The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Just as Shirley and Oliver were plotting against Allison, she was off visiting Carl with Alexander.

Carl, who had been shot, was chilling at a private retreat. He hated crowded hospitals, so he just bought the whole place. When Allison showed up, he was lounging on the balcony, soaking up the sun.

Allison grinned, "Looks like you're bouncing back!"

She brought a thermos of food for Carl, packed from Hunter's hotel. She knew his taste, so she picked light, simple dishes.

Carl's eyes lit up when he saw Allison. If only Alexander, that annoying guy, wasn't tagging along.

Carl said, "I thought you wouldn't come to see me."

Allison huffed and looked at Carl. "I didn't want to, but after everything, I realized some things. No matter what your intentions were when we first met, you didn't hurt me too much. So, I can forgive you. But don't deceive me again, or we're done."

Carl shook his head with a smile, knowing he was helpless when it came to Allison. "Alright, I won't do it again. Happy now?"noveldrama

On the way there, Allison had sent the video to Yasmin. Yasmin had already seen it and knew the Walker family's shamelessness well. How to deal with it was her decision now. Allison wouldn't meddle in the Walker family's affairs anymore.

After checking Carl and leaving a prescription, Allison suggested he head back home to recover. Staying in Novaria required a visa, which was fine short-term, but long-term, it would be a hassle for Carl.

Carl said, "You're about to celebrate the New Year. I told Alexander we'd wait for you on the island. Felix has already been sent to Eldoria; he won't disappoint you. Also, there's some trouble in Vesperia. Elijah has gone there, so be careful. Even though the Ellis family has been exposed, it's still too dangerous to stay here."

Allison wasn't too worried about safety, but a lot of her projects were based here. Dwight's project needed to continue, Benjamin's research had to go on, and she had to report to Stellar University for her postdoctoral studies in artificial intelligence.

Allison and Carl chatted a lot while he ate and Alexander worked on his laptop on the sofa.

Allison pulled Alexander into the discussion about Benjamin's experiment.

She explained first, "We're planning to 3D print all the designed parts. The previous location was compromised, so we need a hidden place for the experiment."

Alexander glanced at Carl and said, "The island has a basement, a large space, perfect for your work."

Allison raised an eyebrow. Alexander had thought of everything and prepared quickly. "Did you plan to use it as a lab?"

Alexander shook his head. "When I bought it, there was already an underground bunker with five-foot-thick reinforced concrete walls. Even a missile couldn't break it. It cost a lot. I've transferred the ownership to you. You can arrange it however you like."

It was meant to be a gift for Allison, so Alexander didn't mind giving her an island. Carl gave Alexander a deep look.

Alexander, that cunning guy, subtly flaunted their relationship in front of Carl and won Allison over with these perks. What a sly dude!

"Really, I can do whatever I want?" Allison smiled at Alexander, who wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her forehead.

Alexander replied, "Of course. I'm all yours. An island is nothing."

"Alright, in return, I'll give you something too." Allison hugged Alexander's neck. He smirked, looking pleased. "Sure, what do you want to give me?"

Allison thought for a moment, then showed him a document on her phone. Alexander's face changed after reading it. "Is this quartz?"

Allison nodded. "Eighty years ago, the Bishop family bought an island abroad full of quartz. It hasn't been mined for nearly a century. In exchange, the island is yours. I know you need this now. James has been looking for materials everywhere. We have it ourselves, no need to ask others."

Alexander was astonished. He didn't expect Allison to have such resources. He picked her up, about to kiss her, but Carl interrupted. "Hey, you two! I'm still here! Can I eat in peace?"

Allison felt a bit embarrassed. As she was about to get down, Alexander carried her outside and pinned her against the wall, kissing her deeply. "Allison, I love you."

It wasn't just about the island. He felt they were becoming more compatible in every way. Alexander was incredibly grateful to have met Allison, such a wonderful girl.

Allison smiled and kissed him back. They kissed for over ten minutes before stopping. Allison leaned against Alexander's chest.

Alexander said, "I wish you could grow up faster so we could get married sooner."

Allison laughed at Alexander. He only lost his cool in front of her.

Allison responded, "I'll be nineteen after the New Year. Time flies."

She laughed and ran towards the bathroom. Alexander watched her back helplessly and followed her.

Carl was left alone, eating his meal, feeling a bit helpless but satisfied seeing Allison happy. As she said, they were family, and family was forever.

Leaving the retreat, Allison and Alexander went home for dinner. Knowing Liliana would return in a few days, Allison suggested she stay on the first floor. "The second floor requires climbing stairs. Liliana needs bed rest now, and it will be inconvenient. As her belly grows, her mobility will decrease, and she might need a wheelchair later." Aiden and Alexander's faces changed instantly, looking at Allison. She had to be honest. "I didn't tell Liliana everything. She's so excited about the baby. I didn't want to dampen her spirits. Liliana has a spinal issue. It seems fine now, but as her belly grows, walking will become harder. We can install an elevator, but it's best for her to stay on the first floor."

Aiden, worried about Liliana, didn't refuse. "Let's do as Allison says. Move the study upstairs and give Liliana that room. As for Victor from the Wilson family, I'll deal with him when I get back!"
