Chapter 151
Isabella lowered her head, not daring to look at Ben’s face.
However, she had made her choice. It was too late to change her mind.
She could only tell herself that her status was different now. In any case, Ben could not do anything to her.
“Ben! Susan!” Leo stood up joyfully, saying, “I have good news to announce. Isabella has agreed to marry me.”
“Uh?” Ben walked over expressionlessly, asking, “When did she agree?”
“Yesterday,” Leo replied, overjoyed, “Isabella said that she refused to marry me in order to give me a test. Yesterday, she thought that I had passed the test, so she decided to marry
me.”
Penelope said with disdain, “Test? I don’t think she’s good enough to give you a test. Leo, in my opinion, she is too pretentious to be a good wife.”
Penelope, who held a grudge against Isabella, did not want her to marry Leo at all.
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Leo said in displeasure, “Isabella is pregnant with my child. Don’t piss her off like this.”
Penelope asked in shock, “What did you say? She is pregnant? Really? Leo, she got pregnant after sleeping with you that night? I bet she may be pregnant with someone
else’s child.”
Penelope said in a sharp voice, but Isabella just glanced at Leo gently and said, “Leo, since your mother doesn’t trust me at all, I think we…”
“Isabella, don’t be angry!” Leo said anxiously. At the moment, he, who had fallen for Isabella for a long time and finally convinced the girl of his dreams to marry him, was excited and complacent. How could he be willing to give up easily?
Leo said to Penelope in a harsh tone, “Mom! I’m telling you, Isabella is pregnant with my child who is also your grandchild. Will you be pleased if you keep pissing her off and cause
Chapter 151
her to have a miscarriage?”
Penelope said in astonishment, “I haven’t said anything offensive yet!”
“Mom, I hope you can remember that Isabella is the woman I have chosen to be my wife. Being nice to her is equivalent to being nice to me. If you treat her badly, it will be a slap in my face,” Leo said sternly, seeming to be fiercely protective towards his wife.
Hearing his words, Isabella looked at him gratefully.
Leo got carried away.
Penelope was pissed off by her beloved son.
She had brought him up with painstaking efforts. How could he talk to her like this
because of a woman?
Isabella hadn’t married him yet.
Penelope believed that she would have a hard time if Isabella married Leo.
“No, I can’t allow her to marry Leo,” Penelope thought.
Penelope said with a cold face, “No matter what you say, I won’t allow you to marry her
unless I die.”
Hearing this, Isabella did not refute Penelope’s words, just lowered her head and looked a little upset.
Leo immediately felt sorry for her.
He directly showed Penelope two certificates, saying, “Isabella and I came here after getting our marriage certificates! So, Isabella has married me. Mom, if you insist on committing suicide, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Penelope looked at the two certificates and everything went black.
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Leo and Isabella with trembling fingers, saying, “You… You two…”
Leo ignored her, looked at Charlie and said, “Grandpa, Isabella saved your life. She’s a good
Chapter 151
ter 15
girl. Grandpa, you’ll definitely be on my side, won’t you?”
Charlie furrowed his brows and said composedly, “I don’t mind who you marry, but in any case, you shouldn’t have talked to your mother like that.”
“Grandpa, Isabella comes from Riowert, but she decided to start over her life in a strange country because of me. I’m all she got now. I must do all I could to protect her,” Leo said as he looked at Isabella lovingly.
Isabella looked back at him feelingly.
The two of them seemed to be deeply in love with each other.
Penelope put her hand on her chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood in rage!
Charlie, who attached great importance to filial piety, was displeased to see Leo put his wife before his mother.
However, when he was about to lecture Leo, Penelope couldn’t bear to see her son
lectured.
She hurriedly said, “Dad, Leo just blurted it out because he loves his wife dearly. I know that he still cares about me a lot.”
“Mom, as long as you stop picking on Isabella, I will always be your filial son,” Leo said, taking it for granted.
Penelope was speechless with anger.
It sounded like if she picked on Isabella, Leo would no longer be her filial son.
Her heart suddenly ached again.
Nevertheless, she still decided to defend her son despite her distress..
Therefore, Penelope forced a smile and said, “Dad, Leo dotes on his wife like his brother.”
Worried that Charlie would be dissatisfied with Leo, Penelope tried to defend Leo while mentioning Ben shrewdly.
“Yes, I learned that from Ben,” Leo said with a smile, “Ben, you and Susan are an
Chapter 151
affectionate couple. I bet you are delighted to see that Isabella and I also make an affectionate couple.”
Ben glanced at him and slowly poured himself a cup of coffee.
He didn’t say anything, but the living room somehow quieted down.
Isabella stiffened her back slightly.
The only way to stay in Coraland she could think of was to marry Leo!
Ben and Leo were not very close, but they were brothers after all.
In the last life, although Leo had disappointed Ben a lot, Ben still helped him start up a small company that ensured his comfortable life.
It could be seen that Ben was not as unfeeling as he looked.
He actually cared about Leo, his brother.
Therefore, as long as she married Leo, she would be the Ben’s daughter–in–law as well as a member of the Landor family.
As long as Ben cared about his brother, she assumed he wouldn’t drive her back to
Riowert.
Nevertheless, it was not easy to achieve the goal of marrying Leo in a short time. Isabella forged a diagnosis certificate, claimed that she was pregnant, and complained tearfully about it. On the spur of the moment, Leo agreed to marry her and get the marriage certificates immediately.
Then they came to the Landor’s house this morning.
Isabella had her calculation. Since she had married Leo, she could be considered a member of the Landor family.
Moreover, now that she was “pregnant“, Leo couldn’t sleep with her.
In this way, not only could she manage to stay in Coraland, but she wouldn’t have to sleep with Leo. It could be said that she killed two birds with one stone. Besides, she and Ben
Chapter 151
would live in the same house from now on and probably come to have a tender feeling for
each other.
The thought of having an affair with Ben as his sister–in–law even made her more excited.
Isabella had racked her brains in scheming.
Now the problem was how Ben would react.
One minute, two minutes…
Ben slowly took a sip of coffee. Finding it tasted good, he poured another cup for Susan.
Everyone in the living room remained silent.
After finishing a cup of coffee, Ben asked, “Did you get the marriage certificates?”
“Yes,” Leo answered without hesitation.
“Have you made up your mind to spend your life with Isabella and never go back on your word?” Ben asked another question.
“Yes,” Leo answered, nodding again.
“Well,” Ben replied calmly.
“Ben, are you on our side?” Leo asked joyfully.
Ben ignored him and looked at Charlie, saying, “Grandpa, since Leo is also married, I think it’s time to divide up family property and live apart. What do you think?”
Divide up family property and live apart?!
Penelope, whose pupils suddenly contracted, said, “Divide up family property and live apart? I reject it!”
