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.

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

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