Chapter 101 Xander Plays the Drunk Act
Thump, thump, thump...
Isabel's heart raced wildly as if it had a life of its own. A warm sensation spread through her body, especially when she caught the glint in the man's eyes.
His gaze was intense, like it could pierce through her soul, deep and mysterious, shimmering with an almost celestial glow.
With a look like that, with a presence so magnetic, no woman could resist falling under his spell.
Yet, the more he stared at her, the guiltier Isabel felt.
She had come to Xander with a singular goal: the emerald guardian angel pendant. The pendant held secrets that could unravel the truth about her origins. That was why, in her past life, she had agreed to take on the mission.
She believed that finding the pendant would lead her to the employer who had hired her. From there, she would uncover the trail of those behind her past and maybe find some answers about her real identity. But time had clouded her memories. After suffering from a serious illness, her childhood recollections were faint at best.
Still, some fragments lingered-she remembered a loving family, parents, grandparents, a warm, happy life...
Then, in an instant, it was all gone. Why had everything vanished? Why had she ended up in an orphanage with no memory of her past? She had to uncover the truth, no matter what.
As these thoughts swirled in her mind, Isabel quickly collected herself and forced a sheepish smile toward Xander.
"I was just talking nonsense," she said, her voice light. "You know what I'm really after. We talked about this when we got married. That jerk, Kaleb, hurt me, so I'm just getting back at him." Xander's eyes didn't leave her as he listened, his expression unreadable but filled with something she couldn't quite pinpoint. "Let's eat. The food is getting cold."
He picked up his knife and fork and began cutting the steak, each piece neatly placed in front of Isabel.
Though he looked calm on the outside, his thoughts were swirling with the image of Isabel deep in thought.
Seeing that she was reluctant to talk about it, he decided to let it go.
Whatever her true intentions were, one thing was certain-Isabel's reason for marrying him was clearly more complicated than she let on.
But he didn't care about her reasons. Now that she was here, there was no easy way out.
Just then, Isabel's phone buzzed.
It was Beowulf.
"Boss, it's almost ten. When will you be here?"
