Chapter 1274
Suppressing her laughter, Lily wiped tears off the corners of her eyes. "You see, due to the nature of
our work, Olivia and I have been exposed to all kinds of plants, and we're no strangers to bugs. How
could we not tell a mosquito bump from a hickey?"
"Then why did she..." He frowned. "She did it on purpose!"
Nodding, Lily said, "I remember Olivia complaining to me last month about some girl who kept tagging
after Edward. I'm not sure if she was being sensitive or what, but Olivia was upset. I guess she's just
trying to use the mosquito bump as an excuse to vent her anger."
Alexander finally realized what it was all about. He and Edward thought wrongly that a mosquito bite
could make a woman jealous.
"But..." Even so, he had a question. He watched as she applied the facial mask to the dresser with her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtback facing him. "How come you’ve never gotten jealous?"
"Why should I?" Lily posed a follow-up questionwhile lifting her face to make the facial mask sit well.
Alexander thought about it. 'I've had many suitors, and Brittany was crazy for me at one point.
However, Lily has seemingly never gotten jealous of me.'
"Don't you worry that--
She interrupted. "Nope!"
Turning around, Lily only showed her eyes and mouth with the facial mask still on, but her gaze was
unyielding.
"Although we haven't been together for a long time, unlike those who have spent eight to ten years
together, you've given me a sense of security!
Every day when you wake up, you'd kiss and hug me whenever you left home. No matter what
happened, you'd tell me about it and protect me first when there was danger.
"Why should I get suspicious of someone like you? What's there to worry about? Alex, I used to be
someone without a sense of security. But after meeting you, I've never felt safer!"
Lily spoke calmly, and when she was done, she looked ridiculous as she fought to keep the mask from
falling off her face, still, Alexander was overcome with emotion.
Suddenly, he felt that he had been utterly stupid and childish today.
'Why must she get jealous to prove that she cares about me? She trusts me, and that's why she has
never been jealous.'
"Lily...” Calling her name softly, Alexander walked over and gently pulled her into his arms. "I love you!"
"You're making my facial mask fall off!" At such a sentimental moment, she reached out her hand to
push him off instead.
Alexander was taken aback.
'Well, this is the woman I love!’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAside from the two floors of labs, the elevator to the top floor required an access card. Lily had only
gone there twice, and Thompson had dealt directly with her ever since.
At this moment, three individuals were sitting in the top-floor office.
Furrowing his brow, Thompson grasped his head as if it would fall off if he let go.
"We received news from La Beauté Group that they will divest." His deep voice showed signs of
exhaustion and helplessness. 'They're our main investor. Once they divest, our working capital would
be insufficient, and the experiment would have to stop immediately."
"At what stage is the experiment now?” Sitting with his legs crossed on a big sofa chair made of
genuine leather, a man looked relatively calm.
"It's already at a late stage. In fact, I think we’re very close to success!"
"Close is never enough. Even if you're one step away from your goal, it's still a failure!"
The rude statement made Thompson flush.
