Loveless Marriage

Only breathing could be heard in the room. Isabella sat there and waited for a few minutes, holding her breath. But no one called back.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and turned off the phone, then lied down.

She didn't know if it was due to disappointment or something, but she didn't feel sleepy for a long time after she turned off the lights. Her hearing had also become more sharp even she could hear the sound of car horns outside.

Bastard!

After cursing him several times in her heart, she hugged Rachel in her arms and closed her eyes, forcing her to fall asleep.

When Diana saw her the next morning, she was stunned. "What happened to you? Didn't you sleep well last night? Was Rachel awake?"

Isabella lazily scratched her hair and shook her head, "She didn't wake u and I slept well ..."

If it wasn't for that bastard's last call, she would have slept very well last night.

He called her but said nothing for a long time, which made her wake up many times during the night. His face was always all over her head. Well, she admitted that she did care about him.

How could she forget a man she had loved for three years easily?

"Your eyes are so swollen that you dream of cutting your double eyelids?" Diana coldly exposed her.

Isabella choked, then ran back to her bedroom, "Rachel will wake up soon, I will help her get dressed."

After breakfast, she warmed her eyes and put on light makeup. She looked better then. Only then did she look better.

She looked at the time and was going to call Luke. Luke called her first.

"Hey, Luke, are you coming soon?"

"I'm sorry, Isabella." Luke apologized, "I didn't have time to tell you. I have some important thing to do and have already left the Brighton. I could only return in the afternoon. But don't worry, I have informed a babysitter to pick Rachel, so you can hand Rachel over to her later.

"Babysitter? I thought you didn't hire one."

Isabella was surprised.

She remembered that he said Rachel bit some babysitters before. So he didn't hire them any more, but could only keep Rachel with him at all times.

"It's the last one who asked for the leave. I asked her to take care of her for half a day."

Diana heard and frowned, before Isabella spoke. "That is not OK. Since she had asked for leave, how can we casually hand Rachel over to her? I have nothing to do at home, so let me take care of her,." Looking at Rachel, Isabella also agreed with her mother, "Let my mom take care of her. You can come in the afternoon and pick her up. Don't trouble the babysitter. If Rachel bit her again, It would be more troublesome!"

Luke was silent for a while, then asked in hesitation, "Is it okay? Since Rachel can't speak, it's not easy to look after her. "

Isabella suddenly remembered that Rachel had autism, people can not understand her, if she did not speak. She was afraid that her mother would not be able to take care of her alone, so she frowned and thought for a minute. "I'll take her to the company. I have an office there. She's okay with me, without crying or making a fuss. And you can just come and pick her up at my company in the afternoon."

"But..."

Afraid of his hesitation, Isabella smiled and said, "I am almost late. I'll clean up and go to work first. I'll talk to you later."

After hanging up the phone, she pinched Rachel's face and said with a smile. "Is it okay for you to stay with me?"

Diana looked at her worriedly, "If you take her there, won't the leader angry?"

"I will explain it to them later, otherwise, if I leave her at home, I would not be at ease. After putting Rachel's jacket on, Isabella said indifferently.

"How about yourself..." Diana glanced at her belly.

It meant that she took three children bu herself. If she fell, she would be scared to death.

Isabella was stunned. She rubbed her belly and looked up at her mother with a happy smile, "It's fine. I will be watchful."

At Benton Technology, her colleagues widened their eyes in shock when they saw she brought an pretty child.

"Isabella, is this your daughter?"

"So cute! Let me hug you."

"Mrs. Jones, do we need to give a red envelope?"

Isabella looked at the claws stretched out from them and said nothing for a few seconds. Then she picked up Rachel and protected her in arms, staring at them. "Don't scare her. She has autism and is afraid of strangers. Moreover, this is my friend's daughter. He has no time today. I'll take care of him for a while."

Everyone was stunned and soon recovered calm

"Isabella, if you don't have time, we can look after her for you." Someone snickered.

"I also have a lot of snacks. I'll give her all later."

"Come on, plwase don't harm child with your junk food. Isabella, I can watch cartoons with her."

"Isabella, "..." "Alright, thank you guys. But I advised you to not get close to her. I won't be responsible if she bites you."

What kind of subordinate was in her department that was so out of control and liked flattery?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
