Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 962 - 1001: It’ll Only Make Him Angrier

"It’s not true!" Mabel Quinn’s face suddenly turned pale, "I... I initially came to your Corporation with the intention of pleading for Mr. Conley, but when I saw you, I..."

"Enough!" He interrupted her, "If you truly love me, you should understand my pain, shouldn’t you? Why do you keep pleading for someone who can be considered my enemy over and over again? Is your love for me just that shallow?"

Mabel couldn’t help but have her eyes filled with tears. Yes, how could she not understand his pain, his hurt? Because she understood, she realized he has always been trapped in that shadow, never truly moving on.

"Kyle, I... understand, but I..."

"But you care about your friend, wanting to plead for her family to me. To you, who is more important, me or your friend?" He stood up, put back on the clothes he had taken off, then bent down to dress her one piece at a time.

Despite his icy expression, his actions were gentle and careful.

"Alright, I’ll have someone take you back." He said.

"Kyle..." She couldn’t help but want to speak again. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

But his finger had already pressed against her lips, "No matter what you say now, it will only make me angrier. Think it through, and when you want to give me an answer that makes me happy, come find me! If you’re still looking for me to plead for someone, then don’t bother."

At this moment, his eyes were deep, and his voice was like a warning, telling her what his bottom line was.

Alice Conley looked at Dorian Howards’ mother in front of her, whom she should now call mother-in-law, even though the other party had not acknowledged her as a daughter-in-law at all. And now, it was clear her visit was ill-intentioned, looking at her with obvious disdain.

"I wonder what business you have with me, mother-in-law?" Alice asked, because a few days ago, due to emotional agitation over her father’s matter, she had been in the Hospital, so Dorian let her rest at home for two days.

Hence, Alice enjoyed her meals and had been nurturing her pregnancy. But today, she woke up to the servant saying Dorian’s mother was in the downstairs living room, which surprised Alice.

She initially thought her future mother-in-law might intend to completely avoid interacting with her, but didn’t expect her to appear before her so soon.

The word "mother-in-law" directly irritated Gemma’s ears, and she frowned, "I am not ’fortunate’ enough to be your mother-in-law, I suggest you call me Mrs. Howards instead."

Alice shrugged, "Then I’ll call you old Mrs. Howards, after all, the servants in this villa usually call me madam, if there are two Mrs. Howards, people might get confused."

Gemma gritted her teeth in anger, old... Mrs. Howards... listening to that felt like calling her grandmother!

It seemed every time she met Alice Conley, she would be infuriated by the other party.

"Old Mrs. Howards, since you specifically came to see me, just say whatever you want." Alice said, while sipping the hot milk the servant had brought to fill her stomach.

Gemma coldly looked at the other woman and her obviously protruding belly, she had no expectations for the child in Alice’s belly. As long as her son was willing to separate from Alice Conley, even if there was really one more child, so what, their Howards Family could afford it.
