Any complications could significantly reduce the Quirk family’s presence at the upcoming birthday banquet.
As for driving Dylan out, Lionel had no objections. If someone dared to raise a hand against their own family, there was no reason for them to stay. The Quirk family couldn’t afford to turn against each other.
Afterwards, Lionel visited the temple and even invited a priest to his home. Isabella was surprised to see that the Quirk family still held such beliefs.
That night, Alexander, in a sour mood, held Isabella in a long, melancholic embrace. Their lips locked in a lingering kiss, almost leading to unintended sex.
Isabella felt a soft whisper by her ear–it was Alexander’s voice. “Bella, I love you.”
Her entire body seemed to radiate with intense heat, as if she were in a steaming pot.

She cradled Alexander’s handsome face in her hands, showering him with flurry of kisses. Noticing his eyelashes trembling slightly, she asked, “What’s wrong?
Alexander sighed. “The priest mentioned that the Quirk family’s marriages and love affairs have been prone to problems these past couple of years, like a major calamity. Grandpa subtly suggested we postpone our wedding, fearing we might be affected too.”
Isabella’s cheeks flushed a deep red. They hadn’t formally discussed marriage, but things were already falling into place.
Suddenly, Alexander looked up and planted a kiss on her forehead, speaking earnestly, “I’ve been wanting to truly marry you. I was planning to wait until after Grandfather’s big birthday celebration…”
Isabella’s heart fluttered at his sincere mention of marriage. Although Alexander didn’t realize it, for her, that was the true proposal.
Overcome with emotion, Isabella couldn’t help but kiss Alexander’s lips. In a sweet murmur, she made a promise. “I don’t believe in all that, so… I’ll follow your lead
After she spoke, Isabella was suddenly overcome with shyness and quickly retreated under the blanket. In a moment of impulse, she had blurted it out, unsure of when she had become so willing to give herself completely to Alexander.
She wasn’t certain if she was head over heels in love, but she found herself completely trusting him without even realizing it.
That night, although they didn’t go all the way, they still tried to be as close to each other as possible.
Alexander seemed fixated on the idea of waiting. Even though Isabella showed no signs of resistance or fear, he still wanted to wait until their wedding night, in their bridal chamber, to consummate their marriage.
Despite not going all the way, Isabella was so exhausted that all she wanted to do the next day was lie down.
