Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 135

Shawn took and opened it. Then he showed it to Isabella with a smile: "A friend gave it to my sister, but she isn't really into such kind of things, so I want to give it to you as a gift. You may need it in some formal occasions."

Inside the box, there was a luxurious and exquisite lady's watch. It was a classic silver watch and four sides of it were inlaid with diamonds. One could tell it worths a lot without even looking at the logo. 

Isabella tried her best to stay calm and rejected: "Mr. Simons, I really can't accept such an expensive gift. You could give it to Mr. Smith, but it may cause some misunderstandings if you gave it watch to me."

Glancing at the watch, Christian didn't say anything.

"Expensive?" Shawn frowned in confusion, then explained in a funny tone, "Don't overthink of it. I've already felt guilty for letting you send me off after you got injured. it's just a small gift, which isn't not worth much money. I already felt it abrupt for sending you flowers to your company, and haven't even had the time to make an apology."

Flowers?

Christian habitually squinted his eyes a bit. He glanced at Isabella, then at Shawn, laughing and saying causally: "Mr. Simons, anyone could tell your watch values at least a hundred thousand. If you gave it to her, what would Mr. Smith say? With the flowers you sent her, someone may think you wanna be her sugar daddy or something."

Isabella's face flushed, feeling immediately embarrassed. 

But she was flushed due to anger. Whether or not he said it on purpose, did he have to make her feel awkward? 

He even spoke 'sugar daddy' out loud. Did he just forget that he he wanted her to quit her job and that he would raise her at home?

She really couldn't help but secretly give him an angry look. 

However, Christian didn't even look at her back seriously.

Hearing his words, Shawn was also a bit startled. He looked at the watch and thought for a few seconds. Then he laughed, slowly closed the box, and returned it to his secretary, "Sorry, I was ill-considered, but Mr. Miller, it was not right to use the word 'sugar daddy'. Miss Jones and I are both single. So either I give her flowers or the watch, you can't call me like that, can you?"

Isabella was slightly shocked.

Single?

He shouldn't be unmarried, should he?

Christian stood there with a slightly lazy expression, but a hint of sternness flashed past his eyes extremely quickly, "Looks like You're not only a brilliant businessman, but also a lady-killer, Mr. Miller. I indeed should learn more from you."

"Learn what? Haven't you already got married? Do you still need to learn from a single man like me?" Shawn suddenly frowned.

Isabella's heart suddenly shook. She looked at them with an astonished expression.

How did he know that Christian'd already got married?

Or he'd know of her relationship with Christian all along?

Not only was she shocked, Christian was also a little surprised. He smiled at Shawn with a deep gaze, "How do you know I'm married, Mr. Simons?"

Shawn laughed and shook his head, "Although you haven't made it public, the wedding ring on your finger is just too eye—catching."

Isabella was startled once again, and she looked at the man with a complicated expression.

She'd used to wear her ring every day, but she didn't expected him to wear it at work as she'd seldom seen him when they were still married. So today she was a little surprised when she heard it.
