Loveless Marriage -
Chapter 146 You Can Just Pretend He Doesn't Exist
"Got it. Do I even need you to teach me how to raise a kid? Hurry up and go to work. Be careful on the way. "... Oh, okay. Bye."

Inside the elevator, Isabella habitually pressed the button for the B1 floor. Then as if she'd thought of something, she pressed the first floor with a serious expression. The elevator stopped on the first floor. She carried her bag, and her delicate face was expressionless. Then she walked straight out of the apartment building.
Just as she was about to stop a taxi at an intersection, a black car stopped in front of her.
Isabella frowned but didn't care about it so much. Suddenly, the car door opened, and she saw a familiar face.
"Miss Jones."
Isabella raised her head, just to see the tall man in front of her. Her face immediately changed, "Canon? Why are you..."
Then she remembered Christian's words from last night, and asked with a heavy voice, "Did he ask you to come?"
Canon respectfully nodded his head, "Yes, Mr. Miller lets me send you to work."
Isabella rejected him flatly, "No need at all. I can do it myself. You go back now."
She thought he had taken her words in last night, but it turned out she was like cast pearls before swine.
For the sake of her child, she'd decided not to drive to work. But if she woke up early, she'd have enough time to get a taxi or catch a bus. There was really no need to have someone send her to work.
Canon's tall and straight body blocked her way, then said indifferently: "Mr. Miller hired me to do this, Miss Jones, so this is my job. I cannot listen to you. if you are unwilling, you can call Mr. Miller to order me back."
"You!" Isabella was so angry that her face turned purple.
Isabella clenched her fist. Not wanting to waste time with him, she quickly took out her phone and dialled a number.
The phone connected after a few seconds.
"Hello, I am Steven. Mr. Miller is in a meeting right now. if you have anything you want to say, you can tell me or call later."

Meeting?
Isabella held her phone. Before she could say anything, Steven finished the whole paragraph, and her face darkened.
"No need." She took a deep breath and was about to hang up.
"Sorry, are you Miss Jones?" Steven seemed to have recognised her voice.
Isabella's voice became faint, "Yes, it's me. If he doesn't have time, I'll hang up now."
But in the next second, a deep and familiar male voice sounded, "Are you looking for me?"
Hearing that, Isabella's heart was a bit softened.
Isn't he... in a meeting?
But she didn't think about it further, as she had to rush to work. Then she said in a cold tone, "Christian, let Canon go back. I don't need anyone to send me to work. Don't you understand my words last night?" Christian asked in a heavy tone, "Are you going to drive again today?"
Bitting her lower lip, Isabella said, "Nope."
"Since you don't have a car, then you'd have to take a taxi or get a bus. Don't even think about the bus. As for the taxi, it'd be better to take Canon's car. You can give him money later."
Isabella's face darkened. She had no idea how to refute him.
Taking in a deep breath, she said, "Christian, stop being so childish! I now don't have time to waste with you two."
Christian was as calm as ever, without any hint of impatience. "There're also a group of people waiting for me to hold a meeting. Be good, you can just pretend he doesn't exist."
Isabella looked up at Canon.
Pretend that he doesn't exist?
Come on, she wasn't blind.
