The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 134 Asking Alexander to Join the Bishop Family

Alexander looked at Hayden with a serious expression and said, "I really love Allison. If she wasn't so young, I'd marry her right now. For now, I want to get engaged and let her decide when we get married." Hayden wasn't completely sold on Alexander's promise.

"Engagement is fine. Since Allison has accepted your relationship, she deserves the proper status," Hayden said.

Allison's eyes widened as she sensed something was off.

Then Hayden added, "But I have one condition: you have to join the Bishop family!" Allison, who had just taken a sip of water, choked and started coughing violently. Seeing this, Alexander quickly pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back.

"Take it easy. Breathe slowly, sweetheart," Alexander said, his face full of concern.

Allison's face turned red from coughing, making Alexander feel heartbroken. After a while, she finally calmed down, tears streaming from her eyes. Alexander carefully wiped them away with a tissue. Hayden looked at Alexander with a stern expression, feeling very reluctant to see such a good girl like Allison end up with Alexander. "Grandpa, why?" Allison said.

Hayden sighed and looked at her. "Allison, do you know why your grandmother left Serenity Manor to you?"

Allison shook her head.

"Your grandmother was from the Bishop family, a prestigious family with hundreds of years of history, but it fell into decline. She wanted you to inherit Serenity Manor to carry on the Bishop family's legacy. Originally, these things were meant for Jasper, but he is not worthy!" Hayden declared.

Having lived for most of his life, Hayden felt deep regret for Jasper, whom he had painstakingly taught but who ultimately went astray.

"If these things fall into his hands, he'll just squander them away. A family's legacy is not only about blood but also about spirit. The Bishop family cannot end with me; otherwise, I would be failing your grandmother. So, anyone who wants to marry you must join the Bishop family, and your firstborn son must carry the Bishop surname," Hayden announced.
