Overall, Mr. Dorian Howards still sees the other person as a rival in love.
Alice Conley only just realized, belatedly, that he was actually jealous, and quickly said, "Don’t worry, he absolutely wouldn’t want to marry . He has soone else he likes, it’s just that his family doesn’t approve, so he’s temporarily using as a decoy. We’re really just friends."
"Maybe he is interested in you and is just bluffing to make you let your guard down. Have you t this supposed person he likes? Do you know which of his words are true and which are false?" Dorian Howards said, not in the best of moods.
Alice Conley was sweating bullets, ugh... she really had t her, not just her, but Dorian had t her as well. However, it involved so private matters of Daxton and Jacob Fletcher, so Alice Conley was too embarrassed to say it outright and could only argue, "I’m not that easy to fool!"
"n love to fool young girls who are inexperienced in the ways of the world like you." Dorian Howards decided it was ti to give his future little wife a lesson, to let her understand a bit better.
A young girl, is she really? She’s almost a mother! To avoid Dorian Howards launching into a long preachy lecture, Alice Conley simply wrapped her arms around Dorian Howards’ neck, and said to him, "Why don’t you co with next ti when I have dinner with Daxton, then you’ll know if I’m being fooled!"
"Of course, I’ll go with you." He gave her a glare, surely this girl wasn’t planning to have dinner with another man alone?
"Alright then, I’ll reply to his ssage." Alice Conley said.
Only then did Dorian Howards reluctantly let go of her, and Alice Conley managed to reply to Daxton. However, when she typed "I’ll bring my boyfriend over then," Dorian Howards pointed out from beside her, "Not boyfriend, husband."
"But we’re not married yet." She said.
"Soon, I’ve already asked soone to start preparing for the wedding." Dorian Howards said.
So, after a bit of bargaining between the two, they finally settled on the term "fiancé." When Alice Conley finished replying to the ssage, she asked Dorian Howards, "By the way, have you ntioned our wedding plans to your family?"
"I’ll go back to Falling City in a few days and officially bring it up with them." Dorian Howards said, his expression involuntarily heavy. He knew well that his family was bound to oppose it, especially his mother, who would probably be the most vehently against it. At that ti... he feared his family would embarrass the Conley Family, and he didn’t want Alice or the Conley Family to suffer any grievance.
"Should I go with you?" Alice Conley asked.
"No need," Dorian Howards replied, "You’re pregnant now, it’s not suitable for you to travel by plane. I’ll go and talk to them myself." The plane was just one of the reasons, more importantly, he feared that his family might say so unpleasant things to her.
He couldn’t bear for her to suffer the slightest grievance.
Even though Dorian Howards didn’t say it, Alice Conley could more or less guess his concerns, so she smiled and said, "Alright then, I’ll take good care of myself and the baby here in J City."
"Alice..." Dorian Howards took a deep breath, "If... if in the end, I can’t give you a grand wedding, will you bla ?" He was just afraid that, in the end, his family wouldn’t accept Alice.
