Ch. 381..390

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 381

After Alexander completed his task and started the car, he saw his wife give him a meaningful gaze.He instantly felt subconscious.

"Brittany’s family and mine are family friends.She’s like a sister to me."

When Lily saw how uncomfortable he looked as he tried to explain to her, she could not help but laugh as she asked, "Sister?"

He thought the word "sister" sounded weird.

Coughing lightly, he said, "Sister, of course.I don’t have that kind of relationship with her."

"What kind of relationship?" she asked quickly.

Alexander was stunned.Lily did not want to tease him, but it was the first time she had seen him act this way.She found it fascinating.

The more uncomfortable he was, the more she felt like teasing him.He did not have to explain himself.

Given his status, even if he did not make any moves, all kinds of ladies would throw themselves at him.He was good-looking, after all.It was quite something.

"Lily," Alexander said helplessly.

He sighed and was about to say more, but Lily waved and said, "It’s okay.There’s no need to be so nervous.Who doesn't have a history? I understand.I understand."

How she waved her hand and looked like she did not care frustrated him.

"What history?"

"Just drive.There’s no need to dwell on small things like these."

Lily looked gracious, implying that she was not petty and that he did not have to worry about her.However, her attitude made Alexander unhappy.

"You’re not jealous at all?"

"You just said that she’s like a sister to you.Why would I be jealous?"

She blinked her eyes, looking innocent.

What she said was true, but did she not feel the slightest discomfort? With a nod, Alexander tried to focus on driving.It was as if something was bothering him, and he could not stomach it.

Sitting next to him in the co-driver seat, Lily leaned her head to one side and fell into a fitful sleep.

Lily was honestly not jealous.

Upon hearing that woman’s voice earlier, she had been a little upset, but Alexander had shut it down immediately and nervously tried to explain it.It seemed like it was genuinely nothing.

If there was something and he wanted to divorce her, he could do it as easily as snapping his fingers.

There was no need to hide anything from her.

Lily slept well, unaware that the person beside her was in a bad mood.

When they got to their destination, Lily woke up out of reflex.

Looking out of the car, she realized they were in the hotel's parking lot.She woke up just in time.

"You're good at driving.I didn’t feel anything during the drive,"

Lily generously praised as she lowered her head to undo the safety belt.

Alexander gave no reply.

‘She doesn’t have a heart.It seemed like it didn't bother her at all"

Sighing softly, he did not know whether to praise Lily for being gracious or accuse her of being heartless.

Only after alighting from the car and reaching their room did Lily sense something was wrong.

‘Why does Alexander seem to be in a bad mood, as if he’s upset about something? Was it the phone call earlier?

‘Was it because I was in the car just now? To keep me from misunderstanding, he ruined his relationship with that girl.He said their families were friends, and she was like a sister.Did Alex ruin his relationship with the girl?’ As Lily thought of this, she decided that she should take the initiative to convince him that she was a gracious person and that she did not mind at all.

"There’s no need to ruin your relationship with that girl.She might have something urgent to talk to you about.

Now that you’ve ruined your relationship with her, it will be awkward to see her next, won’t it?"Lily carefully took the Southbank soap out, ready to examine it.

Only after getting familiar with its components would she be able to innovate and create something new.

Alexander looked at her back with his brow raised as he asked in a cold voice, "Do you think I should remove her from my blacklist then?"

"of course, you should!" Lily thought that was the right thing to do and nodded.

While working, she continued, "You said that both your families had been family friends for decades, so it's impossible for you to cut her off just like this, right? If you blocked her, so what? Are you not going to meet her anymore? Are you not going to meet her family anymore? It’s better to talk things out.Blocking her is really..."

"What is it?" His voice became colder.He got up from his seat and was now standing behind her.

"It’s nothing!"

Lily poked the Marseille soap with her finger, feeling its smoothness.Looking at her fingertip, she laughed.

"I just think it’s a little childish."

‘The girl just cried in front of him for a while, and he blacklisted her phone number and blocked her on every possible social media.Could they really not meet forever? That's impossible!’ Lily had lived with the Lodge family for a few years, so she knew how family friends, especially wealthy ones, worked and all the social connections that led to their relationship.Since they had known one another's families for so long, there was much overlap in their professional and personal lives.

Relationships with them could not be severed so lightly based on one's personal feelings.

Moreover, it had nothing to do with any conflict of interest this time.

Brittany just simply threw a tantrum.

That was it.

Lily spoke objectively and told Alexander her opinions on this matter.

However, she did not realize that his expression had turned terrible.

"You're calling me childish?"

Finally, she realized something was off, and the voice sounded close to her.

‘He’s behind me?’ She turned around, and sure enough, he was behind her.

His expression was terrible.

‘Is he...mad??

"Uh, I'm not saying that you’re childish.I just say that the young lady..."

Before she finished her words, he had already pulled her into his embrace and locked lips with her, stopping her from continuing with whatever she was about to say.

At this moment, he did not want to hear anything she said!

"Mmm..."

Lily widened her eyes, not understanding what was happening at the moment.

‘Weren’t we discussing the question seriously earlier? Why is he suddenly kissing me? Okay, fine, he can kiss me if he wants to, but why does he make it seem like I forced this kiss on him? He looks so angry"

Until Alexander released her and allowed her to breathe, she could only guess the reason behind his anger.

"Are you...too embarrassed to talk to her again because you blocked her first?"

‘That’s probably it.He blocked her first, so if he initiated a conversation with her, it would be too embarrassing for him! Why are men like this?’ Alexander did not know what to say.

Just as he was about to punish her for not reading the situation, his phone rang again.This was a video call, and the ringtone had a hint of urgency.

"you unblocked her already?" Lily thought it was Brittany.

‘She’s a stubborn one!’ Alexander frowned because he knew that he had not unblocked her yet.However, it was rare for anyone to video call him, so he moved to get his phone.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 383

Due to curiosity, Lily leaned over and saw ‘Brandon Oakley’ on the screen.She looked at Alexander and saw the impatience in his gaze, but still, he answered the call.

"What is it?"

Brandon was stunned, maybe because Alexander looked too severe or his voice was too hostile.

Initially, he had a lot of things to rant about, but he just widened his eyes and could not say anything now.

"Pfft!"

Lily could not suppress it anymore and let out a chuckle.She could see the face of the man on Alexander’s screen and found him funny.

The thing was that Brandon called at the wrong time.

Alexander was obviously in a foul mood, so when Brandon requested a video call with him, Lily pitied him.

"You have a woman with you there?"

Brandon had a sharp hearing and could capture Lily’s voice, although it was soft.

At that moment, his voice seemed to have returned to him as he spoke with the emotion he initially had, rebuking Alexander fiercely, "Alex, there’s a woman by your side now! Tanny was right! A vixen seduced you!"

Lily was speechless, while Brandon’s words made Alexander even more riled up as he asked solemnly, "What did you say?"

"Cough! Cough!"

Once again, Alexander managed to scare him, making him keep his mouth shut.

However, Brandon felt that he was being too timid.

‘I am here to avenge my sister! How can I be scared of him?’ Gathering his courage, Brandon braced himself and said again in a righteous tone, "Am I wrong? I dare you to show me your room now! Also, why did you go to Westwood all of a sudden?"

Lily narrowed her eyes.

‘We're legally married, okay?’ From the few words exchanged and the name she saw on Alexander’s screen, she could tell that Brandon was probably related to Brittany.

‘Could he be her brother, and he is here to speak for her?’ "Brandon Oakley..."

Alexander called out Brandon’s name slowly.

His expression was similar to that of earlier, but his gaze became even colder if possible, sending goosebumps up Brandon’s spine immediately.

Brandon shrank into his seat subconsciously.

"What?"

"Do you want to die?"

Both Brandon and Lily were rendered speechless.

After two seconds of silence, Brandon whined, "Dude! You can’t blame me for doing this! You blocked Tanny everywhere.She couldn’t find you, so she came to me, crying at my place.I’m getting tired of it.You understand me, right?"

"She’s your sister."

‘Wow.He sounds like he has no humanity and was not concerned at all"

"You don’t have humanity!" Brandon complained.

‘We sure think alike" Lily thought again.

"One’s humanity only applies to humans," Alexander said casually.

"What do you mean?"

Brandon was confused.

‘His humanity is only for humans, but he has none for you.That means he’s saying you’re not a human.Tsk, I can’t believe he said all that just to insult his friend.These days, I’ve been learning more about how mean he could be, and I’m only grateful that he had never said such things to me before.I would've run away long ago if he did"

"It's nothing.Do you have anything else to say? I’m hanging up if you don’t,"

Alexander said, preparing to end the call.

"I do! What should we do about Tanny? We can’t just let her keep crying, can we? Also, are you going to block her forever?"

Brandon believed that Alexander would not cut off all ties with Brittany forever.

At most, he was just tired and wanted some peace for himself.

Brandon understood that Brittany was too spoiled, so letting her learn a lesson was good, but he did not like how he had to be the one she pestered.

"We'll see about that soon," Alexander replied faintly.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 384

"Sure, but..."

Before Brandon finished his words, Alexander called his name again, "Brandon..."

"_.What?"

Brandon asked as he thought, ‘Why does he need to call me with that tone? It gives me the chills"

"Don’t video call me next time."

"W-Why?"

Subconsciously, Brandon knew that nothing good would come from Alexander, but he could not control his urge to ask.

"Ugly."

Then, Alexander ended the call.

Brandon was speechless, while Lily was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

‘Is it okay for him to insult his friend this way? He’s so mean, so I bet he made many enemies for himself out there.Whatever.He’s not scared of them anyway"

Watching the video calls Alexander had been on felt like watching a comedy to Lily.

The thing was that she had to suppress her laughter.She could not help it earlier and made a soft sound, but Brandon had caught it.

Suddenly, she remembered that Brandon called her a vixen who seduced Alexander and made a mental note to get back at him in the future!

"Why are you so happy?"

Alexander threw her a sideways glance.She was now lying on the couch, laughing her heart out, but she tried to hide it by covering her face with the throw pillow.

However, Alexander could tell she was laughing because of her trembling shoulders.

"I'm fine."

Lily sat up straight but still could not hold her laughter in.

"I just think that it’s a tough job being your family friend!"

Alexander was so blunt even when he was good friends with Brandon, so Lily could only imagine how hurtful his words would be for his regular friends.She suddenly realized that he was not someone she wanted to mess with.

"Is it tough?"

Alexander bent down and supported himself with his two palms pressing down on the couch, trapping her between his body and the couch.

"It’s alright.You don’t need to be my family friend.You just need to be my family!"

Lily was puzzled by the sudden pick-up line.

Where did he mean self go?

"Well..."

"Let’s talk about Brittany.Are you really not jealous of her?" Alexander asked while staring into her eyes.

Lily was speechless and thought, ‘Why are we still on this topic? Isn’t he supposed to be happy about how much I trust him and that I’m not jealous? His expression doesn’t look right, though"

After thinking for a moment, Lily probed, "Should I...be jealous?"

Alexander’s expression became worse right away, and he said unhappily.

"What do you mean by that? You should ask yourself if you should feel that way."

Lily was confused.

‘Man! I asked you because I wasn’t sure.You’re hard to guess, so how could I know what kind of answer you want to hear?’ Licking her bottom lip, she then said with caution, "Oh! Then I’m jealous! You better tell me everything about your relationship with her.Wait, no, tell me everything about all the girls in your life before this! Not only that, you need to promise me that you won’t have any other close friend who is a girl in the future or whatever family friend.Do you hear me?"

Alexander’s tense expression finally loosened a little after seeing her serious and jealous look.

However, she asked again before he could coax her, "Was that right?"

Alexander was rendered speechless once again.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 385

It was Lily’s first time making Alexander angry, and he continued to fume the entire night and said no words to her.

Although he did not lash out at her nor did anything to show his anger, she could feel that he was upset.

‘Is he mad because he thinks I’m jealous or because I'm not?’ Lily had little experience in relationships.

When she was still dating Nathaniel, she had never once felt jealous.

After all, Lily focused on working for their future and regarded Melanie as their mutual friend.She never thought that anything would happen between Nathaniel and Melanie.

When she found out about Nathaniel’s affair, she felt betrayed, used, and lied to.It made her mad and upset.

In retrospect, she was angrier than she was upset.

As for jealousy, she felt none of that.She wondered if Alexander wanted her to be jealous or the other way around.

However, he said nothing was happening between him and Brittany, so Lily felt no reason to be jealous.

Before she could find an answer to her questions, she got a call from Lisa.

"Lilsy, have you gone back already?"

"Not yet.My flight’s tomorrow."

Lily had just finished washing up.

When she got out of the bathroom, she saw that Alexander was asleep.

Hence, she put on her clothes and went to the living room to answer the call.

"That's great! Do you have time for a meal with me today?"

Then, Lisa continued apologetically, "You got kidnapped because of me, and I’ve been feeling guilty.I wanted to apologize to you, but I haven’t had the chance to do so.You have to give me a chance to do this."

Lily comforted her, "It had nothing to do with you.The kidnappers pretended to be your subordinates, and you had no hand in it.Don’t feel guilty, all right? As for a meal..."

Subconsciously, she looked in the direction of the room, wondering if Alexander had any plans for them.

"You have to eat with me! If you’re not free for lunch, we can have dinner.I’ll be waiting!"

Lisa said and added when she remembered something, "Oh right! Mr.Corden will be coming too!"

"Mr.Corden? You know Mr.Corden too?"

The person that came into Lily’s mind was the man who sold the Marseille soap.She was surprised that Lisa knew him too.

Lisa was stunned by her question.

"What do you mean? We met him together at the hospital, so, of course, I know him! Also, if we are clear, you knew him through me.You saved his son, and now he wants to thank you, so you have to come today."

Upon hearing that, Lily finally remembered the man she had met at the hospital.

As they had only met once, Lily had forgotten his name.

"You don't..."

Lily wanted to say they did not need to go through all that trouble, but Lisa had already hung up and did not give her a chance to reject.

"Do you have plans?"

A voice came from behind Lily, surprising and making her snap her head around abruptly.

The sight of a highly charming man entered her sight.

Alexander was leaning on the doorframe as his gaze swept over her lazily.

A look from him could steal anyone’s heart away.

Lily was stunned for a moment.

Although it was not her first time seeing his naked body, and they slept on the same bed, she could not resist the temptation of his beauty.

"when is it?" He asked, straightening his back as he walked over to her.

Lily returned to her senses and patted her cheeks, trying to clear her head.

"I thought you weren’t talking to me!"

Alexander hugged her and asked, "Why wouldn’t I talk to you?"

Lily rolled her eyes, speechless.

"Yeah.Why wouldn’t you?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 386

‘God knows!’

The way she rolled her eyes was so adorable to Alexander that he smiled.

The joy spread from his eyes to every corner of his face, delightful like the spring breeze.

"All right, let bygones be bygones.Let's not talk about that anymore."

Then, he raised his hand to caress the top of her head and asked, ''Who called?"

With a pout, she patted down her hair and thought to herself in confusion, 'Let bygones be bygones? He’s the one who was angry yesterday.Yet today, he seems like a completely different person"

However, seeing that Alexander was back to his usual self, Lily could no longer be bothered.

"Lisa called.She invited me to dinner today and said I would go.So, do you have any plans today? If you don't, then I'll go see her."

"Nope.You can go."

He smiled.

Alexander had two other clients he had to meet.

Although it did not matter, he wanted to settle any business-related things in one sitting since they were already in Westwood.

"By the way, I heard you mentioned Mr.Corden?"

Upon hearing this, Lily instantly laughed.

"Did you think that it was the same Mr.Corden from yesterday? That was my first thought, too, when Lisa mentioned that name, but no, it's just a coincidence that they both have the same surname.This Mr.Corden is the father of a little boy I rescued.He wishes to thank me personally.Don't you think how coincidental this is? The few Hyderland people I've met here all have the same surname.Could it be that their entire ancestry line relocated here?"

Although Lily just made a casual guess, it piqued Alexander’s interest.

'Is the surname "Corden"

just famous among Hyderland people who live in Westwood? Could it be that this is all just a coincidence and that I’m just being overly sensitive?’

"when did you save someone's son?" he asked.

He was more interested in what his wife was capable of than someone's last name.

They had only been apart for a few days, yet it seemed like she had been through so much.

"It was just a coincidence.The other day, I was at a restaurant, and the child had a food allergy.I knew a little about what to do, so I saved him.I didn't overthink about it back then," she explained nonchalantly.

Hearing this, he lowered his head and kissed her head.

"You're amazing! What can you not do?"

"You should be asking what I can do instead!"

She giggled as she lowered her head to avoid his touch.

"Okay, I have to confirm with Lisa and get changed."

When she got to the bedroom, she whipped around and said, "I won't be bringing you with me today!"

Hearing this, Alexander clutched his heart in one hand and cried, "Your words hurt my heart!"

This made Lily laugh even louder.

Lily and Lisa planned to meet up at noon.

The Mr.Corden guy said he was a busy man.

However, he had good faith.He offered to meet up with them either for lunch or dinner.

Even so, he mentioned that lunch would be the best option as he had a client to meet in the evening.

'Tsk, tsk Businessmen are experts at time management, just like Alexander.This is supposed to be a special visit, but he managed to squeeze in some work throughout his time here.He even has work today!' Lily thought to herself.

To be honest, Lily did not enjoy these kinds of social interactions.

She would rather spend her time in front of flowers and herbs for her perfume.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 387

Once Lily arrived at the agreed-upon location, she discovered that it was a relatively high-end clubhouse that was carefully maintained.

Once she mentioned her name, someone led her upstairs.

Although it was not a private room, the entire second floor was empty.

The restaurant was surrounded by glass windows, giving the restaurant a unique and romantic look.

People were playing the violins.

Melodious music filled her ears, making her feel very relaxed.

"Lilsy!"' Lisa called out, waving in Lily’s direction.

Even if Lisa had not called out, Lily would have spotted her.

After all, other than the waiter, Lisa was the only one on the whole floor.

"Lisa!"

Lily greeted her and walked over to hug Lisa.

When the two let go, Lisa explained smilingly, "Mr.Corden has something to attend to and will run a little late.He asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

"It's fine," Lily said with a smile.

"Honestly, there's no need for him to do all this.He already thanked me for the other day."

"It's not about that.This is something he should do."

Lisa shook her head.

"You don't know Mike Corden's position among the Hyderland people.You saved his son.If he didn't thank you personally, it would look bad on him when word gets out."

Lily kept quiet.

Reputation was such a complicated thing.

"By the way, is the child all right?" Lily asked.

Although he should be fine, she still wanted to ask for her peace of mind.

Lisa nodded.

"It's all thanks to you.I was panicking at that time.I had no clue what was happening to Nick.I was nearly scared to death.Thank god you were there.If something happened to Nick, Mike would hate me."

"What does it have to do with you?"

Lily took a sip of lemonade and asked in confusion.

"Was it you that ordered the food he was allergic to?"

However, Lisa shook her head.

"No.Helen ordered those."

"You mean the child's mother?"

When Lily thought back to the woman from that day, she guessed that Helen and Mike had a fraught relationship.But seeing that it was a family matter, she did not pry.

"Yeah." Lisa sighed.

Seeing that they had nothing to do, Lisa began to gossip.

"Helen wanted to use the child to try and fix their relationship.I understand where she's coming from.I, too, thought it would be a good thing if it worked, but it seems I was wrong.Speaking of this, I'd like to apologize on behalf of Helen for what she said to you."

Lily did not take it to heart.

After all, it was all in the past.

"It has nothing to do with you.I can see where she's coming from.Something almost happened to her son because of her negligence.If she didn't find someone to blame, her plan to fix the relationship would be even more difficult.Plus, even though it was wrong for her to do that, she was just concerned about her child."

Lily shrugged.

Although she could understand why Helen did what she did, she could not bring herself to forgive Helen.

To Lily, it was immoral of Helen to blame an innocent bystander just because she feared her husband's fury.

"No, you don't understand.She doesn't care about the child at all.All she cares about is herself.I now see her for who she truly is."

“ Huh?"

Lisa looked indignant as she explained, "If she really cared about the child, she would know his allergies.When something happened to Nick, the first thing she cared about was not what was happening but whether Mike would hate her because of it.She knows she would lose her only chance to get close to Mike without Nick.Nick has no place in her heart."

Lisa had utterly seen through Helen after the incident the other day.

The sympathy Lisa had for Helen no longer existed, and she had even cut ties with Helen.

"Maybe it just slipped her mind at that moment, or she just doesn't understand how her son is.From what I see, she and Mr.Corden don’t have a good relationship.They might even be divorced?"

Lily initially did not want to pry, but the conversation had already reached this point.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 388

However, Lisa shook her head as the corners of her lips curled up."They didn't even get married.How could they be divorced?"

"Ah..." Lily exclaimed.

The first thing that came into her mind was how open-minded the people abroad were.How could a couple not get married and have a child that age?

"Actually, Nick was all part of Helen's plan," Lisa mumbled and sighed.

Then, she looked out the window as if reminiscing.She knew all this because she used to regard Helen as her friend back then and even had a little sympathy for her.

"Plan? Is that not his child?"

"No, it is his! Helen had always liked Mike.She was madly in love with him and swore that she would marry him.However, Mike didn't bat an eyelid at her.Later, she pulled some tricks out of her sleeves and got herself pregnant with his child.In her mind, Mike would marry her after finding out she was bearing his child.She did not expect that he did not even want this child at all, but Helen refused to abort it and insisted on the baby being born.

"Then, bringing the child with her, she went to beg Mike.As a result, Mike took Nick in, gave her a sum of money, and still refused to marry her.A few years later, Nick has also grown up.Helen said she wants to be there for him to establish a mother-son relationship while trying to get close to Mike."

Then, Lisa paused and gulped down half a glass of water.She was thirsty after saying all that.

"Lilsy, I used to think it must be hard for her to love someone so deeply and not have it be reciprocated.That’s why I wanted to help her.It's a good thing if they get together, after all.Children need a proper family to grow up in.However, I didn't expect her to have such a character.After that day in the hospital, I think I understand why Mike refused to be with her, even after so many years."

Lily stayed silent this whole time, not knowing what to say.She was here for dinner, yet managed to learn all these dramas.

However, upon hearing this, she could understand why Helen did not know anything about Nick's condition.

Not only did Helen not raise him, but he was not even on her mind.She was just using him to tie a man down who never loved her.

‘ This is too much! She is really something else!’ Then, the two women continued chatting.Their surroundings were quiet, and not even a soul could be seen.However, this restaurant was not in a remote place.Although it was not right in the city center, it was still in a downtown area.

Lily looked at the dense crowd below and asked, "Is it not dinner time yet? Or...is the business here bad? Why is there no one else but us?"

This made Lisa laugh.

"How can Mike invite you to a place with bad business for dinner? The business here is good.It's just that...this whole place is booked out today!"

"Booked out?"

"Yes, all as a way to show his gratitude to you! You should know how powerful he is now, shouldn't you?

"That's...bit too much!"

Lily thought they were just going to have dinner.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Did Mike have to book the whole place?

"This is nothing for Mike.It's just his loose change!"

After a pause, Lisa added, "What's more, you're his son's savior!"

"That's right."

When she finished talking, another voice answered.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 389

Mike overheard their conversation when he came up and interjected.

"Mr. Corden."

Lily stood up and nodded her head when she saw him.Then, he gestured for them to sit while he held a little boy with his other hand.

"Hello, everyone," Nick greeted politely.His voice was crisp and very pleasant to the ear.

"Hello, Nick," Lisa replied with a smile.She was pretty familiar with him.

Lily also joined in with a nod.

"Hello."

The little boy was holding a well-packaged box in his hand.

After letting go of his father's hand, he walked straight up to Lily and handed the box over to her.

"Ms.Christian, my father said you saved me.I can't repay you for saving my life, but here is a small gift as my token of appreciation.I hope you like it."

Although he was still young, he was very articulate with his words.If Mike had given the gift, Lily might have rejected it, but since a child gave it, she did not expect it to be expensive, and the box was not very big either.

She could not bear to reject this little boy and took it from him, saying, "Thank you!"

When Nick saw that she had taken the gift, he quickly returned to his father's side, like a well-behaved child.Lily had a great impression of the child.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмIt was distressing to think that he had such allergies.

Once the few people were seated, Mike said, "Have you ordered food yet?"

"We wouldn’t dare to eat without you, would we?"

Lisa retorted, half-jokingly.With a smile, he replied, 'You should’ve ordered first.I was late.I'm sorry about that."

Then, without even looking at the menu, he called the waiter and ordered a few dishes skillfully before turning to Lily and asking, "

Is there anything you don't like? Otherwise, do you have any favorites? I was worried that you might not be used to the food here, so there are a lot of choices."

"I'm not picky with my food," Lily answered.

She was not too picky when eating outside, not to mention that she didn't come out for food, nor was she friends with him.

"Is fries okay?"

Mike's tone softened as he looked down and asked Nick Nick nodded.

"Can you get some ketchup on the side?"

In an instant, Mike's eyebrow slightly furrowed, and he did not reply.Nick looked nervous, but eventually, he saw Mike nod and say, "Okay."

Only then did Nick relax.

Lily noticed the subtle changes in the child's expression and remembered what Lisa had said about his life experience.

At this moment, Lily felt even more distressed when she recalled how the child was not born out of love but as a tool to try and get someone's love.

"Actually, there should be no problem if you avoid the allergens," she intervened.

Mike looked up at her and responded lightly, "We are unsure of what his allergens are, though."

This surprised Lily.

"What do you mean you're unsure?"

Be it dairy, nuts, seafood, or pollen.There were always allergens.

Once the allergens were avoided, the individual should be fine.Yet, now, Mike was saying that he was not sure what were Nick's allergens.

Could it be that Mike was not well-versed in his child's well-being? Once Mike was done ordering the meal, he poured a glass of warm water for Nick and said, "Nick's physical condition is quite different from most.The first allergic reaction he had was when he was two years old.At that time, he was allergic to goat's milk.That's why I thought he'd be fine if we avoided goat's milk.Later, he had an allergic reaction to bread, and then it was peanuts.He was fine with some of this food, yet he seems to have grown allergic to them.That's why I can't tell what his allergens are."

Lily did not look like she was talking nonsense.

Looking at the little guy's complexion, he was fair and cute.However, the fairness of his skin was weak and unhealthy, which made people feel bad for him.

"How did this..."

"It might be hereditary, but it’s not certain.The world is so big, and there are always some incurable diseases, which is not unusual, "

When he said that, he seemed restrained and calm.He did not sigh as if it were just a common disease.

Seeing Lily staring at him, she may feel that her eyes were full of pity.She even took the initiative to say, "Miss, I'm not uncomfortable.I'm used to it.It doesn't matter."

The more she did, the more uncomfortable she felt.

After all, he was just a child.She was so young and yet so sensible.She even comforted Lily.

What a good child.

"There's no cure? Like you said, the world is so big.There may be a possibility of a cure."

Mike shook his head, "I have seen many doctors, but this ailment is quite special, and allergies should be a genetic defect.It’s difficult to cure."

With just a few words, it showed that he was actually aware.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмThe condition was indeed challenging to cure.

"Well, Nick is still young, and technology and medicine are improving.We may be able to cure it someday! Besides, his condition is stable right now.Even though there’s a strict diet, we can still eat other delicious food, right?" Lisa said jokingly to the little kid, probably wanting to ease the atmosphere.

Nick smiled shyly and said nothing.

"Yes, it will be a long time to come,"' Mike probably felt that he had been entangled in the issue for too long, so he changed the subject, "By the way, I have heard about your victory in the perfume-tasting competition.I haven't congratulated you yet!"

Saying that, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Lily raised her glass while Lisa, beside her, was busy holding up her glass, "Me, me! Me too! Lily, you are amazing! My dad is full of praise for you when you go back, you know.He rarely praises people!"

Lily smiled slightly, "Thank you!"

"Don't just say thank you.Why'd you rejected my dad's invitation? If you agreed, you could stay here, and we could meet often!"

Lisa also knew this and said regretfully, "Could it be? Is it bad to stay here and develop instead?"

Lisa's words aroused Mike's interest, "Yeah.As far as I know, the perfume industry in Westwood is the most prosperous place in the world.If you stay, there should be greater development and more opportunity, so why not?"

Someone had asked her that question more than once.

Lily smiled lightly, "It's excellent here, but I want to go back and develop."

"Lily is still a patriot," Mike said meaningfully.

"It's not being patriotic.It’s more of reminiscing."

It was about home, friends, and loved ones.Those were the ties about not wanting to leave and being reluctant to leave.
