After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 252 Xander Notices Isabel's Baby Bump

When Xander glanced at Isabel's stomach, Isabel immediately tensed up, thinking for a moment that he had noticed something. But who would have thought the man would suddenly blurt out such a remark? Was he trying to scare her to death?

Seriously though, wasn't that line just a little bit flirtatious?

Isabel stared at Xander's handsome face and thought to herself, It's only because you have such a good-looking face. If it were anyone else, I'd have punched him right then and there.

Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

Isabel stood in front of the mirror, gazing at her abdomen.

Was it just her imagination? Why did it feel like her lower belly was starting to show?

Logically, it shouldn't. It had only been a month and a half; it was way too early to be showing.

However, she was pregnant with triplets.

Isabel pulled a measuring tape out of the drawer and wrapped it around her waist.

It used to be exactly 24 inches. Now it measures 24.2 inches.

"It really has gotten just a tiny bit bigger."

Xander opened the door right as Isabel said that. His eyes immediately went to her exposed waist.

"Why didn't you knock?" Isabel asked.

"The door wasn't closed, so I just came in," Xander replied. As he spoke, his eyes remained glued to Isabel's waist.

So slender. So alluring.

"Being just a little bit thicker is better. Too skinny, and it might snap too easily."

Xander's mind drifted back to that rainy night. He remembered the ease with which he had lifted her waist-high. A disturbing thought flickered through his memory-what if he had been careless, his grip too tight, and he had hurt her? Isabel pulled her shirt down, covering her belly.

Deprived of the beautiful view, Xander frowned subconsciously.
