That''s The Only Thing She Asked For


    He''d seen that Minh a few times, but he didn''t pay too much attention to him at the beginning. Untilst


    night...


    He hoped he didn''t overthink.


    Isabe got on Christian''s car and returned home first, but she was still wondering about the thingst


    night.


    In the Scenery Bay.


    Isabe entered her apartment, followed by Christian who insisted on staying with her.


    Seeing theme back together, Diana wasn''t surprised at all. But the way she looked at them made


    Isabe feel very ufortable.


    "Christian, make yourself at home." Diana waved at him.


    Christian smiled warmly, looked at Isabe, and said: "I''ll visit Mr. Jones first."


    Diana pointed to a room, saying: "That room."


    Before Isabe could stop him, Christian had already headed towards the room.


    She nced at him expressionlessly without saying anything, then walked into the living room and sat


    with Diana.


    Probably having heard something and seen it was Isabe through the crack of the door, Rachel


    quickly ran to her from the bedroom.


    Isabe gently said, "Come over, Rachel."


    The little girl immediately snuck into her embrace.


    Caressing her soft and tender face, Isabe asked Diana: "Mom, aren''t you going to ask me why I


    didn''t returnst night?"


    Without even looking at her, Diana said, "You''re not a kid anymore, and you still want me to keep an


    eye on you? You may find me annoying if so, and I still need to take care of dad."


    With an aggrieved expression, Isabe said, "Mom, I''m pregnant now. Who was the one that insisted


    on staying with me all day? But now you even refused to look at me?"


    "Since there''s someone more concerned with you than me, I don''t have to be like that way." Diana said


    indifferently.


    Alright then.


    Isabe nced at her dad''s room and asked coldly: "Did he tell you why I didn''te homest


    night?"


    Diana finally turned her gaze from tv show to Isabe and snorted disdainfully, "You dared to ask this.


    Do you even know how shameless you''re. Thank goodness it was Christianst night, otherwise I''ll


    break your legs."


    "…"


    Isabe was stupefied, and looked at Diana in a daze.


    Shameless?


    What the hell did she do?


    What did Christian told Dianast night? Surely it wasn''t about the thing that she went to hospitalst


    night, otherwise, her mother definitely wouldn''t have such an attitude now.


    However, she didn''t continue to ask but only said snappily, "Why are you relieved if it was him? Aren''t


    you afraid that he may do something to me?"


    "They are his babies, so what could he do?" Diana obviously despised her question, then med her,


    "What''s more, he has never done anything wrong, and also realised his problem after you got divorced.


    Why do you always pulled a long face in front of him?"


    "…"


    Isabe''s face instantly darkened after Diana finished her words.


    "Mom, that... that''s not what you said before. You said you''d always respect my choice and stand by


    my side... " It''d only been a few days and she''d changed her mind. How did Christian brainwash her?


    Diana nced at her and said with righteousness, "I respect your decision, but you shouldn''t gone too


    far, should you? Leeds is so far away, but a busy boss like him stilles back every few days just


    because he kept worrying about you. That''s why I change my mind."


    Feeling slightly guilty, Isabe pouted and said: "I didn''t force him to do this."


    Before their divorce, if he was like this, she would rather resign her job and stay with him in Leeds.


    But honestly speaking, Isabe was currently a little shaken inside. Women were usually the most


    vulnerable when they were sick or in trouble, and any man who took meticulous care of them would


    soften their hearts.


    Therefore, she hesitated but also a bit timid, daring not to respond easily.


    Hugging Rachel closely, Isabe held onto her forehead in mncholy.


    Looking at Isabe again, as if she didn''t notice her depression, Diana continued to lecture her: "If he


    does anything based on your mood, is he still a man of his own mind? You belly is getting bigger and


    bigger, even I can''t be at ease with you going outside everyday, let alone him. He knows it''s impossible


    to persuade you to resign, so all he could do is to travel between two cities every few days."


    Hearing this, Isabe didn''t say a word with her head lowered.


    She also knew what Diana meant. It was just that she''d tried her best to be nice to him, but he just


    really hurt her feelings during the past three years.


    Inside Tristan''s room, Christian sat on a chair beside the bed. His calm expression revealed the


    steadiness of a mature man. Looking at the old man on bed, he said, "Because of you, someone is


    targeting her now."


    He wasn''t ming him, but just telling him the truth.


    Tristan''s face turned pale. Panic was reflected in his turbid eyes. "Christian... you...you can''t let


    anything happen to Isabe. She''s innocent. My fault has nothing to do with her."


    "I know. I won''t let anyone hurt her." Christian said expressionlessly.


    The fear on Tristan''s face didn''t disappear. He just chuckled, and said in a deste manner: "She


    always said that except for themoners, the only person I should feel sorry for is Diana, but in


    fact...I feel most sorry for her. I haven''t done many things for her since she was a child, and she seldom


    asked for anything like other girls..."


    Then he turned to look at Christian with aplicated gaze, "The only thing she asked for was... and

    then I went to your dad''s..."


    ...


    Christian walked out of the bedroom in a state of preupation, then went to another room, only to see


    Isabe sitting on the ground with a cushionid, teaching Rachel how to write. Her side face looked


    extremely gentle, which made him remind of Tristan''s words just now.


    He''d originally thought that they were both forced to get married. But It turned out that... she''d been


    acting in front of him for three years, and he was the only one forced.


    Feeling the gaze, Isabe turned her head and saw that pair of deep eyes.


    After staring at each other for more than ten seconds, she suddenly went back her senses. Then she


    said in a gentle and calm voice, "Wait a minute, I''ll go right away."


    After assigning Rachel some homework, Isabe packed her stuff and followed Christian downstairs.


    She was going back to thepany, so was he.
