After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 182 Running Into Kaleb While Drunk

Sell's eyes were locked on Isabel's neck, captivated by the smoothness of her fair skin and the elep curve of her throat. The flush of alcohol on her face only added to her allure, making her seem even more enchanting. Every part of her seemed to make Seff's thirst grow stronger. He grabbed a drink and gulped it down the cold liquid sliding down his throat.

As the drink settled, his mind flashed back to a time when Isabel had been drunk before. She had started to undress, and though she only removed her jacket to reveal a simple t-shirt beneath, the sight had set his heart racing Even now, thinking about it, he felt a warmth spreading across his face and his pulse quickening

"Boss, when are you planning to divorce Xander?" Seff asked urgently, his voice tinged with frustration. T heard from Beowulf that you already got the emerald guardian angel pendant, right?"

He couldn't help but feel impatient. The woman he had feelings for was married to another man-not just married, but living with him.

Worse still, that man seemed to care for Isabel too, and Seff couldn't bear it

At the mention of "Xander," Isabel instinctively furrowed her brows, the memory of the previous day flooding back.

In the past, Xander would occasionally take advantage of her when she wasn't paying attention. It would irritate her for a moment, but she'd forget about it quickly.

But yesterday was different-his forceful manner had felt like he was trying to break her. The discomfort it caused her was profound, and it pushed her to put distance between them.

"I signed a contract with him. After a year. I'll divorce him." Isabel replied.

"You're going to wait a whole year? Seff couldn't accept that. "Why sign a contract with him in the first place?"

Isabel took out the emerald guardian angel pendant from under her shirt and showed it to him. "This w the condition," she said flatly. "Boss, please, promise me you won't let him sweep you off your feet before that year is up!' Self nearly shouted, his anxiety palpable. "You're overthinking it. I- Isabel paused, her voice catching slightly. Tll never have a future with him."

She was a strong-willed woman, and Xander shared the same dominating nature. From the start, their personalities had never meshed. She believed a man like Xander, who dealt with the weight of the world, needed a soft and virtuous woman by his side to care for him. She was not that woman.
