After a while, Alexander's breathing gradually calmed down, and he did not seem so upset anymore.
He slowly let go of her and looked down.
"Did | hurt you?" Although he didn't hurt her, the pressure from his head made her shoulders a little sore.
"No," Lily replied, shrugging her shoulders and smiling.
"Why are you back? Didn't | tell you not to worry? | wouldn't open the door for her, nor would | go out to meet her.Olivia is also here with me.What is there for you to be worried about?" "You don't understand," he said.
"You don't know how despicable they are." Lily did not reply.She did not quite understand who he was referring to.It was only Celine outside.

Alexander followed her hand and touched the soft flab before nodding solemnly.
"You're right.You did gain sweight." "How dare you! Are you saying that I'm fat?!" Lily quickly grabbed a pillow and pressed it on his face, feigning anger.
Alexander played along and fell backward, pulling her with him.
"You were the one that said it first! | just agreed!" "Don't agree then! Only | can say it, not you!" As with all wives, there were times when they were unreasonable.
Although Lily was usually calm and rational, she still had lapses sometimes.
"All right, all right.
You're not fat! You're the prettiest, leanest, most perfect woman in my eyes." His fingers were deftly slipping into her clothes as he said that.
