At that time, Lionel was of advanced age, so he could only entrust the tasks to his children.

David was the second eldest. The siblings were very close. It was during that time he took on the heavy responsibility of leading the Quirk family. With the majority of the family's resources, he ventured out here, successfully stabilizing the commercial empire of the Quirk family.

Numerous distant relatives from the Quirk family had also abandoned their long-established lives in Yrinas during that period. They followed David here in pursuit of breakthroughs and new developments.

Of course, one shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket. The Quirk family had businesses not only in Yrinas but also overseas. These were individually left to David's siblings to manage.

Only David had moved with his entire family to settle down in the city they now called home.

Lionel, Caitlin, and Eric resided in Yrinas, while Felix lived in the neighboring city. Both Greta and Hansel

were overseas..

Typically, it was only during the grand celebrations of Lionel's birthday that the Quirk family could gather in full

But ever since Alexander arrived in this city, he never went back.

Listening to everyone's chatter, Isabella frowned and thought there was more to this matter.

However, the thought of this possibly being related to Alexander stirred up some resistance within her. After all, it could hardly be a good thing.

The Quirks didn't beat around the bush. Since the relationship between Isabella and Alexander had become so intimate now, it was best for Isabella to be aware of certain matters. "Actually, it's all my fault," Selena began, her reminiscence causing her emotions to waver before she could even speak.

"This has nothing to do with you. It's our responsibility as a couple," David immediately reassured.

This made Isabella even more uneasy.

"Let me do the talking," Evian said abruptly.

The genesis of the situation was closely tied to the Quirk family's decision to shift their business focus years ago. When David came over to strive, naturally Selena was also there to lend her support.

Back then, Evian was already five years old, old enough to attend kindergarten. Thus, bringing her along posed no issues. However, Alexander was still young, only two or three years old. Bringing him along would be a challenge, as Selena did not have the energy to look after him constantly. Moreover, Alexander had already been identified as a highly intelligent child just like Callahan. He was considered a prodigy, requiring specialized nurturing and guidance.

And so, Lionel made the decision to have the couple leave Alexander in their hometown. After all, at that time, Yrinas was indeed the most developed in all aspects, which was more conducive to the discovery of gifted children. Besides, the closest family members were all here, so there was no doubt that Alexander would be well cared for.

From a young age, Alexander had been so intelligent and sensible that it was heartrending. Once the situation was explained to him, he did not cry or fuss. With heavy hearts, David and Selena had no choice but to first move away with Evian.

In this narrative, it was essential to mention a particular individual. Back then, she was the second wife of Lionel, known as Marley McGrath.

The six siblings of the Quirk family all shared the same biological mother. However, she passed away after giving birth to the youngest child. Marley was initially an attendant to Evelyn. After arriving at the Quirk manor with Evelyn, she took on the responsibility of caring for each of the Quirk children, earning her a great deal of respect from the family,

She eventually got married and had a child. However, her husband passed away early, leaving her to live in the Quirk manor with her only daughter.

There were no melodramatic issues here. Marley was a woman of yesteryears, carrying the traditional values of loyalty and devotion deep within her bones. She was also the one who, due to Evelyn's last wishes, married Lionel. Evelyn had been worried that a stepmother might mistreat her children, and thus, she pleaded with Marley to marry her husband. Lionel agreed to the arrangement to put Evelyn's heart at ease. Under such circumstances, the two came together They were both individuals of good character and they accompanied each other into old age in this manner.

Furthermore, in order to affirm that she would never bear a child to compete with Evelyn's children for the family inheritance, Marley had secretly consumed an infertility pill before her marriage. Hence, among the siblings in the Quirk family, aside from the daughter that Marley had brought with her from her previous relationship, all shared the same parents.

The harmonious relationships within the Quirk family with no internal strife made them somewhat of an anomaly in Yrinas.

It was precisely due to this nurturing environment that Marley had wholeheartedly taken care of almost all the grandchildren. Therefore, David and Selena felt at ease leaving Alexander at their ancestral home.

However, as Alexander grew older, his personality gradually began to show some issues.

Initially, they thought his high intelligence was the reason he couldn't quite fit into the world around him, leading him to become increasingly silent. But as this situation worsened when Alexander was about five or six years old, David and Selena felt it was unacceptable. They decided they needed to bring their child closer to them for better care.
