Chapter 1218
Hearing this, Alexander looked perturbed and said, Tat chance is all he's got!"
Mike was speechless, and so was Lily.
Palming her belly, she could imagine how much Alexander would dote on his daughter if she gave birth
to a girl.
He waited outside the delivery room, expecting Galen to be a girl, and was shocked to learn that she
had given birth to a boy.
Alexander gradually developed a loving fatherly relationship with Galen because he was the firstborn
child and an energetic boy who enjoyed laughing. The man was thrilled to learn that Lily was pregnant
with twins and was sure he would get at least one daughter.
He was naturally upset that Mike was trying to get him to marry off his yet-to-be-born daughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMike could say anything, but Alexander would become upset if he brought up marriage.
"Can you two stop squabbling over this?” Trying to smooth things over, Lily changed the subject. "I
learned you’re giving my studio an additional order for the next quarter. Is the demand that high?”
"You can’t handle it?” Mike looked at her with raised brows.
"I can, but I worry you'll be stuck with too many products.”
The economy of the continent of Azalea has been rough lately, and Lily's orders from other clients have
gone down. Mike was the only client who kept on ordering more perfumes.
It was good for Lily to be getting more orders and making more money, but seeing the overall situation,
she wondered if Mike truly had such a huge sales volume.
"Relax. You don’t think I'll fail to settle the payment, do you? I'm only trying to make more money for my
son’s future marriage," Mike said half-jokingly, and he gave Alexander a sidelong glance.
Alexander shot back a glare.
Mike laughed and quickly waved. "Okay, okay, even if I'm not considering your daughter, he still needs
to get himself a wife, doesn't he?"
Pleased with his answer, Alexander snorted and said thoughtfully, ’The impact of the financial crisis is
rather widespread. Even though your business is quite established, it’s better not to be so high-profile
as it might attract trouble.”
"I’m not trying to brag, but I think my business could withstand another eight to ten years," Mike
stopped smiling and said earnestly.
After a pause, he lifted his gaze to Lily. "You won't be attending the award ceremony, will you?"
He was talking about the quinquennial World Perfumery Awards, where the top perfumes worldwide
over the past five years would be selected and awarded.
Since the event was known around the world and only happened once every five years, it was an honor
even to attend. Lily had received the invitation two months ago, and there were no doubts that she

However, since her tummy was already bulging and it might not be convenient for her to move in two
months, Mike assumed she was not going.
However, to his surprise, Lily shook her head and said firmly, "No, I will."
"But you...”
"I’ll only be seven months pregnant then. Why shouldn't I go? It'll be just right for me.” She certainly did
not want to miss an event that only occurred every five years.
’You agreed?" Surprised, Mike turned to look at Alexander. ’ He loves his wife and unborn daughter so
dearly. How could he agree to this?'
Alexander simply shrugged and splayed his arms, giving Mike a helpless look.
Mike was at a loss for words.
