Chapter 339 The Love Glow +5 Pearls
Upon seeing that Alexander was fine, everyone soon shifted their attention to Isabella on Alexander's arm, and of course, the little star of the show, Callahan.
Evian naturally informed the family about the matter of her acknowledging her son, Callahan. However, the previous welcome party was held hastily. The Quirk family intended to hold it in their hometown, but considering Callahan's schooling and integration into their social circle, they decided to hold it locally first. At that time, only the relatives from the city were present.
The closest relatives here couldn't make it due to a variety of reasons and only sent gifts over. Hence, like Isabella, that was essentially their first meeting.
Needless to say, the person they were most curiosity about was still Isabella.
Their feelings toward her were rather complex. After all, Isabella's union with Alexander was not exactly through honorable means, and she married the head of the Quirk family. They didn't welcome such a woman taking on the role of the lady of the family. But from the look of things then, the couple had genuinely grown fond of each other over time.
As relatives, they were expected to respect Isabella for Alexander's sake. Thus, they wouldn't openly pick trouble with her or embarrass her. Doing so would be akin to a slap in Alexander's face, and they wouldn't stoop so low as to harm their own family. Nonetheless, they were still somewhat bothered deep down.
Their only hope was to get to know her well through their meeting this time.
So far, their first impression of her was promising. Not only did she have a perpetual smile and was beautiful, but there was also a natural rapport when she stood with Alexander. She truly didn't seem to be the type of girl who would resort to drugging someone, 1224
While occupied with her thoughts, Isabella sensed Christopher and Rosalie rush over. Beaming, Christopher greeted every member of the family.
Rosalie was the first to approach and take hold of her wrist. "Bella, I missed you so much."
Instantly, both Selena and Evian interrupted jealously, You didn't miss us?"
"No, I did." Rosalie flashed them an incredibly sweet smile.

"Why does it feel like you've become even more beautiful, Rosie?" Isabella commented with a smile.
Rosalie immediately looked at Isabella with stars in her eyes, gazing at her adoringly.
Don't tell me... she's dating again? She'd better not get duped again!
Rosalie wailed inwardly. Ahh! Please don't bring up my bad past!
As the entire family swung their gazes at her in puzzlement, Rosalie quickly shook her head in denial.
"Why are you shaking your head?" Isabella asked, curious.
Rosalie looked at Isabella aggrievedly.
"She probably finds you much more beautiful as well and shook my head to check if her eyes were playing

"So, you also find me more beautiful now?" Isabella asked with a laugh.
With a chuckle, Christopher affirmed, "Yes, but it's all thanks to Alex. The love glow, you know."

He teasingly nudged Alexander with his elbow. In the group chat, he could only do so through text. It was a rare opportunity to meet him in person, so he couldn't resist teasing the man for a bit.
A hint of amusement twinkled in Alexander's eyes. "Bella has always been beautiful."
Immediately, Christopher put on an expression of disbelief. Witnessing the man finally falling in love was indeed quite a shock.
Although Alexander's praise made Isabella blush a little, she understood it was a tease on Christopher's end. She said nothing, but she certainly didn't let him off easily inwardly.
But of course. We have the love glow, unlike you, Christopher Just by looking at your lack of progress, I can tell that you probably didn't dare contact her all this time you were away. At most, you just gazed at her campus gate. Hearing that, Christopher wailed soundlessly. Please spare me!
Alexander blushed. Indeed, the love glow exists.
The rest of the Quirk family stifled their laughter.
The other relatives of the Quirk family who gradually approached were somewhat surprised at their interaction.
It also gave them an understanding of things-regardless of the rumors out there, David and his family genuinely accepted Isabella as their daughter-in-law at the very least.
When Isabella came out and saw the crowd, her face instantly lit up with the widest smile.
She waited eagerly for the New Year's version of a family reunion.
However, in such a public setting, it was naturally impossible to greet everyone one by one. The elders served as representatives and greeted her briefly before they proceeded to head out. The plan was to formally introduce everyone after they had arrived at the Quirk estate.
David and his family was arranged to travel in one car.
As soon as they met, everyone had an endless stream of stories to share. The atmosphere buzzed with lively chatter and laughter.
Conversely, the atmosphere in other cars was very much different.
For the family of Caitlin Quirk, Alexander's aunt, no elders came. Because Caitlin and her husband, Adam, were quite old, they chose not to tire themselves out by making a round trip by car.
