Chapter 451 Siblings Squabble
The hope was that the return of Greta’s and Hansel’s families would go smoothly.
Finished
Any complications could significantly reduce the Quirk family’s presence at the upcoming birthday banquet.
As for driving Dylan out, Lionel had no objections. If someone dared to raise a hand against their own family, there was no reason for them to stay. The Quirk family couldn’t afford to turn against each other.
Afterwards, Lionel visited the temple and even invited a priest to his home. Isabella was surprised to see that the Quirk family still held such beliefs.
That night, Alexander, in a sour mood, held Isabella in a long, melancholic embrace. Their lips locked in a lingering kiss, almost leading to unintended sex.
Isabella felt a soft whisper by her ear–it was Alexander’s voice. “Bella, I love you.”
Her entire body seemed to radiate with intense heat, as if she were in a steaming pot.

She cradled Alexander’s handsome face in her hands, showering him with flurry of kisses. Noticing his eyelashes trembling slightly, she asked, “What’s wrong?
Alexander sighed. “The priest mentioned that the Quirk family’s marriages and love affairs have been prone to problems these past couple of years, like a major calamity. Grandpa subtly suggested we postpone our wedding, fearing we might be affected too.”
Isabella’s cheeks flushed a deep red. They hadn’t formally discussed marriage, but things were already falling into place.
Suddenly, Alexander looked up and planted a kiss on her forehead, speaking earnestly, “I’ve been wanting to truly marry you. I was planning to wait until after Grandfather’s big birthday celebration…”
Isabella’s heart fluttered at his sincere mention of marriage. Although Alexander didn’t realize it, for her, that was the true proposal.
Overcome with emotion, Isabella couldn’t help but kiss Alexander’s lips. In a sweet murmur, she made a promise. “I don’t believe in all that, so… I’ll follow your lead
After she spoke, Isabella was suddenly overcome with shyness and quickly retreated under the blanket. In a moment of impulse, she had blurted it out, unsure of when she had become so willing to give herself completely to Alexander.
She wasn’t certain if she was head over heels in love, but she found herself completely trusting him without even realizing it.
That night, although they didn’t go all the way, they still tried to be as close to each other as possible.
Alexander seemed fixated on the idea of waiting. Even though Isabella showed no signs of resistance or fear, he still wanted to wait until their wedding night, in their bridal chamber, to consummate their marriage.
Despite not going all the way, Isabella was so exhausted that all she wanted to do the next day was lie down.

Chapter 451 Siblings Squabble
On this day, Isabella and the others continued to laze around and have fun.
Finished
It was a rare day when Jake and Eula were free, so they decided to visit. They suggested going out to have some fun, and Eula was particularly excited.
“I’ve noticed Bella and Chris often play games. So, how about we go watch a celebrity match today? We just happen to be in this city, and I’m the sponsor,” Eula proposed.
Isabella played games only occasionally, while Christopher was a real gamer.
Oh, so we’re going to meet her boyfriend who she won over with money?
Upon hearing this, both Christopher and Rosalie were intrigued.
Eula was quite straightforward. She began, “I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce you to my boyfriend. If he passes your scrutiny and you deem him worthy, I plan on bringing him to Grandpa’s upcoming birthday banquet.”
In truth, Eula was merely speaking in jest. She didn’t need their approval. The young lady was quite decisive on her own. She liked that man, and naturally, she wouldn’t concern herself with the opinions of others.
This time, it was simply about letting everyone get acquainted with her boyfriend in advance. It had been a long while since she last saw her boyfriend, she missed him dearly and wanted to see him.
However, her brother, Jake, wasn’t one to indulge her. He retorted, “So, if I don’t approve, you’re going to break up with him?”
Eula immediately squinted her eyes and replied, “You better be careful then. You still have a mysterious girlfriend on your side who needs vetting. If you don’t trip me up, I’ll make things easy for you.”
The siblings were at it again.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, everyone set off. Carlos, unable to tolerate the noisy environment, decided to stay behind. Janice had classes to attend, so in the end, it was Jake and Eula who accompanied Isabella to the gathering spot for young people to watch the esports celebrity’s match.
