Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 604 - 629-630 Visiting for New Year Greetings

She raised her hand, gently stroking his face; hmm, even after a night, his skin still felt so good to the touch, and his eyelashes were so long, truly incredible. Such eyelashes would make even women jealous.

Her fingers gently slid twice over his eyelashes, savoring the feeling of being brushed by "fans."

Her fingers then slowly brushed over the bridge of his nose, landing on his lips. His lips were slightly thin but very sensual, with a faint rose hue. When he smiled, it truly gave the feeling of a beauty capable of captivating cities and countries.

If he were born in ancient times, dressed in robes whiter than snow, playing a lute? Or perhaps sword dancing? What a sight it would be!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Mabel Quinn’s mind about the cosplay wedding photos that Alice Conley had mentioned before, or the suggestion of wearing Hanfu for wedding photos. Now that she thought about it, it didn’t seem like such a bad idea after all.

As she was lost in thought, she didn’t notice that those dark phoenix eyes had already opened. "You... you’re awake..." she stammered, her face starting to heat up.

"Was it fun?" he asked.

"..." Mabel Quinn pouted. It wasn’t playing just now, was it? At most, she only gently touched his face. "By the way, I’m going out this afternoon." She quickly changed the subject.

"Then I’ll go with you," he said.

"No need. I’m going shopping with Alice. Us girls shopping, what’s the point of having a big guy tagging along!" she said, using an excuse she had thought up in advance.

This afternoon, she was going to make chocolates, and then give them to him early tomorrow morning. To tell the truth, it was the first time she was making handmade chocolates like this, and for some reason, she was a bit excited when she thought about him eating the chocolates then.

"Then let me give you a lift," he said.

"There’s no need for that trouble; I’ll just grab a cab!" she retorted, and then darted out of bed and into the bathroom. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In the bathroom, facing her flushed reflection, Mabel Quinn felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

Tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day would be beautiful, right?

On the first day of the New Year, Alice Conley followed her parents to visit her grandparents. Almost every year, they would have their New Year’s Eve dinner at Granny Taylor’s house, then visit grandpa and grandma’s house on the first day of the New Year. From the second to the sixth, they would spend all the time visiting relatives.

So, for Alice Conley, the impression of celebrating the New Year was actually about paying New Year’s visits and visiting relatives.

Come to think of it, sometimes having too many relatives can be a hassle. The few days of holiday during the New Year are barely enough for New Year’s visits, let alone personal time, which is quite scarce.

Grandpa and grandma’s house was bustling on the first day. Mom’s siblings had all agreed on a time, and they all gathered here today.

Naturally, Alice Conley’s marriage also became a hot topic among relatives.

"Alice, have you found a partner yet?"

"When can we drink your wedding wine?"

"Oh my, back then, I had a child at Alice’s age. Alice, you have to hurry up. When a woman gets older, it’s harder to find a partner!"

For these nosy relatives, Alice Conley felt speechless! Besides twitching the corners of her mouth and trembling slightly, she couldn’t do anything, and even pretending to be dead wouldn’t work.

Fortunately, her father and mother finally came to her rescue, but what they said only made Alice Conley feel like adding fuel to the fire.

"Our Alice has a partner, a good young man, well-mannered. I think he’s quite good," her father said.

"Maybe next year we’ll be inviting you all for wedding wine. I think their relationship is quite stable," her mother added.

Alice Conley almost choked on her breath.

"Mom, Dad, I... I don’t have a partner... don’t talk nonsense!" Alice Conley hurriedly said, afraid that the misunderstanding would grow bigger. Previously, the misunderstanding was only within her parents, making it easier to explain in the future. But if it spread to all the relatives, it would become even more troublesome.

"Oh, Alice is shy!" a relative teased.

Alice Conley slumped to the side, feeling a lump in her throat — what a discomfort! It wasn’t shyness at all!

Yet her own father and mother continued talking about Dorian Howards, especially her mother, who spoke with such enthusiasm! She praised Dorian Howards as someone unparalleled, practically the epitome of a good son-in-law.

Alice Conley held her forehead, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Some relatives expressed skepticism, "If this guy is so good, a high executive at a corporation, driving a luxury car, then how did our Alice come to know him? Don’t tell me it’s someone she met online! Nowadays, there are many online scammers. Alice isn’t being scammed, is she?"

"How could he be a scammer? Our Alice is so adorable; of course, she would attract good men," her father defended his daughter.

Her mother also repeatedly said that Dorian Howards was not a scammer. What kind of scammer only sends things to their home, and they’re all high-end goods?

As a result, the relatives split into two major camps — one camp believed that Alice Conley was indeed spotted by a high-status suitor, and her future life would be quite good.

The other camp believed Alice Conley had encountered a scammer; otherwise, considering her average education, not being a striking beauty, and having a mediocre job, why would a high-status suitor be interested in her?
