    Chapter 190 Way Too Cliché


    Upon discovering the truth, Isabe felt really down.

    After all, Isabe was in a position where she couldn’t initiate a divorce. The only way out would


    have been if Alexander had proposed it himself. However, given Alexander’s responsible nature,


    even if he no longer felt any love toward Isabe, he would never be the one to suggest it.


    Isabe’s only hope was to wait for Alexander and Eleanor to rekindle an old me because only


    then could she be free..


    Initially, she thought that with Eleanor’s return, she could finally embark on a new journey.


    However, it turned out to be far from the truth.


    Eleanor was, unfortunately, not a good person.


    As such, Isabe couldn’t bear to help Eleanor reconcile with Alexander. After all, Alexander and his


    family had treated her really well, so she couldn’t do something so heartless.


    Her only option was to swallow her frustration.


    Hence, when everyone was taken aback by Lily’s words, Alexander was still sulking in his own


    world. Meanwhile, Isabe’s gaze toward Eleanor grew increasingly resentful.


    Eleanor smirked in her mind. I knew once that reason was revealed, Eleanor would be trembling in


    fear.


    Then, she hung her head low, her expression a mix of embarrassment and difort. It was as if


    she was silently dering that she had never intended to y the sympathy card and didn’t want


    everyone to know about the hardships she had faced in the past.


    “What’s going on?”


    kind of ill.


    “She was sick? What kind of illness was it?”


    “Have you been recuperating these past few years? No wonder I haven’t heard from you.”


    “How are you doing now? Has your health improved?”


    “Why didn’t you exin things clearly back then?


    They were indeed friends who had known each other for many years. When Eleanor left back then,


    her sorrowful demeanor made them all believe that she must have had her reasons. However, she


    didn’t confide in anyone, leaving everyone anxious. In the end, they could only watch as she


    departed. Gradually. news of her stopped reaching them. Thus, even Audrey was shocked to learn


    the truth.


    Perhaps no one expected that Eleanor, someone from a prominent family, would spin such a lie, so


    everyone believed her without any skepticism.


    Meanwhile, Isabe almostughed from anger. If you were genuinely struck with a severe illness,


    that would’ve been great! Her stay at the sanitarium was nothing more than an attempt to curry


    favor by taking care of the aristocrat’s family’s elders. Lily is such a gullible fool, believing whatever


    Eleanor says and even defending her. Oh, I get it now. Eleanor’s putting on a show for Alexander,


    hoping he’ll feel regretful and sorry for her. Yeah, sure, keep acting! No one can outperform you!


    When she left all those years ago, she put on that act in front of everyone to give herself a way out.


    Since that sanatorium catered exclusively to aristocrats, they would never disclose any information

    gossip hadn’t ruined my ns. I’d be enjoying it. Now, all I tant is to vent!

    Then, Isabe observed the reactions of those around her and was speechless when she realized


    they were all fooled by Eleanor.


    Suddenly, she paused, stealing a nce at Alexander. She noticed he was eating with a frown,


    showing no intention of joining the group conversation or any sign of what he was thinking. Due to


    her illness, the ex- girlfriend had no choice but to break up with her boyfriend because she didn’t


    want to see him upset. Following that, she distanced herself, seeking treatment. Now that she’s


    recovered, she returns only to find out he’s already married and can only exchange silent nces


    with him. Hmm… Alexander doesn’t know the truth, he’ll definitely be fooled!


    When Alexander heard Isabe’s thoughts, his eyes sparkled. She cares about me! Maybe she’ll do


    something to prevent me from being deceived.


    The mere thought of that possibility suddenly made Alexander’s heart race a bit faster.


    Unfortunately, Isabe’s next thoughts shattered his hope. Then, out of sympathy. I will want to


    warn Alexander about Eleanor, who isn’t as good as she seemed. However, since all my


    informationes from the system, I can’t exin everything clearly. In the end, I’d only be


    suspected of sowing discord. After all, Eleanor’s image as a tragic heroine was already established.


    Eventually, they would end up together happily, and I’d be left in the dust as at cannon fodder.


    Heck, I might not even get an alimony, and I’d be despised by everyone. D*mn, this is just too


    cliché


    Alexander was confused. How on earth did your train of thought arrive there?


    Isabe’s thoughts continue, Sorry, Alexander, but I’d rather others get the trouble than myself. At


    most, I won’t help an evildoer. If you fall for the wrong person. It just means it’s your destiny to face


    this disaster. I can’t help you; I’m just a bystander enjoying gossip


    The edge of Alexander’s eye twitched. You are my greatest disaster!


    Isabe felt she had finally navigated through that tricky situation. All she could do was sit back and


    wait for events to unfold, as that was her only means of self–preservation.


    However, Alexander was already on the verge of acting recklessly in anger. If he weren’t uncertain


    about whether revealing Isabe’s mind–reading ability would cause irreparable harm to her, he


    would have really liked toe clean once and for all.


    The crowd suddenly sensed a shift in the atmosphere and thought Alexander seemed to be


    emanating a chilling vibe.


    They were taken aback because, in all the years they knew Alexander, his emotions had always


    been. rtively stable.


    Additionally, due to hisposed nature, he was rarely upset by people or events. Yet, at that


    moment, even they could see the emotional turmoil Alexander was experiencing, which they


    assumed was due to the reveal of the true reason behind Eleanor’s breakup.


    A few people there cast a sympathetic nce at Isabe, If Eleanor had no choice but to leave back


    then. and if Alexander was so affected by the truth, then his marriage with Isabe might notst.


    Just as they were all thinking about the matter, they saw Alexander gloomily snapping his sight


    toward


    Isabe.


    While Alexander was sad that Isabe didn’t seem to care about him, the others were thinking


    about something else.

    The crowd assumed their predictions were correct and that Alexander was feeling apologetic toward


    Isabe. As such, they wondered if Alexander had decided to give up on Isabe that quickly.


    Eleanor thought the same and was excited.


    Isabe also noticed Alexander looking at her. When she met his dark eyes, looking like ck


    whirlpools. intent on drawing in her entire field of vision, she felt her heart flutter.


    Isabe inexplicably felt guilty under his gaze. “W–What’s the matter?”


    Alexander was by no means a weak individual, so he quicklyposed himself. “Something’s on


    the corner of your mouth.”


    As he spoke, he picked up a napkin and gently wiped the sauce from the corner of Isabe’s


    mouth. His actions were ambiguous, and he was entirely focused on her as if the two of them were


    in a different space from everyone else around them.


    Isabe was dumbfounded, and so was everyone else.


    Had that happened earlier, everyone would have spected whether Alexander did it purposefully


    for Eleanor to see.


    Jonathan doing that at that moment seemed illogical to everyone else.


    They were all confounded. Is Alexander really taking care of his wife? That doesn’t seem right!


    Even a stranger would pay some attention upon hearing such news, and this news is about his ex–


    girlfriend! How can he, the person involved, react like this?


    What is he doing? After hearing such significant news, even if he doesn’t regret his decision, he


    should at least be feeling a bit down, right? At the very least, he should show some doubt! Why is


    he focusing on the corner of my mouth! I just don’t get it! Isabe’s confused thoughts caused


    Alexander’s eyes to sparkle.


    He eagerly waited for Isabe to read his mind after she was befuddled. If Isabe doesn’t believe


    what I say, the best solution is for her to read my mind.


    In reality, Isabe would typically not pry into the minds of those close to her and would merely skim


    their rted gossip.

    However, at that time, Isabe’s curiosity got the better of her, and she wanted to investigate


    further. Could it be he was spacing out earlier? He didn’t hear what was being said at all? Let me


    see… Huh?
