Chapter 210

"Ugh-" Isabel gagged, then her pupils suddenly dilated as she quickly covered her mouth.

Seeing Isabel's reaction, Xander froze for a moment. After a brief shock, his gaze fixed on her lower abdomen, as if he was trying to see through her skin. He was all too familiar with this reaction, having seen it before on Yvette.

He and Isabel had been intimate twice. The first time was in the rain one night, and afterward, Isabel had definitely taken the morning-after pill.

The second time was not long ago, when Isabel, drunk, seduced him, and he took her right there in the car.

When he thought about it, the timing seemed about right.

At this thought, Xander couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

"Just some gas," Isabel said, trying to sound casual. But her eyes betrayed her anxiety.

Xander squinted, studying Isabel's seemingly calm face. After a brief pause, he reached out and gently placed his hand on her lower abdomen.

Isabel instinctively pulled away.

Her reaction only fueled Xander's growing suspicion.

"I need to ask you something."

""What?" Isabel's heart was pounding in her chest.

"Suppose you get pregnant one day, would you keep it from me, like Yvette did?" Xander asked, his voice steady, but his dark eyes, reflecting Isabel's image, were fixed on her with piercing intensity, capturing every detail of her reaction.

Isabel's pupils dilated slightly, and her expression shifted slightly-so subtle that even a keen observer might miss it. Yet inside, her mind was in turmoil, overwhelmed by shock.

Why did he suddenly ask that? Did he remember what happened on that rainy night?

Isabel quickly analyzed the situation, her mind racing.

She thought Xander likely hadn't remembered everything-just a few scattered fragments. If he had truly recalled everything, he wouldn't have been so calm during this time. "Why would you ask something like that all of a sudden?"
