And Dorian Howards stood there dumbfounded, yes, what exactly does he want?
Why was it so easy to say those words before, but now...so difficult?
In the evening, Alice Conley was at ho when soone knocked on her door. She opened it to find a stranger, carrying large bags, and those shopping bags were exactly the mother and baby products Dorian Howards had bought in the mall earlier.
"Are you Miss Conley? Mr. Howards asked to bring these over. He also said, if Miss Conley doesn’t like them, feel free to donate them to the poor mountain areas." The person said, and before Alice Conley could react, had placed all the large bags in the Conley family’s mysterious portal and then turned and left.
Alice Conley couldn’t stop them even though she wanted to, she could only helplessly look at this pile of things. This is just too... she was puzzled, not quite understanding what Dorian Howards was thinking.
The one who said he didn’t want to get married was him, yet the one who appears in front of her repeatedly now is also him. And buying so many things for her... After thinking for a long ti, Alice Conley could only attribute it to Dorian Howards’ fondness for the child in her belly.
After all, he seed to have always liked children—of course, that’s what he said when they were dating. As to whether he likes only his own children and has no feelings for others’, that remains to be discussed.
When Mr. and Mrs. Conley returned ho and saw the pile of things in the living room, they were quite shocked, "Alice, why did you buy so many things?"
"I didn’t buy them, Dorian Howards did," Alice Conley said rather helplessly.
"Him? What’s he buying this stuff for, we don’t need these things!" Mr. Conley said irritably. He still hadn’t let go of his anger towards Dorian Howards, thinking about his beloved daughter having to beco an unwed mother, he felt a wave of guilt. Why didn’t he kick Dorian Howards out back then?
"Alice, you should quickly return these things to Dorian Howards," Mrs. Conley said.
Alice Conley replied, "When he had them delivered, he said if we didn’t accept them, they should be donated directly to the poor mountain areas."
"Then donate! Donate all of these!" Mr. Conley said in exasperation.
Mrs. Conley quickly said, "You really think money is abundant? Alice, let Mom go with you to return these things."
"Enough, Mom and Dad!" Alice Conley said, "Let’s just keep these things. After all, the child in my belly is his responsibility too. He will return to Falling City soon, and probably won’t send things like this anymore."
Just thinking about how Dorian Howards would return to Falling City, and perhaps she wouldn’t see him much anymore, Alice Conley’s eyes couldn’t help but dim a little.
Mr. Conley was taken aback, "Falling City? That Dorian Howards...is his hotown Falling City?"
"Yes, he’s from Falling City," Alice Conley replied, "He’s just here temporarily in J City to handle so matters, and once that’s done, naturally he’ll go back."
Mr. Conley’s expression seed a bit unnatural, he didn’t expect that Dorian Howards would be from Falling City. Sotis you think the world is big, yet sotis, it’s so small.
"Why do you look so unwell, is your body feeling uncomfortable?" Mrs. Conley asked her husband.
