Chapter 121 I Am Quite The Clever One

Thunder roared across the sky.

Should I really respond to your ex-girlfriend's email as your wife? Is this truly all right?

Isabella's brain was truly about to overheat.

What exactly was Alexander implying? That was all she could think about.

Initially, the email had been opened by accident. The initial plan was to feign ignorance, allowing Alexander to discover and deal with it discreetly on his own.

However, Alexander brought out the big guns and even questioned her about it.

Could he be hinting that his first love is returning, and I should step aside?

Alexander frowned as rage surged through him.

Meanwhile, Selena and Rosalie were rendered speechless.

No, what he was asking was how I, as his wife, should respond

Alexander thought, "Calm down, you'd better think this through!

Selena and Rosalie hardly dared to breathe, their emotions fluctuating wildly. Their hearts were pounding anxiously in their chests.

Selena thought, "Bella, as a wife, you should naturally exude the dignity of a married woman. Warn them, a proper ex should act dead, no need to even show up at the funeral."

Rosalie thought, "Bella! Alex is showing you that he's completely honest and transparent when he asked you to reply. He won't have any

lingering attachments to his ex. Isn't that a great sense of security? Even though Alex didn't value you in the past, don't give up on him. Seize the opportunity, eliminate the potential risks! Tell his ex to get lost!"

Unfortunately, Isabella couldn't hear the sincere words from Selena and Rosalie. Being someone who had been alone for so long, her mind was as muddled as oatmeal. Deep down, she even felt a hint of excitement and curiosity. Are we really doing this?

When Alexander saw Isabella's eyes widen like bronze bells, his heart softened. His voice became gentle, with a touch of indulgence, as he said, "You can respond however you want."

Isabella's eyes flickered, her inner thoughts running wild like galloping horses, impossible to rein in.

Is that so? Well, here's my standard response: All right, I'll wait for you.

Alexander froze.

Perhaps a response fitting a domineering CEO would be: It was you who wanted to part ways back then, so we did. Now, you want to come back. What do you take me for! 12:09 Sun, Oct 6 ti

Here's a stubsion: you don't love me, then don't say another word and don't bother seeing me again.

Alexander felt a surge of frustration.

Here's another coy response: Tin not divorced yet."

Alexander revealed a kind smile.

Or perhaps...

Selena and Rosalie thought. "Enough, enough, our hearts can't take it anymore, sob sob."

"Honey, have you made up your mind?" Alexander suddenly interrupted Isabella's wild fantasies.

Upon hearing the term 'honey, a shiver ran through Isabella. Although she often playfully called Alexander hubby, and he played along, he had seldom addressed her as his 'honey' directly.

What's up with him? Why is he suddenly calling me honey? Did he take the wrong pills? Was he stirred up by the news that his er wanted to see him again?

Alexander thought, "No, you provoked me!"

Selena and Rosalie: It's you, it's you, it's you!

Isabella looked at Alexander in disbelief, suddenly realizing that although he was smiling, there was something odd about his gaze. She didn't understand it but inexplicably, Isabella's instincts were screaming at her that he was very dangerous at the moment. Chills ran down Isabella's body.

"S-Should I give her a piece of my mind?"

Alexander's eyes twinkled slightly, about to speak, when he heard Isabella retract her words. "She didn't really make any unreasonable demands. It seems a bit much to scold her, so... should we just pretend we didn't see it and not respond?" Neither side is really at fault, right? It's the perfectly safe answer. I must say, I'm quite clever!

Instantly deflated, Selena and Rosalie couldn't discern Isabella's intentions. They were unsure if she was acting this way out of fear of angering Alexander, testing his patience, or simply no longer caring about

him.

der quietly gazed at Isabella with his profound black eyes for a moment: His stare was so intense that Isabella began to doubt herself. In the end, he simply lowered his gaze and responded with an emotionless "Hmm".

-He seemed unhappy.

sabella couldn't quite grasp his intentions, but she had handed the decision-making power back to Alexander nonetheless.

As she lifted her gaze, she saw Selena and Rosalie staring at her curiously. Isabella felt somewhat embarrassed. As she walked over, Rosalie, unable to contain her excitement, exclaim, "Bella, why didn't you respond? You should have retorted!" B:81%

"Huh? Do you know who it is? And you want me to retort?"

Anyone would be confused if they had only listened to her and Alexander's conversation.

Instantly, a wave of panic washed over Rosalie. Without missing a beat, Selena chimed in, "Do we even need to ask? Judging by your expressions, it's clear that it has something to do with the group we just encountered. You should definitely give them a piece of your mind Immediately, Rosalie gave a mental thumbs-up to her mother's quick thinking.

Isabella chuckled. "It's not them."

Naturally, Selena and Rosalie, didn't dare to add more to the conversation. She felt it wasn't the right time. to stick around. Hastily, she made up an excuse to leave, giving the two some space.

"I need to use the restroom, Rosie, come with me."

"All right."

The two of them slipped away in an instant

While internally rolling her eyes, Isabella returned to tidy up the area around the couch and coffee table.

Wouldn't it be foolish of me to retort? Regardless of what Alexander is currently thinking, whether intentional or not, I insult her and they reconcile, I'd be the villain, stuck in an impossible situation. I might even risk backlash for offending his first love, possibly having to pay Alexander, who was about to delete the email, was speechless.

Alexander gave Isabella a cold look, noticing her humming a tune carelessly while she sorted through the valuable items she had just confiscated. This sight made him feel as though he couldn't breathe properly.

He averted his gaze, his face devoid of any expression. With a swift movement, he grabbed the mouse with his left hand and clicked to respond.

He then swiftly typed on the keyboard using only his left hand.

Although he wasn't left-handed, he was in fact equally adept with both hands. However, he chose to keep this little secret to himself.

"My name is Isabella, Mrs. Quirk. I would prefer if you refrain from meeting my husband again. Please, stop reaching out to him."

Sent!

The corners of Alexander's mouth curved upwards, much like someone who had successfully pulled off a prank. However, upon lifting his head and seeing Isabella, he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

"Let's go, we'll eat out today. What do you feel like having?" Alexander subtly offered as compensation. Afterwards, they went out for a lavish meal with their family.

Upon seeing the response to her email, a hint of mockery flashed across the lips of Eleanor, who was located overseas.

Upon seeing this, her best friend couldn't help but express her indignation. "What on earth? Does she really think she's Mrs. Quirk now? I heard she only married Alexander through manipulation; otherwise. they would have had a wedding ceremony by now. Alexander's frie some nerve."

After all, Alexander was a man who greatly valued his personal boundaries. Even in the wouldn't dare to casually check Alexander's emails or meddle with his phone.

past, Eleanor

Eleanor sneered lightly and said, "That's great. Such an idiot. She will be easy to deal with. Seeing how foolish she is, I feel at ease.

"Then you should immediately get in touch with Alexander, and expose her little charade."

Eleanor confidently put away her phone. "That won't do, I won't reach out to Alexander anymore. The next time I appear before Alexander, he will understand the hardships I've been through."

Her friends shared a laugh. "You're right, Alexander will be very surprise by your return. By then, when you show him this email, you'll expose that woman's scheming and ugly face in public. Alexander will surely despise her even more, and then he'll feel sorry for you. Who Eleanor flashed a smile, one that hinted at her strategic mastermind.

At that moment, Isabella sneezed heavily.

Stepping forward, Alexander draped his own jacket over Isabella, asking, "Are you cold?"

Isabella rubbed her nose. "No, someone must be talking about me. Could it be the band of wives?"

Alexander furrowed his brows.

Just as she was lost in thought, her cell phone rang.

Isabella picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from Danielle.
