Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 261 Sleep Together Tonight
Finished
Damien’s expression suddenly changed. “What are you talking about? I was just looking for Alexander to discuss some business matters. You’re imagining things. Do you really think you have some sort of superpower or something? Hahaha.”
“Hahaha.” Isabella joined in the awkward laughter, making the situation momentarily quite comical.
A twitch played at the corner of Alexander’s mouth. He suddenly remembered that Damien was also involved in a gossip.
No one would have thought that Damien had been secretly in love with Deborah, yet she was about to marry Oliver.
Damien was not the type to lack courage, and Alexander couldn’t quite understand why Damien had never tried to pursue the woman he had liked for so many years.
Alexander figured it was no surprise Isabella teased Damien in such a manner. Even Alexander wondered whether Damien, who didn’t dare to pursue Deborah, was trying anything in a desperate plight, hoping the so–called metaphysics could lend him a hand.
However, judging by how Damien was steering the conversation back, it was clear that he had only momentarily harbored ill intentions.
Isabella thought the same, so she didn’t expose the truth. After all, there wasn’t any actual conflict. She merely mocked Damien a little for lacking courage.
It was merely a minor incident. Soon after, Isabella and Alexander promptly got into the car and left.
Throughout the journey, Isabella talked nonstop. After all, the situation was quite astonishing. Alexander was an excellent listener, allowing Isabella to express herself to her heart’s content.
“That’s right. Let me share this with everyone,” Isabella said, taking out her phone to send a message to The Quirks Chat.
Various sensational headlines constantly piqued the interest of the Quirks.
In fact, a few days earlier, two of the Quirk family had already left.
After finally wrapping up his affairs related to the domestic entertainment industry, Christopher and Hayden went overseas.
Rosalie had also departed due to the commencement of her arts academy abroad.
However, the Quirk family’s gossip group remained lively. The only downside was that they couldn’t Indulge in the gossip in person, leaving everyone feeling lonely.
This time, even Christopher, who was far away overseas, couldn’t help but tease, texting: Bella, you really do seem to have some metaphysics about you. You always manage to run into these situations.
Evian replied: There should be. Otherwise, who knows who you might be with right now?
Christopher: You’re absolutely right.

Boohoo. Ho
I wish to go home and watch the drama unfold in person.

Selena: Ah, we who stay at home don’t get the chance to enjoy the gossip anyway. We’re getting left out of the young ones‘ activities now that we’ve aged.
David: I feel you.
Isabella could only respond with an emoji that conveyed a consolatory hug
Upon returning home, the rest of the family was still engaged in a discussion in the living room.
Clearly, the news had already spread outside, now just on Isabella’s end.
Seated on the carpet. Callahan, tablet in hand, suddenly looked up and said, “Bella, you’re trending online. A lot of people are talking about you.
Isabella was nonplussed, shaking her head in amusement and disbelief. Indeed, it seems to be human nature to enjoy gossip. Even children are not exempted from this.
Before Isabella even had a chance to check the information online, she received a call from Danielle.
As expected, Danielle was able to receive news astonishingly fast.
Isabella was utterly confused. We’re all gossiping together, so why must they pin the blame on me?
Danielle teased Isabella, stating that even though the latter was no longer active in the scene, her legend would forever remain. Moreover, Isabella’s followers were growing in number, not to mention each one being a die–hard fan.
One could say that Isabella was the first entertainer in the industry who was so prone to messing up her public image yet repeatedly proved herself to be otherwise, almost turning her into the Gossip Goddess.
Naturally, discordant murmurs began to arise. For instance, some suggested that Isabella exploited the information she gathered from her investigations into the affluent families to secure her return. They accused her of creating the gossip beforehand and manipulating her public image to her advantage.
However, Isabella was utterly unconcerned. She was still indulging in the joy of going through her timeline.
After showering and changing into pajamas, she sprawled out on the bed, enjoying the gossip.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Isabella knew it was Alexander who had come to bid her goodnight.
Isabella instantly stopped what she was doing and instinctively got off the bed, rushing toward the door.
As the door swung open, there stood Alexander, clad in his pajamas just like her.
As always, he cast his gaze downward, a tenderness seemingly ready to overflow from his eyes.
As Isabella locked eyes with him, she gradually felt overwhelmed, sensing that her heartbeat was going
awry.
Naturally. Alexander’s heartbeat was even more unsettled than Isabella’s. He opened his mouth, but he

didn’t say goodnight as he usually did.
A blush had spread from his neck to his face in the eerily silent span of a few seconds.

He then suddenly spoke. “Didn’t you want a hug?” After saying that, he surprisingly spread his arms wide.
Isabella was taken aback, unable to respond momentarily.
Alexander almost stopped breathing. A hint of desolation laced his voice as he spoke. “Don’t you want to hold me anymore?”
Only then did Isabella suddenly remember, back at the pool, Alexander had told her he would let her hold him after they returned home.
Isabella suddenly inhaled sharply, lifting her gaze. Alexander’s robe was slightly open, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of his well–defined muscles.
Isabella thought. Unexpectedly, he’s just as charming wearing a robe as being shirtless in the pool or donning a short- sleeved shirt after getting out of the water.
Under Isabella’s scrutinizing, gaze, it was truly hard for Alexander to relax.
Ar that moment, the Quirks, who were just about to fall asleep. thought. Oh? It seems like something’s happening.
After Isabella finished admiring Alexander’s body, desire began to stir within her. The bolder the heart, the greater the yield. Since he willingly comes to me. I’d be a fool not to seize this opportunity. Wait, perhaps I can be even bolder.
On the surface, Alexander remained composed
However, inwardly, he mused. Be bolder? Could she mean a kiss?
