Isabe’s sigh made Alexander tense up.
It’s strange. The strange! remarked Isabe in her mind, which caused Alexander to be taken
aback.

Ihat’s strange? Is it really that odd that I don’t fancy Eleanor Or is it that my current feelings for
Isabe are strange Alexander’s restless heart couldn’t help but sink a little.
He knew he had always been slow to react when it came to matters of the heart. Sometimes, he
was ever unsure if the people around him liked him or not. Only when faced with Eleanor’s and the
past Isabe’s fervent pursuit could he discern their affection for him.
Also, it was only recently he became aware he was rtively slow to realize his feelings for the
opposite
His past university romance was merely fleeting, and he had never harbored any genuine feelings
for Eleanor. Previously, he didn’t understand, nor did he care, simply going with the flow. However,
someone had helped him understand.
Isabe entered his mind ina peculiar way, causing him to think of her unintentionally often.
Moreover. his emotions fluctuated because of her, such as anger, Happiness, worry,
disappointment, and others. He used to be rather indifferent to everything, but after that fateful day,
he found himself constantly riding an emotional roller coaster.
Truth be told, he didn’t enjoy the feeling of losing control, yet he couldn’t resist being attracted. Even
if he wasn’t particrly insightful in the matter, a bit of rational analysis was enough for him to
understand the answer, which was that he had fallen for Isabe.
However, to what extent he liked her, he couldn’t discern, nor did he feel the need to. After all, he
only felt that way toward Isabe, and he was legally married to only her. Expectedly, he harbored
ulterior motives. Previously, he didn’t want to divorce due to his sense of responsibility and respect
for the sanctity of marriage, but at that moment, he simply didn’t desire divorce.
The alwaysposed, methodical, and logical Alexander once again found his thoughts in disarray
due to
Isabe.
Like a teenager in adolescence, he was naive and bewildered,
If first love was defined by someone’s genuine love for another, then Isabe was his real first love
in every sense of the word.
As Alexander’s train of thought continued, he began to feel somewhat nervous because he
suddenly remembered what Isabe had said in the past, that an affection returned toote was
worthless. Was she saying strange because she remembered how cold I was when she read my
mind?
However, there was nothing he could do about it. In the past, his rtionship with Isabe was
solely based on obligation. If it weren’t for the fact that Isabe appeared the same, he would have
doubted if the past and current Isabe were even the same individual. At that moment, he only
wanted to be with the current Isabe.
As Alexander reminisced, he was suddenly stunned when memories of a little girl shed through
his mind. She was beaming at him, asking, “Alex, why are you so quiet? Can’t you speak? If that’s
the case, let me talk more. You’ll learn to speak more if you listen. Let me share some gossip with
you about my
family”

“Alex, you re incredibly handsome. In the future. I n to earn a ton of moneyke care of you!
“Alex, you are so thin. Eat more. I have a thing for six–packs!”
“Hahaha, your first kiss is mine. Alex!”
and
Alexander was taken aback by those memories. Is this Isabe from when she was a kid?
Given the close rtionship between his and Isabe’s families, it wasmon for them to arrange
frequent meetings, even though they didn’t reside in the same city. Therefore, it was normal for
them to have met when they were children. However, back then, he didn’t typically live at the Quirk
manor, unlike in the present. Hence, his memories with his siblings were somewhat limited in
comparison, and he wasn’t even sure if they yed together while they were kids.
His memory was a blur. Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by Isabe’s mental argument with
the
WYSICUL
Isabe shouted in her mind. Why is there a mosaic here? I used to be able to see his gossip, like
the fact that he’s still a virgin! If hy is everything covered in mosaic now?
Alexander almost chocked but didn’t care about that.
After all, the oue he was waiting for didn’t arrive, and he was dumbfounded. What’s going on?
W there a mosaic! ·
Isabe’s thoughts continued, System, you must be broken Aren’t you able to dig up any gossip
aside from predicting the future? I’m requesting an upgrade and repair! You’re not broken? In that
case… Huh? I have no ess to gossip from direct relevant figures?
Alexander was confounded.
What does that mean? Is it someone who will directly affect my life? I don’t understand! Is it
because I’m not divorced? He’s my primary responsibility figure? That doesn’t make sense I wasn’t
divorced before either! eximed Isabe in
her mind.
Although Isabe wasn’t a fanatic about prying into others‘ private lives, she truly couldn’t
understand. what was going on. Thest time Isabe’s inquiry failed was because the information
had the potential to have a significant impact on the world and was thus restricted. Yet, suddenly,
there was a new restriction specifically about Alexander.
No matter how much she argued with the system, it was futile. She simply couldn’t discover
anything.
Alexander pondered, Perhaps the system acknowledged that I have feelings for her and that, for the
sake of our rtionship’s healthy progression, she’s prevented from reading my mind.
Alexander was merely specting wildly because the system was an unpredictable power.
Moreover, there was something that Alexander found quite peculiar. Isabe seems perpetually
unaware of our ability to read her mind. Is it also because it’ll affect her life? Hmm, it appears I
better not disclose this detail to Isabe.
In truth, Alexander also wanted to get to know Isabe on an equal footing. He had no intention of
keeping the ability to peek into her thoughts.

quite frustrated, his innocence had yet to be proven.

It doesn’t matter if she can’t see my information. Alexander looked at Isabe with a smile, his gaze
bing Even gentler.
It seemed that with every introspection and every attempt to discern his own feelings, he became
increasingly aware of how extraordinarily special Isabe was to him.
He could strive to prove that he sincerely wanted to continue a wonderful journey with Isabe.
His only hope was that when he revealed his feelings for Isabe again in the future, she would no
longer see him as someone who didn’t speak his mind truthfully.
While Alexander was thinking about all that, Isabe was losing her mind in her own little world.
Concurrently, the crowd’s eyes were practically popping out of their skulls because they saw
Alexander was not only helping Isabe wipe theer of her mouth but also touching her cherry–
red lips with his finger.
From their perspective, it was an act of flirting.
That gesture wasn’t unfamiliar to Ines and Aiden for they were that kind of romantic couple. Aiden
also enjoyed brushing his fingers against Ines‘ lips tenderly
Everyone else also remembered Ines and Aiden, the dummy couple, and were all left
dumbfounded.
They couldn’t discern whether Alexander was being genuine or doing it intentionally.
Previously, they all gazed at Isabe with sympathy. However, they could no longer bear the reality
unfolding before them and subtly shifted their sights toward Eleanor because it was hard to im
that was intentional on Alexander’s part.
Eleanor paled, for she alone knew the truth. Despite their romantic rtionship being portrayed as
blissful to the outside world back then, Alexander had never behaved that way toward her.
She was flustered, and for the first time, she was profoundly shaken.
“Alexander!” Lily exploded.
Both Isabe and Alexander were taken aback.
Isabe was so preupied with the system’s bug that she didn’t notice Alexander’s finger lingering
on her lips. When she heard the shouting, she was startled into turning her head.
Meanwhile, when Alexander snapped back to his senses, he noticed it immediately. At that
moment, he felt as though his fingertips had been scalded, leaving him momentarily disoriented. I
think I subconsciously touched her lips when I was recalling the memory of Isabe saying she
imed my first kiss when she was younger.
In truth, the innocent kisses between children weren’t really significant, considering he had even
forgotten it. However, an echo of that memory prated his mind, causing him to remember and
compelling him subconsciously to recapture the lingering sensations from back then.
However, he couldn’t recall any details.
Feeling exceedingly ufortable, he didn’t immediately turn to Lily once he returned to his
senses.

Chapter 191 Wishing You A Speedy Recovery:
Upon seeing Alexander still gazing at Isabe, Lily was absolutely furious.
Still, out of politeness, Alexander turned to Lily. “What?”
His expression remained infuriatingly clueless.

Lily audibly inhaled sharply and red at the couple fiercely, her anger barely contained as she
questioned, “Everyone is concerned about Eleanor. Why aren’t you showing any reaction? Are you
that heartless? Even if you’re holding onto past grievances, now that you know the truth, you should
understand Eleanor had no other choice. Don’t you have anything to say to Eleanor?”
“Enough, Lily! It’s all in the past. Please, no morel Eleanor acted as though she was holding Lily
back as if she didn’t want Lily to put Alexander in a difficult position. She also cautiously nced at
Isabe, pretending to be genuinely afraid of angering thetter and disrupting their harmonious
rtionship.
“Say something. Alexander!” Lily ignored her friend.
Seeing that she couldn’t hold back Lily, Eleanor was almost tearful as she looked at Alexander.
Everyone else at the table couldn’t help but sympathize with her while a few of them even cast
disapproving nces. at Alexander.
Alexander calmly thought about what to say before uttering, “Um… I wish you a swift recovery.”
