The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 64 Do You Have a Lover As soon as Mia finished talking, the room burst into laughter, and Allison couldn't help but join in. After they wrapped up their meal, Hunter went to settle the bill, but Kismet stopped him. "Ms. Bennett doesn't need to pay. This is her home, and who pays to eat at their own home?" Kismet's warm attitude put everyone at ease.

Now, Declan and the others owed Allison a favor, and they enjoyed this big meal. They'd definitely repay her someday.

"Allison, this is the best birthday I've ever had. Thank you!" Mia said, giving Allison a kiss on the cheek before leaving, which made Allison chuckle.

As they walked to the alley entrance, they saw Hunter pulling up in a sleek, light purple Lamborghini. "Is this the gift you got for Mia?" Alexander asked Hunter.

Hunter nodded, looking a bit sheepish. "Mia said she wanted to get her driver's license, so I got her a car. Hey, dude, don't tell Liliana. You have to keep it a secret!" Liliana adored her daughter but would never let Mia do something risky like learning to drive.

Given Mia's clumsy nature, Allison also thought driving wasn't the best idea for her, but she knew Hunter meant well.

Alexander turned to Allison. He knew Kismet wanted to chat with her, so he said, "I'll wait for you in the car. Callwhen you're done, and I'll cget you." Alexander didn't stay in the restaurant because he respected Allison's space. If he liked her, he shouldn't invade her privacy.

"I can go back by myself!" Allison said, feeling a bit shy.

Alexander just ruffled her hair with a smile. "Go ahead, no need to feel embarrassed around me!" Alexander stood at the alley entrance, watching her until she went inside before heading to his car.

As soon as he got in, his phone rang. It was Mason, but Alexander just tossed the phone onto the back seat, not planning to answer.

He and Mason, along with Declan and Landon, had grown up together. With twenty years of friendship, they knew each other inside out.

The Grey Group and the Carter Group had a lot of business together, especially in shipping. The Grey Group had mines all over the world, and the minerals they extracted were transported globally using the Carter Group's routes. Over the years, Alexander had supported the Grey Group a lot, but today's events had ticked him off, making him feel a growing resentment towards the Grey family.

Had Mason arrived, Alexander wouldn't have let him join their meal. Aware of Alexander's temper, Mason wisely refrained from trying.

Now Mason was calling to patch things up and apologize, but Alexander wasn't in the mood to answer.

Beside Mason, Sloane was whining, "Mason, what's going on? Declan and the others went out for a late-night snack with Alexander. Why didn't they invite you?" If Mason had gone, she could've tagged along, but he didn't, and that made Sloane pretty upset.

Mason was getting more and more annoyed with his sister. Alexander had turned her down countless times, yet she still lived in her fantasy world.

Thinking of this, Mason said bluntly, "Why would they invite me? So I could bring you along to target Ms. Bennett and embarrass yourself in front of Alexander? Sloane, you're an adult now. Think before you act. Even though Alexander and I are friends, it doesn't matter. If you keep provoking Allison, the Grey family will be the next to go bankrupt." With that, Mason shoved Sloane aside, ready to head upstairs, but Sloane yelled, "Alexander is mine! He belongs to me! Why should Allison take him away? Mason, you're my brother; you should help me." Mason, fed up, slapped Sloane and shouted, "Help you with what? Help you get into his bed or beca homewrecker? Sloane, you've had a good education. Look at yourself now. You're acting just like those girls in nightclubs. This is my final warning: if you dare to act out again, I'll send you abroad!" Sloane cried bitterly, but Mason ignored her.

Meanwhile, Allison returned to the small courtyard, where Kismet was waiting for her at the door.

"Ms. Bennett, con!" Kismet cheerfully took Allison's hand and led her into the main house. As they climbed the steps, Kismet's legs were unsteady, and Allison discreetly supported her.

"All this is for you. Eat up!" Kismet had saved a lot of good food for Allison, who didn't hesitate to dig in.

After eating, Allison began to check Kismet's health and then looked at the middle-aged man beside her. "Xavier, helplay Kismet down." The man called Xavier quickly laid Kismet's legs flat, and Allison rolled up Kismet's pant legs to give her a massage treatment.

Soon, Kismet's legs were flushed with improved blood circulation. During a break, Allison wrote two prescriptions and handed them to Xavier. "One for drinking, and the other for soaking the feet. With both treatments, her leg condition will be cured in three months!" Xavier was overjoyed and quickly thanked Allison. "Thank you, Ms. Bennett!" Allison smiled and took a sip of tea from a nearby cup.

"Ms. Bennett, is any of the men here today your boyfriend?" Kismet asked bluntly.

Hearing Kismet's question, Allison blushed. "Kismet, what are you thinking? I'm still young!"

But Kismet laughed even more heartily, realizing Allison indeed had a boyfriend. "So what Your Co grandmother had your uncle when she was eighteen. It's just a pity he passed away young." Uncle? Allison raised an eyebrow. How cshe didn't know she had an uncle?

Kismet didn't care she had let anything slip. After all, Allison was old enough to know sthings. Kismet continued, "When your grandmother had your uncle, Skycrest had just cout of a war. Your grandfather was busy with work, so I took care of her. Your uncle was a good kid, even more handsthan your dad. He looked the most like your grandmother. He becan officer at a young age, but unfortunately, he died during a rescue operation." This was a lifelong pain for Allison's grandmother, Valencia. Although Valencia had a younger son, it couldn't make up for the loss of her eldest. She soon fell ill.

Then, when the eldest son's wife gave birth to the baby, she died from excessive bleeding while the baby survived. To prevent the child from becoming an orphan, Valencia decided to decided to let Preston adopt the child. Until today, Allison had never thought that Jasper wasn't her father's son. After all, Preston had always treated Jasper well. Knowing Jasper's background, Allison felt sorry for her uncle. If he were still alive, perhaps the Bennett family wouldn't be in its current state.
