After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 267 Do You Have No Shame? Ugh-

The moment Isabel saw the man's expression, she knew exactly what made him so happy.

Xander approached Isabel, his eyes filled with affection and amusement, never breaking eye contact. Isabel felt her ears flush red with heat under his gaze.

She had purposely said that earlier to annoy Rachel and the others, but she hadn't expected Xander to show up at that exact moment-and, of course, overhear her words. How embarrassing!

Luckily, Isabel had thick enough skin to hold her ground.

"Let's go," Xander said, reaching out to grab her wrist.

Isabel blinked in confusion. "Where? What for?"

Xander smiled at her, his voice deliberately dropping a few notes lower, carrying just the right amount of teasing.

"To the woods."

His deep, smooth voice sent a shiver through everyone who heard it, making it almost impossible to resist the temptation in his tone.

All the girls presence was completely captivated by his voice, losing themselves in his rich, velvety tone.

Isabel regained her composure and glanced at Rachel and the others. Thankfully, she was used to hearing his voice, so she had a bit of immunity. Otherwise, she'd be just as enchanted as the others. She even noticed one girl drooling.

"Are you serious?" Isabel asked, raising an eyebrow.

Without explaining further, Xander simply pulled Isabel toward the woods, leaving a group of stunned onlookers behind.

They were heading into the woods!

A man and a woman, alone in the woods ... What else could they be doing? There was no denying the obvious.

"How shameless!" Harriet couldn't help but speak out for Rachel.

Rachel looked as though she was about to cry, and anyone who saw her would feel a wave of sympathy.

"Rachel, don't worry. Let's go after them. I want to see if that shameless b*tch dares to flirt with Xander in front of us!" Harriet said angrily.

"Forget it, they're... I'm just an outsider ... "Rachel replied, her face a picture of frustration.

Her response only made Harriet feel even more protective of her. Vernon and the others also vowed to stand up for Rachel.

"Let's go, we'll follow them!"

A group of people marched toward the woods.

Meanwhile, Xander had Isabel backed up against a tree.

"What are you doing? Why so rough?" Isabel asked, her eyes wide with caution.

This man wouldn't do this, would he? This is a remote area-sparse as it is, it doesn't mean they couldn't be seen later! And it's broad daylight!

Wait a minute what am I thinking? Even if it was nighttime, this still wasn't okay!

"Why? Did I hurt you?" Xander asked, looking at her.

He said this as he slipped his hand inside her shirt and started to massage her.

Isabel's ears turned a deep red. This guy-he put his hand inside and went all the way.

"Do you have no shame?!" Isabel tried to push him away, but he didn't budge. No matter how hard she tried, he wouldn't move.

Isabel twitched her lips, speechless. Then, she looked up at him, but before she could say anything, Xander spoke first.

"No shame? Weren't you the one who said we were a perfect match just earlier? Hmm?" Xander said, his handsome face breaking into a playful smile.

Isabel blinked, playing innocent. "Really? I didn't know that. Who said that?"

Seeing her pretend to be clueless, Xander's expression shifted to one of both amusement and disbelief. Every time she played the fool, she did it so effortlessly.

But he couldn't help but find her antics endearing.

No, wait. He did have a way to handle her.

A smile curled on his lips, and a wicked glint danced in his eyes.

"Since you won't admit it, I guess I'll have to make you."

Without giving Isabel a chance to think, Xander lowered his head and captured her lips, taking the kiss he'd long desired.noveldrama

Isabel's eyes widened in shock. How could this man-without warning-just kiss her? One second, he was speaking, and the next, his lips were on hers, and he was kissing her passionately. And this time, it wasn't just a kiss-he was pushing forward, leaving her dizzy and breathless.

Isabel felt as though her sense of self slipping away as time seemed to drag on, she became completely consumed by him.

Xander's eyes became half-closed, gazing at the girl in front of him. Her pupils were dazed, her emotions gradually deepening into an overwhelming tide.

His chest suddenly rose and fell with the rush of his breath.

Unable to control himself any longer, Xander moved, both hands sliding inside her clothing.

Where is he touching?

Isabel shuddered, her eyes widening in surprise. She instinctively pushed against his shoulders with all her strength, but in doing so, she tripped over an exposed tree root. Her body lurched forward and she collided with his chest.

At that moment, her instincts kicked in, and she wrapped her arms around his lean waist to steady herself.

Had this been any other time, falling wouldn't have been a big deal. But now, with three babies inside her, she couldn't be careless.

"Oh my God! She's shameless!" Harriet's voice rang out as she arrived on the scene.

From a distance, Isabel's face was pressed to Xander's chest, giving the appearance of someone who was demanding something from him.

Rachel clenched her fists, fury practically burning in her eyes as she glared at Isabel.

"So, this is what it's really like. No wonder Rachel has been hurt so badly... this woman has no shame," one of the girls muttered under her breath.

"Yeah, seriously. It's broad daylight, in the woods like that... I can't even believe she has the nerve," another said, shaking her head.

The whispers and insults only grew nastier, their words cutting deeper with each passing second.

Xander's eyes darkened as he cast a cold, assessing glance over those who had spoken ill of Isabel.

Max shook his head, mentally cursing at the group. These idiots can't see how much Xander adores Isabel. Insulting her in front of him is practically asking for trouble.

Isabel listened to the cruel words, she lifted her hand to Xander's shoulder and used him to regain her balance.

"My husband and I loved to be affectionate. What does it matter to you? Don't you have anything better to do?" She snapped, turning to face them.

"You have no shame!" Harriet pointed an accusing finger at her.

Isabel raised an eyebrow, her expression cool. "Oh? Xander and I are legally married. So why would hugging and kissing be shameless? Did your parents never show affection? How do you think you came into the world?"

"Y-you!" Harriet stood speechless, caught off guard by Isabel's sharp retort. She quickly glanced at Rachel before continuing, "You're still shameless! Xander belongs with

Rachel. They're meant to with neg

together. You're just the

be

no

homewrecker!"

Isabel chuckled softly, a sound of disbelief.

"What's so funny?" Harriet demanded.

"Your words, of course," Isabel said with a smile. I told you already, that Xander and are legally married. Are you saying I'm a mistress? Are you mocking the law? As for Xander and RacheDbeing a perfect match? Before I showed up, they were just friends. Are you telling me Xander secretly had feelings for Rachel?"

"No, we're not," Xander said firmly, gripping Isabel's shoulders. His gaze met hers with a depth of emotion that seemed to encompass the whole world.
