Naturally, Roland stepped out to shake off the others and text Alexander about Eleanor's attendance at the get-together later. But finding that the couple had already arrived, he could only awkwardly greet them first

"Oh, you've arrived"

Alexander nodded.

Isabella, on the other hand, greeted warmly with a smile. "Hello.

Then, she promptly began to look Roland up and down

Whoa! He brought along his girlfriend, who's pregnant out of wedlock! What? They haven't announced the pregnancy vet? Well, it makes sense. After all, it was an unexpected pregnancy, and he only found out about it after he returned from a business trip. They might announce it later and start planning for the wedding.

The look in Alexander's eyes on Roland uncontrollably changed.

He only knew that the man had always wanted to marry his long-term girlfriend, but she always asked him to wait a bit longer. Unexpectedly, they were given a double blessing all at once.

Roland remained unfazed by their gazes, merely asking with slight unease, "Um... Alexander, come with me for a moment. Isabella, could you please wait for us here for a bit?" Alexander looked at him in puzzlement.

Isabella raised an eyebrow. What does that mean? Surely, he can't be asking Alexander to accompany him to the restroom because he's scared to go alone?

All at once, Alexander was struck dumb, at a loss for words. What nonsense is she going on about?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Isabella's head. Oh, I know! Could it be that the people in there dislike me and would rather I didn't join them, so he came to warn Alerander? Alexander's expression changed subtly. He felt that the possibility existed since things undeniably ended in much unpleasantness the last time.

"Just spit it out," he said coldly.

Even though he wasn't sure what the matter was exactly, there was nothing related to him that he felt he needed to hide from Isabella.

However, his words almost had the color drain from Roland's face.

How am I supposed to do so? The last person who did had a drink thrown in her face by Isabella

Faking a smile, Roland subtly hinted at Alexander, fibbing. "It's not that... I don't have anything to say to you... Could you accompany me to the restroom?" Words cluded Alexander.

Pfft! Haha... I was only running my mouth. Yet, he stole my idea. Anyway, his expression is so weird.

Isabella's eyes flickered, and she pushed Alexander along, saying, "You guys go ahead, then. I'll wait right

Relict instantly washed over Roland. She has truly changed. She's so accommodating note

All Alexander could do was silently turn around and follow Roland toward the restroom.

Hopefully, he isn't really asking me to accompany him to the restroom....

They had only walked a short distance when Roland leaned in nervously and whispered, "Let me tell you this. Your Oh my goodness!

An exclamation of surprise echoed in Alexander's ear.

At the same time, two voices rang out simultaneously.

-Your ex-girlfriend, Eleanor, will also be coming tonight."

His first crush has returned to the country! On top of that, she's coming over soon!

Alexander froze, looking at Roland in surprise even as he glanced at Isabella in the distance out of his peripheral vision. Isabella's eyes had gone wide, and her pupils quivered slightly. It was as if she was trying to process that piece of news.

"I'm not so much worried about you, but her. I'm not sure it's a good idea for them to meet. While she's still unaware of it, you should do something about it," Roland murmured worriedly.

Alexander cast him a glance of resignation. She already knows, and in even more detail than any of you to boot.

How could I have forgotten about it? The email specified the time she'd return. I was just too busy with gossip...

Isabella's thoughts sounded rather frustrated. However, Alexander's lips curved up slightly. You're finally realizing panicked now, huh?

Isabella's thoughts continued playing. I almost missed out on this tremendous opportunity! The contract I signed today turned out to be a real bargain. When we divorce, I'll have two hundred million, the investments Alexander made for me, and an agency. Adding it all up, I'm about to attain complete financial freedom!

Alexander's expression abruptly went as black as thunder.

Still, Isabella wasn't done. Oh my, I wasn't even given a heads-up when a windfall comes my way. I'm not even dolled up to welcome this blissful moment! Alexander took a deep breath.

Unexpectedly, Isabella's thoughts took on a different tune. No, that's not right. I should be wan and antious instead. Then, when Alexander divorces me for his first crush, the entire family will sympathize with me. Besides, I've been behaving well lately. He probably won't be ruthless to me. Who knows, he might be generous, and I might even get more than expected. Hehe... I must put on an act when I see his first crush later.

Put on an act? I shall like how you're going to do so later.

Chapter 152 His First Crush is Coming Over

-5 Pearis

Initially, Alexander planned to decide whether to join the get-together according to Isabella's wishes since her previous self was truly averse toward Eleanor.

But right then, their participation was a must.

He was determined to show her firsthand that he wouldn't divorce her because of some irrelevant

person.

You want a divorce? Not a chance!

Ignoring Roland ramblings, Alexander strode toward Isabella.

When Roland saw Alexander's expression abruptly turn frosty, he figured that the man probably also found the situation uncomfortable and perhaps planned on leaving with Isabella directly to avoid the awkwardness.

To his surprise. Alexander went over to Isabella and wrapped an arm around her, leading her forward before she even realized what was happening.

Even more surprising, they were headed to the ballroom.

Roland was somewhat taken aback.

What's going on! From my understanding of this buddy of mine, he has no lingering feelings for Eleanor. Back when they broke up, he wasn't even sad. I once wondered whether he ever truly cared for her. But what's happening now? Why do I feel that he's angry! Just a moment ago. Isabella was merely waiting there quietly. So, he can't be mad at her. Could it be that he's upset with Eleanor? But that doesn't make sense. A headache assailed Roland. Unable to make sense of it all, he could only follow behind the couple in a

daze.

Isabella was still lost in her daydreams of a beautiful future. Although her breath caught for a moment, making her feel as if she was drowning, it was quickly washed away by her delightful fantasies. Unexpectedly, she was suddenly pulled into an embrace.

In reality, it wasn't quite an embrace but more of a courteous, nominal support at the lower back, guiding her forward. However, the force was a bit too strong, almost causing her to stumble.

"Let's go." Alexander's voice was cold and detached, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

Nonetheless, Isabella sensed that he seemed a bit upset.

Sure enough! It's here! Here he comes with some tactics up his sleeve!

Alexander disregarded her nonsensical thoughts. After all, no matter what she said at that moment, he wouldn't find it pleasing to the ear.

Hearing that his first crush is coming over, he's all emotional! He's now so eager to meet her that he's taking huge strides at once. On top of that, he adamantly brought me along, adopting such an intimate posture to boot. Isn't it all an act for his first crush? Oh well, I've become nothing more than a prop for real.

At Isabella's analysis, the veins on Alexander's forehead throbbed violently.

Isabella's thought continued gratingly. But dear ex-husband, your first crush ha

Alexander was already so livid that his blood boiled. Yet, he could only grit his teeth and bear with it.

After breaking up his first love left the country and didn't return for many years. Now that she's finally back, it would be bittersweet love. Misunderstandings would be aired, and the relationship rekindled! Although, by all right, I should play the role of the wicked wife to be the catalyst, I can't risk it for the sake of alimony!

As Isabella's thoughts continued playing. Alexander felt as if his soul had been sucked out of him. His arm around her unconsciously tightened its hold From Roland's angle, the man seemed to have encircled Isabella completely, acting incredib intimately. Roland's eyes widened uncontrollably.

Isabella herself wasn't quite sure what was happening. Her mind grew increasingly active, racing at a high speed for reasons unknown. Consequently, she was wholly oblivious to the gradual intimacy between

them.

Imagining the upcoming situation. I wonder how intense it would be. Would dear ex-husband lose his composure at the first sight of her... Ouch! Why did he pinch me?

When the server saw them approaching, he promptly opened the door.

In an instant, all eyes in the ballroom swung over.

The sight that greeted them was of Alexander standing at the door with an arm wrapped tightly around Isabella's waist and the other hand pinching her cheek. They stood incredibly close, their intimacy resembling playful banter between lovers. Everyone was stunned, for they had never seen Alexander wearing such an animated expression and behaving so childishly.

That had never once happened.
