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.

“Yup! I noticed how detailed the carvings were, including the dolls’ facial expressions. Also, the wood seems rather unusual. I got it from a gift shop I came across today. I thought the smell of wood in that person’s shop was unique and differed from ordinary wood fragrances. I want to try and see if it has any future feasibility.” Lily spoke with great interest but did not notice that Alexander’s focus on the matter differed from hers.

“Yes. It’s indeed perfect!” Alexander held the dolls in each hand and looked at them in detail. Then he turned around and looked at Lily, wlio was still chattering away behind him, “Why didn’t you tell me you had this thought in mind?”

“M-My what?” Lily stammered. She thought Alexander was referring to the extraction of fragrance wood’s essential oil and continued, “That’s right. I only thought of it after 1 discovered this store in the afternoon. Also, this is just an initial thought. I haven’t figured out how to put it into action yet.”

Alexander grabbed Lily by her wrist and pulled her closer as soon as she finished her words, ” It’s elementary to put it into action. You can do it now!”

He bowed and kissed her. Lily stopped him with her hands, “What are you doing?!” “Putting it into action!” He said as though this was meant to happen. “Since you’ve thought of it, we should put it into action. Although we may not conceive two babies at once, we can take it slowly. Regardless, we still need to put effort into this!”
