After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 269 Isabel's Slightly Swollen Belly

As soon as Isabel finished speaking, Xander's hand reached out.

Isabel didn't think much of it, quickly placing the woven flower ring onto his finger.

"It looks great; I'm quite crafty," Isabel said, admiring the ring as she held his hand.

Xander's eyes were half-closed. His deep, dark eyes reflected the ring on his finger, a faint, somber light glimmering in them.

Noticing Xander's silence as he stared at the ring for a long while, Isabel couldn't help but wonder, What's he doing? Why does he like it so much? Wait a second!

Suddenly, it hit her. Her pupils widened, and she quickly reached out to take the ring off Xander's finger.

Isabel was quick, but Xander was quicker.

He pulled his hand back and hid it behind his back.

"You put it on for me; I'm not taking it off."

Isabel was speechless.

"It's just a simple woven ring, why are you making a big deal out of it?" She muttered as she eyed the back of Xander's hand, looking for a chance to remove the ring. "You made it yourself and gave it to me," he said, his gaze locking onto Isabel's.

In his deep, ocean-like eyes, Isabel saw only herself. Her reflection filled his gaze, as though nothing else existed in the world.

As she stared back, her heart started to race.

Isabel quickly snapped herself out of the moment, trying not to get lost in his gaze.

"Ahem! I'm hungry. Are you? Let's go eat something," she said, trying to change the subject.

Xander could tell she was avoiding something and had noticed the faint blush she was trying to hide.

A small smile tugged at his lips, and his expression lightened.

"Yeah, I'm hungry too," he said as he took her hand.

Isabel glanced down at their entwined fingers. Before she could say anything, Xander spoke up first.

"Earlier, someone said we're a match made in heaven, meant to be together. If we're a perfect pair, we shouldn't be separated." Xander tightened his grip.
