Chapter 184 Xander Hears Isabel's Voice.

Seeing Isabel in such a fragile state, Kaleb felt a rush of relief that he had followed her. If someone else had approached with less noble intentions, she could have been in serious danger.

Kaleb's gaze lingered on the small opening of Isabel's blouse, where a button had come undone. It revealed a glimpse of her collarbone and the soft, pale skin of her neck.

Even though the outfit was modest and not overtly provocative, it didn't stop him from feeling an intense pull of attraction.

He hadn't noticed before, but today, her skin seemed so much lighter than he remembered. Eva's complexion was pale, but Isabel's was far more delicate, almost ethereal, like porcelain or the first tender leaves of a lotus flower breaking through a pond's surface after a rainstorm. It glowed softly, so pure it made one almost ache just to gaze at it.

Her breath came in uneven gasps, her chest rising and falling with each one. Her pulse was visible beneath the surface of her skin, as though the steady rhythm of her body was a mountain range in motion-peaks and valleys, alive with energy. Compared to Eva, Isabel wasn't just a small hill; she was a towering mountain, strong and undeniable.

Why have I never noticed this before?

Kaleb frowned, his mind drifting to Isabel's past.

It seemed that she had changed her style of clothing.

She used to dress conservatively, always in loose clothes that hid her shape, never bothering with makeup or style. She had seemed plain, unremarkable, even old-fashioned.

Back then, she was always compliant, never resisting him, always doing whatever he asked, except when in came to physical touch. She was someone who easily faded into the background

Unmemorable.

Eva, on the other hand, was a woman who knew when to be soft, when to take control, and when to wear something so irresistible it left no room for anything else but her.

It was no wonder Kaleb had eventually fallen for Eva's charms.

However, when Isabel became a more assertive and even cruel individual, causing harm to his mother and tormenting Eva, everything that had previously been manageable began to unravel. He had abandoned her without a second thought Puff puff. Isabel's breath was shallow, her lips slightly parted, her face flushed, as though she were cooked red with fever.

"You alright? Let me take you somewhere private to res Kaleb said, reaching out to support her.
