After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Jealous, but Won't Admit It
Thud!

Isabel's heart ached, and her pupils trembled despite her best efforts.

She fought it.

She fought to hold back the surge of emotions.

"W-what did you just say?"

"Nothing, it's nothing. Sorry, I just lost control for a moment," Richie said, quickly looking away from Isabel.

His gaze dropped to the candy in his hand, frowning in deep thought.

Leslie ... where are you?

When will I be able to see you again?

Isabel's gaze also lingered on the candy in Richie's hand. She could feel what he was thinking at that moment.

Her mood sank as she lowered her head, pouting slightly while bitterness rose in her mouth.

Luckily, Richie was lost in his own emotions and didn't pay attention to Isabel. Otherwise, he might have sensed something amiss.

The atmosphere in the office grew heavier, more suffocating.

Buzz, buzz. Isabel's phone, tucked in her pocket, vibrated.

The vibration broke the silence, pulling both Isabel and Richie back to reality.

Richie glanced at Isabel as she reached for her phone, a smile tugging at his lips. "That must be Mr. Xander calling, right?" he guessed.

From what he had learned over the past few days, Richie knew how much Xander doted on Isabel, practically wanting to keep her tied to his side at all times.

Isabel had come to see him early this morning, and Xander was undoubtedly aware of it.

Now, with the phone ringing, it was highly likely that Xander was calling to check in on them.

"Hello?" Isabel answered the call.

"What? You're already downstairs?" Isabel exclaimed in surprise, glancing out the window. Sure enough, she saw the familiar car parked below.

Richie noticed as well and shook his head with a wry smile.

It seemed Xander's affection and devotion to Isabel were even stronger than he had imagined.

It's for the best, he thought. When Leslie returns, she definitely won't want Xander to be her husband anymore.
