She voiced her doubts twice in that moment, but when there was no response, she let it be and simply continued reading. 

Could this be any more outrageous? Did I just stumble upon some deep–seated youthful secrets of my elders? How awkward! It turns out that back then, aside from David, the other three men from the Quirk family had feelings for her. However, she only ever had eyes for David. And when David and Selena fell in love, she confessed her feelings in a rush, only to be rejected. At the time, David was already in love with Selena. Moreover, considering the significant age gap between him and Maeve, David always saw her as a young girl. So, there was no chance for them at all. Feeling utterly embarrassed after being rejected, Maeve resorted to online dating. She pretended that she had found a boyfriend online and claimed that her feelings for David were just a misunderstanding… 

David heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness I have a good daughter–in–law who helped clear my name! In fact, because Maeve had initially dismissed it as a misunderstanding, David didn’t take it seriously at all. He didn’t even bother to store it in his memory. Over time, he genuinely forgot about it. If it weren’t for Isabella bringing it up, he would have never remembered it at all. 

After all, no adult would remember something like a young girl once confessing her liking for them. Back then, Layla was even younger than she was now, definitely not of age yet. 

David suddenly paused. Wait a minute, does this mean there were several people at home who were into minors? 

That’s sick! 

Selena breathed a sigh of relief. 

At least David hadn’t been intentionally keeping secrets from me. Judging by Maeve’s current state, it seems she’s doing quite well. Therefore, she isn’t considered a love rival at all. 

After having the gossip from the past forcefully brought up, the younger generation of David’s family immediately felt awkward in the presence of their elders. 

Because of that diversion, everyone overlooked the information that was suddenly changed. 

When Maeve caught sight of Alexander, she was stunned for a moment. “So, you’re Alexander. You’ve changed so much since we were kids. I could hardly recognize you,” she said. 

Alexander gave a subtle nod in response. Unnoticed by all, he had not made eye contact with Maeve. “Aunt Maeve,” he greeted her. 

Only Isabella felt that the grip on his arm had tightened a bit. 

Isabella was about to gaze at Alexander in confusion when she heard Maeve say, “So you’re Alexander’s wife, Isabella. Hello there. You’re truly beautiful.” 

“Hello, Aunt Maeve,” Isabella greeted her politely with a faint smile. 

Maeve didn’t linger for long. Instead, she had Layla deliver her greetings. 

After prompting her for a while with no response, Isabella looked up and saw the strikingly beautiful 

young girl, who was intently gazing at Alexander, who was deep in thought with his eyes cast down. Layla was motionless, yet her cheeks were slowly turning a shade of red. 

She seemed utterly mesmerized.

Isabella coughed softly as a subtle reminder. Maeve also awkwardly nudged her daughter, but Layla remained unresponsive. 

Surprisingly, upon hearing Isabella’s cough, Alexander, who had been inexplicably tense, looked over in confusion. He was completely engrossed, oblivious to his surroundings, and asked, “What’s wrong? Is your throat uncomfortable? Do you need some water?” 

As soon as Alexander spoke, Layla seemed to awaken from a dream, immediately turning her gaze toward Isabella. The look in her eyes could no longer be described as the friendly curiosity of a first meeting, instead it was a serious and cautious scrutiny. 

Isabella’s radar went off instantly. 

Huh? I didn’t find Alexander’s adversary, but I stumbled upon my own love rival first? What are you looking at? You could look all you want, but Alexander still won’t be yours! He’s mine! 

Even though she was internally seething, she maintained a friendly expression on her face, even affectionately leaning on her husband’s arm. 

“My throat’s a bit scratchy, but it’s nothing to worry about.”
