Both of them suddenly felt embarrassed. Marley and Chitlin immediately sensed something was going on and started questioning them further, even asking if they could bring their respective partners to Lionel’s birthday party.

The twins responded at the same time, echoing each other in perfect harmony.

“My brother’s girlfriend is someone he met online. They haven’t even met in person yet!” said Eula.

“My sister’s boyfriend is a gamer. She won him over by spending on him!” said Jake.

Then, they immediately started arguing with each other.

“We’ve talked on video calls! We just haven’t met in person yet,” Jake refuted.

“We were just fulfilling our e–sports dream together! I even made money from investing in the team!” Eula spat.

The two of them would start bickering at the drop of a hat, their playful banter often amusing those around them.

Eric could see the unspoken but lovely bond between the twins. Then, he thought about his own children. Despite their significant age difference, Dylan was always so intolerant of Janice. Indeed, there was an issue.

Isabella beamed at what she had heard, unable to resist making a mental commentary.

Isabella: They’re both online dating and haven’t met their partners face–to–face. Aren’t they worried about being catfished? Still, he’s decided to meet his girlfriend for the first time before taking her to Grandpa’s 90th birthday party. All I can do is wish him the best and hope his online romance doesn’t crash and burn.

Isabella: As for the girl, she’s fallen head over heels for an e–sports player, completely smitten by his looks and skills. She pours tons of money into their relationship. This is pretty much a love story between a wealthy heiress and an e–sports player. It seems she’s also thinking of introducing him to everyone during the birthday party.

Thanks to Felix’s family, the jovial atmosphere persisted through dinner. Everyone enjoyed the meal together, followed by some light conversation, before calling it a night.

Naturally, both Alexander’s and Felix’s households were to stay at the Quirk estate.

Caitlin and Adam also resided here. It seemed that Carlos was rather apprehensive about going back to his own home, so he decided to stay too. However, Sarah’s family was intent on returning to their own residence, and so was Eric’s.

Unexpectedly, there were two individuals who didn’t leave.

4×4 One of them was Nina. She had already become good friends with Callahan, and they were also related, so she naturally wanted to stay a little longer. With that, Sarah had no choice but to leave her daughter in the care of the Quirk manor. Consequently, the two youngsters continued to play around the building.

The other person was Janice, whom Rosalie had fervently persuaded to stay and live with her, saying she was afraid of living alone.

law. Besides, she was also worried that Janice would be treated poorly if she were to go home, so she tried her best to make her stay.

Before Eric could say anything, Dylan was the first to object. The moment Alexander’s family saw his expression, they knew he was up to no good and was probably planning to take his frustrations out on Janice when they got home. They couldn’t possibly let Janice go under such circumstances!

Fortunately, Eric remained silent, and Janice successfully stayed behind.

In truth, from the very beginning, the young woman had mentally prepared herself. She seemed to have anticipated that things wouldn’t go as her mother and brother had hoped. She was also aware of the treatment she might receive, but what she hadn’t expected was to be intercepted right from the start, leaving her utterly bewildered for a moment.

Once her father and brother had truly left, she turned around to find the younger generation eagerly waiting for her in the living room, ready to share drinks and conversation. Although she didn’t talk much, no one pressured her to do so. It was a natural and harmonious coexistence, a comfort and ease she hadn’t felt in many years.

That night, everyone was in high spirits, engaging in lively gossip and thoroughly enjoying their drinks. In the end, it was Alexander who ended up carrying a tipsy Isabella back to their room to rest.

Suddenly, Isabella struggled a little in his arms, seemingly trying to wake up.

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Alexander asked, intending to help her lie down.

The woman furrowed her brows, asking, “Where… Where are we sleeping?”

Alexander paused for a moment. “The newly constructed building.”

Isabella’s eyes remained closed for quite some time before she finally relaxed her brows. “Is this also your first time staying here?”

The man stilled briefly before his gaze turned soft. “Yes, it’s my first time staying here.”

They were not residing in the main building of the old mansion, but in a modern villa recently constructed within the estate a few years back.

In reality, Lionel and Marley were the only permanent residents, and there was no need for additional buildings. However, they were adamant about expanding the estate solely to ensure that Alexander, should he ever visit, would be spared any discomfort. Naturally, they wouldn’t have him stay in the room he had occupied as a child.
