Kevin rubbed his forehead, feeling it might be a bad move.
In the end, he decided to let it go for the time being.
After all, the announcement of their relationship was to protect Ally. But if it would hurt her feelings, he would rather not make it public. Anyway, after they got together for longer, she would believe that he really liked her and he already accepted her status and her family background.
Kevin wasn't worried, because his grandparents would surely like Ally. As for his parents, he was prepared to convince them.
Thinking of that, he said, "Fine, sit here for a while. Feel free to ask the waiters for whatever you need. I'll be back in a minute."
Ally nodded with a smile.
After Kevin left, Ally sat on the bench alone. The night breeze was cool, blowing on her body, which was very comfortable and cozy.
"Ally?" A surprised voice suddenly sounded at her back.
Ally looked back and saw Linda wearing a bright yellow dress, standing in front of a flowering tree looking at her in surprise.
Ally was also taIsaac aback. "Linda?" She stood up from the bench.
"Oh, it's really you! I thought I might be wrong."
Linda walked over and sized Ally up. By a glance, she could see that the long dress on her was the masterpiece of the famous stylist Chris. Noticing the delicate makeup and expensive jewelry on Ally tonight, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
Outsiders might not know the relationship between Chris and Kevin, but as G. K's senior perfumer, she had heard of it. She heard that Chris was born in a wealthy family, but he opened his own club because he liked fashion and was eager to do something on his own.
Chris and Kevin, as well as Max from the Nixon family, grew up together since childhood. They were like close brothers. If Kevin told Chris to help Ally with her looks, it meant Ally was really different in his heart.
To Linda's surprise, Ally had become so much smarter after she traveled abroad. She now became Kevin's woman!
Linda believed Ally must be kept by Kevin as a mistress. Although she disdained that, she didn't show it on her face.
After a vague smile, she pulled Ally to sit down on the bench and said, "Ally, didn't you go abroad? Why are you back?"
Ally didn't want to tell her that her father asked her to come back to attend the wedding, so she gave her a perfunctory answer, "I didn't like the life abroad, so I came home."
"Right, you've never lived in a foreign country before. It's not easy to get used to it."
There was a smile on Linda's face, but she said everything with a superior tone.
Ally understood her pride, so she smiled and said nothing.
Although they were cousins, Linda's father had left home very young and established a fashion company, the Taikoo Group, from scratch. So Linda's family was much richer than Ally's. They seldom visited each other and Linda went to study abroad when she was only five. She didn't come home until last year, so they actually rarely know each other.
Linda suddenly sighed, "Speaking of that, if it hadn't been for what has happened two years ago, you wouldn't have had to go abroad."
Hearing that, Ally looked upset and slightly lowered her head.
What had happened two years ago had put a huge stain on her reputation and she could never get rid of it throughout her life.
Even though she kept telling herself not to think or care about it, she still couldn't help but feel sad when she returned to Eqitin and heard people's unkind remarks about her.
That was the reason why she was so anxious tonight.
Even a taxi driver didn't forget the news of two years ago and could recognize her. What if Kevin's family recognized her too?
Ally honestly had no idea how to explain it then. She didn't dare to think how Kevin would think of her.
Looking at the changing expressions on her face, Linda asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Ally nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."
