Loveless Marriage
Chapter 141 I Am Serious

The knife and fork in Isabella's hands suddenly slipped, which let out a short ear-piercing sound. She paused for two seconds, then raised her head, and looked at Luke with her eyes filled with guilt, "Sorry, Luke...I thought about it for a long time... But I still can't..."

Feeling a bit depressed, she apologised to him.

Luke's eyes dimmed, but he wasn't angry, nor did he lose his composure. He still calmly smiled: "There's no need to apologise. We both have experienced a failed marriage so it's normal for us to be careful. I'm already quite happy that you could consider about it."

"Thanks for your understanding, Luke." Isabella gratefully looked at him, and lowered her head to feed Rachel a piece of meat. Then she said sincerely: "Luke, with your conditions and personality, you should replace a woman you truly like. You don't need to settle for anyone less than you deserve. I believe the woman you have an eye on would also treat Rachel nice."

In her mind, Luke was just thinking she was suitable for being a wife and can live a life with him.

However, Luke shook his head and laughed, "Isabella, why do you think that way? Or do you think I'm not proactive enough?"

"Huh?" Isabella was dumbstruck, then she looked at him in a daze, "Isn't that true?"

Did she guess it wrong?

Luke found her dazed expression a little funny, then he stared at her with passion. "Miss Jones, don't you even know how good you're? If I say that I was truly attracted to you, would you reconsider me?"

Such a sudden confession.

With her mouth opened, Isabella didn't know how to reply for a moment.

Luke took a sip of his drink and said, "I know I'm not as romantic as those young men, but I still know what I truly want from the bottom of my heart."

Pausing, he raised his head and looked directly into her eyes, his voice clear and forceful. "I'm serious, Isabella."

Isabella was shocked as she stuttered, "Lu...Luke..."

How could he possibly fall for her?

They had been getting along for so long, and she had imagined about what would happen if they got married and build a family together. But she'd never thought about his feeling for her. Already feeling guilty, Isabella was now in a dilemma. She was really afraid that she would hurt his feelings.

There was a short silence at the table.

Sensing her awkwardness, Luke laughed and said: "Sorry to scare you, but I have no other intentions. I just don't want you to misunderstand. If you wanna remarry Mr. Miller, I'll also be happy for you. I can see that you like him very much."

Hearing Christian's name, Isabella quickly shook her head, "It has nothing to do with him."

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. The phone on the table suddenly vibrated and the name on the bright screen was quite clear.

Isabella's face flushed red. She pressed the 'decline' button and gently bit her lips, "I just can't accept anyone now. As for Christian and I...We probably can't be together again." She liked him, but was that even useful? ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
