After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Something Weird About Isabel

The girl stood there quietly, looking like she stepped right out of a painting.

She walked down the stairs slowly, as if a fairy was coming to life.

While Xander couldn't take his eyes off Isabel, Samuel was also watching her.

Was this really the same ugly person from earlier? If he hadn't seen her come out of the room himself, he wouldn't believe that this was the Isabel who married his older brother.

Isabel walked up to Xander, gave a slight smile, and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Then she sat down, crossing her legs and acting as if she were at home.

Xander's eyes followed Isabel, and he quickly noticed what she was wearing.

That's my shirt!

Isabel saw him staring and said, "There weren't any other clothes in the room. I couldn't come out in just a towel, could I?"

Xander looked at the shirt on Isabel. It was usually crisp and neat on him, but now it looked all wrinkled and disheveled on her.

Also, her damp hair was spread out all over, giving her a wild, natural look.

The water was dripping onto his shirt, revealing her figure.

Seeing this, Xander frowned, took off his suit jacket, and threw it over her.

"What's this for? I'm not cold," Isabel said, not wanting to put it on.

"Put it on! Or go upstairs," Xander said firmly.

Isabel looked down at herself, thinking that Xander really lived up to the rumors of being uninterested in women. Even though she wasn't wearing much on the bottom, the shirt was long enough—longer than a typical skirt. Wasn't that good enough for him?

Seriously, what a pain.

Isabel grumbled to herself as she put on the suit jacket.

If it weren't for the mission, she wouldn't even bother with him.

"Alright, Mr. Bennett, I'm covered up now. Just say what you want to say."

"Okay, I'll get straight to it. I know what you're up to," Xander said, staring at Isabel with intense, dark eyes.

Isabel squinted slightly. She was surprised inside, but her face didn't show it at all.

Did he figure out she was Lone Wolf and she was here for a mission?

While Isabel was trying to make sense of this, Xander's deep voice came through again.

"You're using me to get back at that scumbag."
