From Daxton’s eyes, he could feel that this was not a casual remark from the other party, but a serious one.
If he ever harbored feelings for Alice, this man would make him pay an absolutely unbearable price!
Therefore, this man truly loves Alice. Thinking of this, Daxton was genuinely happy for Alice. "Mr. Howards, I think there might be so misunderstanding between Alice and ."
"If it’s a misunderstanding, then so much the better," Dorian said. Then he checked the ti; Alice had been in the restroom for 10 minutes and still hadn’t returned, as if it was taking a little too long.
Dorian stood up and said, "I’ll go look for Alice first." With that, he headed towards the restroom.
Only then did Daxton take a deep breath—Alice found a man who’s truly remarkable. That brief exchange earlier felt deeply exhausting.
When Dorian reached the restroom door, he asked a female staff mber to check if Alice was inside, only to be told that there were only two females inside, neither of whom was Alice Conley.
Dorian was startled; Alice had already left the restroom? Where could she be?!
He suddenly looked around, then rushed out through the exit near the restroom into the restaurant, searching for Alice Conley.
No, nothing!
People were coming and going outside, but Alice was nowhere to be seen.
All Dorian felt was his body rapidly cooling with cold sweat breaking out from his palms and back, his heart seed to be sinking further, almost losing the sense of its beating.
Nothing must happen to her! She absolutely can’t have anything happen to her!
He kept shouting in his heart, yet he felt his mind becoming blank, and even his body seed about to collapse.
Until the mont he suddenly saw her silhouette, he finally heard his own heartbeat again.
She was speaking to a man, his back facing Dorian; Dorian didn’t see his face. She seed to be smiling and saying sothing, then the man bowed his head, and she brushed her hand over his hair.
She’s there, she’s fine!
At that mont, Dorian couldn’t care about anything else. His focus was solely on her. He just rushed over and embraced her, feeling her breath, her warmth, and her presence.
Alice Conley was stunned. What’s going on here? "Hey, Dorian, what are you doing?"
"You scared , really scared ," he murmured, even his arms trembled as he held her. "I was so terrified of not finding you, scared sothing happened to you..."
Alice was taken aback. He was... looking for her just now? His voice, even his hands, were trembling so much. In her mind, he was the tall guy who could withstand anything, but now, he was like this because of searching for her.
Alice hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were looking for . I just got excited when I saw Jacob, so I ca out to greet him." As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently patted his back.
Only then did Dorian slowly return to normal, looking toward the man originally standing with Alice, who turned out to be Jacob Fletcher, soone he had t once before.
