Chapter 608
“Mom, are you feeling better now? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?” I carried a bowl of
soup to the bed and cooled it down before passing it to Isabelle.
“There’s no need for that. It’s just a mild illness.” Frowning, Isabelle shook her head and took a sip of
the soup.
“Do you want to try a candied fruit?” I handed some snacks to her.
Isabelle waved her hand at me. Then, she held her breath and drank all the soup. She retched as soon
as she turned around. The soup tasted terrible, but it was good for health. I patted her back lightly
before wiping her face with a warm towel.
A momentter, Mom finally recollected herself. Shey down on the bed, saying nothing. Her face was
ghastly pale, and her gaze turned nk as she stared at the ceiling in a daze. After pondering for a
second, I asked softly, “Mom, are you having a fight with Dad? Can you tell me what happened?”
“It’s just a mild conflict,” Mom answered my question calmly, but her expression turned even grimmer.
“Are you sure? Mom, I’m your daughter. You can tell me everything. Are you hiding something from
me? Tell me, please? I can help you.” I pushed her arm lightly.
Isabelle turned around and stared at me. Her gaze was calm, and she did not even blink. She shook
her head after some time and said, “Nothing. I’m feeling a little tired. You go on with your thing. I need
to take some rest before attending an important social event tonight.”
“What? You still n to go out when you’re already sick? Can’t you skip it? I can attend the event for
you if it’s really that important.” I tried to stop her.
“No. I have to go. I have to attend it personally.” Isabelle shed me a warm smile. “Thank you. I know
you’re trying to help me, but I’ll be fine once I get some sleep.”
I finished cooking and ced all the food on the dining table. There were plenty of dishes, but all of
them tasted ordinary. I had not been cooking for some time, so my culinary skills had dropped. After
moving to the Lane residence, I had lost almost all of my skills since I did not have to do anything on
my own.
It tasted awful when I took a bite of the caramelized pork, so I thought of ordering some takeaways for
Christopher. Right then, I heard someone unlocking the door. Immediately, I opened the door and threw
myself into Christopher’s arms.
Christopher was terrified when he saw me appearing in the doorway out of the blue. He spread his
arms wide and pulled me closer upon seeing me. “Why didn’t you tell me that you’re here? I would
havee back earlier if I knew you were waiting for me.”
I shook my head and buried my face in his chest. My heart gradually calmed down as I smelled the
faint scent of sandalwood and tobo on his body. “It’s okay. Work is more important. I cane back
anytime. Just give me a call whenever you miss me.”
“I can’t do that.” Christopher carried me up as he kicked the door close. Spinning around with me in his
arms, he chuckled. “You’re the most important to me.”
“I’ve never seen myself as such a big shot,” I mumbled with an upset look. I was still in a bad mood.
“You’re my precious darling, so I have toe back earlier for you.” Christopher nted a kiss on the
tip of my nose. “I want to stay with you when you miss me. Otherwise, you’re going to zone out on your
own.”

“Let’s eat. I made all the dishes on my own, but they don’t taste really good.” I handed him a set of
cutlery. However, he stopped eating after taking a bite of the caramelized pork. “Is it really bad? Should
I order some delivery then? I haven’t been cooking for so long that I’m going to be a useless
woman.”
“No. It tastes as good as before.” Christopher pulled me over to the seat beside him. “Don’t worry. You
still have me, even if you turn into a useless woman. I’m determined to be a good husband. I can learn
everything, except giving birth.”
