Chapter 72 I'll Raise You and the Kid
In the employee cafeteria.
Jack went to get food, Seb handed a tissue to Kelsey. "Tell me, what's wrong with Isabella?"
Kelsey wiped her tears and said, "Isabella said, there are places in this world where the light can’t shine. Without someone behind you, even fighting back will make a person suffer a lot. Seb, I really feel sorry for her!"
Seb frowned, feeling inexplicably distressed. "What else did she say?"
"She said she has no parents, only a sister. She was always bullied when she was young." Kelsey was touched. "She said it so calmly, but I just feel so moved. I have parents who love me, and a brother who always spoils me. Even if I wanted the moon in the sky, my brother would find a way to get it for me. I often act spoiled and temperamental. I really shouldn't. Compared to Isabella, I'm living in paradise."
Seb smirked, looking somewhat relieved. "It's great that you think that."
"Oh, right." Kelsey took out a check from her pocket, "Seb, I lied to you before. Actually, Isabella didn't ask me for the twenty thousand dollars. She didn't ask me for anything and just agreed to switch seats with me. She's a kind girl. I’m willing to lose to her."
Seb raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"
"Yes." Kelsey took a sip of soup, her emotions stabilizing, "Seb, don't deny it. Although I've only been at the company for a few days, I've seen how good you are to Isabella. You like Isabella. Now that she's pregnant, you have to take responsibility for her!"
Seb was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
"Seb, you're like my brother. You’re both emotionally clueless. When you like someone, you don't even realize it. My brother was like that too, so he missed out on Susan Anderson. If you like Isabella, speak up quickly. Don't wait for her to be taken away by someone else, or you'll end up like my brother."
"If your brother hears you say that, he'll probably cry again." Seb was amused by Kelsey's words. But he began to seriously consider this issue.
'Am I in love with Isabella? What do I really feel for Isabella?' Seb thought.
Jack walked over, carrying a packaged meal in his hand. "Mr. Landon, here's your meal. It's all light and appetizing dishes as you requested."
Seb stood up to take the meal. "You guys go ahead and eat."
Then he left the cafeteria.
Isabella's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID. It was Matthew.
She didn't answer but just hung up.
Matthew called again.
Isabella still didn't answer. After hanging up, she blocked Matthew's number.
After a few seconds of silence, the office phone on the table rang, she reached out to pick it up. She heard the voice of the front desk staff. "Isabella, someone from the President's Office is looking for you."
"Okay, I'll be right down."
The Landon Group had strict access control, and you can't enter without swiping a card. Nina had come to see Isabella before, so Isabella thought it was Nina again. But when she went downstairs, she found that it was Matthew.
Matthew stood there in casual clothes, looking handsome in the sunlight. When he saw Isabella, he smiled gently, full of tenderness.
Isabella walked up to him, furrowing her brows. "Why are you here?"
"I brought you food." Matthew raised his hand, holding a lunch box and looking at her. "You don't look good, were you so upset that you didn't eat?"
Isabella didn't understand what he was saying and didn't want to be gossiped about. She just coldly said, "I've eaten, you can leave. Don't come to see me again."
She finished speaking and tried to leave, but Matthew held her back.
"What are you doing?" Isabella tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter, making it difficult for her to break free. She became the focus of the lobby.
Laura and a few girls were coming back from outside after eating, and they saw the scene as soon as they entered.
"Isn't that Isabella?"
"Who's that guy? He's quite handsome."
"Could he be her boyfriend?"
Laura immediately took out her phone and opened the camera.
Isabella looked around, feeling embarrassed, and whispered, "Matthew, let go of me. We’re at the company, so it's not good for you to hold me like this in public!"
Matthew didn't let go. He looked at her and said, "Bella, I've made up my mind. If you want to have that baby, I'll take care of you and the child."
Isabella felt no trace of emotion. She just thought he was crazy, "Matthew, I've told you, my affairs have nothing to do with you!"
She suddenly broke free from Matthew and turned to leave.
But Matthew's voice came from behind her. "I've already posted on the campus network. Now everyone knows you're carrying my child."
His voice was loud, echoing throughout the lobby.
Isabella stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him with pale face. "Matthew, are you out of your mind?"
Matthew wasn't angry, tenderly saying , "I can't stand by and watch you be wronged. I'll be waiting for you here, Bella."
Isabella thought Matthew was really crazy to run to the company and saying such nonsense!
Isabella didn't say anything. She just turned and left.
When she disappeared, Matthew deflated like a balloon losing air. He looked down at the lunch box in his hand, smiling bitterly. "Bella, what should I do to win you back?"
"Hello," said voice from beside him.
Matthew looked up and saw a stylishly dressed girl. The girl smiled at him. "I'm Laura, I’m in the same department as Isabella. Are you her boyfriend?"
"Yes." Matthew smiled.
Laura pointed to the lunch box in his hand. "Let me take this up to her for you."
Matthew handed it over immediately. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Laura took it. "It's no trouble at all."
Seb's phone rang several times as he rode the elevator up. He opened the group chat and found a video Laura had sent. The thumbnail looked like it was Isabella.
he clicked on it Without hesitation.
"Bella, I've made up my mind. If you want to have the baby, I'll take care of you and the child."
Seb furrowed his brow deeply when he saw Matthew's familiar figure.
Could Isabella's boyfriend be his brother Matthew?
Did the child in Isabella's belly belong to Matthew?
When Seb walked out from the elevator, he happened to see Laura taking the lunch box to Isabella, loudly saying, "Isabella, your boyfriend is so good to you, he came all this way just to bring you a loving lunch."
The people around her echoed what she said.
"That's right. You have such a handsome and caring boyfriend. Where did you find him?"
"We’re so envious of Isabella."
"When are you getting married? Isabella, you have to let us know."
Isabella felt choked when she saw at the lunch box. She picked it up and felt like throwing it in the trash. But as she stood up, she saw Seb.
