Chapter 264 Fascinated By Her Beauty
When Isabe woke up, she found himself in a warm embrace.
Her nose brushed against his firm chest. The air she breathed was filled with his pleasant scent.
Finished
Isabe felt a tickle in her nose, so she rubbed it against the curve of the other person’s chest.
However, she sensed that the other person seemed to have pulled away a bit.
Groggily, she opened her eyes,
finding herself against a man’s chest. As she looked up, she was immediately struck by the sight of
a stunningly handsome face, causing her to startle.
Recalling her audacious demands fromst night, Isabe immediately gave herself a mental pat
on the back for her boldness
While she didn’t often suffer from insomnia, there were still varying degrees of quality to her sleep.
She could swear, in her two lifetimes of memories, she had never experienced such high–quality
sleep before.
Alexander was simply like an aromatherapist.
“Good morning.” Alexander said softly, his voice carrying the uniquenguid and raspy tones of the
early morning.
The two shifted their positions, and Isabe pulled herself out of Alexander’s embrace.
However, when Isabe got a clear look at Alexander’s face, which was almost turning a shade of
green, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
“Not used to this? Didn’t sleep well?”
Alexander paused, appearing somewhat uneasy. “Not at all, I had afortable sleep, better than
when I… sleep alone.”
Isabe wondered if Alexander’s sleep quality was usually poor.
Is thisplexion considered well–rested now?
In truth, Alexander hadn’t slept well. Thankfully, Isabe couldn’t use the system to check on him,
otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to keep up the facade.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t ustomed to it, but Isabe was restless in sleep. She tossed and turned,
which would have been fine, but she had a tendency to be rather clingy.
She would hug him and cling on to him in her sleep.
At first, it was incredibly sweet, but it didn’t take long before it turned into a burden.
In truth, Isabe was unaware that he had gotten up in the middle of the night.
He had never before felt such embarrassment while calming himself down before,
Once he returned andid down, Isabe wrapped herself around him again, making it very difficult

He had barely managed to calm his natural morning reaction, but as soon as Isabe woke up, he
almost lost control again.
Of course, he couldn’t me his wife for this, it was his ownck of self–controll
“Ah!”
Suddenly, Isabe let out a startled cry.
“What’s wrong?” Alexander had already gotten out of bed when he heard her cry, instantly
bing anxious. He thought he might have identally lost control and sucked on her neck the
night before, leaving some sort of mark. He had sneakily checked and there was nothing, after all,
he hadn’t dared to apply any force, it was just a momentary loss of control.
“It’s already half past nine!” Isabe eximed in surprise, “You’rete for work.”
After all, whenever Isabe woke up, Alexander was already in his office. Their morning routines
werepletely different.
“It’s okay,” said Alexander.
Although he had woken up quite some time ago, he had made a promise. Naturally, he had to let
Isabe hold onto him until she woke up on her own. He couldn’t disturb her sleep.
Isabe was dumbfounded, sitting on the bed staring nkly at Alexander.
Should these words really being from Alexander? The workaholic has stopped working? He’s
fallen off the wagon! It’s true what they say about beauty leading men astray. If he doesn’t buckle
down and work, his little fortune…..
Alexander thought, “….So, money is indeed important, isn’t it?”
Feeling helpless, Alexander dismissed Isabe’s wild imagination. He stepped forward and lightly
tapped Isabe’s forehead with his finger.
“Since you’re awake, why not get up? Let’s have breakfast together. Don’t worry, I’ll head to work
right after cating, I won’t dy.”
Isabe chuckled dryly.
Alexander’s toiletries and clothes were all on the other side, so he naturally had to go back.
However, before leaving, he couldn’t resist asking. “Did you sleep wellst night?”
Isabe had also gotten up and was about to freshen up. On hearing this, she nodded. “I had a
fantastic sleep.”
Alexander stood tall and elegant by the door, his slender fingers resting on the doorknob. He dared
not -look at Isabe as he suggested, “So… how about Ie back tomorrow to be your cuddle
pillow?”
Isabe paused, not responding immediately. She had thought thatst night was just a small perk.
It was undeniable that his proposal was truly tempting
After a moment of hesitation, Isabe finally spoke up. All right, sure.”
Alexander finally breathed out the breath he had been holding.

Since Isabe seemed to be still struggling, Alexander did not insist on moving his personal
belongings in. It was enough for him to juste over every night to serve as her pillow.
He believed that, with time, Isabe would gradually ept him.
When the two descended the stairs together, they were met with the focused attention of the Quirk
family members.
Even Evian, who was supposed to be off to work, intentionally stayed back just to witness this
miracle.
After all, it was quite unusual that Alexander was stillzing in bed at this hour, not yet leaving for
work.
Could it be that things really happenedst night, which is why he overslept?
However, seeing Isabe descend with an unperturbed expression, her mind was filled with
thoughts of ine and Zendaya’s situation. They knew then that nothing had happened.
The condemning and scornful gazes from David, Selena, and Evian were directed at Alexander,
causing him to momentarily falter in his steps, overwhelmed by embarrassment.
Left with no other choice, the trio vented their frustrations within their group chat.
After that, they happily sat down for a meal with Isabe and Alexander at the table.
Although Isabe used to stay upte in the past, whenever she had a meal, anyone at home would
come to join her, even if it was just for a cup of tea. They never let Isabe feel lonely.
The group chatted about thetest gossip for a while, and through Isabe’s inner thoughts, they
came to understand some of the subsequent developments.
ine and Zendaya had finally found their closure. The sisters chatted until they could no longer
keep their eyes open. They even shared a bed, curled up in an intimate slumber.
It seems that only a scenario where Clifford is hurt hase to pass. Astonishingly, Millie’s family
caused a scene, insisting that Clifford marry Millie. They argued that Clifford had deceived Millie’s
feelings. Given that Clifford’s reputation was already tarnished, they figured it would be better for
them to form a marriage alliance.
The Quirk family thought, “Is that even possible? Would the youngdy still want Clifford?”
Alexander felt that Clifford would not agree.
The Decker family did start to mull over the situation. They were aware that Clifford’s actions the
previous night had offended the Graham family, making them aughingstock within their social
circle. Itwas clear that Clifford wouldn’t be able to marry someone from a respectable family
anymore. Hence, they chose Millie; at least she was smitten and would unquestionably support
Clifford.
The Quirk family thought, “It’s really hard to say whether Clifford should be pitied or not.”
The Decker family initially nned to take Clifford to meet Millie to discuss the possibility of
marriage. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Clifford escaped through a window midway,
leaving a message saying he would rather die than marry a woman he didn’t love. Unfortunately, he
identally broke his leg during the escape, putting an end to the marriage discussion.
The Quirk family thought. “Ah, this… It’s a bit tragic. But it’s also kind of funny. What’s going on?”

Alexander was starting to feel a headacheing on. It seemed like he would have to find time that
day to deal with the unfortunate matter.
Indeed, when he took out his phone, he had already received a message from Rnd. They had
also heard the news and wanted to invite Alexander to visit together.
When Alexander asked Isabe if she wanted to follow, Isabe decided against it. She recalled
how Clifford had previously enjoyed teasing her about her metaphysics. If she were to go, she
feared he might me her for any misfortunes that befell him, which would just cause unnecessary
trouble.
Before heading to work. Alexander simply made a quick visit, offered a fewforting words, then
continued to diligently earn money at hispany.
The news spread quickly simply because it was rare for Alexander to bete, and the reason was
that he overslept. After all, Alexander would never make up a false excuse for beingte, so the
reason must be genuine.
Could it be that even Alexander would be fascinated by a woman’s beauty?
His employees didn’t believe that Alexander would bete just because he overslept alone. They
were certain that he would only bete if he was with his wife:
Rumors about the couple’s increasingly sweet rtionship began to circte, and people even
started cing bets on when they would hold their wedding.
Yet, they were unaware that Alexander was just getting started.
However, after that incident, Alexander was neverte again. Isabe solemnly stated that she was
essentially a heavy sleeper, so Alexander could wake up whenever he wanted.
Although he was truly reluctant to leave herforting embrace, he was aware of what his greatest
advantage was in Isabe’s eyes.
A few dayster, Isabe found herself once again at Quirk Group.
This time, there was a valid reason. She was there to meet Alexander after work so they could
together prepare the engagement gift for Deborah.
The balcony on the second floor was a location where incidents often ur.
While Alexander was in a meeting, Isabe was savoring hot coffee on the balcony. She noticed a
group of people walk in, chatting andughing amongst themselves.
“Mr. Oliver, rest assured, Ms. Willis will definitely be our first consideration for the leadingdy in this
project.”
“Don’t bother prioritizing her. I’m quite familiar with Mr. Alexander. I just think this minor issue isn’t
worth a special mention.”
Isabe was puzzled.
As she turned around, she saw a man, bearing a passing resemnce to Damien, acting rather
sleazy as he wrapped his arms around a woman. She was dressed provocatively, her face full of
intelligence.
Her identity was essentially confirmed.

Oh! Gossip. Wait, that’s not right, Deborah once mentioned that this level doesn’t qualify as gossip
anymore. It’s just a bit too ring for the eyes.
