After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 251 She Wasn't Pregnant

D*mn it, d*mn it, d*mn it!

Eva felt humiliated, like a fool, completely disregarded by Kaleb.

This was all Isabel's doing!

This was all Isabel's doing!

Kaleb moved slowly toward the harp, his eyes fixed on Isabel below him.

The girl had delicate, almost flawless features: a small nose, soft pink lips, and skin that seemed to glow with a fair radiance. His gaze drifted down to her hands, resting gracefully on the strings, slender and elegant, her nails unpolished but radiating a soft natural pink hue.

Without warning, the sound of the harp ceased.

Isabel looked up at Kaleb, puzzled. Why was he staring at her like that? Did he think she was playing games again?

Rising to her feet, Isabel met his gaze without any emotion and said, "Don't overthink it. I just felt like playing a bit more. I wasn't trying to seduce you."

She paused for a moment before adding, "Well, I'm done now. I should be going."

With that, she didn't spare him another look and simply turned, brushing past him as she walked away.

A strand of her dark hair lightly grazed Kaleb's nose, releasing a subtle fragrance that wasn't like the perfumes Eva often wore, but rather a natural, personal scent. She had a natural scent? After all these years together, he never noticed it!

The stray hair floating in the air instantly captured Kaleb's focus, making him reach out instinctively, trying to stop Isabel from leaving.

Just as his hand neared hers, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around Isabel's waist, pulling her toward him.

The event unfolded so unexpectedly that no one saw it coming.

Isabel tripped and collapsed into the man's firm, wide chest.

She froze for a second, then quickly gathered herself, hearing his rich, smooth voice come from above her. "What's taking so long to get upstairs?"

At his words, Isabel nervously scratched her neck, a slight blush spreading across her face.

Kaleb stood there, his hand still extended in the air, his face filled with discomfort and embarrassment.

"It's not my fault. Some people just have faces that beg to be slapped, and I'm too kind to turn them down," Isabel said, her voice playful and teasing, making Xander smile. However, to Eva and Cindy, her words were a direct insult, and it stung more than ever.

"Let's head upstairs."

"Sure."
