The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 274 Hang Out Without Mr. Carter?

Carl's idea was so out there that Allison felt she had to give Alexander a heads-up. But Alexander didn't seem fazed. "The island's in international waters. Just report it, and it'll be fine! Don't worry, I'll handle it!"

Allison couldn't help but admire his confidence.

Alexander said, "After work, I'll pick you up from the rehab center, and we'll grab dinner tonight!"

Alexander was planning a romantic evening, but Allison had other plans. "I already made plans with Sabrina and Teddy. I promised them barbecue!"

Alexander raised an eyebrow. It sounded like she was excluding him. His mood soured instantly.

"You're ditching me to hang out with Teddy? Allison, you're his aunt!" His jealous tone made Allison laugh.

"You're his uncle. You should be treating him to dinner. Or are you not coming?" Allison's words shifted the responsibility, and Alexander's expression softened. He hung up the phone, and Carl stared at Allison. "Not planning to take me?"

Allison sighed. Couldn't these two let the kids have a night out?

Allison asked, "Do you think we could enjoy our meal if you came along?"

Carl retorted, "If Alexander can go, why can't I? Allison, I'm family too!"

Great, a reason Allison couldn't refuse. Of course, he had to come!

So, Allison ended up bringing both Alexander and Carl to the barbecue joint. When they saw the location, Alexander frowned. "A barbecue place next to a funeral home? How did you find this spot?"
