Loveless Marriage
Chapter 35  Love is A Thing That Can Not Be Forced.

"But she really likes you." Before Isabella could reply, the man looked up at her and chuckled.

She was stunned and felt weird immediately. "I like her too, and I hope she can be like a normal child. If my help is useful, I'm willing to spend more time with her." She turned around to look at Rachel, pretending that she got nothing behind his words.

"Thank you, Isabella, ." The man looked at her in deep eyes.

Isabella laughed stiffly, "Luke, don't say that. You have helped me a lot, of course I should take care of Rachel. And also, I hope she will be alright, sincerely."

Nothing was more important than Rachel. No matter what their relationship is, she could not ignore Rachel.

Luke looked at her and was about to speak, but finally said nothing. He only smiled to Isabella.

They chatted for a while again. Feeling that it was a little late, the man got up, "Then I'll go back with Rachel. You should have a rest early."

Isabella nodded and stood up, "Okay, I'll send you off."

"Rachel, we gotta go." Luke smiled and looked at the little girl on the ground.

Rachel was focusing on the painting book. Only after the man called her a few times did she raise her head to look at him. After a few seconds, she blinked her big eyes and shook her head slowly. Luke was stunned, "What? You don't want to leave?"

Rachel looked at him, then turned to look at Isabella, and nodded slightly.

Luke felt funny and walked over to pick her up, "But it's too late. We should go home and let auntie rest. We'll come in another day, okay?"

Rachel shook her head and became sad. Then, she grabbed Isabella's sleeve with her small hands, with her lips pouting slowly.

"No no no ..." The man felt a bit helpless. "If you want to read this panting book, we can take the book and read it on our way home." He rubbed her head and said softly.

"Auntie will give it to you, ok?" Isabella smiled and pinched her cheek.

Luke nodded at her, "Don't send us off. Have an early rest."

Isabella sent them to the door, then looked at the Rachel that laid on Luke's shoulder. When she was about to wave at her, Rachel started crying suddenly.

She was startled, "Luke."

Luke turned his face and saw Rachel's crying face. He frowned, " Rachel, what's the matter?"

She kept silent and no one knew what was wrong with her.

Isabella saw that Rachel was crying with holding her sound back. She felt hurt and walked over to hold Rachel in her own arms and said: "She can stay, I'll take care of her tonight." "No way! You're pregnant and still have to work tomorrow. I can't let her bother you."

Isabella patted Rachel's back lightly and smiled at him. "Don't worry. If I can't do it. My mother definitely can. She's more experienced than us."

Luke rubbed between his eyebrows and said speechless. "She..."

"D" Isabella raised her eyebrows and joked, "You wouldn't be jealous to me, right? Let her stay here for one night and I'll return her to you tomorrow morning. "

If she were Luke, she would not let Rachel be away. After all, they stayed together every day.

Luke felt funny about her words. "If you like, you can help me watch over her every day."

"Well, I'll trouble you tonight. I'll pick her up at work tomorrow morning.

"Ok." Isabella nodded.

"Please call me, If she keeps crying,."

"No problem."

They talked for a while, then Luke left alone.

Isabella's mother was very happy for Rachel's stay. It was more lively inside the house. She did not too much, but Isabella could understand her expression.

When she came out from the bathroom after finishing washing up, Rachel had already fallen asleep in Isabella's mother embrace.

"See, how cute she is. But she couldn't speak makes my feel sad."

"She's still young, and she'll be fine." Wearing her pajamas, Isabella stood beside the sofa and looked at Rachel. It seemed that she was thinking of something as she mumbled.

"Maybe you could consider Luke." Isabella's mother raised her head, looked at her, and said seriously, "he a good man who is gentle and considerate, and know how to keep balance between family and his career."

"Mom, I'm considering, but love is a thing that can not be forced. Please don't interfere anymore." Isabella went silent for a moment, then she put her clothes tightly and sat down, leaning on her shoulder and saying softly.

Diana's face stiffened, she curled her lips immediately in guilt, "I didn't interfere anything but inviting them to come over for a meal! They've helped us a lot, so how can it be enough to just say thanks? What's more, love can be cultivated. You don't hate him, and he seems to like you.'

For now, she felt that Luke was the most suitable candidate.

Isabella raised her head and looked at her without expression, "Christian and I had been developed for three years without any results. He doesn't hate me and I like him very much. Haven't we reached this point yet? If I divorce again, your daughter will get married three times."

Diana was choked and speechless.

Afraid that she would think of too much while she was at home, Isabella didn't say anything more and ask her sleep early, and went to the bedroom with Rachel.

After sending Luke a message, she was about to turn off the phone and go to sleep, a phone call came in suddenly. Afraid that it would wake Rachel up, she answered the call immediately without seeing who i

was.

"Hello."

"Haven't slept yet?"

"You? What's wrong?" Isabella's face changed when she Heard the familiar voice,

It had been about a month since they met in the court last time, and she thought he had figured everything out and would never contac(Christiant her again.

"Are you inconvenient?" Hearing her low voice, frowned.

Isabella sat up, tucked in the corner of Rachel's blanket and said softly, "It's fine. just say it. I am going to sleep. It's too late."

Her words made Christian imagined a lot immediately.

She was about to go to sleep, but there was someone else. She spoke in a low voice because she didn't want to wake him up. If that person had fell asleep, didi they stay in one room?

He didn't know why so many guesses had popped out, but he knew very well that his mood was suddenly disordered at this time. His chest was like having been stabbed, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Christian, are you still there? What's the matter with you?" Isabella frowned when she saw that there was no reply there. She thought it was a signal problem and looked down at the screen. There was nothing abnormal.

"Christian..."

After she called him the second time, the phone was suddenly hung up.

She was stunned and stared at her phone for a long time confusedly.

Did he call a wrong number?
