Chapter 144 Misunderstandings and a Jealous Outburst in the Rain

That voice!

Xander's face instantly darkened like a storm rolling in his expression so grim it was practically dripping with rage.

""You're with Kaleb?"

Isabel felt a mix of shock and frustration, throwing a glare at Kaleb.

"Yes, he came to find me. Said he wanted to talk."

At this point, Isabel had no choice but to tell the truth.

Xander's lips pressed into a thin, hard line, his face as cold as ice. The air around him seemed to drop several degrees, an intense chill radiating from him.

She didn't want him to touch her, but she'd run off to meet Kaleb in private-and then lie about it to him.

Just like Kaleb said-was she afraid that he would interrupt their little alone time?

The thought gnawed at Xander, filling him with an overwhelming frustration that was close to boiling

Xander gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white from the pressure.

"Ha!" Isabel let out a bitter laugh.

"Why? Do you seriously have no clue why?"

Kaleb's face hardened. "You never used to talk like this.

"And you never used to cheat on me," Isabel snapped back, unfiltered.

Kaleb took a deep breath. "Can't we just have a calm conversation?"

"You think this isn't calm? The fact that I haven't punched you yet is already pretty generous.

Isabel clenched her fist, giving him a look that clearly said she was ready to swing if he pushed her any
