stared at Lily, smirking as he raised a brow.
Lily was done with him. He talked about all that just to dive back into the unfinished conversation they
had on their phones.
“There‘s no need for that. Mr. Russell, i‘m satisfied with your skills and performance.” Lily gracefully
turned down Alexander. She would not let him have his way. Her compliments did not make him happy
as he glanced faintly over at her. “That‘s not what you said before.” “Really? My mind must‘ve been in a
mess out there. I don‘t even remember what I said.” Lily shrugged, feigning ignorance. “You mean you
want me to refresh your memory? Is that right?” Alexander placed his cup down and walked over to
her. She wanted to flee as he drew nearer to her, but he caught her wrist and made her sit back down
on the stool.
“Alex...” she called his name softly, placing her hands on his chest. Just a moment ago, she had been
feisty, but now, she was like a tame cat.
“Don‘t be afraid!” Alexander suddenly became serious and said gently, “Although we moved a step
forward in our relationship, there‘s something I want to tell you. I won‘t force you to do anything you
don‘t want to. Do you understand?“.
Lily was fooling around with him before, so she was not expecting him to tell her that suddenly. While
looking at his face and into his sincere eyes, her heart melted into a puddle.
She lifted her arm, caressed his cheek softly, and said gently, “Alex, I was willing to do it with
you.”
Alexander held her hand and left a kiss on the back of it. “I know.”
He was sure about Lily‘s thoughts, which was why he continued. He would have stopped if she was not Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
willing to take their relationship a step forward with him. Hence, he believed he was a lucky man. The
woman who was most precious to him loved him back.
Lily wrapped her arms around his waist to hug him and snuggled into his embrace. She believed she
was one lucky woman as well. Initially, she wanted nothing else but to strike a deal with him.
However, the arrangement they made turned out to be even better than she could have hoped for.
Melanie was in terrible condition. Her face was turning paler by the minute, while her lips were so dry
that they cracked.
Nathaniel was worried sick about her. “Mel, let me take you to the hospital,” Leaning sideways on the
bedframe, she shook her head. “It‘s fine. I‘m just exhausted. All I need to do is get some rest.”
She closed her eyes, but Frank‘s face filled her mind, and it scared her sh*tless once again. She had
not expected Frank being daring enough to follow her into the restroom earlier since they were in a
public area. Thankfully, after they kissed for a while and he said a few things, he departed. Even if that
was all he did, she was still shocked.
It would be awful for her reputation if anyone saw them, even someone other than Nathaniel. It was
time she did something!
