The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 128 Meeting His Family 2 When they pulled up to the entrance of Carter Manor, Allison was so nervous she could barely catch her breath. Alexander found it pretty funny and pulled her into a hug. "Chill out!" he said, giving her a quick kiss on the forehead.

A few folks in the living room caught this little scene. While Liliana and the others didn't seem too fazed, Jessa, seeing it for the first time, was totally shocked and just stared. "Is that really Alexander?" Jessa blurted out. Griffin just snorted and kept quiet.

Liliana chimed in, "Who else? He's got no shame. The girl's only eighteen, and he's already got his eyes on her..." Aiden, on the other hand, was thrilled. "Everyone, zip it! Griffin, if you dare show any attitude in front of Allison, you're gonna regret it!" Jessa couldn't help but laugh at Griffin's annoyed look. It was rare to see him like that.

As soon as Allison and Alexander walked in, Aiden rushed over to greet them.

"Dad, this is my girlfriend, Allison!" Alexander introduced her.

Allison was so nervous she was at a loss for words.

Aiden noticed her discomfort and gave her a reassuring smile. "Allison, it's great to finally meet you. This is Griffin and Jessa, and this is Liliana. Victor went to pick up Mia; they'll be here soon!" Allison looked at Griffin and the kind Jessa beside him and greeted them politely.

"Allison, you're so cute! Con, letshow you to a seat!" Jessa said warmly. She always regretted not having a daughter, and when Liliana had Mia, she was super envious.

Just as Allison sat down, Mia walked in. As soon as she saw Allison, she ran over.

"Allison, I'm here!" Mia, that little whirlwind, was buzzing around Allison like a busy bee.

Liliana pulled Mia away. "You little rascal, stop buzzing around. You're making Allison dizzy." The scene was both heartwarming and a bit funny. Worried that Allison might be nervous, Alexander walked over to her and said, "Are you okay?" Victor, holding Liliana, looked at Allison with curiosity.

Allison greeted them, her face turning red.

Victor smiled. "Ms. Bennett, I heard you're Joe's student. What's your specialty?" Victor immediately wanted to dive into a medical chat with Allison, which made Liliana roll her eyes.

"Allison's here for the first time. Can you save the shop talk for later?" Liliana said.

Victor nodded with a smile and backed off.

Allison, however, looked at Victor and said, "Actually, you should know Robert. He works at the scompany as you!" Victor nodded, and this the ignored Liliana, pulling Allison into a conversation.

"Robert, huh? That guy's a pain, always hoarding formulas and not sharing!" Victor said.

Allison laughed because Robert was indeed very stingy.

"Allison, I heard you're planning to go to college here. Got a major in mind? If not, think about Stellar University?" Victor asked. He was a professor at Stellar University, specializing in medicine, and he had a soft spot for students like Allison.

"Stellar University? No way!" Mia rushed over and grabbed Allison's arm.

"Allison, we should totally apply to Skycrest University, not Stellar. I can't get into Stellar!" Mia pouted at Allison. Victor looked at Mia, a bit exasperated. "This is about Allison's future. Don't mess it up!" Mia pouted even more, looking at Allison with big, hopeful eyes.

Allison felt a bit torn. Alexander, sitting next to her, couldn't help but find the whole situation amusing. Allison had fit right into the Carter family, and everyone already treated her like one of their own.

"I already have a PhD in medicine. If I go to Stellar University, I might pursue a double major in artificial intelligence and biopharmaceuticals, as these are my research interests," Allison said. Victor's eyes went wide with surprise.

"Awesome! Then I'll be waiting for you at Stellar University!" Victor's face lit up like he'd just won the lottery. Jessa was also taken aback, staring at Allison for a while. After Liliana explained, she finally got it. "Alexander, she's incredible! Honestly, you're kinda not good enough for her. Look at her, young, beautiful, and with a bright future. And you?" Jessa teased, making Alexander's face darken. Mia burst out laughing, and soon the whole family was laughing along. Even Griffin, who had been a bit skeptical about Allison, seemed to warm up to her.

Just as the Carter family was having a good time, the butler cin to announce that the Grey family had arrived.

Aiden looked a bit surprised. "Who from the Grey family?" "Mr. Peyton Grey, Ms. Grey, and Mr. Mason Grey," the butler replied.

So, the whole Grey family had shown up.

Aiden's expression darkened. Why did the Grey family have to show up on such a good day? But they were old acquaintances, and it wouldn't be right to turn them away, so he let them in.

Peyton Grey walked in and quickly shook hands with Aiden. "Aiden, it's been a while!"

Aiden nodded and had someone serve tea. Peyton sat down, glanced around at everyone, and noticed Allison. He didn't pay much attention to her at first, but Aiden introduced her. "Peyton, letintroduce you. This is Allison, Alexander's fiancée," Aiden said. Sloane and Mason looked shocked. Peyton was even more surprised.

"This girl looks quite young," Peyton said, trying to be polite.

Aiden didn't mind at all. "Yeah, Allison is young, smart, and respectful. It's Alexander who's not good enough for Allison! Allison, you know Peyton, Sloane, and Mason, right?" Allison stood up and greeted them politely. "Mr. Peyton Grey, hello. Ms. Grey, Mr. Mason Grey, long tno see!"

Alexander was right beside her. As soon as Allison finished greeting, he quickly pulled her back to sit down, like he was afraid someone might give her a hard time. Sloane, sitting ve across from them, instantly had tears in her eyes. Allison was actually going to marry Alexander? That was absolutely ridiculous. How could this even happen?
