Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander)
Gossip 292

Chapter 292 I Am Getting Confused

Finished

Everyone was initially engrossed in a lively gossip session, but the moment Alexander pulled his stunt, they all fell silent, staring at him speechlessly.

He was becoming increasingly unrecognizable to them. They then looked at Isabella, who showed no reaction, seeming completely oblivious.

How long ago was it when Isabella was the one madly infatuated, incessantly pursuing Alexander?

Had the tables turned now?

Given the circumstances between the two, it was likely that they would be planning their wedding soon,

Speaking of a wedding. Roland and Elaine cast sympathetic glances toward Aiden. Although it felt rather presumptuous, they found it unimaginable if Isabella attended any event without there being gossip.

Aiden seemed to sense that, yet his expression was carefree and relaxed. He hooked his arm around his beloved Ines' neck, teasing her with a playful grin, "Next time we have gossip, it'll probably be at my place. Who knows what excitement awaits us there." "Can you not be like that?" Ines said, amused as she lightly tapped Aiden. "Behave yourself."

"It all depends on whether they behave themselves or not. Anyway, I have some doubts about the child in the newcomer's belly. I wonder whether it's really my younger brother. It would be perfect if Isabella could help me verify this. Aiden sp - if the truth would certainly come to light as long as Isabella got

involved with someone who hau problems.

Am / some sort of human lie detector? You should be seeking a doctor for this!

No sooner had Aiden finished speaking than he saw Alexander shooting him an unhappy glare. The latter was clearly displeased with someone speaking about his wife in such a manner.

Aiden immediately offered an apologetic smile.

"What? Your dad's new wife is pregnant?" Elaine responded, taken aback.

Not just Elaine, even Roland was taken aback, eyes wide in surprise.

Aiden raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "So, you guys also think something's fishy, right? And it was a natural conception, not in vitro. It's not that I don't respect her; it's just truly unbelievable" Upon hearing this, Isabella's eyes lit up. She was aware of this fact, having stumbled upon it inadvertently while checking on Aiden's gossip.

The Burke family is a classic example of a family that believes in the saying. "The more sons, the more blessings." In their family, whoever has more sons is seen as making a greater contribution to the family, and thus, receives a larger share of the family wealth. This is why Aiden's father, Ralph, has a horde of brothers. There are over a dozen of them, the youngest being only a few years older than Aiden himself.

Influenced by his family background, Ralph also favors having many children. He even harbors a sense of competition with his siblings. Therefore, not long after the birth of his first child, Aiden, he impregnated his wife again. Perhaps due to insufficient recovery from her previous childbirth, the hastened pregnancy led to complications during delivery. Tragically, both the mother and the newborn perished, leaving Aiden motherless.

Chapter 292 1 Am Getting Confused

Finished

When Alexander first met Aiden, Aiden was the epitome of a troubled youth, seemingly without any parental guidance.

Growing up without a mother and with a father too preoccupied with remarrying and having more children, the so-called "eldest grandson" status felt more like a position of neglect than of privilege.

Following that, no matter how many wives Ralph took, he never had any more offspring. After consulting a doctor, it was revealed that he was naturally less likely to father children. In retrospect, it was actually Ralph's mother who was particularly fertile. Otherwise, Ralph would have struggled to have any descendants at all. Considering that he's now in his fifties, even if he were to meet another woman with a fertile constitution, it would be challenging for her to conceive his child. No wonder Aiden has his doubts.

Since Isabella had never met Ralph and his new wife, Yvonne Hawkins, she couldn't figure out the exact situation. All she could do was analyze it based on the limited information she had.

Meanwhile, Aiden was still venting his frustrations, "Ines and I have met that woman. She's around our age, seems gentle enough, and was kind to us. She didn't come off as aggressive and even seemed a bit eager to please me. But honestly, what kind of decent person would get involved with my dad? She's just another secretary who climbed her way up and ousted her predecessor. I've lost count of how many wives my dad has had. If it weren't for the family rule of prenuptial agreements, I bet my dad would be penniless from all these marriages.

As the conversation reached this point, for a fleeting moment, Ines had a look of bewilderment.

Ines was typically the epitome of naive sweetness, her face rarely showing signs of distress or confusion, so when she did, it was particularly noticeable, especially to Isabella and Alexander, who were standing across from her.

Alexander was not one to meddle in others' affairs, but unfortunately, Isabella was quite the gossip.

Upon seeing that expression, she immediately sensed something fishy and couldn't help but indulge in a bit of gossip.

I see. Ines has rather mixed feelings toward the new lady of the house. She feels Yvonne is quite pleasant and gentle. Yet, during their first meal together, when Aiden brought up the idea of marrying Ines, Yvonne said something to Ines in private that was rather cryptic. Upon hearing this, Alexander also became somewhat curious.

Could it be that because she was pregnant, she started to see Aiden as a rival to the baby in her belly and wanted to show her dominance over Ines?

Yvonne had said, "Though marriage traditionally values matching social status, it seems quite harsh to bind someone already pitiful with a marital alliance. If you truly love him, it would be better to set him free. When I marry into the Burke family, I'll do my best to ensure the next generation has the right to choose their own partners. I hope they can replace true happiness and genuine love. I also hope you can replace someone who truly loves you.

Alexander was dumbfounded.

Even I feel confused after hearing all that, let alone Ines.

Alexander agreed in his mind. It is truly baffling. It sounds like the criticism of a marital alliance by someone who has never been part of high society. They wish for everyone to have the freedom to marry.

But how could she be so sure that they aren't in a relationship out of their own free will?

buc.

Chapter 292 1 Am Getting Confused

#Finished

Isabella watched Ines and Aiden, who were across from her. Aiden was incredibly clingy, almost like an octopus Just standing together, the two of them seeme unbearably sweet. To anyone watching, it was clear they were truly in love.

Did Yvonne have poor vision? Or was there some hidden meaning behind her actions?.

It was no wonder that Ines had such conflicting first inres of Yvonne after hearing such words.

However, there was no need to worry about anything. After all, Aiden and Ines didn't need to interact with the elders for long. After attending the wedding, they were likely to go abroad again.

For now, there were two reasons why the couple hadn't married yet. Firstly, every time Ralph returned, he was embroiled in various scandals, which seemed rather ominous. Secondly, the Deleons cherished their daughter and were reluctant to see her married off too

soon.

Naturally, Isabella had also found out the hidden reasons through the Gossip System. However, this was Ines private matter, and Isabella had merely unintentionally stumbled upon it. It seemed like Alexander's friends were all oblivious about it too. Therefore, Isabella decided to act as if she was unaware too. After all, as long as the young couple were blissfully in love, that was all that mattered.

However, they were both twenty-eight now, an age when things were expected to settle down. It was likely they would seize this opportunity to make it official.

Meanwhile, Aiden was still rambling away. He didn't care at all about whether someone was contesting with him for the family fortune. All he wanted was to be with his beloved Ines. He was content with just love, having no ambition whatsoever. Just then, Aiden was abrot.

"Hello, is this Aiden? It's me."

errupted by a call from an unknown number.

The voice belonged to a young woman. Aiden was taken aback for a moment, asking in confusion, "Who are you?"

The woman was clearly surprised, her voice dipping low as if hurt. "You don't even want to save my number? I'm Yvonne Hawkins."

Aiden looked momentarily perplexed. "Ms. Hawkins? Is there a reason you're contacting me? Is my dad looking for me?"
