Chapter 336 Make A Formal Appearance +5 Pearls
However, the current Alexander was inseparable from Isabella. Due to their collective return to Yrinas, they were quite hesitant. They thought it would be best to wait until the wedding. By then, they would bring the young couple over to Yrinas.
Furthermore, they were a tad anxious. After all, at the moment, the members of the branch family couldn't hear Isabella's inner thoughts.
The peculiar situation surrounding Isabella was still unclear, so it was best not to involve too many people.
Of course, the Quirks also felt the need to inquire about Isabella's thoughts.
At that moment, Isabella's mind was filled with nothing but Alexander. She seemed to finally understand why he was initially emotionally distant and indifferent to others. He only showed interest in others' matters on the surface, but behind the scenes, he would take action to help them. His reserved and silent
nature had a reason.
A deep ache began to throb in Isabella's heart, and suddenly, all she wanted was to hold Alexander in her
arms.
Upon hearing the inquiry from the Quirks, Isabella immediately responded, "Wherever my husband is, that's where I'll be. I have no intention of being separated from him."

Seemingly filled with some kind of indignation, she made an exaggerated declaration. This happened to be overheard by Alexander, who had just arrived at the front door.
Alexander blinked, frozen at the doorway, his face beginning to blush again. He cleared his throat and said, "I've mentioned before that you can accompany me to the office if you want to. It won't disrupt my work."
Isabella was at a loss for words.
Upon hearing this, the Quirks realized that Alexander had missed the previous conversation. They breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment they found themselves in a mix of laughter and tears. These two were once again flaunting their affection in front of them. Of course, Alexander was not so thoughtless. In fact, he also realized that the other members of the Quirk family were planning to return to Yrinas.
He remembered his grandfather's birthday. Every year, he actually sent gifts, and occasionally, he would video chat with the old man. It was just that he couldn't go back.
Alexander's emotions had mostly faded when he thought about that place. However, if asked if he wanted to go back, the answer would definitely be no.
But whenever he thought of Isabella, he felt a certain itch in his heart. He should bring Isabella to an event like this.
Just as Alexander found himself in a rare state of indecision, a call from Lionel came through.
Alexander was in the midst of handling documents when he heard the ringtone. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Bella, could you answer the phone for me?" Inhall

Before Isabella could even speak, a weathered, aged voice came from the other end. "Alexander, are you planning to skip my birthday banquet again?"
Isabella was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said politely, "Hello Grandpa, this is Isabella. Please hold on for a moment. I will let Alexander take the call."
The other party seemed to pause for a moment. Isabella, not wanting to engage in small talk with an unfamiliar elder, quickly handed Alexander his phone,
Upon hearing the familiar address, Alexander instantly recognized who was on the other end of the line. He picked up the call and greeted, "Grandpa."
Lionel asked, "Was that your wife just now? You two are together during work hours? You even let her answer your calls? Seems like the rumors are true then. Although Lionel's tone seemed quite pleasant, his speech was intermittent. The sound of a respirator humming in the background could be heard.
"Bella accompanied me to work. Grandpa, why did you call?"
Isabella was cautiously observing Alexander when she heard a somewhat deep voice coming from the other end of the phone. "This year marks my ninetieth birthday, and we have the most family members and guests gathered than ever before. As the current head of the Quirk family, shouldn't you make a formal appearance with your wife?"
Alexander's eyes flickered as he turned to look at Isabella, who was standing by his side.
Isabella shrugged, indicating she didn't care.
I don't care about making an appearance. If Alexander doesn't like it, we won't go. Everything else is just trivial.
A warmth spread through Alexander's heart. Unable to resist, he pulled Isabella into his arms with one hand, embracing the comfort she brought.

The voice on the other end of the phone continued without waiting for a response, "I know my own body.
I'm not sure if I'll have the chance to celebrate another birthday next year. While the Quirk family still has
an old man like me around, I want to support you, be your backing, and pave the way for you..."
In reality, Lionel had put in a lot of effort. Among all his descendants, only Alexander received personal phone calls from him. His persuasive tone was also quite unique because of Alexander's special circumstances. 1.8K
