After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 119 You Will Never Divorce Me!

Oh my goodness! Do things really have to be this absolute?

Isabel understood that the issue at hand wouldn't be solved so quickly.

Thinking this through, she turned to glance at Xander.

His face held a dark expression, and his thin lips were pressed firmly into a straight, tense line.

Even though Xander remained silent, Isabel could sense his emotions.

She drew a deep breath, her gaze locking suddenly with Ivana's.

barely in his twenties and has carried every burden alone, fighting with his uncles to defend you, and vying for the Bennetts' head family position. Has he ever voiced a single complaint? Just because he remains silent, does that mean he isn't struggling?" Xander's icy expression softened briefly, a flicker of distraction crossing his eyes as he looked at Isabel, followed by an unexplainable wave of emotion.

Ivana frowned, glancing at Xander. She had raised him herself and knew his personality well-strong-willed and unyielding, never one to share his troubles with others.

Now, however, her son was plagued by severe insomnia, brought on by the relentless stress and countless sleepless nights he endured during that time.

Noticing the shift in Ivana's expression, Isabel realized her words were making an impact, so she pressed on firmly.

"He may not say much, but if you were willing to imagine yourself in his place, you'd understand just how challenging it really is!

"You're forcing him to choose between his wife and his own mother-can you imagine how hard that would be for any man?

"I mean, just tell me. how is he supposed to decide? If he chooses you, he'll feel useless, like he couldn't even protect his own wife.

"But if he chooses me, then he's seen as unfilial!"

Her words left Ivana speechless, unable to utter a single word in response. As she looked at Xander, a hint of guilt crept into her gaze. Moments before, she had reacted purely out of fear, worried Isabel might harm her son.

The restaurant was silent enough that even the tiniest sound would have been noticeable.

Rachel thought about stepping in, but after hearing Isabel's words, she felt at a loss for anything to say that might make Isabel leave.

Isabel glanced around, deciding it was time to make her final move.

Retreat as a form of advance.

She gently pulled her hand from Xander's firm grip, gazing at him with a look of sorrow.

"Now that things have reached this point, I don't want to make things harder for you. After all, she's your mother, and I can't tear apart that bond just to be your temporary wife. Let's proceed with the divorce." Xander narrowed his deep, ocean-like eyes, replying resolutely. That's not going to happen."

"But..." Isabel's response was cut off by his firm tone.
