NovelEnglishChapter 21 Xander Kissed Her 243308 Tiffany, wide-eyed and transfixed, found herself standing up involuntarily at the sight of Xander Isabel watched all of Tiffany's reactions, confident that she did not need to step in; Tiffany was likely reeling with regret by now.
"Are you Xander? How can you be Xander? Isn't Xander supposed to be sugly brute with a receding hairline?" Tiffany blurted out in shock.
"Tiffany!" Morris scolded, gesturing for her to maintain decorum. He then turned to Xander, "My apologies for my daughter's rudeness, Mr. Bennett. She speaks without thinking" Xander gave Tiffany a brief, indifferent glance that lasted no more than a few seconds before turning away. "Gift," Xander directed his attention to Leo.
"Yes, Boss." Leo promptly retrieved a carefully selected gift and handed it to Xander.
Xander approached Albert, offering the gift with a blessing, "Old Mr. Perkins, happy birthday and may you live a long and prosperous life." "Thank you," Albert beamed, receiving the gift, knowing anything from the Bennetts had to be of significant value.

If such an outstanding man were to marry his granddaughter, he would find himself waking up with a smile even in the middle of the night.
"Now I can rest easy knowing Tiffany will be in good hands." Hearing this, Tiffany quickly approached, her gaze still locked on Xander, "Um, I'm sorry about that day I stood you up." Isabel stepped forward, cutting off Tiffany, "No need for apologies, in fact, I should be thanking you." "It's you!" Tiffany instantly recognized Isabel from their previous encounter in the mall.
Isabel arched an elegant eyebrow and replied coolly, "Yes, it's me." "You... Let go of his hand! He's my fiancé!" Tiffany's anger flared as she moved to pull Isabel away from Xander. Isabel not only refused to let go, but she tightened her grip instead. "He might have been your fiancé, but after you failed to show up for the registration, he married me. So now, he is my husband by law. Why would I let go?" "What?!" Tiffany stared at Isabel, her voice laden with disbelief. "How could this happen? How could you?" Isabel calmly pulled out a marriage certificate from her purse, displaying it for all to see. "Look, this is official. Xander and I are legally married. Here's our marriage certificate." Tiffany recoiled, her eyes widening as she caught sight of the document. The reality of the certificate in Isabel's grasp sent tremors through her.
Her heart sank with bitterness and regret.
"No, it should bewalking down the aisle with him, not you! Give him back tonow!" Isabel responded coolly, "Ms. Perkins, unfortunately, there's no undoing past choices, no matter how wealthy one might be." After saying that, she glanced at Xander, pleased to see his approving look, which lifted her spirits. "Let's leave, Darling," Isabel suggested with a warm smile.
"Sure," Xander agreed, his face lighting up with happiness as they prepared to exit the room.
Isabel was about to release his hand when Xander tightened his grip, signaling her to wait.
A bit puzzled, Isabel turned to him just in tto hear his hushed, compelling voice. "She's coming out now." Right after Xander said that, Isabel witnessed Tiffany hurrying out of the private room.
As Tiffany emerged from the room, her persistence was evident.
Yet, one could not entirely fault her; Xander's allure was undeniable.

"Xander, I apologize. It was a misunderstanding that day. I'm not usually so shallow. It was just the awful rumors -I was misled. I'm really sorry!! hope you can forgive me. I'll make it up to you," Tiffany pleaded, her cheeks flushing with urgency. How could she not feel anxious? Xander was the most striking man she had ever seen. His charm went beyond mere looks, carrying a regal aura that was rare and unmatched. If she let him slip away today, she would undoubtedly regret it forever!
"Ms. Perkins, our paths diverged the @show yo, day you failed to show up. Emo m married now. Please respect that and move on," Xander stated flatly. Anger flared in Tiffany's eyes as she glared at Isabel, the woman who had seemingly stolen her future.
"I refuse to believe this! Was this all an act? Did you bring her here to rub it in? I regret it already...
Before Tiffany could get all her words out, she saw Xander unexpectedly embrace Isabel.
