Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 170

Christian raised his head and smiled warmly, "Are you worrying about me?"

"Worried about you? Do I have nothing else to do." Isabella coldly said. 

Christian pushed the peeled fish in front of her and gently said, "I'll let them seal the news and it will not spread around. Hand will stay in jail for a while." 

"Um, what else did you do?" Isabella asked. 

There was no clear evidence yet. At most, he would be detained for a few days, but if he were to look for some friends helping him later, he would probably be out in three days.

"He had stolen a lot of public funds from the company in the past few years, and also took a lot of bribes using his power. I already had someone investigate, so I transferred him here from the headquarters. At first, the evidence isn't so enough, but this time he just hit the muzzle. He should be enough to sentence more than 10 years."

Isabella looked at him, dumbstruck.

Feeling her look quite adorable, Christian then asked as his gaze becoming more gentle, "What's wrong?"

She calmed down and teased herself: "I wanted to be grateful, but it seems that you've used me to your advantage. To get rid of a big problem."

Christian's handsome face gradually darkened. Looking at her seriously, he said: "I never thought of using you, and am also not happy about what happened last night. If something had happened to you, I'd have killed him."

"…"

Isabella's pretty face slowly froze.

He always had a serious look when he was talking. Although she was already used to it, this occasional confession still made her feel touched. 

She was slightly lost in thought.

However, the silence was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing.

He picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. "Hello?"

Not knowing what was said on the other side of the phone, Isabella could clearly see that his face had become gloomy.

"Where?"

"…"

"Alright, I'll be there right away."

Isabella's eyelashes twitched, she lowered her eyes and continued to eat.  

Christian hung up, frowned, and calmly said, "Sorry, my mom's asthma suddenly broke, and I need to home now. I'll let Canon send you home later. 

"No worries, I'll take a taxi." Isabella said lightly. 

Although there was no change on his facial expression, she could feel that he was still worried.

Christian picked up his coat and gently said: "Canon will be here right in time."

Isabella frowned in dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to say something, her mouth was shut by a kiss, "I...woo..."

It was only a light kiss, then he caressed her head as if she was his lovely pet. "I'm leaving now."

The entire process took only a few seconds. Before Isabella could see him clearly, Christian had already stridden away, leaving her with a face as hot as fire.
