Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 175

"What are you doing?"

Probably because she kept thing about what had happened previously, Isabella felt a little uncomfortable the moment he got close to her.

Christian wrapped his arms around her and his usual calm and collected appearance had completely disappeared now. Perhaps it was because he had drunk some alcohol, he was like a coquettish cat as he rubbed around her body, drunk and lazy.

Feeling her heart was warmed by his action, she obediently sat there without moving.

"It's dinner with the Perez's family."

A muffled sound came from the man buried in her neck, making it hard to tell his emotion. 

Isabella's face darkened when she heard his words, but she quickly teased, "Dinner with the Perez's family. Lexie and your mother should be there as well. You two will definitely get engaged."

It seemed like Mallory couldn't wait to get Lexie as her daughter-in-law. 

Christian didn't raise his head and instead hugged her tightly. He was so tired that he placed half of his body on her shoulders. "Carl is my father's friend for over ten years, so I have to save his face, and my mother's as well."

Hearing this, Isabella didn't say a word. 

After a while, a low voice came out from the room, "Isabella, if I agree, what will you do?"

The empty apartment had finally regained some warmth after she left for so many days.

Isabella smiled and taunted: "Of course I'll congratulate you. Miss Perez is young and beautiful, and she hasn't married before. So she is way better than me."

Hearing this, Christian's arm tightened.

Isabella was in so much pain that she took a deep breath and frowned. 

"Well, I didn't agree." Christian said. 

The taunting expression on Isabella's face stiffened as she patted his back and said: "What exactly do you want to say? If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."

He didn't agree. Was it because of her?

Isabella didn't dare to think of this, but she couldn't help it.

She then pushed him away, a little irritated. "Alright, I see that you're fine. It's already midnight, so I'll go back now."

Why did he become so childish after drinking some wine? He even needed her to coax him. 

Before she could get up, Christian tightly hugged her waist and muttered to her, "Isabella, I've already showed my attitude clearly to them. and I've also admitted to my mother that these two children are mine."

"..."

Isabella was surprised. She then smiled: "Your mother believes it?"

"It doesn't matter. I don't need anyone to believe it." Christian's voice was a little hoarse. There were some things that he couldn't speak out loud, but he still hoped that she could understand.

Isabella quietened down and looked down at him. She couldn't help but reach out to stroke his hair, and as her fingers moved about, she smiled softly, "Do you really fall in love with me?"

Christian let go of her hand and turned to pinch her lower jaw. His dark and burning eyes seemed to have some sort of enchantment tonight as he stared into her eyes, "Is it too late?"

"..."

Once again, a wave of turbulence was stirred up in her heart as Isabella's breathing sped up. However, she still looked at him and smiled calmly, "If I said it is too late, will you given up?"

As soon as she finished her words, he held her chin and kissed her.

But he soon let her go. Gently pinching her cheek, he smiled and said: "I've thought about it tonight and felt that the children should grow up with their own parents. Don't you think so?"

Isabella, "..."
