After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 216 Isabel's Pregnancy Is Discovered

"Isabel! You've been hiding something from me!"

Yvette's sharp voice echoed as her gaze fixated on Isabel's lower abdomen. Her eyes gleamed with curiosity, as though she wished she could see straight through Isabel's belly to uncover the truth. Uh-oh ...

This is awkward.

Isabel blinked a few times and said, "If I told you I bought it for you, would you believe me?"

Yvette grinned, mimicking Isabel's expression as she fluttered her eyelashes. "And if I told you the baby in my belly isn't Max's, would you believe me?"

Isabel was at a loss for words.

"Isabel, are you going to come clean or not?" Yvette planted her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at her friend.

At this point, if Isabel didn't confess, it would feel like she didn't see Yvette as one of her own.

"Fine..."

Isabel sighed and recounted the story.

"Aha! I knew it! Isabel, you really are my best friend, even closer than my sister! You're pregnant too-this is perfect! Now I won't be lonely during this journey."

No one was happier about Isabel's pregnancy than Yvette.

She peered at Isabel's belly again. "So, is it a boy or a girl?"

In Yvette's eyes, gender didn't really matter; she was simply curious.

"A boy," Isabel replied, gently patting her stomach.

"Oh my! That's wonderful! A perfect pair. Wait-no, we already have three girls in my family. That won't even things out." Yvette began to puzzle over it, but Isabel, biting her lip, decided to reveal the full truth. "Actually... I forgot to tell you earlier ... It's triplets."

"Oh, so it's-Wait, WHAT?" Yvette's face underwent a dramatic series of expressions in just one second.

"Triplets? Just like me?" Yvette squealed, pulling Isabel into a tight hug. "Isabel, I love you so much! You knew I'd be lonely having triplets on my own, so you decided to keep me company. And you even had three boys, just to pair with my girls! I'm the happiest woman alive!"

Hearing this, Isabel was utterly speechless. How was there any connection between her pregnancy and Yvette's? If anything, her triplets were thanks to Xander, not some "perfect coordination" with Yvette!
