After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Max Breaks Into Kaleb's Home
When Isabel received Kaleb's call, Xander was still by her side.

To prevent any misunderstandings, Isabel immediately hung up without thinking twice.

"Who was it?" Xander glanced at her phone, his gaze darkening slightly.

"Oh, just a call from the telecommunication customer service hotline. They've been bugging me since yesterday about upgrading my plan. They must be trying to hit their targets at the end of the year," Isabel replied and shoved her phone into her pocket. Then, she swiftly changed the subject. "What do you want for dinner? I'll cook."

Xander's eyes lingered on her pocket, clearly not fully convinced.

"I'm serious! I'm not lying to you," Isabel declared, pulling out her phone to show him the call log.

Sure enough, the last call was from a customer service hotline just as she had said.

This wasn't the first time Isabel had dealt with this. Twice before, Kaleb's calls had caused major arguments between her and Xander.

To avoid a repeat, she had smartly saved Kaleb's name as a random customer service hotline number.

She silently patted herself on the back for her foresight.

Xander, finally satisfied, withdrew his suspicious gaze from her pocket.

"We'll eat out tonight. I've already reserved a place."

"Alright, I'll head upstairs to get ready," Isabel said.

Meanwhile, Kaleb stared blankly at his phone.

Why didn't she answer my call?

Does she hate me so much now that she wouldn't even answer my calls?

He exhaled a frustrated sigh, pressing his fingers against his temples.

For the longest time, Kaleb had assumed Isabel's indifference was just an act to play hard to get. But after everything that had happened recently, he felt her growing further and further away.

"Isabel truly has no feelings for me anymore?" he murmured to himself.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, a message from Isabel popped up.

His face lit up instantly.

He knew it—she couldn't possibly feel anything for him.

Excitedly, he opened the message, only for his expression to freeze.

"Stop calling me! What if my husband gets the wrong idea? You're so annoying!"

Kaleb's eyes widened in disbelief.

His mind was completely blank for a solid minute before he snapped out of it and dialed her number again.

"Ugh, not again!" Isabel muttered, exasperated.

She had tried blocking Kaleb's number before, but he would use different numbers every time she blocked a number.

After a while, it just felt pointless, so she gave up.

"What do you want now?" she snapped impatiently.

"Isabel, tell me, what exactly happened between you and Eva earlier?" Kaleb demanded.

"So that's why you're calling? To stick up for Eva? Fine, I admit it. I pushed her a few times. But only because she deserved it! My friend's pregnant and her belly's already showing. After just a little argument, Eva tried to trip her. If I hadn't acted quickly, my friend could've lost her baby and her life. So yeah, Eva had it coming!"

Kaleb was stunned.

Eva attacked a pregnant woman?

Why hadn't Eva or Mom mentioned anything?
