Loveless Marriage

Chapter 23  Swimming

The eleventh floor was like another world. Its walls were covered with expensive oil paintings, and even

the suite was excellent. Behind the large French windows, there was a view of the endless sea.

Luke ran into a business partner on the cruise, who kept inviting him over for a chat.

Having no choice, he had to ask Isabella to babysit Rachel.

Isabella laughed: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

She then brought Rachel to hang around in the cruise ship.

The restaurant was very big which served delicacies from almost all countries. After being pregnant for

two months, Isabella became especially into sour food. She even had that sour Spanish soup a few

bowls in a row.

Just then, Rachel pulled Isabella's clothes.

"What?" Isabella asked, following Rachel’s gaze, she saw a few little guys in swimsuits coming into the

dining room. It seemed that they were going swimming after meal.

Isabella laughed: "Do you want to go swimming?"

With great desire, Rachel nodded.

Isabella asked the staff where the swimming pool was, and packed herself a box of sour plum cake

before they left.

The huge swimming pool was open-air, which was on the deck. There were many kids playing around.

Isabella was afraid that Rachel didn't know how to swim so she prepared her a swim ring.

Unexpectedly, Rachel jumped into the water and floated out again after a few seconds. She them

smiled Isabella sweetly.

Seeing that, Isabella allowed her to swim as she wanted. Then she sat on a beach chair and started to

eat the sour plum cake that she had packed, feeling very comfortable.

Gradually, many beauties in all kinds of swimsuits also came to swim, showing off their great figure.

Looking at them, then at her arms and thighs which were getting fat, especially her round belly, Isabella

became more upset.

If she was to be out of shape due to pregnancy, would she look a few years older after the baby was

born?

Isabella grumbled as she stuffed the cake into her mouth. Vaguely, she heard a familiar female voice. It

seemed to be Christian's special assistant, Lexie.

Looking towards the direction of the voice, Isabella saw Lexie was holding and swaying a man's arm on

a bench chair.

"Mr. Yates, Please consider the development case in the western suburb, will you? "

"Okay, I'll consider it."

The forty-year-old man kneaded Lexie's chubby buttlock flap, while Lexie just pretending to reject

before letting him do what he want. They even kissed.

Isabella:"..."

After making sure that they didn't noticed herself, Isabella made a phone video of them. She felt

annoyed for Christian's clumsy taste of women for some reason.

She once thought Christian had found a good girlfriend, who turned out to be a courtesan!

Without noticing Isabella who spied on them, they flirted for a while before leaving. She then released

Christian from the blacklist and was about to send him the video.

But she hesitated when she was to send it.

No matter what, she had already divorced with Christian. Would he say that she was too nosy if she

sent this video over?

Send it or not?

Just when Isabella was still hesitating, she saw Christian, changed into a casual attire, walking towards

her now with large strides.

Isabella closed her phone and lied down, pretending to read a magazine.

After Coming over, Christian directly sat down besides her with his hands crossed slightly, asking:

"Where's Luke?"

"Busy with his business."

Hearing that, Christian frowned: "He left you here alone?"

Isabella felt so puzzled. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Why couldn’t she see him when they were still married? And why did she see him every few days after

the divorce?

"I'm lying here as I'm comfortable." Isabella said coldly, "He's way better than someone who only came

home once a week!"

Hearing that, Christian's face darkened. Looking down, he saw her clothes which had been lifted by her

belly. His eyes was full of doubt and suspicion, with no effort to repress them.

After he left the washroom that day, he felt that something was wrong.

They had only been divorced for less than two months, so Isabella shouldn't have a relationship with

Luke in such a short time. Also, pregnancy was not a easy thing, and he reckoned the child was his at

a great possibility!

Feeling that even his eyes were burning hot, she covered her belly with her hands.

Did he figure out something?

Christian then asked casually: "When did you move in with Luke?"

"After we divorced."

"After we divorced?" Christian frowned: "Then when did you find out your pregnancy?"

Isabella's smile was somewhat frozen.

He had dominated the conversation from the start, leading her into the trap.

But Isabella was not that stupid. She calmly said: "This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Miller. After all,

we are not that close."

"Isabella, how long exactly have you been pregnant?" Christian was impatient.

"Mr. Miller, this is not interesting." Isabella said, "You asked me before in the washroom and I’ve told

you. But now you are asking again, aren't you bored? I still clearly remember those terms in our

contract. "

Staring at her, Christian became silent.

Yes, he said that he didn’t want any children within four years, as he was afraid it would be a burden

when they divorce. But he never said that he wouldn't be responsible for the baby if Isabella got

pregnant.

Deep from his heart, he actually hoped that the child was his. Although he said they should not bother

each other after the divorce, he became even more agitated during these days.

Especially when he returned to their previous apartment, where there were not a single trace of her

makeup, clothes, or even a single trace of life. He felt so empty.

He felt even more irritated when she mentioned Luke from time to time.

"Mr. Miller, I'm sorry, but I'll leave first." After all, Christian was very good at business negotiating. She

was afraid that if she said a few more things, her secret might be exposed, so she found an excuse to

leave.

When Luke returned at around 8 pm, Isabella went for another meal with him.

She didn't know why, but she became hungry very easily after getting pregnant. She often had several

meals a day, and may even get up at midnight to look for food.

Luke didn’t have much appetite as he drank some in the afternoon, so he just watched Isabella and

Rachel eating.
