Isabella's sigh made Alexander tense up.

It's strange. The strange! remarked Isabella in her mind, which caused Alexander to be taken aback.

lhat's strange? Is it really that odd that | don't fancy Eleanor Or is it that my current feelings for Isabella are

strange Alexander's restless heart couldn't help but sink a little.

He knew he had always been slow to react when it cto 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 Isabella's fervent pursuit

could he discern their affection for him. Also, it was only recently he becaware he was relatively 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.

Isabella 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

particularly insightful in the matter, a bit of rational analysis was enough for him to understand the answer,

which was that he had fallen for Isabella. 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 Isabella, 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 always composed, methodical, and logical Alexander once again found his thoughts in disarray due to

Isabella.

Like a teenager in adolescence, he was naive and bewildered,

If first love was defined by someone's genuine love for another, then Isabella 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 Isabella had said in the past, that an affection returned too late was worthless. Was she

saying strange because she remembered how cold | was when she read my mind?

However, there was nothing he could do about it. In the past, his relationship with Isabella was solely based on

obligation. If it weren't for the fact that Isabella appeared the same, he would have doubted if the past and

current Isabella were even the sindividual. At that moment, he only wanted to be with the current Isabella.

As Alexander reminisced, he was suddenly stunned when memories of a little girl flashed through his mind. She

was beaming at him, asking, "Alex, why are you so quiet? Can't you speak? If that's the case, lettalk more.

You'll learn to speak more if you listen. Letshare sgossip with you about my

family" 1/4

"Alex, you re incredibly handsome. In the future. | plan to earn a ton of money lake care of you!

"Alex, you are so thin. Eat more. | have a thing for six-packs!"

"Hahaha, your first kiss is mine. Alex!"

and

Alexander was taken aback by those memories. Is this Isabella from when she was a kid?

Given the close relationship between his and Isabella's families, it was common for them to arrange frequent

meetings, even though they didn't reside in the scity. 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 played

together while they were kids.

His memory was a blur. Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by Isabella's mental argument with the

WYSICUL

Isabella shouted in her mind. Why is there a mosaic here? | 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 outche was waiting for didn't arrive, and he was dumbfounded. What's going on? W there a

mosaic!.

Isabella'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? | have no

access to gossip from direct relevant figures? Alexander was confounded.

What does that mean? Is it someone who will directly affect my life? | don't understand! Is it because I'm not

divorced? He's my primary responsibility figure? That doesn't make sense | wasn't divorced before either!

exclaimed Isabella in

her mind.

Although Isabella wasn't a fanatic about prying into others’ private lives, she truly couldn't understand. what was

going on. The last tIsabella'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 | have feelings for her and that, for the sake of our

relationship's healthy progression, she's prevented from reading my mind.

Alexander was merely speculating wildly because the system was an unpredictable power.

Moreover, there was something that Alexander found quite peculiar. Isabella seems perpetually unaware of our

ability to read her mind. Is it also because it'll affect her life? Hmm, it appears | better not disclose this detail to

Isabella.

In truth, Alexander also wanted to get to know Isabella on an equal footing. He had no intention of keeping the

ability to peek into her thoughts.

However, with how things were, all he could do was observe in silence. Even though Alexander was feeling

quite frustrated, his innocence had yet to be proven.

It doesn't matter if she can't see my information. Alexander looked at Isabella with a smile, his gaze becoming

Even gentler.

It seemed that with every introspection and every attempt to discern his own feelings, he becincreasingly

aware of how extraordinarily special Isabella was to him.

He could strive to prove that he sincerely wanted to continue a wonderful journey with Isabella.

His only hope was that when he revealed his feelings for Isabella 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, Isabella 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 Isabella wipe the comer 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 Isabella 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 claim that was intentional on

Alexander's part. Eleanor paled, for she alone knew the truth. Despite their romantic relationship 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 Isabella and Alexander were taken aback.

Isabella was so preoccupied 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 | subconsciously touched

her lips when | was recalling the memory of Isabella saying she claimed 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 penetrated 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 uncomfortable, 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 Isabella, Lily was absolutely furious.

Still, out of politeness, Alexander turned to Lily. "What?"

His expression remained infuriatingly clueless.

Lily audibly inhaled sharply and glared 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 glanced at Isabella, pretending to be

genuinely afraid of angering the latter and disrupting their harmonious relationship.

"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 glances. at

Alexander.

Alexander calmly thought about what to say before uttering, "Um... | wish you a swift recovery."
