"Alice... I..." He wanted to apologize; he knew he shouldn’t have said that.
Alice Conley had already spoken first, "Dorian Howards, that person, he knows I’m pregnant. Does this answer satisfy you? Yes, I’m pregnant, but I think you should be the least qualified to say anything to because of it. I thought even if we didn’t end up together, at least we wouldn’t be enemies, wouldn’t exchange harsh words, but it seems I was naive."
Her face was so pale, yet her expression and the tone of her words were so calm, a calmness that made him a bit uneasy.
"Alice, I said the wrong thing, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that, I just... just..." He couldn’t continue, he simply didn’t like her smiling at another man like that, didn’t like her holding another man’s hand like that, and couldn’t accept the possibility that she might fall in love with another man in the future.
"Just feeling uncomfortable because I was begging you to marry before, and now suddenly you’re with another man?" She said.
He looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to say sothing like that.
She continued, "Dorian Howards, I know you probably don’t believe my words now, but I think if one day you are with another woman, I would definitely feel uncomfortable too, but this discomfort would fade over ti, right? No matter what, I will wish you happiness, and I will also find my own happiness."
His heart inexplicably felt like it had been pricked by sothing. What was her happiness? Was it being with the man from earlier?
After a pause, Alice Conley finally said, "If you have sothing to discuss with , let’s resolve it properly, without any argunts. I don’t want to argue with you, don’t want our future mories to be filled with argunts. Of course, if there’s nothing important, then please don’t co looking for , and I won’t look for you either. Not seeing each other may be best for both of us now." After saying this, as if rembering sothing, she added, "By the way, I went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup today, and the child’s situation is quite stable at the mont, you can rest assured. If you want to know about the child’s condition in the future, you can call , and we can talk on the phone."
In other words, there’s no need for face-to-face etings.
After speaking, she turned and walked into the apartnt complex, leaving him standing alone at the entrance.
Dorian Howards stared fixedly at that receding figure until he could no longer see her in his field of vision.
Between her and him, the only thing left might be the child.
What was this feeling surging from his chest? Clearly unable to let her go, yet unable to tolerate her marrying him just for the child’s sake—perhaps this was his last bit of pride.

Since the two reconciled, most of the ti, they would have dinner at Mabel Quinn’s apartnt. Sotis, when Mabel was too busy or wanted to try sothing new, they would eat out at a restaurant.
This was actually similar to before the reconciliation, as Kyle Kinston often had als at her place before.
The biggest difference was that Kyle Kinston started staying overnight.
