CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 398: THE FEELING OF BEING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

If we fall into it again, in the end, it will only make both of us more miserable.

"You’re really a heartless girl!" he sneered, "Do you want to get out of the car? Fine, tell me the real reason why you broke up with me back then, and I’ll let you out."

Alice Conley’s body suddenly stiffened, then she said, "I’ve already told you the reason clearly. You and I are from two different worlds. We are too different in every aspect, it’s just not suitable."

"Liar!" he said mercilessly.

"I’m not!" she insisted, staring at him with wide eyes, striving not to lose to him in momentum.

He looked into her wide, dark eyes, a hint of bewilderment flashed through his, "If that really was the reason you broke up with me, then you’re not the Alice Conley I know. Tell me the real reason, otherwise, I won’t let you out of the car today."

Alice was anxious; if the car really stayed parked here, it would surely attract attention. After all, Dorian Howard’s car was a Bentley, not something you see everywhere on the main road. Especially since the parking spot was right in front of her own neighborhood.

"I already told you the reason, Dorian. I really broke up with you for this reason. I never thought of finding a wealthy young master as my future husband. I just want to find someone more or less at my level and live a simple life..." Alice hurriedly said.

"You little liar!" Dorian lowered his head and kissed Alice directly on the lips.

This kiss made her confused and uneasy. Alice only felt like she was an easily defeated soldier, starting to abandon her armor and helmet in his presence.

It was all messed up... all messed up...

Just this once, let herself indulge just this once, she told herself in her heart, as if giving herself an excuse for her behavior at the moment.

After all, in her heart, he had never really been erased...

Her hands, from initially resisting, gradually wrapped around his neck, and he, from initially punishing, also became intrigued...

The two became engrossed in the kiss.

Meanwhile, outside the car, a middle-aged couple walking back from outside the neighborhood stood by the windshield, eyes wide, staring at the scene inside.

"Honey, do you think that girl in there looks a bit like our Alice?"

"No way. Our Alice is so conservative. How could she do something so indecent in broad daylight!"

"But... she really looks like Alice to me."

So, when Alice Conley and Dorian Howard were lost in their passionate kiss, the car door was abruptly pounded by a large hand.

In her daze, Alice saw her dad, looking fierce, pressing his face against the car window, seemingly yelling something.

And beside her dad stood her mom.

For a moment, Alice felt as if she were struck by lightning.

————

Alice felt really unlucky. Usually, when she firmly rejected Dorian Howard, her parents weren’t around. Yet at this rare moment of lost composure, when she kissed Dorian, her parents caught them red-handed.

Especially now, in the Conley family’s living room, her dad was pointing at her nose, yelling, "What on earth am I supposed to say about you? Was that behavior in the car something a decent girl from a respectable family would do?"
