The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Hearing Jasper's words, Hayden shut his eyes. He knew deep down, he was the one who deserved the punishment.

At the cemetery, Allison brought Valencia her favorite flowers. The Bishop family cemetery had been in the family for generations. Preston almost sold it, but Allison fought tooth and nail to keep it.

"Valencia, I came to see you. Today's my engagement day, and I brought Alexander to meet you! You always said you had poor judgment marrying Hayden, but I think you had great judgment. Otherwise, how could you accept me as your granddaughter? I've let Jasper go. He's your grandson after all. As long as he stays on the right path, I'll make sure he's okay," Allison said.

Allison got what Hayden was trying to do when he called her. In the end, Jasper was the one he cared about most.

"Hello, Valencia. I'm Alexander, Allison's future husband. We're not married yet, but I'm already committed to Allison. I'll spend my life treating her well, loving her, respecting her, and supporting her," Alexander said earnestly.

"Valencia, I want you to see that I'm doing well and to be at peace. You see, you had great judgment after all. Otherwise, you wouldn't have such a wonderful granddaughter and grandson-in-law!" Allison said.

Alexander squeezed her hand. "I'm so lucky to have met Allison. We'll love each other for a lifetime, and I hope Allison will live a peaceful and happy life."

At the Carter family cemetery, there were not only Alexander's mother but also other Carters. Alexander came today not just to visit his mother but also to pay respects to other family members.

Standing in the cemetery, surrounded by the gravestones, Allison felt her eyes well up with tears. These people, whose names were etched in stone, were now her family. After wandering for so long, she finally had a family.noveldrama

"Come, Allison, take a look," Aiden said gently, guiding her towards the graves. "From this moment on, you're part of the Carter family. You and Alexander are bound together. In our family, divorce is not an option. If Alexander has chosen you, it's for life. If he ever fails you, he's not worthy of being a Carter. Remember, Allison, you must also honor the legacy of the Carter family."

These things should have been done after the wedding, but Alexander couldn't wait and asked Aiden to bring Allison to the Carter family cemetery early.

"Alexander, Allison, you must support each other and spend your lives together," Aiden said, handing them a pair of gemstones.

Allison's eyes widened as she looked at the precious stones, then turned to Alexander. "Aren't these too valuable?"

Alexander smiled. "It's our family tradition. Someday, we'll pass them on to our kids."

Alexander didn't tell Allison that these gemstones were for the head of the Carter family and their spouse.

Allison had a vague sense of it but didn't say anything. Aiden giving her such important items showed his acceptance and regard for her.

After visiting the cemetery, Allison headed back with the Carter family. Alexander went

to the hotel to get things ready, while Jessa and Liliana took Allison to get her makeup done and change into her dress.

Aiden got to the hotel early and was chilling with some old friends in the lounge. Allison got a call from Henry before she reached the hotel.

"Allison, Mr. Watson is on his way. He wants to see you," Henry said.

Joe sat in the back seat, his eyes coldly fixed on Henry, making Henry super nervous.

"Mr. Watson is coming? Great, Alexander has arranged a lounge for you. We can meet there," Allison replied.

After Henry hung up, Joe finally spoke, "A big event like an engagement, and that Dwight knew first? And he didn't even tell me? Unbelievable!"

Henry shrank back slightly. The relationship between Dwight and Joe was notoriously contentious. Despite being in their eighties, they still argued every time they met. Henry remembered the time they even fought over who would get to mentor Allison. Just thinking about the upcoming scene gave him a headache.

Henry quietly took out his phone and sent a message: [Mr. Watson is very angry. Good luck!]

Allison was surprised by the message and called Alexander.

"Where did you seat Mr. Sullivan?" Allison asked.

Alexander quickly replied, "He and Mr. Watson are seated close to each other."

Allison sighed. Dwight and Joe together could easily end up fighting.

"Mr. Watson is almost here. Be prepared and try to keep them apart," Allison reminded.

Alexander raised an eyebrow but saw Dwight arriving as he looked up.

"Allison, Mr. Sullivan is here. Teddy and Mr. Watson have also arrived."

Allison rushed to the hotel and went straight upstairs with Mia.

Jessa and Liliana went to the hall to check on the arrangements, still worried about Alexander's setup.

In the lounge, Allison saw Teddy and Henry standing at the door, exchanging glances.

"Are Mr. Watson and Dwight inside?" Allison asked.

Henry and Teddy turned to look at her, both showing a hint of admiration.

Allison wore a simple white dress that highlighted her figure. Her makeup was simple and elegant, enhancing her natural beauty.

"Allison, you look stunning today!" Teddy marveled.

Mia, standing with her arms crossed, rolled her eyes at Teddy. "Teddy, control yourself. You're practically drooling. You better watch out; if Alexander sees you like this, he'll knock you out!"

Teddy coughed and glared back at Mia.

Henry chuckled and walked over, holding out a small box to Allison. "An engagement gift."

Allison was surprised; she hadn't expected Henry to prepare a gift for her.

"Thank you, Henry!" Allison said.

Henry nodded. "Open it."

Allison opened the box without much thought and was stunned by the jewelry inside.

"Is this... a gemstone?" Allison asked.

Henry nodded. "Yes. I had it carved as a gift for you."
