Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind

Chapter 194 Struggling To Understand Mother Tongue

Isabella's grand and ambitious plan was abruptly interrupted by that sudden hug.

Before she could react, Alexander spoke in a deep voice. "Sorry, this is my fault."

Although Alexander's action of pulling Isabella into his arms puzzled everyone, his apology was event more astonishing.

Lily spoke. "Alexander, you don't neeil to apologize for her. She should be responsible for her own actions

Two years ago, Alexander apologized on behalf of Isabella, who made a fuss. Thus, everyone naturally assumed that Alexander was apologizing for Isabella again.

Before Lily could finish her sentence, Alexander lowered his head toward Isabella, who was staring at him with wide eyes in his arms, and said, "I'm sorry I caused you to be misunderstood."

Huh? Is he saying that to me? I hy does it feel like I don't understand my mother tongue anymore? thought Isabella, which amused Alexander.

He turned to the crowd and said. "That email was sent under the guise of my wife's name."

Everyone was utterly baffled.

Eleanor was the first to lose her composure. "Alexander, even if it's to protect her, you can't-"

Alexander felt extremely awkward, but he still seized the opportunity to explain. "The day you sent me an email asking to meet, my wife was the first to see it and quickly informed me about it. However, I felt it wasn't appropriate for me to respond to that email, as any response would imply contact with an ex. I believe that once a relationship has ended, to respect the current one, there should be no private contact with an ex. Thus, I asked my wife to help me reply to you, but..."

Alexander glanced down at Isabella in his arms again, raising his eyebrow in resignation. "Since my wife didn't want to help me, 1 had no choice but to do it myself."

Isabella was stunned.

Everyone else was also dumbfounded, but those who knew Alexander understood that he wasn't one to resort to lying.

Still, everyone had difficulty believing Alexander doing that because it was too childish, too lacking in class, and too out of character for him.

It was as if their image of Alexander had come crashing down. His fans, especially, were caught completely off guard.

Once again, those stares made Alexander feel embarrassed. It wasn't an exaggeration to say he was sweating profusely, and, for once, he actually wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. However, he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.

He instinctively tightened his hold on Isabella.
