After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 311 Jealous, but Won't Admit It

Thud!

Isabel's heart ached, and her pupils trembled despite her best efforts.

She fought it.

She fought to hold back the surge of emotions.

"W-what did you just say?"

"Nothing, it's nothing. Sorry, I just lost control for a moment," Richie said, quickly looking away from Isabel.

His gaze dropped to the candy in his hand, frowning in deep thought.

Leslie... where are you?

When will I be able to see you again?

Isabel's gaze also lingered on the candy in Richie's hand. She could feel what he was thinking at that moment.

Her mood sank as she lowered her head, pouting slightly while bitterness rose in her mouth.

Luckily, Richie was lost in his own emotions and didn't pay attention to Isabel. Otherwise, he might have sensed something amiss.

The atmosphere in the office grew heavier, more suffocating.

Buzz, buzz. Isabel's phone, tucked in her pocket, vibrated.

The vibration broke the silence, pulling both Isabel and Richie back to reality.
