After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 235 Isabel Plays Coquettishly on Xander

Isabel looked up and caught Richie's surprised and disbelieving stare.

"What's wrong? Is the name Yolkie strange?" she asked.

Richie continued to look at her, his mind replaying a memory of a young girl's voice.

"Richard, look at this puppy's yellow fur. Let's name it Yolkie!"

Yolkie. Isabel had used the same name.

"Hey, what's going on? Even if my name choice isn't great, you don't need to look at me like that," Isabel said, eyeing him suspiciously.

"No, it's not that," Richie replied, snapping back to reality. His gaze softened as he looked at her. "Yolkie... It's a good name. It sounds nice."

Isabel smiled. "Of course, I came up with it."

"How did you come up with such a name?" Richie asked curiously.

"I used to love eating yolks when I was a kid," she said.

"You also loved yolks as a kid?" Richie asked in surprise.

"Huh? Who else likes yolks?"

Richie paused briefly, holding back the words that almost slipped out.

"Just an old friend," he finally said.

Isabel had a hunch it might be Leslie, but she decided not to bring it up.

She continued petting Yolkie and said, "Your fur feels so soft and smooth. From now on, I'm your owner!"

Look at this one. I named it Yolkie. Isn't it adorable? Its eyes even look like tiny black beads," Isabel said as she gently moved Yolkie's front paws. Xander frowned and instinctively stepped back, keeping a noticeable distance from her and
