Chapter 260 Hey, Xander

Samuel smacked his lips and took two steps back, his gaze shifting to Isabel.

He was certain this was Isabel's doing.

What truly baffled him was that Xander had gone along with her antics and let himself end up looking like this.

In Samuel's memory, Xander had never been one for flashy or gaudy clothes.

He distinctly recalled a New Year's Day years ago when Ivana had bought matching red down jackets for him and Xander, insisting they wear them to add a festive touch to the celebration.

Xander had flat-out refused to wear his, no matter what.

He was only ten years old at the time, and he already couldn't stand colorful clothing.

Now, at 30, Xander was wearing an outfit so outrageous that even Samuel struggled to accept it.

And with this whole getup? Samuel could guarantee that if Ivana were here, she wouldn't recognize her son.

As this thought crossed his mind, a faint sense of sadness washed over Samuel.

If Isabel ultimately didn't fall for Xander and ended up leaving him, Samuel couldn't even begin to imagine the aftermath. The way Xander indulged Isabel's every whim, completely smitten-what would he become if it all fell apart? Samuel also wondered what could be so wrong with Xander. After all this time, Isabel still hadn't fallen for him. Was she still hung up on Kaleb?

He immediately dismissed the thought.

Given the fallout between Isabel and Kaleb in recent days and Isabel's clear disdain for him, there was no way she was still carrying a torch for Kaleb.

Could it be that Isabel's heart is too scarred from past relationships? Maybe she's just afraid to start over.

Samuel convinced himself this was the most likely explanation. The next morning, he shared his theory with Xander.
