Chapter 229 A Disgusting Scene

Isabel's attention instinctively fell on Xander's exposed chest.

His well-defined pecs and abs were flawless.

This guy was definitely trying to seduce me!

Did he think I was that easy to tempt?

I wouldn't look!

While Isabel's mind struggled, her body betrayed her, and she couldn't control her gaze, which remained fixed on him.

"Hm?" The man's deep, magnetic voice was so captivating.

Startled, Isabel snapped out of her daze. Once she regained her composure, she remembered she had left her earlier words unfinished.

"We're in a contract marriage, limited to one year. It's not a real marriage, and we're not even boyfriend and girlfriend. Yet, you keep kissing me and taking advantage of me. Don't you think that's inappropriate?" Xander's dark eyes locked onto her without blinking. After a moment of silence, he said, "Fine. From now on, you're free to return everything I've done to you."

Isabel's mouth fell open slightly. Her gaze drifted from the man's extraordinarily handsome face down to his sharp jawline, then further down to his Adam's apple that exuded masculine charm. And then... Ugh. This was a vicious cycle.

Finally, Isabel rubbed her temples.

Return it? Wouldn't that just put her in the same situation again?

"Anything else?" she asked.

"No," Xander replied decisively.

Forget it. Clearly, this conversation was going nowhere.

The moment Xander left the room, Yvette snuck in with a sly grin plastered on her face. Her teasing gaze made Isabel's scalp tingle.
