Chapter 746

Upon hearing him saying, "take things slowly,"

Lily exclaimed in reflex.

"No! I can’t take things slowly."

Stunned by her overaction, Alexander grew suspicious.

"What’s the matter?"

"N-Nothing."

Lily shook her head and dared not tell him about her pregnancy as she had not decided what to do.

"Maybe I’m just feeling lost after resigning.I thought there was nothing to miss about the job, but my time at Rebirth was the happiest I’ve ever been since I started working."

She meant what she said.

All her colleagues at Rebirth treated her well.

Even though Jenny initially made things difficult for her, the two became good friends after Lily proved herself.

The truth was that after leaving the no-good Nathaniel, she had discovered a whole new world and realized she should have left him much earlier.

"That's it?"

Lily was earnest, but Alexander was still somewhat suspicious, as her reaction just now was a bit odd.

"That’s it."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and emphasized every word.

She continued, "Also, it all happened because of you.Every time I look back and think about it, I’m always grateful that I looked for your help in my toughest moments.I’m also grateful that you were always willing to help me.Although I have no idea why you helped me then, you’re...my savior!"

Lily gazed sincerely at her husband.She finally said what she had always thought.

Still, she never expected to say those things out loud under this circumstance.

"You have no idea why I helped you?"

Alexander held her face with one hand and caressed her soft hair with his other.

"It’s because I’ve always liked you since long ago."

"B*shit!"

Lily snorted, not believing him.

‘A long time ago? We didn’t even know each other back then, and he might have only seen me once at the Best Newcomer Competition.It couldn’t be love at first sight, could it?’

"It’s the truth.You don’t buy it?"

Alexander squeezed her face gently to emphasize that he was not joking.

Lily blinked and asked, "When was it? Don’t tell me it was when I first joined the Best Newcomer Competition and that it was love at first sight for you.I’ll make fun of you if it is, got it?"

Lily did not know much during that time, as it was her first time participating in a competition.

Even though she won the award, she made a fool of herself in the later competition.

As the CEO of La Beauté Group, Alexander must have seen all types of outstanding people, and it was unlikely Lily would capture his attention.

"It wasn’t then."

Alexander shook his head and continued, "It was earlier than that."

"Earlier?"

Lily was surprised as she had no recollection of them meeting before that.

"When was it? I don’t remember.All I remember is that I first met you at the..."

"At the Russel family’s house,"

Alexander paused before adding, "More specifically, it was my family’s old house."

"y-Your family's old house? I wonder when I’ve been there before."

Lily was even more surprised, feeling as if someone or something had taken part of her memories away.

"You were probably too young, so you might not remember.Still, what matters is that I remember you."

Alexander pressed his forehead against hers and did not care if Lily did not remember it.

It was enough that he had not lost her, and they were still together.

"No, I was already nine and was still with the Lodge family.It’s unlikely I can’t remember stuff from back then.Could it be earlier than that?"

Lily was so surprised by it that she needed a clear answer.
