Chapter 474

“If you‘re not satisfied with it, I‘ll gift you the building in the eastern suburb!” Brandon said through gritted teeth. Lily gave it some thought. Although she did not know the significance of that building, nor did she need it, she took it as a bet and played along, nodding as she replied, “Sure!”

Brandon breathed out a sigh of relief after hearing that. He adjusted his seat and asked carefully, “Then... can I have dinner here?”

“Of course! We‘re very welcoming to our guests, and it‘s only right that we invite you to stay for dinner,”

Lily assured him, smiling ever so kindly.

That made Brandon speechless because he seemed to remember that a certain couple had threatened him a while ago. They would have kicked him out of the house if he had not rephrased himself.

She isn‘t an angel! She‘s a devil and a bewitching one at that!

After ensuring he could stay, Brandon returned to his usual lively self, initiating conversations as they ate. “Oh right, we‘ve been talking for so long, but I‘m not sure how to address you yet, beautiful.”

Lily glanced at Alexander and smiled. “You can call me Mrs. Russell.”

Since Alexander and Lily were getting married soon, calling her Mrs. Russell seemed appropriate.

However, that meant she avoided Brandon‘s question indirectly and did not give him her name. He only had one thought in mind now. This woman is a cunning one!‘

He did not give up and continued to ask, “No. I mean, I know that you‘re Mrs. Russell, but... what‘s your name? My name is Brandon Oakley, and I‘m happy to meet you! What‘s your name, Mrs. Russell?”

Anticipation was written all over his face. Lily looked at him, gently smiling as she said, “Mr. Oakley, don‘t you think it‘s inappropriate to ask for my name in front of my husband?”

Smiling, she dropped the question and just stopped talking at once.

Brandon was rendered speechless. ‘What kind of conservative mindset is that? I was just asking for her name!

Initially, he wanted to go on but caught sight of Alexander from his peripheral vision. It made him swallow his words and change the topic of conversation instead. “Then, how did the both of you meet?”

This was something he was truly curious about. He wondered how Lily got in touch with Alexander and even managed to take the man down under his sister‘s tight defense.

‘Things that fate meant to be will be,‘ Brandon thought this quote suited the situation.

Brittany had been trying for so many years. She sent Alexander desserts and gifts from time to time.

She would send him off or pick him up from the airport if she was free. She visited him at the company occasionally, but Alexander still had no feelings for her in the end.

“About that...” Lily looked at Alexander and thought,‘ Which occasion should be considered as the first time we met? Was it when I made a mistake at the competition or the time when I asked him for help a few years later?‘ “We‘re old friends,” Alexander answered the question for her before he looked over at Brandon in feigned annoyance. “Are you done? Get out if you are.”

Speechless, Brandon shook his head. “No! I‘m still eating!”

He quickly stuffed his mouth full as if to prove his words. Thoughts were running through his mind. He felt that Brittany would beat him up as he did not get Lily‘s name or how she met Alexander. ‘No, I must try again.‘

Before he could speak, Edward entered the room in hurried steps. His expression was solemn. “Mr.

Russell.”
