Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 470 Best Friend
+5 Pearls
Taken aback, Alexander felt his heart swelling in his chest. The way he looked at Isabella also changed.
As Isabella was about to get up, she was pulled back into Alexander’s embrace.
The moment Isabella’s cheek pressed against those firm abs, her entire body went weak, and she seized the opportunity to sneak in a quick nibble.
Unexpectedly, her teasing action resulted in Alexander refusing to let her get out of bed.
The two of them had a rather exhilarating moment, their faces flushed and hearts pounding. It took a while before the room finally quieted down, leaving only the gradually steadying rhythm of their breathing.
By the time they headed downstairs, it was a close call as Greta’s car had already pulled through the gates.
Isabella calmly took a seat, accepting the attention of everyone present. “It takes five minutes to drive in from the main gate, so there’s no rush.”
The crowd wore ambiguous smiles, suggesting that Alexander and Isabella might just be the positive energy the Quirk family needed to balance out their recent negative energy. Amidst all the chaos happening, they were the only ones lost in their own sweet world.
Alexander went to fetch breakfast for Isabella. As the others rushed outside to spectate, he made sure Isabella finished her breakfast first.
“Isn’t this impolite of us?”
“There’s likely going to be a bit of a clash first.”
Alexander methodically poured a glass of milk for Isabella, and sure enough, the sounds of a commotion could be heard from outside.
The commotion lasted until the two had finished their breakfast, only then did it finally subside.
Isabella gave Alexander a thumbs up. “You really hit the nail on the head.”
“My dad, Uncle Eric, and Uncle Felix are all vert
protective of Aunt Greta. After all, she’s their little sister.”
The underlying message was clear – a peaceful greeting upon first meeting was out of the question. There was bound to be some commotion, perhaps even a physical altercation, before everyone could enter the main building.
“Let’s go,” Alexander said, leading Isabella toward the main building.
On their way there, they encountered Carlos.
“You two sure know how to take it easy,” Carlos said, wiping his sweat. “You have no idea how terrifying it was just now. It’s the first time I’ve seen my uncles hit someone.”
“What happened?” asked Alexander.
Carlos briefly explained what had just happened,

“Niel didn’t actually get hurt, but someone else was accidentally injured, a woman at that. You can imagine how awkward it was,” Carlos said, shaking his head. “She was just taken to a guest room to rest and
recover.”
“What?” Isabella exclaimed in surprise. “A woman? That’s not right. Doesn’t Aunt Greta only have one son? Where did she come from-”
At this point, Isabella covered her mouth, staring at Carlos in astonishment. “Did he really bring her along?”
Carlos could guess what Isabella was thinking. “No, no, that woman is actually a friend Aunt Greta met over there. They’re really close. Her name is Yasmine Lowe, and she almost became Lancelot’s godmother.”
Upon hearing this, Isabella instantly grimaced.
“What’s with that face?” Alexander asked with a chuckle!
“No, it’s just… whenever I hear anything to do with godparenthood or adopting, I feel completely out of
sorts.”
Everyone also recalled the last person who almost became an adopted daughter. Indeed, it was somewhat unsettling.
“This shouldn’t be an issue. She keeps trying to persuade them not to divorce, and she always seems to be in favor of Aunt Greta.”
Though Carlos had spoken, Isabella still couldn’t help but have doubts. “So, is this Yasmine married? Isn’t it a little inappropriate for her to just tag along for a family matter like this?”
Why did she feel that something was off?
Carlos paused for a moment before answering, “She wasn’t wearing a ring, so I think she’s unmarried. Plus, even though she’s Aunt Greta’s best friend, she’s about seven or eight years younger than Aunt Greta.”
Isabella and Carlos exchanged glances, but then they felt guilty for letting their thoughts run wild, which they considered impolite. They felt extremely apologetic.
However, Alexander spoke up at that moment.
“If she’s Aunt Greta’s best friend, why would she advise against the divorce?”
These words immediately sent a jolt through Carlos and Isabella.
