The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

After getting back to the cafeteria, Allison plopped down next to Mia, barely lifting her head. Mia noticed and grabbed some food for her, curiosity piqued by Allison's flushed face. "Allison, why's your face so red? You feeling okay?" Mia reached out to touch Allison's forehead, making her even more awkward.

Allison forced a smile. "I'm fine. Had a bit of a fever yesterday, maybe I'm not fully over it yet."

Mia's heart sank, thinking the court case must've made Allison sick. She quickly put her own chicken leg on Allison's plate.

Allison felt touched by Mia's concern, and her mood lightened up a bit.

School days flew by, and graduation was just around the corner. Even weekends were packed for high schoolers. Allison planned to rest up and organize her study notes, but Mia showed up at her house unexpectedly. Allison asked, "Aren't you supposed to be studying at home? What are you doing here?"

"Studying sucks, Allison. Let's go out and have some fun, okay?"

Mia always hated studying, and with all the tutors her family hired, she was about to lose it. So, she came to find Allison for a break.

Mia put on her cutest, most pleading face, and Allison couldn't say no. "Alright, where are we going?"

"The amusement park! There's a new one in the suburbs. It's gotta be fun!"

Mia dragged Allison to change clothes. Allison threw on some casual clothes and, under Mia's insistence, she found a pink T-shirt and paired it with jeans. According to Mia, this outfit would show how close they were, as their styles were matching.

When Allison came out, Mia was stunned. Pink usually looked tacky on most people, but Allison's smooth skin and bright eyes made her look amazing.

Mia couldn't help but gush, "Allison, I don't know which lucky guy will end up with you. You're just too beautiful!"

She snapped a few photos of Allison and posted them on social media with the caption: [Spontaneous adventure time!] Then they headed out, all smiles.

Meanwhile, Alexander was at a private club talking business. Just as he wrapped up, James showed him something on his phone. "Mr. Carter, Ms. Bennett and Ms. Wilson are out and about!"

Alexander took the phone and saw Mia's social media updates, from leaving the house to arriving at the amusement park. Seeing the two lively girls, Alexander couldn't help but think Allison looked better.

Alexander said, "Isn't this amusement park close by?"novelbin

James nodded. "Yeah, it's just three miles away."

Alexander nodded and started walking out. "Let's go."

Go where? James paused, then quickly realized Alexander meant the amusement park. But Alexander never went to such places. Could it be for Mia?

When Alexander and James arrived, the amusement park was packed. Alexander stopped at the entrance.

James stood beside him, noticing his hesitation. "Mr. Carter?"

Alexander narrowed his eyes, then strode into the park. "Let's go!"

Alexander didn't like crowded places and had considered booking the whole park but decided against it. After all, the fun was in the hustle and bustle, and the girls liked such places. So, he compromised. But he and James, both in suits, looked totally out of place.

Allison and Mia were in line for the roller coaster. Mia was buzzing with excitement. "Allison, it's my first time on a roller coaster. I heard it's thrilling. I have to try it!"

Allison looked at Mia, feeling a bit helpless. Knowing Mia's timid nature, she'd probably be scared out of her mind. But life was about facing challenges, so Allison kept quiet and stayed in line.

Seeing Alexander walk towards them, both Allison and Mia were taken aback.

"Uncle Alexander, what are you doing here?" Mia wasn't thrilled; she was shocked. Her strict uncle at an amusement park? Too weird.

"I passed by and saw you here, so I thought I'd check on you." The weather was scorching, and seeing the two girls sweating, Alexander turned to James. "Go buy the tickets. I'll get them something to drink." James nodded and continued to queue for tickets while Alexander led Allison and Mia to a shady spot, then went to a nearby cold drink shop himself.

Mia was in a daze the whole time. "Allison, am I dreaming? My uncle hates crowded places, yet he's at an amusement park. So weird! And he's in a suit, my goodness!"

Hearing Mia's exclamations, Allison just smiled.

But when Alexander handed them lattes, Mia's expression instantly changed. "Hot? Are you out of your mind, drinking hot lattes in the summer?"

"Aren't lattes supposed to be hot?" Alexander asked, his gaze making Mia shrink back immediately.

Allison held the hot latte with a faint smile, knowing it was for her. She had just recovered from a fever and couldn't drink cold beverages.

At that moment, James came over and said the tickets were ready. The four of them headed to the roller coaster.

Mia, of course, wanted to sit with Allison, but just as she got close, Alexander grabbed her by the collar and put her in the front row, then sat in the back with Allison. By the time Mia realized it, James was already sitting next to her.

"Uncle Alexander, I want to sit with Allison!" Mia was a bit angry, but seeing Alexander's stern gaze, she immediately fell silent. James chuckled beside her.

Allison glanced at Alexander beside her and met his gaze. They smiled at each other.

This was Allison's first time at an amusement park. She had always been a well-behaved child. Although her parents didn't pay much attention to her, Hayden personally taught her many things, shaping Allison's quiet and reserved nature. No one knew how much Allison envied those kids who could go to amusement parks with their parents on weekends. It was a wish Allison had never fulfilled in her eighteen years.

Although she wasn't with her parents today, Allison felt unprecedentedly relaxed and happy.

From the moment the roller coaster started, Mia was screaming. At first, it was excited screams, but later it turned into terrified shrieks. When they dropped from a height, Alexander suddenly held Allison's hand.

Allison turned her head and saw Alexander smiling at her. She smiled back.

Among them, only Mia screamed the whole time on the roller coaster. When they got off, Mia's voice was already hoarse, but she was still very excited as she dragged Allison to play various games, determined to stay until sunset. But Alexander stopped her. "After playing for so long, aren't you hungry?"

Hearing his question, Allison indeed felt hungry, let alone Mia. Alexander smiled, "There's a resort nearby. I'll take you there to eat something!"

As they were about to leave, someone in the crowd was watching them.

Yasmin was also at the amusement park with several girls, and they saw Allison and the others. A girl spoke up, "Yasmin, isn't that Allison? Why is she with two men, and Mia too? These two men are dressed so well, could they be..."

Yasmin looked at Alexander's figure. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she was sure this was the man who had driven Allison home. "Mind your business. I advise you not to mess with Allison! Have you heard? Sophia is going to be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. Messing with her is dangerous!"

The girls, all friends of Yasmin, were already hostile towards Allison because of Yasmin.

So after hearing Yasmin's words, they became quite indignant. "Allison is so vicious, ten years! How could she do that?"

"Yasmin, don't be afraid of her. Remember how bad her reputation was five years ago? The Bennett family won't take her back. You're the real jewel of the Bennett family!"
