My Wives Are Too Overpowered

Chapter 102 The Guests Show Up

7 pm, the party hall.

In the expensive five-star hotel's party hall, the stage was set, the guests were coming in one by one, and the waiters served the appetizers and refreshments to the ones present already.

Alex was seated at one of the tables in the very front with Melissa and his parents.

His table was filled with gifts, bouquets, and congratulatory letters from the guests. There were just so many gifts that the hotel's staff had to come and clear the tables.

Josh and Janet had called quite the amount of people to this place.

Even Alex had no idea that his parents had so many friends. There were around a hundred people at this party.

The entire neighborhood was invited and these guys, after hearing about the venue, cleared up whatever they were doing and immediately made their way here, donning the most expensive clothes from their closets.

After his neighbors, there was Frank who came in with his wife and two grown up children.

Frank and his family walked up to their tables full of smiles. They were really thankful to Alex for helping out with the pizzeria.

Their faces had this unique glow that belonged to someone stress-free and successful. Money surely changed people's complexion.

Frank hugged Alex happily and even went ahead to hug Josh, expressing his deep gratitude to all of them. His family too expressed their thanks and handed their gifts to Alex.

They then handed some more gifts, this time congratulating him for becoming a successful neurosurgeon and then went about their ways after some small talk.

Next, Samuel arrived with his family. His father, mother, two older sisters, and one younger brother was with him.

Alex knew them well and they too recognized him.

Samuel walked towards Alex's table with a wide grin on his face, seemingly happy for some reason.

Alex's and Samuel's family exchanged some flowery words when they met each other and in the meantime, Alex looked at Samuel's younger brother and asked with a smile,

"Remember me, champ?"

Samuel's little brother, Henry, who was around ten years old when Alex saw him, now seemed like a high schooler.

He had grown up to be a healthy young man, thought Alex, until he had a look at his slightly dark lips.

Henry smiled and said, "how can I forget brother Alex?"

He was a well-mannered boy even now.

"It's a surprise that Henry still remembers you, haha." Samuel laughed. "He usually forgets everybody."

It couldn't be helped. Henry had a pretty good opinion of Alex ever since young.

Alex minded his own business and wasn't loud like his brother Sam. He also seemed to be somewhat of a genius and now that he became a neurosurgeon at such a young age, Henry was even more sure that Alex indeed was a genius.

Unlike his brother who was in finance, Henry was interested in science and knew how difficult it was to be a doctor in this day and age. The syllabus was far too vast and things were just too hectic.

Unknowingly, even without meeting Alex for so many years, he held some respect for him for achieving such a feat.

Alex smiled and replied, "makes me happy knowing this, haha. I remember the last time I saw Henry, he was a prepubescent boy."

Henry's face flushed slightly hearing that. He remembered how stupid he was at that age.

Changing the topic, Henry said, "Big brother, my talks aside. I heard you and Sam are business partners now. What are you guys doing?"

Samuel slapped the back of Henry's head playfully. "Call me big brother too, lil taco."

Henry blared at Samuel hearing that. "Stop calling me that. It's super cringey."

Samuel laughed and wrapped his arms around Henry's shoulder, not replying to it anymore.

Henry shook his head in disappointment and then turned to Alex. His big brother was a gone case and Henry knew it would be a waste to talk to him.

Alex was about to answer him, when he saw a few men in suits, looking like bodyguards, walk inside the hall.

Knowing who was coming, Alex said, "Sam, Henry, sorry, there's guests that I need to greet. I'll talk to you guys in a bit, alright?"

Samuel laughed it off and patted Alex's back. "It's your big day, buddy. We understand."

Alex nodded and then took his leave.

At the entrance of the hall, the person he had been waiting for arrived.

It was a beautiful blonde-haired lady, wearing a slightly revealing bold red dress. Her arms and collar bones were exposed and there was a small cut at the lower half of her dress, showing some skin above the knee.

'She for sure knows how to dress,' thought Alex as he neared her.

"Am I late?" Nicole asked with a smile.

"Nope, you're on time." Alex replied with a smile as well.

He then looked at the guards around her and said, "I thought you're coming alone."

Nicole sighed at this. She walked close to Alex and said, "I wanted to, but couldn't due to circumstances. Anyway, they'll not bother us or react…"

Nicole's lips then curved up and she continued, "…even if you give me a hug."

Alex shook his head with a smile. It seems Nicole wasn't planning on giving up anytime soon.

He took a step ahead and gave her a reserved hug. Nothing too touchy.

Nicole chuckled at this and didn't call him out. She was fine with this too.

"You look handsome, by the way." Nicole said as she looked at him.

Alex was wearing gray pants, black shirt, belts, shoes, and had a silver watch on his hand. One button of his tucked shirt was open and he seemed like a really handsome young man.

The things on him were simple, but it brought out the best in him. His toned muscles were outlined on his shirt and pants, making not just Nicole, but most of the ladies stare at him.

If it weren't for the women being with their families and if this was a nightclub, none of the ladies would have hesitated to approach Alex.

Sure he was a genius guy, neurosurgeon, and whatnot. But it didn't change the fact that he was too hot to not think of taking a bite.

It may appear weird since it was a rare occurrence, but the reverse situation was quite common.

Men thirsting for a hot lady was known by everybody since men never concealed their motives. Plus, the number of hot women were far more than the number of hot men in the world.

Women maintained themselves well while men… well… just like Alex, many slapped some water on their face and they were done washing themselves up.

Hearing the compliment, Alex could easily guess that Nicole had no plans to back down anytime soon. He'll need to chat with her about this later though.

"That dress suits you well." Alex gave a slightly reserved response.

Nicole liked it nonetheless and smiled. "Are you not—"

"Alexxxxx!"

Nicole was interrupted by a melodic voice.

She was dumbfounded with the tone and turned to look back, only to see a sexy mature woman wearing an exquisite black dress waving in her direction.

The moment she had a look at her, Nicole's eyes widened in surprise.

But she concealed her emotions pretty quick. Being a high ranking officer, such things were trivial.

Right beside this mature lady, there was a girl in a blue dress. She had a cold expression on her face and seemed like she was forcefully brought into this party against her wishes.

Alex looked at the two new guests coming in and smiled. Waving back at them, he said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

As if Nicole didn't exist, Lucielle appeared beside her and said with a soft giggle, "how is that possible? You're this lady's crush afterall."

"Mom!" Marcelle's icy look disappeared and what followed was a flushed face.

Why was her mother like this!? She couldn't understand. All Marcelle had done was accidentally state that Alex was handsome and now she was trying her best to hook her up with him.

Poor Marcelle didn't know that her mother was just using her as a cover to blatantly flirt with Alex. It was wrong on Lucielle's part to do something like this, but as a mother, she had to.

Marcelle would never find a husband if Lucielle didn't push her. This girl was just too reserved to even talk to men.

By trying to act as a matchmaker, Lucielle hoped to slowly open the shackles around her daughter's heart and have her find a potential partner. Alex was good enough to do it.

If Marcelle ended up liking Alex due to her pushing her like this, Lucielle was more than happy to back away. But if she didn't make her moves and in the end, Lucielle really fell in love, she would be the one to not back away.

Lucielle was a competitive lady. Either grab the opportunity given on time, or she'll devour it herself. It mattered not if her own daughter was involved in this.

Being a mother though, she would end up sharing Alex with her daughter, but she won't back away if she were to fall in love with him.

Lucielle hadn't fallen in love yet so Marcelle still had the opportunity to take Alex away. But, it would all depend on how fast she makes her move.

As mentioned, Lucielle wasn't the typical emotional lady who would make sacrifices. It didn't matter even if it was her daughter, she won't back down after a certain point.

She really loved Marcelle, more than anyone else in the world, but this girl had to understand, the world won't move with her pace. She had to adjust herself and fight for things, otherwise everything would be taken from her.

Lucielle was doing her motherly duties by trying her level best to hook Marcelle up with Alex, but if she didn't respond, then there was nothing she could do further.

It was Marcelle's loss.

In any case, Lucielle was a happy and carefree woman. Flirting so openly was her nature.

As Nicole heard Lucielle's words, she suddenly felt something was fishy and looked at her with slightly furrowed brows.

She couldn't help but think, 'this woman… why's she here? And what's with her comment?'
