The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 179 Teddy's Blind Date

Allison flopped onto the sofa the second she got into her hotel room, completely wiped out.

Alexander watched her, half worried, half amused. "Why don't we head home? Jessa and Liliana have whipped up a feast, just waiting for you."

Allison thought about it. She'd been gone for two days; it was definitely time to go home.

"Alright, let's go. We should check out anyway; no point in holding up their business," she said.

Alexander chuckled, messing up her hair. "The top floor's not open to the public. It's reserved for the Shaw family and their friends. But Carl's not their friend, so they can charge him a bit."

Allison rolled her eyes at him, clearly annoyed.

Alexander just smiled and took her home.

Once they got there, Allison headed straight for a bath and then crashed, too tired to even notice Alexander putting ointment on her bruises.

When Alexander came downstairs, he saw Teddy had just shown up.

Teddy couldn't resist a dig. "Back from the hotel, Alexander? Two days without coming home, huh..."

Alexander shot him a deadly look.

Teddy, seizing the rare chance to tease Alexander, swaggered over and flopped onto the sofa. "I heard you and your fiancée got a room, but you came back after just two days. Can't keep up, old man?"

Alexander grabbed Teddy by the collar and dragged him into the study, slamming the door behind them. "Let's see if you want to test that theory!"

Teddy's yelps soon echoed from the study.
