Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 533 Teasing Glances
Finished
The passionate night had left her with a sore waist and aching back. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt that much. She remembered Alexander had given her a massage.
When Alexander emerged, he saw his wife with her face flushed a deep red. The white of her exposed shoulder bore the mark of his kiss. His gaze darkened momentarily before he stepped forward, wrapping her in his arms, and kissed her ear. "Bella, it's time for you to wash up. Let me carry you."
Observing the grin spreading across Alexander's face, Isabella truly wanted to throw a tantrum. However, she felt somewhat embarrassed, considering she had initiated everything the previous night.
"No, thanks. I can manage on my own. You should put on some clothes!"
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Isabella, who had been halfway up, felt her legs give out beneath her, forcing her to sit back down. While her back seemed fine, it was clear her legs were still not up to the task.
The pleasing sound of laughter echoed in her ear, causing her to frown in displeasure. Before she could react, she was effortlessly swept off her feet into a firm embrace.
The man led her to the washbasin, then with a half-embrace, he helped Isabella brush her teeth and wash
her face.
Isabella felt like a little baby, yet the man looked amused.
Upon looking in the mirror once more, she was certain that the marks could only be concealed by wearing trousers and long sleeves. It was a sight unfit for others to see. In the end, Alexander helped her put on her shoes and helped her stand
1. up.
"Just hang in there for a bit. Once the birthday celebration is over, I'll take you back to rest. You can eat something after you've had a good sleep."
Isabella leaned into Alexander's embrace as they moved forward, adapting as if to newly installed legs.
"I'm afraid I'll have to attend the entire luncheon. Once it's over, I'll make time to come back and keep you company. You only need to step out again for the dinner."
"Don't I need to socialize?"
With a smile, Alexander said, "I once promised you that as my wife, you could do whatever you wish. There's no need for you to engage in social duties as my wife, nor bear any responsibilities. All I need is for you to be yourself and stay by my side."
A smile played at the corners of Isabella's lips, reflecting the confidence that came from being indulged. However, she couldn't help but wonder if Alexander's continued pampering would eventually spoil her.
"But what about the elders..." Isabella struggled to find a reason to persist.
"At least for today, Grandpa, Mom, and Dad will understand. After all, it was all my fault... Alexander said, gently nipping Isabella's ear.

Chapter 533 Teasing Glances
Isabella's legs almost gave out again. "Stop messing around. Are you still Alexander?"
"What do you mean?"
"You used to be so aloof
"Why should I be aloof to my own wife?"
Finished
Though Alexander was walking, he was clinging onto Isabella from behind. "Honey, I'm really happy. If only we didn't have to worry about others. I just want to stay with you and never leave." Isabella was scared. "No, no, no, it's better if you leave."
Alexander cast a disgruntled glance at Isabella. "So, you don't like what I did last night. Then I'IL..."
Isabella assumed he would show some restraint, only to hear him say, "Then I'll practice more and make sure you like it."
No, thank you. I plan on living a few more years!
Alexander couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Let's go and wish Grandpa a happy birthday."
A light sparked in Isabella's eyes when she heard that.
The youngest head of the Quirk family finally made his appearance. They had left the early arriving guests waiting in distress, only showing up when the younger generation was about to offer birthday wishes.
Arm in arm, they made their entrance under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers.
Alexander had always been indifferent, while Isabella's relaxed demeanor stemmed from being utterly worn out from the previous night, her entire being steeped in exhaustion.
Despite their young age, they showed no signs of stage fright.
The crowd began to whisper among themselves, discussing yesterday's proposal ceremony. It made everyone aware that, despite Isabella no longer having a reliable family background, she still held an extraordinary status and was accepted by the entire family. Alexander guided Isabella to stand in line with the younger generation, arranged by age.
Everyone was giving them teasing glances, their smiles filled with hidden implications. Even Isabella found herself lowering her head under their scrutiny.
