Isabella’s lips had just parted to speak when Xavier cut in without hesitation. “What happened to Noah has nothing to do with

Isabella.”

“Nothing to do? Or you just don’t want it to have anything to do with her?” Teresa shot him a sharp look “Isabella was the only one with Noah when it happened.”

“Linda was there too,” Xavier replied, his tone calm but carrying a weight that easily overrode Teresa’s presence

Isabella felt a quiet surprise–Xavier had smoothly redirected attention toward Linda.

Then again, after his very public fallout with Stanley, whether Xavier believed her or not, they were on the same side now

‘Linda has no reason to hurt Noah…”

‘And neither does Bella.”

Before Teresa could finish, Xavier answered coolly.

But the nickname he used caught Isabella off guard. The next moment, he pulled her arm, drawing her firmly against his side

Almost instinctively, she rested a hand on his waist.

(avier glanced down, his cool gaze lingering briefly on her face. Isabella felt a slight flutter in her chest.

She understood what he was doing and fought the urge to pull away.

Now she wanted to see exactly how Xavier planned to get her out of this.

Bella?” Teresa scoffed. “What’s this? The woman who was talking about divorce not long ago–changed her mind already?

She even threw the diamond ring on the floor. I thought she had some backbone.”

is she spoke, Teresa let her eyes drop to Isabella’s hand.

Sure enough, the ring wasn’t there.

“Couples argue–it happens,” Xavier said casually, his expression unreadable as he drew Isabella closer. “If Bella doesn’t like omething, she should toss it. We can always buy something she prefers.”

“How devoted Teresa mocked. “If there’s no way Isabella could’ve hurt Noah, then why not let the police handle t

“We can certainly call the police,” Isabella spoke up, offering feresa a polished, practiced smile “But the ones being forstgated

“After all, I rer all Stanley has always been on good terms with the Allens I’m sure Xavier is just concerned that making this pubins might embarrass both families”

Teresa fell silent, studying Isabella for a long moment before a faint gleans of amusement fin kered it hereves

This girl had gotten much sharper with her words than before

She remembered when Isabella first came into the Moore family timid, always trailing meekly behind Xavier, quiet and obedient

Even when people gave her looks or made subtle remarks, she never dared to talk back.

Back then, though the Moores never warmed up to her, they at least never openly disrespected her to her face.

The reason was simple: Xavier was fiercely protective.

No matter how he might have seemed to look down on her, if Isabella ever received the slightest ill treatment in the Moore household, Xavier would later make sure it was repaid tenfold.

But Isabella probably never knew any of that.

Otherwise, things between her and Xavier wouldn’t have ended up the way they did.

Still, the way the two were acting now genuinely puzzled Teresa. Did Xavier actually have feelings for her, or was this just another layer of protection?

If it was just protection, she could understand. But if it was something more…

Could Xavier really care about someone that way?

“Teresa, please don’t be upset. Until everything’s completely clear, Xavier can’t make any decisions either.”

Seeing the tension hanging in the air, Linda stepped forward kindly, trying to ease the situation.

But Teresa only gave her a cold sidelong glance. “Being nice will only get you so far. I’ve always said–quiet women can’t compete with the bold ones. You’d better start thinking about your own future sooner rather than later.”

Linda lowered her head slightly, her delicate features drawn into a picture of quiet helplessness.

Just then, Harry wheeled Noah out of the operating room.
