Reading Juncy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 205 Is He Waiting For Dakota
The elders from both sides took turns introducing their younger family members to each other.
Caleb, the eldest son of the Hampton family and the partyâs host, naturally assumed the primary role of entertaining the guests He spoke with refined elegance and carried himself with grace. Although he wasnât as handsome as Josiah. his demeanor was nonetheless extraordinary. Among the younger generation, his abilities might not have been as exceptional as Alexanderâs, but he was undoubtedly among the best No wonder the Hampton family decided to make him the heir without any qualmi Audrey that lunatic already has such a good man, yet still not content with what she already has.
Talk about being overly greedy.
Some members of the Quirk family were meeting Caleb for the first time, but they had a perfect first impression of him. Therefore, upon hearing Isabellaâs inner thoughts, they couldnât help but agree wholeheartedly.
Caleb was clearly quite exceptional in many ways, yet Audrey was ungrateful for what she had.
Reflecting on the troubles Audrey caused for Josiah, their gazes toward Caleb softened with even more sympathy As Caleb exchanged pleasantries, he inexplicably felt a chill down his spine, causing him to shudder involuntarily.
âThe ballroom for the wine tasting party is all set up. Please forgive us for any shortcomings in our preparations, as there are still a few things left to finish. How about we have Josiah accompany everyone to the ballroom first?â
Given that Alexander and Josiah were close friends, it was only natural for Caleb to want Josiah to treat his friend well.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw Josiah looking absentâminded. Rumor had it that heâd fought with his girlfriend. Although he wasnât sure what Josiah was up to, he knew that he couldnât let Josiahâs emotions affect his hospitality, especially not on a day like this.
Caleb patted Josiahâs back, chuckling as he reminded, âJosiah, donât just stand there, quickly attend to your buddyâ
Josiah had dark circles under his eyes, and his spirits were quite low. He truly looked like someone tormented by love.
Regaining his composure, Josiah could only muster his energy, stepping forward to lead the Quirk family members into the ballroom.
Noah and Lorelei naturally kept David and Selena company while Caleb continued with the preparation work âHubby, I havenât finished my makeup yet, so Iâm going to the makeup room,â Audrey whispered to Caleb. as she stayed close to his side.
Caleb nodded.
Chapter 205 Is He Waiting For Dakota
Seeing Audrey not walking with them and appearing as though she was only halfway through her styling. Isabella immediately realized something.
Good heavens, I almost miss out on the exciting plot!
The members of the Quirk family, who were walking into the ballroom together, immediately perked up. their cars to listen in to Isabellaâs thoughts.
Dakota was already here, but Josiah had been sulking inside since earlier, so he wasnât aware that Dakota had arrived. Il hat good timing! Since Dakota is already here, weâre stuck at the opening credits it seems, The Quirks were stunned.
At that moment, they entered the ballroom and felt as if they had stepped into a fairyland. The sight of various wine bottles, glasses, and related utensils arrayed in diverse arrangements under the crystal chandelier was absolutely stunning.
At every display table, a server was specifically assigned to pour wine for tasting.
In one corner, various musical instruments were arranged, evidently awaiting the arrival of a band invited to perform and enhance the ambiance.
The Quirks couldnât help but reveal their surprise, which the Hamptons mistook as their astonishment at the grandeur of the venue.
Noah and Lorelei felt proud.
Lorelei chuckled. âAll of this was orchestrated and arranged by Caleb and Audrey.â
Although the Quirk family wasnât stunned by the decor, they had to give their compliments after Loreleiâs comment. After all, the arrangement had been quite impressive.
âTonightâs wine tasting party is the first one weâve hosted,â Noah said with a smile. âIâm not sure if there will be any shortcomings, but I do hope it will be to our guestsâ liking.â
âThis arrangement is good,â David objectively remarked.
âAs long as I can leave an impression on everyone, thatâs all that matters, haha,â Noah immediately expressed with joy.
Oh, poor Mr. Noah. Itâs a project that the Hampton family plans to focus on, but then their eldest daughterâinâlaw is using it to single out their youngest sonâs girlfriend. Tsk, isk, isk. If things go wrong, it might just leave a lasting impression on their guests tonight.
Upon hearing Isabellaâs sarcastic thought, everyone turned their gaze to Noah and Lorelei, who were beaming with joy. They silently sympathized with them. After all, a husband would hope for a virtuous wife, but Noah and Lorelei could only endure with a daughterâinâlaw like that.
Noah and Lorelei were confused as to why the Hampton family members were looking at them with such an odd expression and wondered if some arrangements were amiss.
After arranging the seating, Josiah sat next to Alexander instead of showing the expected enthusiasm of seeing a good friend, he kept looking at his phone distractedly.
Is he waiting for Dakota to reach out to him?
???
Chapter 205 is He Waiting For Dakota Everyone sneakily glanced at Josiah upon hearing Isabellaâs thought.
Indeed, Josiahâs expression was dark. He had been giving Dakota the silent treatment for three days. Yet, Dakota hadnât reached out to him at all, and he wondered what that implied.
Is she feeling guilty so she doesnât dare to call me? Or is she playing hard to get? If sheâs even the slightest bit sincere, shouldnât she reach out to me and offer an explanation and apologies?
The more Josiah thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so upset that he didnât even want to stay for the wine tasting party and nearly tempted to seek Dakota out to demand an explanation.
Yet his pride and dignity prevented him from doing so.
Seeing Isabella, looking rather eager for gossip, Alexander pondered for a moment before deciding to take the initiative to find some gossip to entertain his wife.
Turning to Josiah, he asked, âWhatâs wrong? You seem off today.â
Josiah felt rather stifled and was about to voice his complaints when he spotted Isabella, practically leaning her entire body on Alexanderâs shoulder. Even though she wasnât looking in their direction, she seemed to be eavesdropping, her gossipâready posture effectively killed his desire to vent.
Moreover, with all the elders around, he naturally felt hesitant to speak up. âItâs nothing.â
I waited so long for this? As expected, he canât speak up.
Alexander shot a resigned glance at Isabella upon hearing her thought. However, feeling the weight on his shoulders and the fragrant scent wafting from her side, Alexander couldnât help but curve his lips into a smile. He dared not move an inch, hoping she would lean on him longer.
However, Isabella suddenly sat up straight.
Itâs starting! Itâs starting! Audrey is chatting with Dakota about boyfriends. Is this the beginning of some sort of scheme? Oh, I want to go to the makeup room to see it happening live! What should I do? Should I find an excuse to go to the second floor? What excuse is suitable.
The Quirk family also began to feel anticipation bubbling within them but being able to witness and listen to gossip right then and there was already good enough, finding a plausible excuse to delve into the nitty gritty details would be quite the challenge.
Quietly, Alexander glanced at his shoulder, pursed his lips, and gazed at Isabella. Something flickered across his eyes a few times before he raised his hand.
Isabella was in the midst of devising a plan when she suddenly felt a brush against her lips.
It wasnât the first time Alexander did that. Isabella had an inexplicable deepâseated memory of the particular sensation, so she immediately caught on and looked at Alexander in surprise.
What on earth is he doing?
Perhaps Alexander had already confessed his feelings, so Isabella had become particularly sensitive to certain actions of his.
âYour lipstick is smudged,â said Alexander. He then turned to Josiah and asked, âIs there a place nearby where my wife can touch up her makeup?â
