Their Bundle Of Joy novel Chapter 49

But, Isabel quickly found out that certain things were beyond her control.

She can act as if she didn’t see Aiden and Amanda.

But Celia and her son already saw them.

Because Aiden and Amanda’s table was only separated from them by another table.

Although Aiden’s back was towards them, his back was too eye-catching. At their position, whenever they turn a little, they could see him clearly.

Furthermore, he was Aiden.

As soon as he entered the Treasure Ship seafood world, he was the center of attraction.

Isabel even felt that the men at the restaurant also started to look at Aiden.

The reason was simply that the woman beside the men was all attracted by Aiden resulting in the men hoping to use some black magic to force Aiden away.

Aiden was like a beacon who attracted attention everywhere he went.

The elegant and aloof behavior projected the image of an elite.

And the person opposite him, Amanda was a person in his world who had now taken out the menu to order.

Amanda was no longer a stranger to Isabel.

She searched for her on the internet and found a bunch of information.

Amanda was a Harvard graduate who studied economics and finances. She was the only granddaughter of the director of the Hood Group. Whether was it education or family tree, she was certainly considered a distinguished pedigree.

On the contrary, as for Aiden, the news circulating wildly on the internet had her involvement.

It was the time when Aiden punished Abby for Isabel at the Royal restaurant that caused Isabel to become the headline news on the internet.

“Isabel, doesn’t Aiden avoid being seen in public? But now…” Celia saw the darkened face on Isabel and couldn’t resist her curiosity and asked.

She knew that Isabel liked Aiden.

Looks like Aiden was serious with the lady friend he was with tonight.

Then what will happen to her Isabel?

Celia was anxious.

“Auntie Celia, the food is here.” Daniel thoughtfully steered away Celia’s attention and question. Doesn’t she know that his mommy was sad?

Celia was sprinkling salt to the wound. That will make mommy even sadder.

Humph, it doesn’t matter, he had already given up on that daddy.

It doesn’t matter if he’s gone. He won’t insist on it. He just wanted mommy to be happy.

But Celia was totally mesmerized by the couple, “Look at that Amanda, one look and you can tell that she’s a foxy slut. Isabel, don’t be disheartened. From the looks of it, Aiden is just being superficial with her.”

Isabel stretched out her arm and pinched Celia’s hand, “Stop it, let’s enjoy our dinner.”

Celia reluctantly shifted her attention back to their table, “Don’t tell me that you’ve given up?”

Isabel continued to eat her dinner, hoping to quickly finish her meal and leave.

If it wasn’t for the expensive dishes here, she would have left immediately.

“Aiden, this fish roe is very nice, it is very nutritious, you should try some.” The gentle voice of the woman drifted over.

Isabel felt that Amanda did it on purpose. Amanda definitely can see them from where she sits. Amanda’s voice was so loud, was she trying to show off?

Isabel looked over and heard Aiden say calmly, “I don’t eat fish roe.”

“I’m sorry, I just find them very nutritious,” Amanda said softly. She didn’t expect Aiden to push away the fish roe that she had served him and even changed a plate to continue his meal.

She then remembers that Aiden is obsessed with cleanliness. He doesn’t eat something that is served by others even if it was using a serving utensil.

“Aiden, I heard that the piece of land at the south of the city was already obtained by you. Why did you release it? If you want it back, I can contact my uncle. He is the person who zones the land…”

“Miss Hood, I don’t like to talk about work outside of business hours.” Aiden was slightly frustrated. Apart from taking Isabel and Daniel, he has never appeared in public in such a manner.

But today, it was Amanda who insisted that they eat at the main hall.

He knew that Amanda did it on purpose because he rarely dines with a woman.

Once the news of them dining together spreads, a lot of people would assume that they are together even though they have not started a relationship.

And the reason why he was having dinner with Amanda was total because of Isabel.

He thought that these few days when he started to feel for Isabel was because over these years he had interacted too little with women and once he was with a woman, he naturally wanted to protect her.

So if he could look for another woman to socialize, he would be able to forgo Isabel for good.

But now he realized that in front of him was Amanda but what flashed across his mind was still Isabel.

Suddenly he wanted to end this dinner.

Since there were no feelings, he didn’t want to force himself.

“Miss Hood, I’m not used to this kind of occasion, I need to leave.” Aiden’s expression turned and he didn't like to be manipulated.

Not to mention it was Amanda who was having these motives.

Does she expect to be labeled as his girlfriend just by having a meal with him?

He chose to have a meal with Amanda out of respect for his father.

After all his father had mentioned it numerous times already.

Aiden said and stood up.

Amanda didn’t expect Aiden to leave immediately. In her anxiety, she grabbed Aiden’s wrist and begged softly, “Aiden, even if you don’t like me, let’s finish this meal. Then we’ll go our ways amicably.”

She already saw Isabel sitting next to the window and no matter what she can’t look bad in front of Isabel.

“Release me.” Aiden looked at Amanda’s hands and shook her off like swatting a fly.

But he thought of his father’s instructions and sat down. Thereafter he took a paper napkin and wiped his wrist where Amanda had touched, in full view of everyone.

Amanda felt exceedingly awkward.

She wanted to erupt but there were too many people.

She could sense the envy of many women.

That would include Isabel.

But Isabel must have not only envied her but also hated her.

In any case, Isabel couldn’t hear what she whispered to Aiden and she might as well treat as if nothing had happened.

Except that she wouldn’t dare to touch Aiden again.

But there was something that she can’t figure out. Since Aiden was so obsessed with cleanliness, how was it that he could hold onto Isabel’s hand?

Didn’t he feel uncomfortable holding onto Isabel’s hand?

She became upset once Amanda thought of it.
