Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Fascinated By Her Beauty 

When Isabella woke up, she found himself in a warm embrace. 

Her nose brushed against his firm chest. The air she breathed was filled with his pleasant scent. 

Finished 

Isabella felt a tickle in her nose, so she rubbed it against the curve of the other person’s chest. However, she sensed that the other person seemed to have pulled away a bit. 

Groggily, she opened her eyes, 

finding herself against a man’s chest. As she looked up, she was immediately struck by the sight of a stunningly handsome face, causing her to startle. 

Recalling her audacious demands from last night, Isabella immediately gave herself a mental pat on the back for her boldness 

While she didn’t often suffer from insomnia, there were still varying degrees of quality to her sleep. 

She could swear, in her two lifetimes of memories, she had never experienced such high–quality sleep before. 

Alexander was simply like an aromatherapist. 

“Good morning.” Alexander said softly, his voice carrying the unique languid and raspy tones of the early morning. 

The two shifted their positions, and Isabella pulled herself out of Alexander’s embrace. 

However, when Isabella got a clear look at Alexander’s face, which was almost turning a shade of green, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. 

“Not used to this? Didn’t sleep well?” 

Alexander paused, appearing somewhat uneasy. “Not at all, I had a comfortable sleep, better than when I… sleep alone.” 

Isabella wondered if Alexander’s sleep quality was usually poor. 

Is this complexion considered well–rested now? 

In truth, Alexander hadn’t slept well. Thankfully, Isabella couldn’t use the system to check on him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to keep up the facade. 

It wasn’t that he wasn’t accustomed to it, but Isabella was restless in sleep. She tossed and turned, which would have been fine, but she had a tendency to be rather clingy. 

She would hug him and cling on to him in her sleep. 

At first, it was incredibly sweet, but it didn’t take long before it turned into a burden. 

In truth, Isabella was unaware that he had gotten up in the middle of the night. 

He had never before felt such embarrassment while calming himself down before, 

Once he returned and laid down, Isabella wrapped herself around him again, making it very difficult to get

He had barely managed to calm his natural morning reaction, but as soon as Isabella woke up, he almost lost control again. 

Of course, he couldn’t blame his wife for this, it was his own lack of self–controll 

“Ah!” 

Suddenly, Isabella let out a startled cry. 

“What’s wrong?” Alexander had already gotten out of bed when he heard her cry, instantly becoming anxious. He thought he might have accidentally lost control and sucked on her neck the night before, leaving some sort of mark. He had sneakily checked and there was nothing, after all, he hadn’t dared to apply any force, it was just a momentary loss of control. 

“It’s already half past nine!” Isabella exclaimed in surprise, “You’re late for work.” 

After all, whenever Isabella woke up, Alexander was already in his office. Their morning routines were completely different. 

“It’s okay,” said Alexander. 

Although he had woken up quite some time ago, he had made a promise. Naturally, he had to let Isabella hold onto him until she woke up on her own. He couldn’t disturb her sleep. 

Isabella was dumbfounded, sitting on the bed staring blankly at Alexander. 

Should these words really be coming from Alexander? The workaholic has stopped working? He’s fallen off the wagon! It’s true what they say about beauty leading men astray. If he doesn’t buckle down and work, his little fortune….. 

Alexander thought, “….So, money is indeed important, isn’t it?” 

Feeling helpless, Alexander dismissed Isabella’s wild imagination. He stepped forward and lightly tapped Isabella’s forehead with his finger. 

“Since you’re awake, why not get up? Let’s have breakfast together. Don’t worry, I’ll head to work right after cating, I won’t delay.” 

Isabella chuckled dryly. 

Alexander’s toiletries and clothes were all on the other side, so he naturally had to go back. However, before leaving, he couldn’t resist asking. “Did you sleep well last night?” 

Isabella had also gotten up and was about to freshen up. On hearing this, she nodded. “I had a fantastic sleep.” 

Alexander stood tall and elegant by the door, his slender fingers resting on the doorknob. He dared not -look at Isabella as he suggested, “So… how about I come back tomorrow to be your cuddle pillow?” 

Isabella paused, not responding immediately. She had thought that last night was just a small perk. 

It was undeniable that his proposal was truly tempting 

After a moment of hesitation, Isabella finally spoke up. All right, sure.” 

Alexander finally breathed out the breath he had been holding.

Since Isabella seemed to be still struggling, Alexander did not insist on moving his personal belongings in. It was enough for him to just come over every night to serve as her pillow. 

He believed that, with time, Isabella would gradually accept him. 

When the two descended the stairs together, they were met with the focused attention of the Quirk family members. 

Even Evian, who was supposed to be off to work, intentionally stayed back just to witness this miracle. 

After all, it was quite unusual that Alexander was still lazing in bed at this hour, not yet leaving for work. 

Could it be that things really happened last night, which is why he overslept? 

However, seeing Isabella descend with an unperturbed expression, her mind was filled with thoughts of Elaine and Zendaya’s situation. They knew then that nothing had happened. 

The condemning and scornful gazes from David, Selena, and Evian were directed at Alexander, causing him to momentarily falter in his steps, overwhelmed by embarrassment. 

Left with no other choice, the trio vented their frustrations within their group chat. 

After that, they happily sat down for a meal with Isabella and Alexander at the table. 

Although Isabella used to stay up late in the past, whenever she had a meal, anyone at home would come to join her, even if it was just for a cup of tea. They never let Isabella feel lonely. 

The group chatted about the latest gossip for a while, and through Isabella’s inner thoughts, they came to understand some of the subsequent developments. 

Elaine and Zendaya had finally found their closure. The sisters chatted until they could no longer keep their eyes open. They even shared a bed, curled up in an intimate slumber. 

It seems that only a scenario where Clifford is hurt has come to pass. Astonishingly, Millie’s family caused a scene, insisting that Clifford marry Millie. They argued that Clifford had deceived Millie’s feelings. Given that Clifford’s reputation was already tarnished, they figured it would be better for them to form a marriage alliance. 

The Quirk family thought, “Is that even possible? Would the young lady still want Clifford?” 

Alexander felt that Clifford would not agree. 

The Decker family did start to mull over the situation. They were aware that Clifford’s actions the previous night had offended the Graham family, making them a laughingstock within their social circle. Itwas clear that Clifford wouldn’t be able to marry someone from a respectable family anymore. Hence, they chose Millie; at least she was smitten and would unquestionably support Clifford. 

The Quirk family thought, “It’s really hard to say whether Clifford should be pitied or not.” 

The Decker family initially planned to take Clifford to meet Millie to discuss the possibility of marriage. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Clifford escaped through a window midway, leaving a message saying he would rather die than marry a woman he didn’t love. Unfortunately, he accidentally broke his leg during the escape, putting an end to the marriage discussion. 

The Quirk family thought. “Ah, this… It’s a bit tragic. But it’s also kind of funny. What’s going on?”

Alexander was starting to feel a headache coming on. It seemed like he would have to find time that day to deal with the unfortunate matter.
