    only came once a year,


    Despite Lionel’s earnest advice on the phone, his inherent dignity prompted him to maintain a stern


    demeanor once they met in person. He nodded subtly, then handed over a generous mary gift.


    Upon receiving it, Alexander immediately passed it to Isabe. Isabe, holding the thick envelope,


    smiled even more sincerely. Her reaction was one that the elders loved to see when they gave out


    such gifts.


    Cahan and Isabe were asked by Marley to sit on either side of her, right next to the main couch


    where she and Lionel were seated.


    Everyone else gradually took their seats.


    Caitlin, due to her old age, primarily resided in the Quirk estate with Lionel. Eric, who was originally


    from Yrinas, visited frequently. Felix, who lived in the neighboring city Gishwick, also made regr


    trips back home. At this point, only Greta and Hansel were left.


    “Niel ran into some business trouble, so he and his family are still overseas dealing with it. They’ll


    probably be back a bitter. Hansel’s family is waiting for their daughter to finish her exams, and


    they’ll return home once that’s done. Maeve and her family are also still abroad.”


    It took a moment for Isabe to remember Maeve, the youngest daughter who was Marley’s own


    child.


    David said, “I’ve heard. Let’s introduce Isabe and Cahan to everyone first. Otherwise, these two


    youngsters wouldn’t even know how to address everyone.”


    “Let me do it, Dad,” volunteered Alexander, causing a momentary silence to fall over the room.


    Though many present had interacted with Alexander in a professional capacity and even


    exchanged pleasantries, it was rare to meet him personally. To see Alexander take the initiative was


    even more extraordinary.


    Quietlyforting Isabe by holding her hand, Alexander began introducing her to each of his


    family members, starting with Caitlin.


    Caitlin’s family included herself, Adam, their eldest daughter Sarah, Sarah’s husband Bet, their


    daughter Nina, and Carlos.


    Isabe maintained a perfect smile, taking the initiative to greet everyone. Her gaze swept over


    each person, making sure that she could match everyone’s faces to their names.


    Caitlin’s family… They’ve passed.


    David and the rest breathed a sigh of relief.


    Alexander was puzzled.


    Evian asked Cahan to greet them. When he was introduced to Nina, the two children quickly


    formed a bond. It seemed likely that they would be ying together soon.


    Caitlin chuckled. “Earlier, Dad and Aunt Marley insisted we all watch a show together. It was the


    one where Isabe and Christopher were in, and they were fantastic! You guys even won the


    championship!”

    Christopher’s appearances on the variety show. Although they might be too old to truly understand


    what the show was about or to keep up with the livements, they knew that Isabe and


    Christopher had won every time.


    Thankfully, they seemed oblivious to the chaos unfolding on the inte. Otherwi won’t be able to


    gossip leisurely.


    The entire Quirk family couldn’t help but chuckle as they talked to Caitlin.

    However, one of themcked sensibility. It was Bet who first broke the silence. “By the way,


    Alexander, was there anything you disliked about the new project I mentioned to you earlier?”


    Both Sarah and Carlos‘ expressions froze on their faces.


    It was hard to decide if he was just too career–minded or oblivious. It was almost time to introduce


    Eric’s family.


    Alexander said nonchntly, “We don’t discuss work at home.”


    With a single sentence, Bet was silenced. Alexander’s tone wasmanding yet calm, leaving


    Bet. disgruntled but unable to retaliate. All he could do wasugh awkwardly.


    Noticing the hostile expression on Bet’s face, Isabe thought of something.


    Obsessed with his work? Let me investigate! Oh my! There’s something interesting!


    David and the rest were taken aback. They had mentally prepared themselves for some unexpected


    revtions when they brought Isabe over. However, they didn’t expect things to unfold this


    quickly.
