After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 161 Xander Is Jealous of His Younger Brother Chapter 161 Xander Is Jealous of His Younger Brother "Can't be bothered." Isabel tossed her phone aside.

Samuel raised an eyebrow. "Don't put on an act for me I know you just want me to leave so you can chat with him alone." She could tell Samuel was a little worried she would end up hurting Xander's feelings. So, she was in a dilemma right now.

Honestly, though, she did not mind Samuel watching over her-it even made her feel a little envious of the close bond between him and his brother. Unlike most wealthy families, where siblings often battle each other over property, these two truly cared about each other. "Fine, I'll answer."

She picked up the phone and, just for Samuel's benefit, put it on speaker.

"You don't need to put it on speaker. I'm not interested in listening," Samuel muttered under his breath.

Isabel shot him a look as the call connected and Kaleb's voice came through.

"I heard you got hurt. Are you okay? Is it serious?"

Samuel's eyes instantly flickered with concern, searching Isabel's face for any reaction. However, what he heard was her cool, distant tone.

"What's with the tone? Are you thrilled about this or something? Honestly, Kaleb, don't you have anything better to do than call and pretend to care?"

Samuel stifled a grin, quite enjoying her bluntness.

Kaleb, on the other hand, was silent for a moment, clearly taken aback.

"Isabel, why are you so hostile toward me? I'm just trying to check on you."

"Oh-" Isabel drawled, relaxing as she leaned back on the couch. "So, you care about me, and I'm just supposed to be grateful? So when you're kind, it's charity, and when you're not, it's somehow my fault? Who do you think you are? You think I'm supposed to revolve around you, Kaleb? There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why should I be stuck on you?"

Kaleb's expression darkened.

"Why are you saying all this? I just wanted to check if you're..." She cut him off abruptly, unbothered.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I don't have to accept your 'kindness, and please don't bother contacting me again."

Isabel added with a parting shot, "You're really annoying!"

Then she hung up."

Beep!
