The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 132 The Meeting Gift is Too Luxurious Alexander never thought the Ember family could be so messed up. No wonder they had people like Blair and Helena.

One treated his own daughter like an enemy, and the other got involved with her brother-in-law. Seriously, a family with zero morals. Luckily, Allison stayed clear of their influence and kept her pure heart.

"Act like you don't know anything about the Ember family. If they cnear you, letknow," Alexander said. Allison nodded, still holding his hand as they stood at the top of the stairs.

"Hey, you two, can you chill? Everyone's watching," Mia couldn't help but comment.

Allison quickly let go of Alexander's hand, but he pulled her back.

"Ignore her. She's just jealous," Alexander said.

Mia huffed and walked away, heading over to complain to Aiden. Aiden, seeing Alexander holding Allison so affectionately, felt overjoyed.

"Con, Allison, sit next to me," Aiden called.

Allison obediently sat beside him, with Alexander next to her, and on Aiden's other side was the chatty Mia. Looking at the harmonious family scene, Aiden sighed, "If only Teddy were here." Teddy? Allison paused for a moment. Why did that nsound so familiar? But then she heard Griffin's sneer. "Forget it. As his father, I haven't seen him in almost three years. Who knows where he is! He is heartless; he never contacts the family. When he comes back, I'll give him a good beating!" Griffin's words were cut short by a glare from Jessa. "Who are you planning to beat?" Jessa's stern tone made Griffin immediately behave, causing Liliana to laugh nonstop.

"Griffin, Jessa, don't worry. Teddy is a good kid. He'll be fine," Victor reassured them, knowing sdetails about Teddy's secretive job.

Aiden, in his joy, insisted on everyone having a drink.

"Dad, your blood pressure is high. You shouldn't drink!" Liliana tried to stop him.

Aiden laughed heartily. "Just one glass, a small one. I'm feeling good today. Letindulge a bit!" Liliana had no choice but to let the butler bring the wine.

A glass was placed in front of Allison, who looked at Alexander awkwardly. She really couldn't handle alcohol, and even if she did drink, it would only be a bit of beer.

Alexander smiled and took her glass, downing it in one go. "I'll drink for Allison. She's still young and shouldn't drink." Aiden nodded approvingly. The atmosphere at lunch was great, with Alexander frequently offering Allison dishes, making Liliana roll her eyes.

"Jessa, this is rare. Alexander is actually being so attentive!" Liliana remarked.

Jessa laughed too. "Yes, Alexander was so difficult to serve when he was young. Now he's learned to be considerate!" Both of them teased Alexander, causing Allison to blush with embarrassment.

After lunch, the family gathered in the living room for stea. Liliana and Jessa each had a gift for Allison.

"Allison, this is a house Griffin and I bought for Alexander a long tago. It's our wedding gift to you both," Jessa said, handing Allison the deed to the house. Allison opened it and was stunned. The gift was a large villa, which felt a bit overwhelming.

"My gift is a jewelry store. It originally belonged to Alexander, but now everything inside is yours!" Liliana said, handing over the ownership documents for the store.

Allison quickly handed everything to Alexander. "You keep these. If I hold onto them, I'll be up all night counting sheep!" Alexander smiled and took them, then said, "Thank you, Jessa, Liliana!" Allison echoed, "Thank you, Jessa. Thank you, Liliana!" "Good girl, Allison. Csit with me," Jessa called, and Allison moved over, surrounded by Jessa, Liliana, and Mia, leaving Alexander feeling left out.

The three men went to the balcony to smoke. Griffin looked at Alexander and asked, "Once your your engagement to Allison is revealed, the Bennett family will definitely cafter her!" "Are you worried I can't protect her, or that she'll dragdown?" Alexander asked. Knowing Griffin's temperament well, Alexander added, "You should worry about your own son. He's not much younger than me, and at this rate, you won't be a grandfather even at seventy!" Griffin, frustrated, almost kicked Alexander.

"I just feel bad for Allison. She's such a good person; why doesn't the Bennett family like her?" Griffin sighed. Victor took a sip of his tea. As a father, he would be so proud if his daughter were as outstanding as Allison.

ON "I've heard about the Bennett family. Hayden built his fortune on his wife's wealth. His wife, Valencia, was the only daughter of the renowned Bishop family from Skycrest. The Bishop family had been prestigious for centuries. My grandfather was even a student of the Bishop family!" Victor's words brought a silence over the other two. Alexander finally understood why Allison was so exceptional. She was raised by Valencia, which explained her grace under pressure and unwavering spirit.

"So, it's Hayden who doesn't deserve his wife," Griffin commented.

Victor smiled and said, "Actually, when Hayden married into the Bishop family, he should have taken their surninstead of keeping his own. Their first son carries the Bishop surname, and Preston isn't Valencia's biological son." Alexander gripped his teacup tightly and looked towards the living room. Allison was playing with Mia, her face relaxed and smiling exactly what Alexander wanted to see. "I don't know if Allison knows all this, but I do know a bit about the Bennett family. Five years ago, they teamed up to kick Allison out. There must be a reason for it!" Victor said.
