Secret Wedding 243

Chapter 243 Waiting for Her to Fall In Love

Xander lightly furrowed his brows, keeping a composed and calm expression as he met Isabel's intense stare. After a brief pause, he gestured towards Samuel. "I got it for him."

What?

Samuel appeared utterly confused, staring at his older brother.

Isabel was caught off guard and shifted her attention to Samuel, raising an eyebrow with a playful glint in her eyes.

"Samuel, you're full of surprises, aren't you? I never expected that. I usually see you by yourself and assumed you were a solitary person. But now that you've barely gotten back on your feet, things have moved so fast, huh?" Samuel's jaw dropped in disbelief, "No, I ... "

Before he could explain, Xander silenced him with just a glance.

What's happening here?

Such nonsense!

After dinner, Samuel went to Xander to have a word in private.

"Xander, what's going on? Are you hiding something from me?"

"If you're asking, then I might as well share something with you now."

Xander's tone was serious as he spoke to Samuel. "What happened in the car that night, you cannot tell her."

What? Samuel's eyes grew wide, and before Xander could explain further, they widened even more.

"Are you saying she doesn't know what you did to her that night? So you're ... "

"Lower your voice," Xander cut in as Samuel's voice began to rise.

Noticing Xander's glance toward the closed door, Samuel's suspicions grew stronger.

Isabel truly had no idea what happened that night.

"Xander, what's going on? I don't get it."

To Samuel, the relationship between Xander and Isabel sometimes felt very close, but at other times, it seemed off.

Xander furrowed his brow, a touch of sadness visible in his expression.
