Chapter 205 Is He Waiting For Dakota
+5 Pearls
The elders from both sides took turns introducing their younger family members to each other.
Caleb, the eldest son of the Hampton family and the party’s host, naturally assumed the primary
role of entertaining the guests
He spoke with refined elegance and carried himself with grace. Although he wasn’t as handsome as
Josiah. his demeanor was nheless extraordinary. Among the younger generation, his abilities
might not have been as exceptional as Alexander’s, but he was undoubtedly among the best
No wonder the Hampton family decided to make him the heir without any qualmi
Audrey that lunatic already has such a good man, yet still not content with what she already has.
Talk about being overly greedy.
Some members of the Quirk family were meeting Caleb for the first time, but they had a perfect first
impression of him. Therefore, upon hearing Isabe’s inner thoughts, they couldn’t help but agree
wholeheartedly.
Caleb was clearly quite exceptional in many ways, yet Audrey was ungrateful for what she had.
Reflecting on the troubles Audrey caused for Josiah, their gazes toward Caleb softened with even
more sympathy
As Caleb exchanged pleasantries, he inexplicably felt a chill down his spine, causing him to
shudder involuntarily.
“The ballroom for the wine tasting party is all set up. Please forgive us for any shorings in our
preparations, as there are still a few things left to finish. How about we have Josiah apany
everyone to the ballroom first?”
Given that Alexander and Josiah were close friends, it was only natural for Caleb to want Josiah to
treat his friend well.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw Josiah looking absent–minded. Rumor had it that
he’d fought with his girlfriend. Although he wasn’t sure what Josiah was up to, he knew that he
couldn’t let Josiah’s emotions affect his hospitality, especially not on a day like this.
Caleb patted Josiah’s back, chuckling as he reminded, “Josiah, don’t just stand there, quickly attend
to your buddy”
Josiah had dark circles under his eyes, and his spirits were quite low. He truly looked like
someone tormented by love.
Regaining hisposure, Josiah could only muster his energy, stepping forward to lead the
Quirk family members into the ballroom.
Noah and Lorelei naturally kept David and Selenapany while Caleb continued with the
preparation work
“Hubby, I haven’t finished my makeup yet, so I’m going to the makeup room,” Audrey whispered to
Caleb. as she stayed close to his side.
Caleb nodded.

Chapter 205 Is He Waiting For Dakota
+5 Pearls
Seeing Audrey not walking with them and appearing as though she was only halfway through her
styling. Isabe immediately realized something.
Good heavens, I almost miss out on the exciting plot!
The members of the Quirk family, who were walking into the ballroom together, immediately perked
up. their cars to listen in to Isabe’s thoughts.
Dakota was already here, but Josiah had been sulking inside since earlier, so he wasn’t aware that
Dakota had arrived. Il hat good timing! Since Dakota is already here, we’re stuck at the opening
credits it seems,
The Quirks were stunned.
At that moment, they entered the ballroom and felt as if they had stepped into a fairnd. The sight
of various wine bottles, sses, and rted utensils arrayed in diverse arrangements under the
crystal chandelier was absolutely stunning.
At every disy table, a server was specifically assigned to pour wine for tasting.
In one corner, various musical instruments were arranged, evidently awaiting the arrival of a band
invited to perform and enhance the ambiance.
The Quirks couldn’t help but reveal their surprise, which the Hamptons mistook as their
astonishment at the grandeur of the venue.
Noah and Lorelei felt proud.
Lorelei chuckled. “All of this was orchestrated and arranged by Caleb and Audrey.”
Although the Quirk family wasn’t stunned by the decor, they had to give theirpliments after
Lorelei’sment. After all, the arrangement had been quite impressive.
“Tonight’s wine tasting party is the first one we’ve hosted,” Noah said with a smile. “I’m not sure if
there will be any shorings, but I do hope it will be to our guests‘ liking.”
“This arrangement is good,” David objectively remarked.
“As long as I can leave an impression on everyone, that’s all that matters, haha,” Noah immediately
expressed with joy.
Oh, poor Mr. Noah. It’s a project that the Hampton family ns to focus on, but then their eldest
daughter–inw is using it to single out their youngest son’s girlfriend. Tsk, isk, isk. If things go
wrong, it might just leave asting impression on their guests tonight.
Upon hearing Isabe’s sarcastic thought, everyone turned their gaze to Noah and Lorelei, who
were beaming with joy. They silently sympathized with them. After all, a husband would hope for a
virtuous wife, but Noah and Lorelei could only endure with a daughter–inw like that.
Noah and Lorelei were confused as to why the Hampton family members were looking at them with
such an odd expression and wondered if some arrangements were amiss.
After arranging the seating, Josiah sat next to Alexander instead of showing the expected
enthusiasm of seeing a good friend, he kept looking at his phone distractedly.
Is he waiting for Dakota to reach out to him?

Chapter 205 is He Waiting For Dakota
Everyone sneakily nced at Josiah upon hearing Isabe’s thought.

Indeed, Josiah’s expression was dark. He had been giving Dakota the silent treatment for three
days. Yet, Dakota hadn’t reached out to him at all, and he wondered what that implied.
Is she feeling guilty so she doesn’t dare to call me? Or is she ying hard to get? If she’s even the
slightest bit sincere, shouldn’t she reach out to me and offer an exnation and apologies?
The more Josiah thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so upset that he didn’t even want
to stay for the wine tasting party and nearly tempted to seek Dakota out to demand an exnation.
Yet his pride and dignity prevented him from doing so.
Seeing Isabe, looking rather eager for gossip, Alexander pondered for a moment before deciding
to take the initiative to find some gossip to entertain his wife.
Turning to Josiah, he asked, “What’s wrong? You seem off today.”
Josiah felt rather stifled and was about to voice hisints when he spotted Isabe, practically
leaning her entire body on Alexander’s shoulder. Even though she wasn’t looking in their direction,
she seemed to be eavesdropping, her gossip–ready posture effectively killed his desire to vent.
Moreover, with all the elders around, he naturally felt hesitant to speak up. “It’s nothing.”
I waited so long for this? As expected, he can’t speak up.
Alexander shot a resigned nce at Isabe upon hearing her thought. However, feeling the weight
on his shoulders and the fragrant scent wafting from her side, Alexander couldn’t help but curve his
lips into a smile. He dared not move an inch, hoping she would lean on him longer.
However, Isabe suddenly sat up straight.
It’s starting! It’s starting! Audrey is chatting with Dakota about boyfriends. Is this the beginning of
some sort of scheme? Oh, I want to go to the makeup room to see it happening live! What should I
do? Should I find an excuse to go to the second floor? What excuse is suitable.
The Quirk family also began to feel anticipation bubbling within them but being able to witness and
listen to gossip right then and there was already good enough, finding a usible excuse to delve
into the nitty gritty details would be quite the challenge.
Quietly, Alexander nced at his shoulder, pursed his lips, and gazed at Isabe. Something
flickered across his eyes a few times before he raised his hand.
Isabe was in the midst of devising a n when she suddenly felt a brush against her lips.
It wasn’t the first time Alexander did that. Isabe had an inexplicable deep–seated memory of the
particr sensation, so she immediately caught on and looked at Alexander in surprise.
What on earth is he doing?
Perhaps Alexander had already confessed his feelings, so Isabe had be particrly
sensitive to certain actions of his.
“Your lipstick is smudged,” said Alexander. He then turned to Josiah and asked, “Is there a ce
nearby where my wife can touch up her makeup?”
