Alice Conley’s expression instantly shifted from playful to icy cold.
Dorian Howards naturally and sensitively noticed the anomaly, "What do you an, ’it’s already’?" he said.
"Nothing!" Alice quickly replied, but her gaze remained fixed on Gemma, "Is the qualification between people really determined by money and status? If that’s the kind of qualification, then I don’t want it."
After saying this, she finally turned her head to look at Dorian, "If I marry you without any additional value, just as I am, would you still want to marry ?"
"Yes!" he answered with a decisive certainty.
Alice smiled, but Gemma’s face grew increasingly grim.
Alice turned again to look at Gemma, "You see, if I want your son, then nothing can tear us apart." But in her heart, she silently added: If she doesn’t want him, then her son will beco free again, and one day, he will et soone else, fall in love, get married, have children, and live a happy life.
"Mom, I truly love Alice. It took three years to co to this realization, so this ti, I won’t let myself miss out on Alice again," Dorian said.
After Dorian and Alice left the villa, Gemma staggered and collapsed onto the sofa. What should she do? Can she really not break them apart? Does she really have to accept such a daughter-in-law?
Back then, she did whatever it took to break them up, so how could she, now, watch helplessly as this happens?
Her son deserves a better woman; Alice Conley is simply not worthy!

Alice got back into Dorian’s car. Compared to Alice’s current calmness, Dorian was in high spirits. He hadn’t expected this girl to pull such a stunt in front of his mother, but it made him very happy, feeling that she and he had suddenly beco much closer.
"If I’m really willing to marry you, would you be willing to marry ?" he asked.
"I only said that to annoy your mom," Alice replied, "Why would I want to marry you? If I did, wouldn’t I then have to put up with your mom’s attitude every day?"
"No, I won’t let you be subject to my mom’s attitude," he said, "Even if there are serious conflicts between you and my mom, I’ll make sure to sort them out, I promise."
Alice sighed and suddenly said, "Dorian, do you really love ?"
"What? You’re still doubtful?" He glanced at her from the corner of his eye, "If I didn’t love you, would I bother staying in J City just for you? If I didn’t love you, why would I keep coming over to your house, even at the start of the year, just to see you? Alice Conley, listen to carefully, I’ve never loved anyone in this way in my entire life. You are the first, and you will be the last!"
Alice smiled, silently telling herself two words—"It’s worth it." Yes, in this lifeti, being loved by such a man with such depth of feeling is enough.
"So how about we find a tavern now and get a room directly?" Alice said outright.
The mont she said this, the sound of sudden braking filled the air as he abruptly stopped the car on the roadside. He turned and stared at her, "What did you say?" He seriously doubted if he had heard wrong.
