Chapter 188 The Sweetest Moment

isabel's heart raced with shock as her eyes widened.

So he really took advantage of me!

Last night, you were determined to undress, and I had no choice but to hold you tightly to stop you. Even then, you still struggled to get free. Maybe it was all that squirming that left you sore, Xander explained, careful to leave out some details.

He knew Isabel would react badly if he told her the whole truth. From their past experiences, he could already predict what would happen if he was too honest

He remembered how she had avoided confronting their intimate moments before, keeping her feelings hidden-likely because she wasn't ready for something more serious.

"Is that all? Isabel asked, tilting her head, not sure if she was being toyed with.

"What were you expecting? Xander responded with a teasing smile.

Her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Forget it. I'm... hungry. Where's the fruffle bisque? And the caviar?" Isabel quickly changed the topic.

She felt mortified. I knew he's a good guy. He'd never do such a thing to me.

Even when they were caught in the rain and he had a fever, angry and exhausted, he had done nothing to sher. He only acted after she gave her consent.

She felt like burrying herself in a hole somewhere.

Xander felt a wave of relief as Isabel walked downstairs, holding her stomach. At least the awkwardness had passed.

But there was one thing he still needed to do.

"Isabel."

"Hm?" She turned back, curious.

Xander took a deep breath, his face serious. "I'm sorry."

Isabel froze, her mind racing as she struggled to find the right words. Before she could respond, Xander spoke again.

"I shouldn't have been jealous. I trust you now... I see that you've truly moved on from Kaleb."

Last night, Isabel had left Kaleb humiliated on the floor and spoken harshly to him, words fueled by anger and frustration. She wasn't just annoyed with him; she was disgusted. Isabel smiled at him, her heart lifting. "It's okay. I forgive you."

Only she knew how relieved she was to hear him say that. She felt an immense weight lift off her chest.
