Chapter 284 Xander Strongly Defends Isabel What the heck is going on? Early in the morning, Ivana was picking a fight with her for no reason at all. I hadn't done anything to provoke her.
After glaring at Isabel fiercely, Ivana turned to Xander.
"Xan, you can't be this heartless. Rachel is seriously ill-she's in the hospital! What harm would it do for you to visit her just once? Are you worried that Isabel will get jealous? If that's the case, then that woman is far too petty!" Ivana said, throwing another sharp glare at Isabel.
Isabel looked back at her with an innocent expression. She hadn't said anything, hadn't done anything-how was this all her fault? It was just like the saying goes: when you dislike someone, everything they do feels wrong, even if they do nothing at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIvana was feeling that way about her.
Rachel was sick? Isabel barely suppressed a smile.
While others might not understand why Rachel had fallen ill and been hospitalized, Isabel knew exactly what had happened.
It was definitely because of that pervert. Who knows what twisted, cruel things he did to torment Rachel the night before, causing her to end up in the hospital? "What are you laughing at?" Ivana snapped, fury burning in her voice. "You're so malicious! Rachel got sick because of you! You can laugh behind my back, but doing it in front of me? You think because Xan dotes on you, you can get away with anything?" Ivana's words were sharp and angry.
To be honest, if Ivana weren't Xander's mother, Isabel would have gladly shown her what it meant to ignore her. "Mom, this has nothing to do with Isabel. Stop taking your anger out on her." Every man has to deal with the tension between his wife and his mother and finds himself being caught in the middle. Xander wasn't the only one who had faced this difficult situation.
Of course, he had his sense of right and wrong.
This had nothing to do with Isabel, and Ivana was trying to pin the blon her. As her husband, Xander would stand by Isabel no matter what.
"Xan, why do you always protect her?" Ivana's anger deepened. The more Xander defended Isabel, the more Ivana grew to despise her.
Before Isabel entered the picture, Xander and Ivana had gotten along just fine.
But ever since Isabel had shown up, everything had started to fall apart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Rachel's illness is Isabel's fault. Before you two went on that trip, Rachel was fine. But after you cback, she was seriously ill. I heard from Rachel's friend that Isabel had been flaunting things in front of Rachel. Rachel must have gotten so upset that it made her sick." Xander frowned, clearly not buying into her theory. "Those are just your assumptions, and there's no actual proof, is there?" "I" Ivana was momentarily speechless, unable to find a response.
After a brief pause, Ivana glared at Isabel upstairs, then turned back Xander "Xan, letask you something. Are you going to protect her no matter what today? "I'm not defending her blindly," Xander said, his voice calm but firm.
"I'm standing on the side o fairness.
You have no evidence, and she hasn't done anything wrong. As hero m husband loan't just blindly side with you out of duty." "Fine, fine!" Ivana snapped, changing her tone. "But what if she is in the wrong?"
Xander lowered his gaze, thinking for a moment before speaking again, his I'm m her kusband. If voice resolute. "I'm her a she's at fault, V'Iftake responsibility for it." Isabel was slightly taken aback. She hadn't realized her mouth was slightly open, her eyes staring down at Xander in stunned silence. A rush of warmth and affection stirred in her chest.
"You... you" Ivana sputtered, trying to figure out what to say next. But m before she could speak, Xander's voice interrupted once again.
