After the Secret Wedding: Rise of My Queen Chapter 281 Isabel, I Can't Live Without You

Isabel was exhausted, her eyes closed as she tried to rest. When she heard the question come from Xander, her eyes snapped open and fell in shock.

At that moment, she didn't dare to struggle or try to move Xander's hand away from her stomach. She was afraid that any movement, no matter how small, would give her away, revealing something was wrong.

After a long silence, Isabel decided to remain still, pretending to be asleep, hoping he would think she hadn't heard anything.

"Isabel?" Xander whispered in her ear.

She stayed calm, her breathing slow and steady, trying to keep her heart from betraying her.

Has she fallen asleep?

Xander gently pulled her closer, wrapping her in his arms and kissing the top of her head several times with affection.

"Isabel, I can't live without you for the rest of my life," he murmured.

His voice, low and filled with emotion, was like a vow-a promise to never leave her as if no force on earth could tear them apart. Isabel felt a wave of emotion rise within her.

The more he told her these things, the more panicked she became.

As her mind raced with a million thoughts, she suddenly felt his hand on her chest.

The sensation of his palm there made Isabel want to scream in frustration.

All that earlier tenderness? Gone.
