The following morning, Olivia went to the studio. She noticed that someone had opened the door with the lights and some equipment turned on. She was a little confused for a moment, wondering if she had forgotten to turn them off when she left yesterday.As she slowly walked in, she heard a rustling from the inside. However, the door to one of the laboratories remained, and it seemed like someone was inside.Besides raw materials, they had some flowers and plants here. Although the equipment was expensive, it was challenging for one to steal and sell.‘There’s no way there’s a thief here, right?With that thought in mind, Olivia leaned forward and pushed the door open. However, the person inside the room did not stop what they were doing. When Olivia looked to see who was inside, she cursed, "D*mn it! What are you doing?!"She did not expect Lily to be in the laboratory.Lily, concentrating on the experiment, did not seem to hear Olivia. Instead, Lily fixed her gaze on the test tu
After all, Lily was occupied with research in the laboratory and could not cater to all her orders. Therefore, she decided to call off the order without much thought.After washing her hands, she poured herself a glass of water, only to find that Olivia was still following her with a hesitant expression."What's wrong?""The royal family…I'm afraid it's not that easy to reject them.”It would not have mattered if their client was just any ordinary nobleman. This was the royal family of Yudonia they were talking about. Although they were not living in the same country, it would be a shame to reject an order from them."So what if they are the royal family? We're running a serious business. Just tell them I'm incapable of taking this order."Lily did not care whether or not they were royalty. She had no plans to develop in Yudonia, let alone make this her full-time career. Nonetheless, they were the royal family, making it more difficult and troublesome.Therefore, it was best for
"Hi!" The abrupt voice startled Austin, and he instinctively took a step back. The voice continued to boom, "Stay away from my car!"He was speechless and began looking around, but he saw no one. Finally, he noticed a small surveillance camera with a speaker in the front of the shop lot. He made a wild guess that the sound must have come from there.Curious, he took a few steps forward and looked up at the surveillance camera. Then he pointed at the red sports car and asked, "That car. Is it yours?"Lily enlarged his face on the monitor inside the studio and found him amusing. Olivia, on the sidelines, immediately burst into laughter. "This man is quite funny!""If it isn't mine, could it be yours? Stay away from my car, or I'll call the police!" Lily replied bluntly.Austin opened his mouth and closed it again. He had never been left so speechless in his life.‘Does this person think I’m a carjacker?’However, he thought the voice sounded very familiar. As he lowered his head t
Back then, at the entrance of the research institute, he insisted that a woman should not be doing these things. He yelled at her to withdraw from the project. Now, he was outside her studio, telling her it was all a coincidence. She found it unbelievable. "If I said I was just passing by, would you believe me?" "Haha." Lily let out a dry laugh without saying anything else. Instead, she stared at him with a smile, creeping him out.'Weirdo!' He thought to himself. He was obviously just passing by. ‘Why is she staring at me like that, insinuating that I’m making excuses? Thinking of this, he became more confident and puffed up his chest. Then he pointed at the car and asked, "Is this car yours?"Lily followed his finger and replied, "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"Austin did not know what to say to this woman. In the end, he asked, "So, it was you at my second granduncle's house the other day.""Your second granduncle?" Lily raised her eyebrows and asked knowing
Raising her eyebrows, Lily smiled lightly. "I do."Immediately, Austin's eyes lit up. "Who is it? Do I know him?""I think you do!" She crossed her arms as if she was thinking. Then, as she looked at him from head to toe, she unhurriedly said, "Isn't Mr. Dominic's secret apprentice...you?!" "I…" Austin was taken aback by what he had just heard."What's wrong? Did you forget? The entire Kingdom—no, the entire country is aware that you are Mr. Dominic's secret apprentice. For you to come here today to ask me about his secret apprentice, could it be that even you have no idea who you are?"Austin was speechless. Even his quick-witted self was pushed to his limits. He could not even say a word. "I…" After getting over his initial shock, he began to think about how close Lily was to Dominic. It was likely she knew the secret apprentice was not him. Austin knew there was nothing to hide in front of her and said, "I've never admitted publicly that I am his secret apprentice. Those
His whole body turned uncontrollably, and his arm was twisted behind him. Grimacing, he felt that his arm might break if she tried any harder.Besides being pregnant, she was doing all this with one hand.Austin's eyes widened in terror. Although he still refused to believe this, he couldn't move his arm."Lily Christian! How dare you try and hurt me?!" He yelled angrily as he waved his other hand, trying to escape her grasp.However, with Lily's sharp gaze and swift movements, she quickly dodged his hand and raised her leg. In one swift move, she let go of her grasp around his wrist…Austin felt a force coming toward his stomach before his whole body was thrown forward uncontrollably."Ah!" When he fell hard to the ground, he cried out and kicked up a layer of dust.“Mr. Fike, I think there's something wrong with your memory." Lily turned around with her hands on the door as she looked down at him on the ground. "Wasn't it you who reached out to grab me first? Take my advice
That evening, Alexander came to pick Lily up as usual and went home with her.After getting into the car, Lily noticed a large box in the back seat when she turned to fasten her seatbelt. The box was exquisitely packaged and tied with a ribbon. Smirking, she joked, "Which girl are you giving a gift to?""Are there other girls worthy of my gifts besides you?" Alexander asked as he naturally glanced at her fondly."There’s no occasion today. Why did you get me a gift?" She was still delighted to receive a present but could not help being curious. "What is it?""Who said there’s no occasion today? Have you forgotten what day it is?"Now, Lily was perplexed. She began to cross things out of her mind; it wasn't their wedding anniversary, nor was it any of their birthdays. It wasn't their son's birthday either. Ultimately, she turned to look at her phone's calendar. She had not marked any events on it."You can't remember?"Lily blinked innocently and said nothing. In the end, Alexand
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?"Lily 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 w
