Grand Return of Alexander Fitzgerald : The Great Son-In-Law

Isabella eyed him skeptically. "That doesn't look like 'some work matters' to me, but I hope everything is okay?"

Ruben reassured her with a nod. "Yes, it is. Just some demands, and I didn't want you to feel some type of way, that's why I took it quietly."

Isabella smiled, appreciating his consideration. "Oh, okay, babe. But it's totally fine."

Ruben gently kissed her hand, trying to shift the focus back to a more lighthearted mood, and they continued with their meal. After the satisfying dinner, Isabella freshened up and joined Ruben on the bed, and they had sex.

As they shared a moment of intimacy, Isabella found herself unable to completely escape the thoughts about Alex. His unexpected appearance earlier in the day and the upcoming meeting cast a subtle shadow over the otherwise intimate and peaceful evening.

Afterwards, as they lay in each other's arms, Isabella couldn't shake the lingering unease.
