"Grandpa, I'm sorry for being so unruly,' Lily whispered.She was unfilial for picking a fight with her family over such a man."Silly girl, there’s no one who wasn’t unruly when they’re younger. Just bear in mind that this will always be your home!" After he finished speaking, he turned his head and coughed a few times.When Lily heard Wilfred cough, she immediately got up and looked at him nervously. "Are you all right? I'll get the doctor to come to take a look!""There's no need for that!" He held her down and frowned disapprovingly. "It's no big deal. I'll just drink some water and get some rest!"Then, he picked up the glass of water by his bedside table and took two sips before saying, "See? I'm fine now, aren't I? Are you leaving already? I have nothing to worry about you being out there on your own. You seem very capable of taking care of yourself. You can visit any time you want."After a pause, he continued, "That Alexander seems like a good guy. However, make sure you
After returning from the Lodge family’s home, Alexander noticed that his wife was busier than ever. She was burying herself with work every day in the laboratory and would continue working at home. Alexander finally could not resist asking after a few days, "What have you been doing, Lily?"Since Lily got home, she was absent-mindedly eating and wanted to go straight into her workspace.At her request a few days ago, Alexander vacated a room in the back of the house for Lily to work on her projects. Now, Alexander thought that it might have been a mistake. ‘Home is home. Why does Lily have to work when she’s at home? Does she have to bring all her work home every day?’"I'm working on a new product!" Lily did not think there was any problem. She was quite busy lately, but she was fine with that. She had always been busy like this all her life. "Is this about the Southbank soap? I can get someone to help you if it's too overwhelming for you. Maybe we can reconsider and renegoti
The elderly were usually stubborn. The more they age, the more opposed they are to medical treatment. Especially someone like Wilfred Lodge, who practiced kickboxing all his life and was typically healthy, hated the idea of seeing a doctor. However, if his granddaughter made the essential oil for him, he would not have the heart to refuse it. "That's what I think, but I'm not sure if my grandfather would be willing to use it. Anyway, I have to give it a try." After a pause, she continued, "Actually, the essential oils are just like perfumes. Every perfumer has their unique style.""Take the lavender and sandalwood you just mentioned as examples. There are different ingredients and components in them. The final product of every different perfumer will be different. This is something that I want to do for him, and that is different from buying it outside."She had left the Lodge family for many years and felt guilty. Now that she saw her grandfather suffering from insomnia, she tho
“Brittany, I don’t want to tell you if you’re going to act like this,” Arianna said cautiously. Arianna had just said a word, and Brittany exploded. If she had heard it all, it would have been way worse.Arianna stood up and said, "By the way, I just remembered I have something to tend to at home, so I have to go.""Don't leave!" Brittany grabbed her. How could she let her leave so quickly? "You weren’t clear enough. Do you want to drive me crazy? Tell me, where did you hear that? By the way, who is Alex engaged to?"It was difficult for Brittany to ask the last question. Deep in her heart, she did not want to believe it. She had been by Alexander's side for so long. There were not even female animals around him, let alone women. How could someone who did not have a girlfriend suddenly get engaged?If Brittany had heard this from anyone else, she would have laughed it off as a stupid joke. However, it was different since it came from Arianna.Arianna was a member of the Tanner fam
Although Alexander had rejected Brittany so many times, at least there were no other women by his side. That was why he could bear her temper. Brittany felt that he loved her without knowing it. It was apparent but unknown. She patiently waited until Alexander found out that he liked her, but if there were an affair, she would have a strong sense of crisis. "That's true. That’s why I was shocked when I heard about it. You never mentioned he was engaged or anything!" Nodding, Arianna agreed with Brittany’s statement."C’mon, continue the story!" Brittany urged. Her heart was burning with anxiety."Anyway, it was Mr. Lodge's birthday, so my uncle went along with his son. After he came back, he mentioned something like that, and I happened to hear it," unable to hold back her fiery look, Arianna explained the matter. Brittany waited for a while, and when she saw that Arianna had no intention of continuing, she blinked, "That’s it?" "Yep! That’s all!" Spreading he
It was not feasible to ask Alexander, but there were still detours in the tactics involved.Brandon was too busy recently. He put his legs on the desk while holding his phone to flirt with his crush when Brittany came rushing in. Brandon almost could not react fast enough and exposed his surprised expression. He quickly snapped out of it and looked at Brittany, "Wow, what a surprise! You rarely come here!”As he said that, he glanced sideways and continued with sarcasm, "You brought food too? Don’t tell me you purposely came to bring me food."Brittany laughed and walked straight to him. She put the cake and coffee on his table and said, "You’re right. I bought it for you on purpose. Happy now?""Really?" Immediately putting down his legs, Brandon sat up straight and leaned forward, "Yo, it's my favorite red velvet and caramel macchiato! It seems like you did buy this for me. How nice of you!” He held the cake carefully with both hands, with a look of gratitude but did not intend
"It's delicious! Did you buy it from Tanner's Bakery? Their cakes are unbelievable! No one else could compare! Hey, I’m serious! I wouldn’t lie to you. Do you want to take a bite?" He dug out a piece with a spoon and held it near her mouth.Brittany avoided it with a look of disgust. Brandon shook his head and asked, "How could you reject this?!" He continued to eat, and seeing that the cake was half eaten, she asked calmly, "Brandon, have you met with Alex recently?""No!" He buried himself in the cake and occasionally freed his mouth to drink the macchiato. "There haven't been any new projects to work with lately. He’s busy, and I’m busy as well. You know how he is. It’s difficult to even call him out for a drink. You see him more than I do, anyways. What’s up?After saying that, he felt something was wrong and suddenly raised his head, "What do you want to say?" "It's nothing. I just wanted you to help me find something out." She smiled with a harmless and
“That's why I want you to ask!" Brittany circled the table, grabbed his arm, and gently rocked it, "It's not a big deal. You just need to check the details. Can’t you help me on this small thing?”After all, it was not a big deal, but where did she hear that nonsense? Brandon frowned and looked at her disgusted, "How could you even believe this? I remember you were quite confident in yourself! Have you ever seen another woman with Alex? I thought you’d already chased away all the ladies that tried to get near him. Besides, with how he acts, I would probably believe he was gay if you said so. By the way, do you think he’s engaged to another man?” He remarked in all seriousness, convinced that his viewpoint was the most sensible.Brittany clenched her tiny fist and thumped him fiercely, "Bullsh*t! You’re probably gayer than he is! Just help me ask! Why are you asking so many questions?”Being hammered by the fist, Brandon screamed, “Alright, I’ll ask! It’s true when they say t
