Chapter 221

Olivia was very aware this time. She immediately opened her mouth to refuse, “That‘s not necessary. I can manage!”

Lily was speechless.

It was dark outside the car window, but it was apparent this was not the community‘s entrance.

Opposite her was an alley, which did not look safe to cross.

“Edward, you send her back. Send her right back to her front door,” Alexander took the initiative to order as if he could sense Olivia‘s discomfort. “Go quick and come back right away.”

“Yes, sir,” Edward replied. He stopped the car, undid the seat belt, and left. Olivia was flattered. “No, no, it‘s not necessary.”

Edward had already walked around the car to her door and opened it. “Miss Hart, please.” Things were already at this stage, so there was no point in refusing. Thus she could only bite the bullet and leave the car. “T–Then I‘ll leave first. Lily, you and Mr. Russell have a good rest.”

“Okay.” Lily nodded hier head. After watching Olivia and Edward leave some distance away, she returned to her senses and felt something was wrong.

“Did Olivia say Mr. Russell and I should have a good rest?‘ Lily turned and saw Alexander staring at her with a rather weird expression.

“Surely you‘re not jealous?” Lily said this to test the waters.

True enough, Alexander “hmph” loudly. “Did you just realize that?” Lily was speechless. “No way! Olivia is a girl.” “So what if she‘s a girl? Can‘t I be jealous of a girl? Your concern for her is celebratory and protective at the same time. It‘s my turn, okay?” He spread his arms and headed for her. His tone was full of resentment. At that moment, Lily could not decide if she should laugh or cry because Alexander behaved like a pitiful child. “It‘s not the same!”

“How is it not the same?” Alexander paused. “Unless, deep in your heart, you think she‘s more important than I am?”

Unreasonable men were scary, especially when this particular man was jealous. He was like a kid who was denied his candy. Lily laughed out loud. “Indeed more important.”

Lily‘s arms circled Alexander‘s neck and tugged him down as his expression darkened. She voluntarily planted a kiss on his lips. As she pressed her lips onto his, she said, “But it‘s you who is the most important.”

With that one sentence, the great president was not angry anymore. He put one hand behind Lily‘s head and started kissing her deeply. He wanted her to taste the sourness in his heart.

Edward stopped after walking a few steps. When Olivia had caught up a little, he continued forvard.

They maintained the distance between them, which was not near nor far. Olivia lowered her head. At this distance, she could see the tip of Edward‘s shadow. It was a practical arrangement.

She had to take this path every day after work, which was a little scary. Although nothing had happened to her before since she moved here, it was quiet and secluded. Occasionally, a cat would mess around in the rubbislı bin, frightening her. However, she had company today, so she had no fear.
