The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Teddy shot Allison a resentful look.

She handed him a bag with a grin. "Got you something you like."

Teddy opened the bag, and his eyes lit up.

"Chestnut cake. You said the ones from Stellar University's cafeteria are the best, so I got you some," Allison explained.

Teddy huffed but immediately started eating.

Dwight, sitting in the back seat, reached over to grab a piece, causing a scuffle.

"Dwight, this is from Allison. If you want some, get your own!" Teddy protested. Dwight smacked Teddy on the back of the head. "You little rascal!"

They went for lunch at the Ellis family's restaurant.

Kismet was waiting at the door, beaming when she saw Allison. "Allison, finally! How long has it been since you last visited?"

Allison linked her arm through Kismet's. "I've been busy, but I'll stay here for a few days once things settle down."

Kismet was pleased, patting Allison's shoulder. "You've lost some weight, but you look good. Come on, I'll make you something delicious."

She pulled Allison inside.

Dwight followed, scrutinizing the place. "You're Kismet?"

Kismet turned, her expression changing when she saw Dwight. "Dwight, you're still alive?"

Teddy, mid-bite of his chestnut cake, choked, his face turning red as he struggled to breathe. "Allison... help..."

Allison rushed over, performing the Heimlich maneuver until Teddy coughed up the cake piece, gasping for air.

"Useless. You can't even eat without choking," Dwight remarked disdainfully.

Kismet pushed Dwight aside. "That's a bit harsh, don't you think?"

Allison noticed that Dwight didn't retaliate, which was unusual.

Kismet checked on Teddy, relieved he was okay.

"Allison, who is this...?" Kismet asked.

"Teddy, Alexander's nephew," Allison replied.

Kismet appraised Teddy, nodding approvingly. "He looks good. A well-behaved kid. Allison, get him inside for some water."

Allison led Teddy inside, who kept glancing back curiously at Kismet and Dwight.

"Allison, what's up with Dwight? He's not even arguing back. That's not like him," Teddy murmured.

Allison chuckled. "I guess there's someone out there who can handle him! Kismet's tough; Dwight might be in trouble."

Teddy was dying of curiosity, craning his neck to see what was happening outside.

Later, Kismet went to the kitchen, and Dwight kept peeking in that direction.noveldrama

"Dwight, do you have a thing for Kismet? You seem a bit too jumpy around her!" Teddy teased from behind.

Dwight turned and smacked him. "Why don't you worry about yourself instead? I'll deal with you!"

They started roughhousing, showing a side of Dwight few knew. Allison had once respected him deeply, but over time, his image had crumbled. Was this really the esteemed scholar?

"Dwight, stop right now! Or I'll chop you up!" Kismet burst out of the kitchen, brandishing a knife.

Dwight immediately quieted down, slinking over to sit by Allison with his tail between his legs.

Allison noticed Dwight smiling despite being scolded, which made her laugh. "Dwight, you're doomed. Kismet hates immature men. Sure, she likes guys with brains, but..." Allison remarked.

Before Allison could finish, Dwight straightened up, put on his glasses, and adopted a scholarly demeanor. Allison and Teddy were stunned by his quick transformation. Kismet's homemade food was delicious. Teddy ate without lifting his head, while Allison noticed Dwight tearing up as she served him.

"Mr. Sullivan, are you okay?" Allison asked, concerned.

Dwight wiped his tears, unashamed. "Allison, why is Kismet so stubborn? I've loved her

for most of my life, and it breaks my heart that she doesn't feel the same."

Allison was taken aback, realizing Dwight was still single at his age.

"So, are you saving yourself for a special occasion, or what?" Allison asked. Teddy spat out his soup, drawing everyone's attention.

Dwight's face contorted with rage. "Allison, you little brat, I'll kill you!"

Allison bolted for the door, crashing into someone.

Alexander caught her, looking down with concern. "What's going on?"

"Alexander, help!" Allison pleaded.

Alexander's face darkened as he saw Dwight chasing her. Without hesitation, he kicked Dwight away.

Teddy rushed to help Dwight up. "Alexander, are you crazy? That's Mr. Sullivan, my professor!"

Alexander froze but kept his hold on Allison. "Are you hurt?"

Seeing Dwight chasing Allison, Alexander didn't care who he was. No one got to hurt Allison, not even her professor.

Allison shook her head and gently pushed Alexander aside before going over to check on Dwight.

Dwight huffed and stood up, giving Alexander a once-over. He had to admit, Alexander was pretty handsome, and as the richest man in Novaria, he had the money to match his looks. But Dwight felt he was not good enough for Allison.

Dwight pulled Allison back. "Nice to meet you! But I have to ask-who are you, really?" Teddy barely contained his laughter, while the Ellises couldn't hold back their chuckles. Alexander's face darkened.

Allison spoke up first, "Dwight, this is Alexander, my fiancé."
