After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

hapter 104 Revealing Xander as Her Husband

The moment Yvette heard the words, she looked up, her gaze meeting the man's face. Instantly, memories from that night flooded her thoughts-the moment she had pinned him down.

She could barely recall how he muttered curses under his breath, but in the end, it was clear she had the upper hand.

"I-it's you!"

How could this be?

The one who's been calling Isabel non-stop is him!

Wait, does that mean this man is in love with Isabel? Have I unknowingly betrayed my closest friend?

As the realization sank in, Yvette instinctively placed a hand on her stomach, overwhelmed by confusion and inner turmoil.

Though she wasn't ready to give up on the three little lives growing inside her, she couldn't ignore the thought that if Isabel and this man ended up together, her friendship with Isabel would never be the same. What should I do?

Why did it have to be him?

Isabel looked between Max and Yvette, her curiosity piqued. "Do you two know each other?"

Yvette, afraid of Isabel misunderstanding, shook her head frantically.

"No, no, no, we don't know each other!"

Isabel narrowed her eyes, skeptical. She wasn't easily fooled-based on their exchange, it was clear they knew each other.

But she was perplexed as to why Yvette wouldn't just admit it. Is there something Yvette is hiding from me?

As she tried to make sense of things, Yvette hurriedly added, "Isabel, I really don't know him. By the way... is he your boyfriend?"

Before Isabel or Max could answer, Xander emerged from the room. He walked straight up to Isabel, gently gazing into her eyes. "You're here."

"Hey." Isabel nodded in reply.

"Come on in," Xander said softly, taking her bag off her shoulder without a second thought.
