Chapter 1272
"What? Yes, uh, no, no, he's not! Why are you asking about him?"
They fell into an awkward silence.
Lily would be a fool if she could not figure out what was happening.
She chuckled and hurriedly said, "So sorry for interrupting you guys! Carry on with whatever you're

Lily gasped when she saw Alexander lying on the bed, surprised that he had returned to the bedroom.
"Is it so surprising to see me in the bedroom?" Seeing her reaction, Alexander lowered what he was
holding.
"Yes, I thought you were playing with Galen. You couldn't take it, huh?" She said it half-jokingly as she

had fallen deeply in love with her ever since.
"Lily..." He called her name softly, his nose touching her wet and sweet smelling hair.
"Yes?"
"Don’t you ever get..." He wanted to ask her if she would ever get jealous, but before he could say it,
his nose felt tickled, and he sneezed.
Puzzled, Lily asked, "Don't I ever get what?" "Oh my!" Before he could say anything, she held his head
down. Alexander was puzzled.
