn't do anything to her. 

But just because of Minh, all of her efforts had been in vain. Christian was so smart, so he must have found something out. 

Minh sneered, looking at Lexie as if she was an idiot, "I have never seen a stupid woman like you. Now I really doubt my intelligence, and I shouldn't have cooperated with you back then."
