Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 678 - 705: Better Not Even Think About It

"Oh..." she responded blankly, still not fully awake, and absentmindedly, her hand reached his cheek and pinched it.

Around them, there was a gasp of shock. Oh my, what did they see? Alice Conley’s courage was too great, she actually dared to pinch Director Howards’ face like that.

However, Dorian Howards did not get angry, he just held Alice Conley’s hand, ready to take her away immediately.

Alice Conley finally seemed to wake up, this... this wasn’t a dream, "Hey, where are you taking me? I’m still at work!" she shouted urgently.

"Just take a leave," he said.

"But I’ll get my full attendance bonus deducted."

"I’ll compensate you double."

"..."

The two gradually walked away, their conversation growing fainter, leaving the people in the office staring at each other, unable to understand what was happening. Some people turned their gaze to Mabel Quinn, after all, Mabel Quinn was Alice Conley’s friend.

Mabel Quinn shrugged, "Don’t look at me, I’m just as clueless!"

She didn’t know if Dorian Howards suddenly showing up today had anything to do with Alice’s insomnia last night.

——————

Alice Conley was pulled out of the building where the Studio was located by Dorian Howards, feeling utterly baffled, "Dorian Howards, why are you dragging me out? Even if you’re rich, there’s no need to fuss over me!"

She tried hard to shake off his hand, but no matter what, his grip was so tight she couldn’t shake it off.

"What exactly are you doing?" she shouted.

He just pulled her all the way to his car, pushed her directly into it, then started the car and drove away from the building entrance.

"Dorian Howards, where are you taking me?" Alice Conley asked.

He asked in return, "Did you meet my mom yesterday?"

She was startled, not expecting him to know about it.

He glanced at her expression and knew it was true, "No matter what my mom said to you, you don’t need to worry about it. Marriage is my own, I’m not at the point of sacrificing my marriage for the family."

Alice Conley lowered her head, don’t need to worry? How could she possibly do that? After all, that woman was his mother, every word she said was something she took to heart.

And because she took it to heart, it made the pain even more intense.

Her quiet demeanor made him feel even more uneasy; he would rather her be loud and noisy, it would make him feel better. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Any thoughts of leaving me, you better not even think about it!" Dorian Howards suddenly said.

Alice Conley quickly raised her head and saw the serious and earnest look on his face.

"If you dare say something like that, believe me, I’ll really strangle you!" Dorian Howards said.

Suddenly, she felt a pang of heartache, but on the surface, she still tried to act upset and retorted, "If you strangle me, you’ll end up in jail too."

"I wouldn’t waste the country’s resources, after strangling you, I’d just end it myself," he said with annoyance.

This man... how could she not love him? It’s just a pity that she and he are destined to be two parallel lines.

The car continued moving forward, and Alice Conley asked once more, "Where exactly are you taking me?"

"To the villa I’m living in now." He replied, then added, "To meet my mom."
