After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 217 Max Breaks Into Kaleb's Home

When Isabel received Kaleb's call, Xander was still by her side.

To prevent any misunderstandings, Isabel immediately hung up without thinking twice.

"Who was it?" Xander glanced at her phone, his gaze darkening slightly.

"Oh, just a call from the telecommunication customer service hotline. They've been bugging me since yesterday about upgrading my plan. They must be trying to hit their targets at the end of the year," Isabel replied and shoved her phone into her pocket. Then, she swiftly changed the subject. "What do you want for dinner? I'll cook."

Xander's eyes lingered on her pocket, clearly not fully convinced.

"I'm serious! I'm not lying to you," Isabel declared, pulling out her phone to show him the call log.

Sure enough, the last call was from a customer service hotline just as she had said.

This wasn't the first time Isabel had dealt with this. Twice before, Kaleb's calls had caused major arguments between her and Xander.

To avoid a repeat, she had smartly saved Kaleb's name as a random customer service hotline number.

She silently patted herself on the back for her foresight.

Xander, finally satisfied, withdrew his suspicious gaze from her pocket.

"We'll eat out tonight. I've already reserved a place."

"Alright, I'll head upstairs to get ready," Isabel said.

Meanwhile, Kaleb stared blankly at his phone.

Why didn't she answer my call?

Does she hate me so much now that she wouldn't even answer my calls?

He exhaled a frustrated sigh, pressing his fingers against his temples.

For the longest time, Kaleb had assumed Isabel's indifference was just an act to play hard to get. But after everything that had happened recently, he felt her growing further and further away.

"Isabel truly has no feelings for me anymore?" he murmured to himself.
