bella's mind completely shut down. She did not even wonder why Alexander's words always seemed answer her inner questions
After Alexander was finished with his little speech, a wave of embarrassment washed over him. His ears turned pink, and the color began to spread across his tire face. He looked at Isabella nervously:
In truth, he was also scared. He feared that if he confessed his true feelings, the current Isabella might start avoiding him
However, in onder for the two of them to start afresh, he needed to speak his mind.
Alexander was on edge as he watched her for a reaction. He thought he would hear some heartfelt confession from her, but instead, Isabella blinked and pushed him away.
A knot formed in Alexander's throat
Upon seeing Isabella's eyes fl with panic, he let out a nervous laugh. "Huh? Really*
Alexander felt wronged "If you don't want to say yes right now or if you want to think it over, that's fine........
but please don't reject me just like that... This is the first time I've ever felt this way about a girl"
Isabella looked up at Alexander. His face was creased with concern. She felt flustered. She had never faced this kind of situation before.
If there were no feelings involved, weighing the pros and cons of a wedding would be simple. Money and lust were acceptable reasons, but when emotions got stirred into the mix, she felt like as if she were deceiving him of his wealth, lust, and love. At her core, Isabella had a deep respect for true emotions
She did not know how to respond to Alexander's sudden confession of love.
Why have the tables suddenly turned? Wasn't he supposed to be the aloof one? Wasn't he supposed to be an unattainable mant l'aint he emotionally detached
Frankly, Isabella's reaction was expected
So Alexander decided to take a step back and give her some space
"habella, you don't have to answer me now. Consider this my pursuit of you. We can take our time getting to know each other. When the day comes that you're ready, let me know, and then, we'll have our wedding"
Alexanders retreat proved to be a good move. Isabella breathed a sigh of relief.
Instead of barging rudely into her life, he was choosing to knock on the door of her heart.
Isabella hated making difficult decisions.
"Sure, that's that's line

After saying that she quickly slipped away, clearly not wanting to face the situation.

Although Alexander was disappointed. he did not try to trop her. He just let Isabella escape into the house.
When he walked through the front door, all trace of tabella has disappeared. There was not even a
chisper of her being to be heard. It seemed she had hidden herself in the bedroom.
Yet, she clearly had not eaten enough for dinner that night. Normally, by this time, she would have already sought mit the household help for a late night snack, bur now, she was nowhere to be seen. Alexander chuckled and set off to replace the housekeeper, Suddenly, he realized that the house was eerily empty. Where
Since the get-together ended early, the family should have been hanging around downstairs,
I felt strange. As Alexander walked pass a room, he heard noise coming from inside. It sounded like a lot of people were talking
Alexander turned and found himself looking at security control room.
He pushed the door open.
"Isabella is not crazily in love with Alexander. Would she really leave him?" Rosalie asked, her voice breaking in sorrow,
"What should we do? I'm so fond of Bella! I don't want her to leave the Quirk family," Evian fretted.
"Don't panic! She hasn't rejected him yet. I have faith in Alexander!" Christopher said.
"Could this be the great pursuit of love?" Selena added
"No, no, no, it should be called falling in love too late David countered
"Aren't they already a married couple?" Callahan asked.
"I believe that Ms. Isabella still feels love for Mr. Alexander. They just need some time to sort things out," said the butler.
"Exactly! They never really dated properly. Perhaps Ms. Isabella just wants Mr. Alexander to woo and pursue her," said the housekeeper.
It was a sight to behold. The entire family was there, watching the events unfold live from the security control room. They were completely engrossed with the gossip.
When they saw Alexander's car parked out front for such a long time, they became curious. They did not want to disturb the couple and interrupt an intimate moment. So, they decided to take a peek though the security cameras and found something to gossip about The entire Quirk family knew that the relationship between Alexander and Isabella was slowly improving Alexander was beginning to treat his wife better as the days go by.
However, it was difficult for the Quirk family to associar the term "Tallen in love with Alexander. When they heard those words come out of his mouth, the entire family was shocked.

They had assumed that the pair's relationship would grow closer after Alexander issued an explanation at the get-together to clear off misunderstandings. However, they had not expected such words from the normally vilem Alexander People often commented that he was swift and decisive in his work, but they had not expected his approach to romance to be the same
Everyone wat deep in a heated diu ussion when they suddenly noticed someone watching them. All heads turned in unison to see Alexander standing at the door, his face a blank canvas. It seemed he had reached. the pinnacle of embarrasment, leaving him unable to gract.
Being caught gossiping was not something the Quirk family wok embarrassed about.
The first to speak, was Christopher. "It's okay, brother, keep your spirits up and be strong. I suggest you ask her out on a date tomorrow. After a few dates, she'll start to recall the affection she once had for you!"
Rosalie immediately countered. "No, no, she's been avoiding us all evening. I think we should give her some time to process things. Take it slow. If you push a girl too hard, it might just backfire on you." Christopher turned to Rosalie and argued, "That's what you think, but she's not like you."
Rosalie retorted, "And you're not Alexander either. Besides, considering your track record with pursuing girls, maybe you should refrain from giving advice"
Christopher nearly blew up in anger. "You can't be the one to suggest ideas either! Your dating history is also filled with failures."
Seeing that a fight was about to start between her siblings, Evian interjected, "I think..."
The two of them glared at her. Their eyes clearly warning her to stay out of their argument. Evian immediately closed her mouth. Fine! I don't have any good experiences to share with flexander anyway. "How come our romanuc genes didn't get passed on to these four?" asked David.
"They must have had a genetic mutation, replied Selena.
"You made a valid point," agreed David.
Rubbing his temples in frustration, Alexander begged, "Please don't interfere. Just pretend you guys don't know nothing Otherwise, she'll feel embarrassed."
Isabella loved gossip. However, he was not sure how she would feel about being someone's gossip material.
Everyone immediately assured him that they would keep their mouths shut before they all left the security control room.
Alexander siblings were astounded by his actions earlier that evening. They could not help but wonder when exactly did he start having such feelings and how deep such feelings ran
Alexander did not know what to tell them. He did not have the answers for those questions either.
Surprisingly, his parents did not seem shocked at all. It was as if they knew what was happening better than

Alexiusder was extremely reserved when it came to his emotions. This was related to his past psychological sooves. As a child, he had experienced periods of severe introvertion, often refusing to communicate with the outside world for extended periods of time. Yet, deep down, his emotions were intense
During one of his silem periods when he was child, they had taken him on a vacation in an attempt to lift his mond
This had spent the holiday together with Tabella << family.
Ever the span of three days, Tabella had followed Alexander around like she was his shadow. Alexander slid not say a single wond to her throughout that time.
However, when Isabella's family left for home, Alexander suddenly broke down in tears. At that time, they thought he was ill and quickly called for a doctor. They had not considered that he might have been crying for Isabella
Afterwards, once the doctor left, Alexander seemed to have developed a newfound indifference towards
life
However, once pent-up feelings have accumulated to a certain extent. One would inevitably explode ource. This was probably what happened with Isabella way back then.
As for the current situation with Isabella, her infatuation with Alexander had been inexplicable from the very beginning. Prior to her adoption, the two of them had rarely ever spent time together. They had not even seen each other for nearly a decade.
As a child, Isabella was a sunny girl, perpetually brimming with warmth and joy towards everyone. So, when she first met Alexander as a child, her kindness toward him was nothing out of the ordinary. To the adults, they were simply children playing together.
Years later, when she moved into the Quirk family's home, she had seemed aloot and distant from everyone. However, they understood that she was dealing with the loss of her parents, so they were tolerant of her behavior that would have otherwise made them feel awkward and uncomfortable around
her
Christopher had not really gotten along with Isabella and had paid her no mind. Rosalie was younger than habella, and when she realized that the older girl was not keen to play with her, she did not dare to bother her much Evian, on the other hand, had been married off at an early age
When Alexander was still studying in university, he rarely went home. So, it seemed that Isabella had really fallen for him at first sight Every time Alexander returned home, Isabella would always make the first move with fum. Alexander was always polite in his interactions with her until they were set up
In the two years following their marriage, Isabella's obsession with him intensified, leading to many instances that were too uncomfortable to witness.
hard to discern whether Isabella genuinely adored Alexander, or if she merely sought the comfort and protection that came with the status of being his wife.
Now, it was Alexander who had developed feelings for her, which the family had always wanted, hoping the two could fall in love for real.
