After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 28 His Jealousy

When Colin made his announcement, Xander's fork stopped mid-air. His gaze, intense and brooding. settled on Isabel's phone.

Isabel clicked her tongue and glanced at the phone. "Find me a good match? Does Amelia even have it in her cold, black heart? I'm curious-who's she trying to set me up with? It better not be some ancient relic in his fifties or sixties." "What exactly did you expect? With your current reputation, do you think you'll attract a wealthy playboy?" Colin's tone was laden with derision.

Isabel raised an eyebrow, recognizing that Amelia was indeed trying to trap her in a difficult situation.

"What's wrong with my reputation? The one who cheated was that arsehole, and the so-called innocent woman was merely playing a part. I'm the actual victim here."

"I don't have time to debate this! You're going on this blind date this weekend!" Colin's voice was commanding and uncompromising.

Isabel picked up a meatball and chewed it slowly, her posture relaxed and defiant.

"And what if I choose not to?"

"You dare!"

"Oh, I absolutely dare.

"You-"

With a beep, Isabel ended the call and swiftly blocked Colin's number.

Samuel watched her actions with a smirk, shaking his head. "You're quite the obedient daughter."

Isabel caught the sarcasm in Samuel's voice. "Would you want a father like that?"

Samuel rolled his eyes, too irritated to continue the discussion.

Xander glanced between Isabel and her phone, his brow furrowing. "You're really not going to go on the blind date?"

"I'm already married. What's the point of a blind date? It would only make you look foolish."

Isabel's flippant remark was oddly pleasing to Xander.

"Don't flatter yourself. You think you're significant enough to embarrass my brother?" Samuel said with irritation. "Stuff it!" Isabel tossed a fish ball into Samuel's bowl.

Samuel stared at the fish ball, grimacing at the thought that it might have been tainted by Isabel's cutlery.

As he was about to discard it, Xander reached over and retrieved it with his own cutlery.
