Alice Conley's face suddenly changed, and she quickly said, "Dorian Howards, stop the car. I don't want to meet your mother."
"Alice!" His voice deepened, "I beg you to come with me. Let me have more courage to fight the resistance from my family. Let me know that you're willing to stand by my side. Don't let it come to the point where I lose my purpose in fighting."
Alice pressed her lips together and stayed silent.
Dorian continued, "As long as you're willing to be with me, then no matter what kind of resistance there is, I can withstand it. I can level it. Alice, I will protect you, so you don't have to be afraid of anything. Just stand by my side."
Alice remained silent until the car stopped in front of a villa. He pulled her out of the car, holding her hand.
Alice didn't expect to see Dorian's mother so soon again. Likewise, Gemma didn't expect that after being infuriated by Alice yesterday, this girl would come in openly holding her son's hand.
