Chapter 205 Is He Waiting For Dakota +5 Pearls

The elders from both sides took turns introducing their younger family members to each other. Caleb, the eldest son of the Hampton family and the party's host, naturally assumed the primary role of entertaining the guests

He spoke with refined elegance and carried himself with grace. Although he wasn't as handsome as Josiah. his demeanor was nonetheless extraordinary. Among the younger generation, his abilities might not have been as exceptional as Alexander's, but he was undoubtedly among the best No wonder the Hampton family decided to make him the heir without any qualmi

Audrey that lunatic already has such a good man, yet still not content with what she already has. Talk about being overly greedy.

Some members of the Quirk family were meeting Caleb for the first time, but they had a perfect first impression of him. Therefore, upon hearing Isabella's inner thoughts, they couldn't help but agree wholeheartedly.

Caleb was clearly quite exceptional in many ways, yet Audrey was ungrateful for what she had.

Reflecting on the troubles Audrey caused for Josiah, their gazes toward Caleb softened with even more sympathy

As Caleb exchanged pleasantries, he inexplicably felt a chill down his spine, causing him to shudder involuntarily.

"The ballroom for the wine tasting party is all set up. Please forgive us for any shortcomings in our preparations, as there are still a few things left to finish. How about we have Josiah accompany everyone to the ballroom first?" Given that Alexander and Josiah were close friends, it was only natural for Caleb to want Josiah to treat his friend well.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw Josiah looking absent-minded. Rumor had it that he'd fought with his girlfriend. Although he wasn't sure what Josiah was up to, he knew that he couldn't let Josiah's emotions affect his hospitality, especially not on a day like this.

Caleb patted Josiah's back, chuckling as he reminded, "Josiah, don't just stand there, quickly attend to your buddy"

Josiah had dark circles under his eyes, and his spirits were quite low. He truly looked like someone tormented by love.

Regaining his composure, Josiah could only muster his energy, stepping forward to lead the Quirk family members into the ballroom.

Noah and Lorelei naturally kept David and Selena company while Caleb continued with the preparation work

"Hubby, I haven't finished my makeup yet, so I'm going to the makeup room," Audrey whispered to Caleb. as she stayed close to his side. Caleb nodded.

Seeing Audrey not walking with them and appearing as though she was only halfway through her styling. Isabella immediately realized something. Good heavens, I almost miss out on the exciting plot!

The members of the Quirk family, who were walking into the ballroom together, immediately perked up. their cars to listen in to Isabella's thoughts.

Dakota was already here, but Josiah had been sulking inside since earlier, so he wasn't aware that Dakota had arrived. Il hat good timing! Since Dakota is already here, we're stuck at the opening credits it seems,

The Quirks were stunned.

At that moment, they entered the ballroom and felt as if they had stepped into a fairyland. The sight of various wine bottles, glasses, and related utensils arrayed in diverse arrangements under the crystal chandelier was absolutely stunning.

At every display table, a server was specifically assigned to pour wine for tasting.

In one corner, various musical instruments were arranged, evidently awaiting the arrival of a band invited to perform and enhance the ambiance.

The Quirks couldn't help but reveal their surprise, which the Hamptons mistook as their astonishment at the grandeur of the venue.

Noah and Lorelei felt proud.

Lorelei chuckled. "All of this was orchestrated and arranged by Caleb and Audrey."

Although the Quirk family wasn't stunned by the decor, they had to give their compliments after Lorelei's comment. After all, the arrangement had been quite impressive.

"Tonight's wine tasting party is the first one we've hosted," Noah said with a smile. "I'm not sure if there will be any shortcomings, but I do hope it will be to our guests' liking."

"This arrangement is good," David objectively remarked.

"As long as I can leave an impression on everyone, that's all that matters, haha," Noah immediately expressed with joy.

Oh, poor Mr. Noah. It's a project that the Hampton family plans to focus on, but then their eldest daughter-in-law is using it to single out their youngest son's girlfriend. Tsk, isk, isk. If things go wrong, it might just leave a lasting impression on their guests tonight. Upon hearing Isabella's sarcastic thought, everyone turned their gaze to Noah and Lorelei, who were beaming with joy. They silently sympathized with them. After all, a husband would hope for a virtuous wife, but Noah and Lorelei could only endure with a daughter-in- law like that.

Noah and Lorelei were confused as to why the Hampton family members were looking at them with such an odd expression and wondered if some arrangements were amiss.

After arranging the seating, Josiah sat next to Alexander instead of showing the expected enthusiasm of seeing a good friend, he kept looking at his phone distractedly.

Is he waiting for Dakota to reach out to him?

Everyone sneakily glanced at Josiah upon hearing Isabella's thought.

Indeed, Josiah's expression was dark. He had been giving Dakota the silent treatment for three days. Yet, Dakota hadn't reached out to him at all, and he wondered what that implied.

Is she feeling guilty so she doesn't dare to call me? Or is she playing hard to get? If she's even the slightest bit sincere, shouldn't she reach out to me and offer an explanation and apologies?

The more Josiah thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so upset that he didn't even want to stay for the wine tasting party and nearly tempted to seek Dakota out to demand an explanation. Yet his pride and dignity prevented him from doing so.

Seeing Isabella, looking rather eager for gossip, Alexander pondered for a moment before deciding to take the initiative to replace some gossip to entertain his wife.

Turning to Josiah, he asked, "What's wrong? You seem off today."

Josiah felt rather stifled and was about to voice his complaints when he spotted Isabella, practically leaning her entire body on Alexander's shoulder. Even though she wasn't looking in their direction, she seemed to be eavesdropping, her gossip-ready posture effectively killed his desire to vent. Moreover, with all the elders around, he naturally felt hesitant to speak up. "It's nothing."

I waited so long for this? As expected, he can't speak up.

Alexander shot a resigned glance at Isabella upon hearing her thought. However, feeling the weight on his shoulders and the fragrant scent wafting from her side, Alexander couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile. He dared not move an inch, hoping she would lean on him longer. However, Isabella suddenly sat up straight.

It's starting! It's starting! Audrey is chatting with Dakota about boyfriends. Is this the beginning of some sort of scheme? Oh, I want to go to the makeup room to see it happening live! What should I do? Should I replace an excuse to go to the second floor? What excuse is suitable.

The Quirk family also began to feel anticipation bubbling within them but being able to witness and listen to gossip right then and there was already good enough, replaceing a plausible excuse to delve into the nitty gritty details would be quite the challenge. Quietly, Alexander glanced at his shoulder, pursed his lips, and gazed at Isabella. Something flickered across his eyes a few times before he raised his hand.

Isabella was in the midst of devising a plan when she suddenly felt a brush against her lips.

It wasn't the first time Alexander did that. Isabella had an inexplicable deep-seated memory of the particular sensation, so she immediately caught on and looked at Alexander in surprise. What on earth is he doing?

Perhaps Alexander had already confessed his feelings, so Isabella had become particularly sensitive to certain actions of his.

"Your lipstick is smudged," said Alexander. He then turned to Josiah and asked, "Is there a place nearby where my wife can touch up her makeup?"
