The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 295 Feeling Sad

Jessa laughed, "Not bad, Victor. Looks like you finally get it! I've heard about Liliana. A lot of what happened to her is on you. You can't keep letting her take the fall for you. A real man doesn't let his woman get hurt!"

Victor stayed quiet. He knew she was right, which is why he had a long talk with Aiden.

At dinner, the whole family was together for once. Allison brought out a small bottle of homemade medicinal wine for Aiden. "I made this myself. It's not very strong, so you can have a little now and then."

Aiden was thrilled. He had a small glass and was completely satisfied. Teddy, on the other hand, kept his distance from the alcohol, remembering the last time he got in trouble for drinking.

After dinner, Allison went upstairs to change clothes. When she came back down, Alexander quickly followed her. "Where are you going?"

Allison replied, "I want to check on Kismet. I'm worried about her."

Alexander didn't say anything. He grabbed a coat and went out with Allison, making sure she was bundled up in a down jacket. "It's cold and snowy. You can't catch a cold."

Allison let Alexander wrap her up and they held hands as they left. Alexander didn't drive; the Carter family had a chauffeur. So, he sat in the backseat with Allison, holding her close. "Xavier's been doing well. He shouldn't be in prison for too long. I got him a good lawyer to try and reduce his sentence. His son-in-law and eldest son have been handling things on the outside, but those two..."

Allison squeezed Alexander's hand and stayed silent the whole way.

Soon they arrived at Serenity Manor. Hunter had taken over the private dining club and run it smoothly. There was no sign of the Ellis family anymore. Allison headed to the backyard. In Kismet's room, the TV was on, but Kismet was staring blankly at the screen. Even though the TV was making noise, her eyes were unfocused.

"Kismet, I'm here!" Allison knelt in front of Kismet. Kismet looked at her and started hitting her on the back with her fists. "Why did you take so long? Why now?"
