However, there was still a noticeable dissatisfaction in her gaze, especially upon seeing the man already neatly dressed in casual summer attire. Not to mention he was completely covered up, leaving no room for her eyes to wander. Isabella: It's not fair! He's seen all of me, but I haven't seen enough of him yet!
The more Isabella pondered, the more her curiosity grew. Her gaze fell on Alexander's body part that had become rigid the night before.
Isabella: It should be... pretty big, I guess,
Alexander was horrified. What on earth is she thinking!?
It seemed like she was the only one who could rightfully and reasonably ponder.
Feeling as though he was about to blow up in smoke, the man attempted to divert her attention by striking up a conversation.
Yet, before he even had a chance to speak, he heard Isabella's voice, as if she had made up her mind about something.
Isabella: I'll find an opportunity to get him drunk. Then, when he's completely defenseless, I'll strip him, have my way with him, and give him a bath. Hehehe...
Alexander was speechless. Feeling his cheeks burn, he slowly lowered his head, subconsciously calculating just how many drinks it would take for the alcohol to get to him.
The two of them didn't bring up the events of the previous night, each harboring their own little thoughts.
When it was time to change clothes, Isabella felt a moment of embarrassment. After all, Alexander had helped her put on her underwear before this.
It didn't end there. When she descended the stairs to meet the other young folks, she noticed Evian, Christopher, and Rosalie looking at her with ambiguous smiles. Later, when they went over to the main building for dinner, she saw that even David and Selena were discreetly observing her and Alexander.
Originally, Isabella felt somewhat embarrassed for oversleeping, but it wasn't long until she found out that the elders were looking at them with a rather amused expression.
Filled with doubt, she couldn't resist whispering to Alexander "Is there something I'm not aware of?"
Naturally, Alexander knew what was going on, having been subjected to all sorts of teasing from his family ever since he got up in the morning. He wasn't sure what his parents had told the rest of them, but they all had satisfied looks on their faces whenever they looked at him.
In response to his wife's question, Alexander candidly explained that he had initially asked his sisters to help him last night.
Hearing that, Isabella stared at him in dissatisfaction.
Isabella: Was it really necessary for him to chicken out and care about my innocence that much? Is he actually thinking of divorcing me?

At that moment, David's entire family suddenly started coughing at the dining table, regardless of what they were eating or drinking.
Everyone else looked at them strangely, wondering how in sync they were to even be choking on their food together.
Alexander froze for a second before hastily dispelling Isabella's doubts. While holding Isabella's hand under the table, he muttered to her, "You were already feeling uncomfortable from being drunk, so I... was worried I wouldn't be able to control myself and end up causing you pain."
That one sentence instantly made Isabella's cars burn, and she immediately felt better.
Isabella: Hehe! I knew it. He did say he liked me, didn't he?
In an instant, Alexander's gaze softened, his eyes alone depicting just how much he adored her. Watching the two of them exchanging sweet nothings, the rest of the family finally felt reassured.
Regardless of how things began, at least the two were deeply in love for now.
Without the presence of any party poopers, lunch turned out to be quite enjoyable. In the afternoon, they had initially planned to take those here for the first time out for some fun.
However, halfway through, Carlos received a phone call.
His expression shifted completely as he turned to Nina, who was far away taking pictures with everyone.
At that time, only Alexander was seated next to him, and both of them looked like adults supervising a group of kids at play. Alexander was engrossed in his phone, reviewing some information his subordinates had sent him. After all, several investigative orders had been issued the day before. The first and quickest to be completed was the investigation into the alleged affair of his cousin-in-law, Bennett. Various pieces of evidence had been received in no time.
Alexander also noticed that his older cousin standing nearby didn't seem quite right. "What's wrong?" he asked.
In response, Carlos anxiously stood up and answered, "Bennett got into an accident during the inspection. He's being rescued, but his condition is dire!"
As they were one family, the entire group of rushed to the hospital without another word.
Isabella sat in the car, her brows furrowed.
Isabella: Could this be karma? Disaster struck before I could even expose his true scumbag nature. Let's see... While inspecting the construction site, he was hit by a heavy object... This was the project I'd discussed with Alex previously. It's no wonder he wasn't optimistic about it. The location is ill-fitting, making construction extremely difficult. The project can't be executed well unless it's done by a top-notch team, but all the teams capable of handling such projects were already booked for other projects, so it was unrealistic to get this project started any time soon. But because all Bennett cared about was for Quirk Group to invest more money, he picked any random team to get the job done. Well, this is what he gets. The project hasn't even started, and he's already the first to face the consequences stemming from improper site preparation.
