Chapter 194 Struggling To Understand Mother Tongue
Isabe’s grand and ambitious n was abruptly interrupted by that sudden hug.
Before she could react, Alexander spoke in a deep voice. “Sorry, this is my fault.”

Although Alexander’s action of pulling Isabe into his arms puzzled everyone, his apology was
event more astonishing.
Lily spoke. “Alexander, you don’t neeil to apologize for her. She should be responsible for her own
actions
Two years ago, Alexander apologized on behalf of Isabe, who made a fuss. Thus, everyone
naturally assumed that Alexander was apologizing for Isabe again.
Before Lily could finish her sentence, Alexander lowered his head toward Isabe, who was staring
at him with wide eyes in his arms, and said, “I’m sorry I caused you to be misunderstood.”
Huh? Is he saying that to me? I hy does it feel like I don’t understand my mother tongue anymore?
thought Isabe, which amused Alexander.
He turned to the crowd and said. “That email was sent under the guise of my wife’s name.”
Everyone was utterly baffled.
Eleanor was the first to lose herposure. “Alexander, even if it’s to protect her, you can’t-”
Alexander felt extremely awkward, but he still seized the opportunity to exin. “The day you sent
me an email asking to meet, my wife was the first to see it and quickly informed me about it.
However, I felt it wasn’t appropriate for me to respond to that email, as any response would imply
contact with an ex. I believe that once a rtionship has ended, to respect the current one, there
should be no private contact with an ex. Thus, I asked my wife to help me reply to you, but…”
Alexander nced down at Isabe in his arms again, raising his eyebrow in resignation. “Since my
wife didn’t want to help me, 1 had no choice but to do it myself.”
Isabe was stunned.
Everyone else was also dumbfounded, but those who knew Alexander understood that he wasn’t
one to resort to lying.
Still, everyone had difficulty believing Alexander doing that because it was too childish, toocking
in ss, and too out of character for him.
It was as if their image of Alexander hade crashing down. His fans, especially, were caught
completely off guard.
Once again, those stares made Alexander feel embarrassed. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say he
was sweating profusely, and, for once, he actually wished he could find a hole in the ground to
crawl into.
However, he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.
He instinctively tightened his hold on Isabe.

“Isabe, how could you do such a thing? Ah, Alexander, don’t be mad at Isabe. Still, this is
rather unfair to Eleanor. Maybe you should apologize?” Audrey suggested insincerely.
“No need. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have reached out to Alexander. Isabe, you did the right thing.”
Eleanor’s voice was hoarse,ced with a hint of sobbing as she addressed Isabe. “I did as you
said and haven’t contacted Alexander again. However, this is a get–together, I didn’t want toe
initially, but it’s been so long since I’ve met everyone, and I miss them. That’s why I’m here. You
don’t have to concern yourself with what Lily said. It’s all in the past.”
*Eleanor, you’re just too kindhearted. I don’t know what this woman has been doing behind you
two’s backs to deepen the misunderstanding between you two!” Lily seemed to have already
concluded that was indeed the truth.
My mother tongue is silence, but isn’t their acting a bit too cessive? As much as I enjoy gossip, it’s
no longer fun when I’m the main subject! thought Isabe.
Snapping back to reality from the immense shock and embarrassment, Alexander found himself in
an embarrassing situation he had never experienced in his life. He felt as if his entire body was
aze.
He realized he couldn’tprehend the inner workings of a woman’s mind because he had not
anticipated the email would be used to target Isabe.
At that moment, he truly understood what embarrassment meant.
Just as he was about to stand up and rify things, he heard Isabe’s inner voice ranting wildly. I
don’t even need to investigate to know that they fabricated this to set me up. They’re really
determined to win over Alexander,
Alexander remarked in his mind, Um, actually it’s not.
Isabe continued, I’ll make sure the two of them regret ndering me! Now, let me think about how
I should teach
them a lesson!
Mentally, Alexandermented, No need. I’ll do it.
The edge of Isabe’s lips curved upward slightly. Wait a minute! I’m at a disadvantage if I strike
back! After all, in this web of rtionships, if I retaliate without Alexander’s support, I’ll just end up
being theughingstock! That’s it! Isn’t this an opportunity? I can feebly deny my involvementter,
and Alexander surely toon’t easily believe me, especially since they’ve put on such a convincing
show. Then, I can argue with Alexander and the others, blowing a small issue out of proportion! It’ll
eventually spiral out of control, and then I can… Hehehe…
Alexander resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Yes, I suppose it is indeed an opportunity!

Suddenly, Isabe rose to her feet with determination.
However, before she could even speak, Alexander also stood up. He stretched his arm and pulled
Isabe into his embrace.

lying. Did he really do that? Why on earth did he use my name?
Others also voiced the same question Isabe had.

Unfazed by the potential embarrassment, Alexander boldly met Eleanor’s gaze. It was as though his
eyes could see through everything, even looking into a person’s soul.
Eleanor was still struggling to process that earth–shattering revtion when the gaze upon her sent
a shiver down her spine, making her feel guilty for the first time.
“Although I did it slightly out of spite, I thought that if I responded in my wife’s name, any reasonable
person would understand that we, as a couple, are united and would keep their distance to respect
our lives. Unexpectedly… Alexander’s gaze was as intense as a spotlight, making Eleanor feel
utterly ashamed.
Even Lily felt humiliated, seeing that her lips were trembling and she couldn’t offer a single word in
her
defense.
Alexander’s words were still rtively polite, though his true, less polite meaning was already
silently. conveved
If one had any sense of decency, they would have behaved themselves after receiving a warning
from another man’s wife. They shouldn’t entertain the idea of undermining the rtionship or
engaging in immoral actions.
Alexander assumed it would’ve worked because he thought Eleanor had a sense of shame.
Based on what he knew about Eleanor before, she was an excellent, well–mannered woman with a
basic sense of decency.
Thus, it had never crossed Alexander’s mind that Eleanor would team up with Lily to bring up
again.
the matter
Alexander nonchntly exined everything in detail yet he still turned to Isabe and said with
genuine remorse, “I’m sorry.”
After all, it was hisck of foresight that led to Isabe suffering an undeserved problem.
He stared only at Isabe as though he was saying he didn’t care about others‘ reactions.
Isabe stared nkly at Alexander. When their eyes met, a momentary flurry of confusion shed
across. her gaze.
In the next moment, Isabe demanded, “I’m applyingpensation for defamation damages. He
better. not think I’ll just drop the matter because he said that.
Helplessly, Alexander coaxed in a whisper, “Hmm, that’s reasonable. Is ten million enough?”
Isabe’s eyes
lit up in an instant and she coughed. “I suppose that’s enough.” To think such a trivial matter is
worth ten million! Please continue to push me into situations like this!
Alexander was at a loss for words upon hearing her thought.
Honly I could impensation for emotional damages from Eleanor. Alexander could really use
that money to soothe his wounded heart right now. It was so awkward earlier, and even I couldn’t
help but feel embarrassed for him. How could he remain soposed? Does he think others will be
embarrassed instead as long as he’s not? Hahaha!

Should Ifort himter? Or would he think I’m just mocking him? Isabe’s thoughts continued.
Alexander said in his mind, Thanks, but there’s no need for constion. If youpelled to leave

try to console me. I might just feel
Others seemed oblivious to the subtle interaction between the two as they were currently
preupied with processing that earth–shattering revtion!
The ssmates who enjoyed gossip could swear that, throughout all the get–togethers they had
attended. they had never witnessed such a shocking spectacle unfolding live right before their eyes!
The plot twists were simply explosive.
As the truth had beenid bare, the look in everyone’s eyes as they turned to Eleanor and Lily had
changed.

Just moments ago, the two were busy specting about Isabe’s wicked schemes. In the end, it
turned out they were wrong, causing the image of the once–campus belle to crumble.
Therefore, any expression of misery on Eleanor’s face at that moment appeared extremely
insincere.
The crowd began to whisper, among each other.
Eleanor couldn’t bear it anymore, yet she stubbornly clung to her self–image. That time, however,
her cries were louder, a desperate bid to gain sympathy and buy herself some time. It was because
her mind was still in chaos, and she couldn’t possibly fathom how things had escted to that
point.
However, Lily was driven to despair. Although she was smitten with Alexander, her own insecurities
prevented her from pursuing him. When she saw Eleanor and Alexander together, she believed that
only such a beautiful, intelligent, and aplished woman was worthy of him instead of Isabe,
the woman who allegedly employed underhanded tactics to win over Alexander.
After all, if Isabe seeded by doing that, she could’ve done the same to be Mrs. Quirk.
Therefore, she couldn’t ept Alexander protecting Isabe and calling her his wife.
“Alexander, have you forgotten that Eleanor was once your first crush? Have you forgotten the love
your two once shared? How can you say you feel absolutely nothing for her? Oh, I got it. I bet
you’re too responsible, unable to let go of this woman. You’re merely fulfilling your duties as a
husband, but I know, deep down, Eleanor still has a ce in your heart.” In a frenzy, Lily
desperately tried to pull Eleanor up. “Eleanor, you have to ask him!”
Of course, Eleanor knew that the situation was unfavorable. However, she didn’t want to lose any
more of her dignity and was even considering abandoning that round to fight again in the future!
The others at the table remained silent, not daring to specte anymore:
Though they were reluctant to admit it, the way Alexander treated Isabe was indeed different,
especially whenpared to how he used to treat Eleanor,
Alexander calmly swept his gaze over to Lily, pondering for a moment before he spoke. “Have you
been watching too much TV? I never had a first crush.”
Having heard Isabe’sints one too many times, he had truly grown weary of that phrase
because
implied lingering feelings.
However, those words left Eleanor stunned, as if everything was denied. She couldn’t calm down,
unable to

decide on the best course of action. “Alexander, you’re so heartless. How could you speak of our
past like this? You-
“I’ve never imed you were my first crush, nor have ever felt that way,” Alexander said coldly.
“You were simply my ex–girlfriend. We parted on good terms, and both of us moved on amicably.
That’s our past. As for our previous rtionship…”
The look in Alexander’s eyes gradually turned cold. He didn’t want to be too merciless, but she and
Lily had already crossed the line. “I owe you an apology. It was only recently that I realized I’ve
never truly loved you. Starting a rtionship with you without being certain of that was wrong of me.
Since it was a mistake, naturally, there should be no possibility of continuation. Therefore, whether
it’s you or your friends, please stop these meaningless actions. You’ve already caused trouble for
me and my wife.”
