"Alright then, I’ll text you the address later." The other party finished speaking and ended the call.
Alice Conley shrugged, anyway, she already had a trouble by her side, so she didn’t mind having another one.
"Whose phone call was that? Are you eting soone now?" Dorian Howards asked from the side.
"Your mom called. So, do you want to co with to et her?" Alice replied.
Dorian slamd on the brakes, stopping the car, and looked at Alice in surprise, "My mom called?"
"Yes." She said, just as her phone chid with a ssage alert. She opened the ssage and showed the address to Dorian next to her, "Look, et at this address, you drive."
Dorian glanced at the address, moved his lips, but ultimately started the car again and headed towards the direction written on the address.

Gemma never expected that when Alice Conley arrived, her son would also co along, "You... you two..."
Seeing the surprised look on the woman’s face, Alice suddenly smiled sweetly, "We just ca from the Civil Affairs Bureau. When I received your ssage, Dorian and I were just discussing where to have dinner."
Gemma imdiately found Alice’s smiling face unbearably glaring, "Didn’t you already break up?"
"Yes, we broke up, but sorry, I’m currently pregnant with your son’s child." Alice felt like she was the antagonist in a TV drama, but seeing the woman in front of her reminded her of the scene three years ago, recalling the circumstances when this woman arranged a eting with her.
Why did the child from before miscarry for no reason? Was it really, as the doctor who perford the abortion surgery said, just because of her poor constitution?
And those lies about supposedly being unable to conceive in the future... She even thought it was fortunate to find out now. If she hadn’t discovered this lie and hurriedly found a suitable man to marry just to calm her parents, then found herself pregnant, wouldn’t that have been even more ironic?
Gemma’s expression changed as she rembered today’s purpose of eting Alice Conley, which was hearing about Alice’s pregnancy.
"Alice Conley, I didn’t expect a young girl like you, still inexperienced with the world, to be so scheming, talking about breaking up with Dorian while carrying his child. Is this your way of keeping him interested by playing hard to get? Is your ultimate goal to marry into the Howards Family?" Gemma said coldly, intending for her words to make her son think less of Alice.
Alice sat down opposite Gemma, continuing to smile sweetly, "Anyway, your son just proposed to at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I’m just wondering if I should call you..."
"Ah Dorian, did you really propose to her? At the Civil Affairs Bureau, did you... handle any paperwork?" Gemma’s face finally showed panic, she absolutely could not accept having such a daughter-in-law in the Howards Family!
Dorian could clearly see that Alice was intentionally provoking his mother, but he didn’t find it annoying. He also disliked his mother interfering in his marriage affairs; he just wanted to marry soone he loved, not just connect with a woman for the family interests.
