Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 629 - 655: Worry

"Yesterday, when you bought soy sauce, you went to the ATM nearby to withdraw some money and bought a few red envelopes," he said.

"..." She hadn’t noticed at all; his actions were quick enough.

At this moment, the shop assistant had already wrapped up the chocolates and handed them over to Alice Conley.

Alice Conley took them and handed them to Dorian Howards, "Here, these are for you, nothing to do with me!"

Dorian Howards smiled and accepted them, but then asked the shop assistant to weigh some of each different type in the shop.

Alice Conley quickly said, "Hey, I don’t have enough money to buy all that! The amount he ordered would max out my card and still wouldn’t be enough!"

"I’ll buy them, no need for you to pay!" Dorian Howards said.

When the shop assistant reported the total weight and price, Alice Conley clutched her chest, feeling a twinge in her liver—it was indeed a staggering amount.

But Dorian Howards acted as if nothing happened and directly swiped his card to pay.

Hmm, the difference between the wealthy and the not-so-wealthy lies in this! Alice Conley concluded in her mind. After the shop assistant wrapped the chocolates, Dorian Howards tossed the bag containing the chocolates to Alice Conley, "Here, take it."

"Hey? What for?"

"It’s for you to eat. Try them and tell me which one you like best, so next month, when I give you a return gift, I’ll know what to buy," he said.

She was startled, never expecting that he would even know about the Valentine’s Day chocolate return gift tradition. The chocolates in her hand suddenly felt heavier, with an indescribable feeling rising in her chest.

His attentiveness, his thoughtfulness, his gentleness—the more she received now, the more she would eventually lose in the future. And when one day all of this ceased to exist, could she really recover as smoothly as she did three years ago?

Or, this time, would the pain she endured be even deeper than three years ago?

"Let’s go!" He saw she was lost in thought and pulled her along as they walked, "It’s almost noon. Let’s find a place in this mall to have lunch."

"Mm." She responded softly.

The two found a seafood restaurant, sat down, and ordered. Since Alice Conley liked shrimp, Dorian Howards helped peel the shrimp for her.

She felt embarrassed, "You don’t have to keep peeling them for me. You should eat too."

"I find it quite fun to peel shrimp for you, and besides, I’m eating too. It doesn’t take much time," he said, noticing some soy sauce at the corner of her mouth and using a napkin to wipe it off for her.

Alice Conley’s thick skin couldn’t help but blush. Once they were nearly done eating, Dorian Howards went to settle the bill, while Alice Conley took out her phone and called Mabel Quinn, intending to ask her friend how her Valentine’s Day was going.

However, shortly after the call connected, Alice Conley’s expression changed drastically. By the time Dorian Howards returned to their table, he saw Alice Conley hurriedly getting up with her bag.

"What happened?" Dorian Howards asked anxiously.

"Mabel left the mansion yesterday and is now staying alone in a hotel. She said she broke up with Kyle Kinston," Alice blurted out, "I have to go find Mabel right now."

Dorian Howards was shocked to hear this, "Broke up? You mean they broke up?"

"Yeah! Oh my God, how can this happen?" Alice Conley felt her head spinning. Weren’t they supposed to be in love? They were even planning to get married, but now they’ve actually split up.
