Chapter 267
“I need to use the washroom.” Lily wanted to use this as an excuse to escape, but Alexander would not let her go so quickly. He tightened his arms and hugged lier tightly, “No, repeat the first thing you said. Then you can go.” “I really need to use the washroom!” It was a slip of the mouth earlier. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud again.
“You should hurry up and say it if you really need to go. It’s just a matter of one sentence anyway.” Alexander approached Lily until their noses touched. He was staring into her eyes. He said in a loving and charming tone, “Repeat it, my love.” “I-L…” Lily blushed harder, and her lieart was thumping so fast that she could not take it anymore. She pushed him further away as she sat up straight and put hier hands on her hips, “I said, my husband! Is there anything wrong with that?!” She might have sounded threatening, but she was very nervous. Her face blushed so red that it was like the evening dusk.
“No, it’s nothing. I’m also proud that you have such a husband.” Alexander grinned happily and nodded in agreement.
Lily kept her silence. She stepped on the floor and said, “I’m going to the washroom!” She took several steps before coming to a halt, “Oh, right!”
“Yes?”
“Do you know Frank?” Lily thought Alexander might have known him as he had a vast network of contacts and knew many people.
“No, I don’t. I have never heard of a Frank. Why? Who is this person?” Alexander shook his head after some thought. Lily had not expected Alexander not to know him. “It’s nothing. I’m just asking casually. He is also a perfumer. I didn’t expect you to know him since you’re not from our circle.”
Alexander pondered further on her words as he watched her go to the bathroom. He felt that something was out of place. He wondered what Lily meant when she said he was not from their circle. It made him feel excluded.
He glanced around and saw two new wood-carved dolls that were never around before. The dolls were smiling lappily and looked pleasing to the eyes. He got up and picked one of them up. He could smell a saint fragrance of wood from it.
Lily saw him holding her spoils of war when she got out of the washroom and said proudly,” Do you like it? I have good taste, don’t I?”
“It’s quite good. A boy and a girl.” Alexander nodded and said seriously.
