Loveless Marriage

She suddenly lifted the quilt, her tone sounded angry, "If you're still mad at me, then go on. Babies and I are starving, and I'm going to eat."

Before she could left the bed, she was held down by Christian. He pulled the quilt back onto her, then stood up and said calmly, "Lie down, and I'll buy some for you." Isabella immediately stopped moving. She didn't have much strength, so it wasn't a good time to be stubborn.

She pulled the quilt up to her chest. Looking at the man who was about to leave, she said lightly, "I don't wanna soup or porridge. Buy me rice and pork."

Christian turned around and glanced at her. With a shallow smile on his face, he replied with a hint of tenderness: "okay, wait for me."

After confirming that he had left, Isabella let out a long sigh.

After turning on her phone, she suddenly hesitated. Should she call Minh or John?

Just she inputed the first dight of John's number, Minh called her.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she pressed down the answer button.

"Hi."

"Miss Jones, you're finally awake." Minh voice sounded overjoyed, "Are you feeling better now? John and I are going to visit later."

After stayed silent for a while, Isabella slowly said: "Did you two send me to hospital last night??

"Yes. you had a fever and fainted on the way back to the horel. John and I sent you there, and then Mr. Miller showed up. He told us to come back first. He would take care of you." Minh calmly told her the whole story.

Isabella frowned, lowering her voice, "You guys... has already known everything?"

"Miss Jones, don't worry. Mr. Miller has already told us about it. We won't tell anyone about it." Minh laughed. Suddenly he paused, then his voice became a little softer, saying: "Oh, John still don't about your pregnancy. The doctor told me first, I haven't told him yet."

As if she had already expected such result, Isabella directly said, "Sorry, Minh. I've been hiding this from you."

Minh smiled lightly, saying: "There is no need to apologise. You even told me that you've divorced, so what's so strange about pregnancy? I'm just a little surprised that the person I've been travelling with for so many days is pregnant. When the doctor told me that, I was really shocked. I even suspected if I heard it wrong, your figure really didn't look like a pregnant woman."

"However, you can hardly hide it in future. But Miss Jones, it's too dangerous for you. Next time if there is a business trip or something, let someone else go, or even me and John."

Hearing his exaggerated tone, she still felt warmed, saying: "Minh, thank you so much."

"No worries. I believe with Mr. Miller, you'll be okay."

Isabella face changed a bit, "last night, what did he...say?"

"He? Ah, you mean Mr. Miller! Miss Jones, speaking of this, I should blame you." Minh's tone suddenly turned a little upset, "You two are really friends. If you called him last night, then we didn't need to drink and you wouldn't be in hospital now!"

Hearing this. Isabella didn't know what to reply. She could only laugh dryly.

Christian probably didn't tell Minh their real relationship. Since he stated that they were friends, she just let them guess the rest freely. Otherwise, the more she explained, the more embarrassing the situation would be.

Thinking that Christian would be back soon, Isabella hung up the phone after informing Minh some working issues.

Throwing her phone to the side, she pulled up the quilt and lay down again.
