Chapter 1294
Lily's feet were only slightly red, and she was not that fragile. Her feet only pushed against her shoes,
probably because of the little weight she had gained or the pregnancy edema. Still, her shoes were
fine, but Alexander picked up on them.
His actions moved Lily, as it was often the intention behind the gift that touched one's heart.
Afterward, she removed her old shoes and put on the new pair. When she wiggled her toes around,
she could feel the shoes were soft and were just the perfect size. It was extremely comfortable.
Seeing how she continued to wear them, Alexander smiled. ' How are they?"
"I love them!" She nodded affirmatively and praised him, "You know how to buy a gift, all right!”
"Really?" He raised his eyebrows. "Is this better than that pot of...what do you call them, agarwood of
yours?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLily was speechless. 'This man! It has been a few days, and he's still upset about that?'
"I like them both equally!" She said after thinking about it.
"You like them both?" It was evident he was dissatisfied with Lily's answers and frowned.
If it were not for the fact that he was driving, Lily would have reached out to try and smooth out his
brows. "All right, all right. These are the best gifts you've given me, and they fit me perfectly. Are you
happy now?”
Alexander's lips curled upward when he heard this, but he still tilted his head slightly. "Why do you
sound so forced?"
"Enough, don't push your luck!" She shot him a look. Then from the corner of her eyes, she noticed
another small gift box in the back seat. Her box of shoes hid it, so she did not see it before.
"There's another gift?"
Alexander glanced back and said, “That's not yours."
"Is it for Galen? I knew I won't be the only one receiving gifts!"
Alexander happened to stop at a red light and turned to look at Lily smilingly. "Are you jealous?"
Of course, he knew she was not jealous of her son, but he still found it cute that she was pouting.
"I didn't buy it," He continued, "It was a gift from Mike."
"Mike?"
When Alexander brought up Mike's name, Lily immediately thought of what had happened today. "By
the way, did you know that after La Beaute Group pulled out from the project and withdrew the capital-"
"Mike invested in the project, didn't he?" At this moment, the light turned green, and Alexander
continued to drive.
"You know about that?!" Lily was surprised. She had just found out about this today, but it seemed like
Alexander had already known beforehand." When did you find out? Did you know about this before?”
"No, he came to see me today." After pondering for a while, he said, "We'll talk about this when we're
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhome."
There were better times to talk about work since they were on the road. After all, Alexander might get
distracted. Lily understood this and nodded before falling into silence. The drive home was quiet, but
Lily could not wait to return.
After all, she had devoted more than half a year to this project. She threw all her painstaking efforts and
energy into this experiment. To be frank, she was reluctant to quit, but there was no way she would
continue after knowing there was a problem.
Now that Mike had jumped on the bandwagon alongside Thompson's constant persuasion, even
Austin's nonsense made her feel she could not withdraw from the project so easily. She knew it was not
the end.
When they reached home, Alexander knew how impatient she was. Still, he could not ignore their
grinning son, who had rushed over. He quickly picked up Galen and turned to look at Lily. "Shall we talk
in the playroom?"
Lily was quiet for a moment, but when she saw Galen's innocent smile, she could only nod. "Sure."
