Alice Conley just felt that the top of her head, touched by Dorian Howards moments ago, had become warm, and along with that, her face seemed to start blushing.
Was the car’s air conditioning set too high? Or was it because of something else...
"By the way, the thing about Mabel Quinn, is it serious? If Grace Yowell really wants to sue Mabel, what are her chances of winning the case?" Alice Conley changed the topic.
Dorian Howards replied, "If Kyle Kinston wants to protect someone, and they could be sued so easily with this kind of trick, then you’re underestimating Kyle."
Alice Conley thought about it and agreed. Kyle Kinston was quite a figure, and now Mabel Quinn was Kyle’s girlfriend.
"Also, if you encounter Grace Yowell in the future, avoid rushing up to her for no reason to avoid getting into trouble." After all, he couldn’t protect her all the time, and Daniel Harris, who had Grace behind him, wasn’t someone to take lightly. Orıginal content can be found at novel•fire.net
"But Grace Yowell is really disgusting, and that Daniel Harris—he’s truly blind. Mabel almost died with him on a deserted mountain to save him back then. And now, he dares to insist Mabel apologize to Grace Yowell? What a joke of an apology!" Alice Conley said indignantly. If Grace Yowell were in front of her at this moment, she might really rush up to fight her.
"What happened?" Dorian Howards asked, puzzled.
So Alice Conley briefly explained to Dorian Howards the entanglements she knew about between Daniel Harris, Grace Yowell, and Mabel Quinn.
"What do you think, isn’t Daniel Harris blind?" Alice Conley said angrily, "If one day he realizes Mabel was the one who stayed by his side, he’ll definitely regret treating Mabel today!"
"Yes, if he realizes the truth, he will definitely regret it." Dorian Howards murmured, glancing at Alice Conley, unaware to this day of the real reason why they broke up years ago.
Even though he didn’t know the truth, he now regretted it—regretting that impulsive moment when she said they should break up, he actually agreed. He let go so easily and only realized three years later that no one could replace her, and that those short three months of dating made him give his lifetime of emotions.
When the car stopped in front of Alice Conley’s apartment complex, Dorian Howards unclasped his seatbelt, turned towards Alice Conley, and asked, "Alice, you care so much about your friends. If one day something happens to me, will you be as worried and afraid as you are for Mabel Quinn today?"
"Why... why did you suddenly say this? Besides, if something happens to you, wouldn’t the Howards Family have professionals to take care of it? Why would I need to worry?" Alice Conley said a bit awkwardly while speaking, she unclasped the seatbelt, intending to open the car door and get out.
But just as her hand was reaching for the car door, his hands pressed sharply on her shoulders, pinning her firmly on the seat. "What if I need you to worry? Would you then care for me?"
His face was close to hers, his breath making her slightly disoriented, "Dorian Howards, let go. I want to go home!" she said, "I don’t want to worry about you, is that okay? I told you three years ago, from now on, you are you, and I am me!"
