An overwhelming presence suddenly enveloped Isabella. The rush of masculine pheromones that hit her was so intense that her body nearly gave in, instinctively leaning back.
Isabella’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Alexander gradually close in on her, her breath hitching momentarily.
Alexander’s eyes softened, his voice deep yet filled with a cool sensuality, “Isabella…”
“What?” Isabella instinctively raised her hand in surprise.
The bathrobe, already widely open, allowed Isabella’s hand to rest directly on Alexander’s chest, which was still damp with mist.
A wave of sweetness welled up in Alexander’s heart. As expected, Isabella talked big, but when it came down to action, she probably would retreat into her shell instantly.
He didn’t necessarily want to do anything, it was just because of a sudden urge brought on by the effects of the drug… to kiss her… those panicked eyes and trembling eyelashes.
Wait, didn’t I just see that the coffee was actually not drugged? T–Then Alexander should not be affected by any drug. right? What is he trying to do? Has he suddenly gone mad?
Alexander was utterly confused.
Isabella’s expression indeed changed, she exclaimed in surprise, “Alexander, you…”
Alexander felt a sense of urgency, almost biting his own tongue. “Y–You’re sitting on my clothes.”
Isabella and Alexander were both at a loss for words.
Glancing down, indeed, a corner of the newly delivered shirt had been inadvertently sat on by Isabella,
With an awkward smile, Isabella stepped aside. Alexander rose to his feet, feigning composure. As soon as Isabella moved away, he picked up his clothes.
Phew, that was scary. I thought… cough, cough, what a shame I was hoping to take advantage of him.
Alexander thought, “How stubborn.”
Isabella held her racing heart, sneaking a glance at Alexander. Seeing him pick up his clothes and return to the bathroom, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Recalling the gossip from just a moment ago, she immediately shifted her attention.
What’s going on? Why didn’t Rebecca’s coffee contain any drugs? Someone switched the drugged coffee, and now it’s Mrs. Gonzales who’s affected by the drug!
Such a twist… So the one with Ruth right now is… No way, no way, no way! Ugh!
Hold on, this isn’t right… No, they aren’t related by blood… But still, it’s not acceptable! How could they?
Even Alexander, who was inside getting dressed, became curious. What on earth was she on about?
Chapter 146 For The Livelihood Of Uncle Gordon
Where’s Gordon? Alone in his room… left to his own devices?
Fini
When Alexander emerged, he noticed Isabella crouching by the door, slyly peeking through the slightl ajar door.
It seemed like there were footsteps outside. Alexander positioned himself behind Isabella..
Quickly, Isabella gestured for him to be quiet with a hush sign.
With a quick glance, Alexander noticed someone stealthily carrying photographic equipment, searchin
for a room.
After singling out a room, they then commenced their performance, acting out a scene of catching adulterers in the act. This resulted in a substantial uproar, which apparently roused several guests on the
same floor.
“Huh? Why are mom and dad here?” Isabella was surprised and wanted to step out, but was held back by Alexander.
“Didn’t you notice that Christopher didn’t show up? Now that you’re a celebrity, a mistakenly taken phot could spell trouble.”
Isabella suddenly felt wronged.
I could have been the first to know, oh dear lord, why must this happen to me?
Observing Isabella’s pitiful expression, a tremor passed through Alexander’s lips. He turned around, picked up the black shirt and draped it over Isabella’s head, saying, “Cover your face, I’ll take you over.”
“Wouldn’t it make me stand out more?”
“It doesn’t matter if you stand out, as long as your face isn’t captured. My photos, generally, won’t be shared.”
Isabella’s eyes lit up instantly. She draped herself with the black shirt, still carrying the scent of Alexander, leaving only her eyes visible. Then, she looked at Alexander with an eager anticipation.
Alexander casually draped his arm over Isabella’s shoulder, positioning her protectively in front of him as if she was under his care. With an air of confidence, he walked out the door, ready to join the fun.
Watching them appear together in such a manner, the Quirk family members couldn’t help but want to laugh. After all, Alexander would never engage in such tomfoolery in the past.
Alexander felt somewhat uncomfortable under the intense scrutiny, while on the other side of the door, Christopher couldn’t help but resentfully watch his brother and sister–in–law.
Thinking of a solution at this point was futile, and with one more person, he would have been even more conspicuous.
The people on the same floor didn’t pay them any attention. After all, there was a scandal unfolding right before their eyes, and everyone couldn’t help but want to get a closer look at the drama,
y? Why was it that they understood each individual word, but did not understand it
They clearly heard the voice of Ruth and a somewhat younger man.
Then, the person who barged in exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! It’s not Rebecca and Gordon, but Ruth and Simon, Gordon’s nephew!”
Everyone in the Quirk family was feeling uneasy, regardless of their status. At that moment, they all wanted to exclaim, “What the hell!”
