His finger pressed against her lips. "If my entire life cannot be separated from you, then I hope that your whole life cannot be separated from me. What do I have to do for you to truly be inseparable from me?"
His voice seemed to carry a kind of magic power.
She murmured, "Fall in love with me." At this moment, her hand was still in his palm, and she hoped that in the future, she could hold hands with him and grow old together.
"Okay." He lifted her hand and kissed her palm. If it were her, then he certainly wouldn’t follow in his father’s footsteps. Even if he fell in love with her, the ending would not be a tragic one.
Because of her existence, he finally wanted to truly love someone, to experience the so-called happiness of being in love, to make her... be unable to leave him for their entire lives!
Mabel Quinn arrived at the party only to find out that Alice Conley was also there, and beside Alice was Dorian Howards. Alice looked at Mabel Quinn’s outfit and exclaimed how beautiful her friend looked, almost as if she wanted to be a lily flower, causing Dorian Howards’ eyebrows to furrow again and again.
Especially when he saw Alice touching Mabel Quinn’s arm and commenting on how smooth and tender it was, the dark lines on his forehead became even more pronounced.
Back in the day, wasn’t it this rascal who grabbed his arm, saying things like how strong and beautiful it was? And the result? Three years later, this rascal acts like she can’t get away fast enough even if she accidentally brushes against his arm!
Even Dorian Howards himself didn’t realize that at this moment, he was actually feeling jealous of Mabel Quinn.
Of course, seeing Alice Conley’s behavior also made Kyle Kinston standing by the side frown, but before he could act, Dorian Howards had already stepped in, directly dragging this rascal away.
"Hey, what are you doing? I haven’t even said two words to Mabel!" Alice Conley protested, but her protest was to no avail.
Dorian Howards dragged Alice Conley out onto a small balcony outside the banquet hall, his face dark, "Do you know the demeanor you just had?"
Alice Conley pondered for a moment, "The demeanor of unexpectedly reuniting with a friend and chatting enthusiastically?"
Dorian Howards was speechless, he paused before saying, "The way you were just now, someone who knows would understand you’re friends. Someone who doesn’t might think you’re harassing the other person."
Alice Conley was defiant, "What harassment? We’re both women. If I were to harass someone, it should be Kyle Kinston!"
Dorian Howards’ eyebrows furrowed again, letting out a cold snort, "If you really tried to harass Kyle, you’d probably be sent to the hospital by now."
Alice Conley awkwardly rubbed her nose. She was just saying it casually and didn’t actually have any feelings for Kyle Kinston.
Besides, if she really did, why would she look afar, when someone was right in front of her... Wait, stop! The last person she should have feelings for is Dorian Howards! Alice Conley silently told herself.
"What are you thinking about?" Dorian Howards asked.
"I’m thinking that since I agreed to accompany you to this party, you should also fulfill your promise to me. Don’t follow me anymore," she said. Especially since this wasn’t the first time during an interview when the company didn’t originally consider her, but after seeing her accompanied by the commander of the Howards Family, they immediately decided to hire her, making Alice Conley feel like she had been hit by another blow.
