The words were so harsh that Celine gasped. After all, Margaret was a mother herself. However, what she said was true. The only reason women like these married into affluent families was for wealth and power. For this reason, Margaret told Lily that she would never have any of that, even if she had a child. If they were to get a divorce one day, Lily would be left with nothing. This was all too shocking for Celine. If her mother-in-law were to say that to her back then, she would definitely not be able to bear it.Sure enough, Lily fell silent. Margaret was secretly a little proud, thinking that Lily must have been so shaken that she needed time to digest what she had heard. However, the look in Lily's eyes was strange.Before Margaret could bask in her victory any longer, Lily spoke. "Grandma, it must have been hard on you."Hearing this, both Margaret and Celine were puzzled. Was this girl crazy? Could she have decided to try and grovel up to Margaret so she would let her go
She was surprised. Lily did not expect that they would actually do it, being two noble ladies. Lily could only instinctively protect herself, but in an instant, what appeared to be a solid wall appeared in front of her, and she was not at all scalded. "My goodness!" Celine exclaimed, staring at the person in front of her with wide eyes. She had no idea Alexander had returned! Not only did he return, but he had also dashed to assist Lily in blocking the cup of hot water, keeping her firmly behind him."Alexander!" Margaret yelled, looking at him with both anger and helplessness. "Haven’t you caused enough trouble?" Alexander spoke in a deep voice with an icy face. It was true that he had meetings at the company, but he also knew his family. After receiving the cold shoulder yesterday, Aunt Celine would not give up so quickly. She was very predictable, but she always had to be on guard. Sure enough, today, she brought his grandmother to the do
Margaret looked fierce but was actually afraid of her husband.When Hugo was still alive, she dared not say a word. He was the master of the family, so even if she did not like the eldest daughter-in-law or the grandson, she could not say a word about it. Hugo decided to entrust them with the family business and would even carefully guide them. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could not say anything. She did not possess the authority to speak in this family until Hugo's passing. She wanted to handle everything because she believed she had great power. However, by then, Alexander had grown up and no longer listened to her, so she disliked him even more. He moved out of the Russell Estate and lived away all these years. Margaret did not care because he was an eyesore. However, she could not ignore the fact that he wanted to get married and bring someone into the Russell family. Margaret arrived intending to slap Lily in the face, but she did not expect Alexa
Observing her anxious demeanor, frayed thoughts, and tiny hands hastily unbuttoning him, Alexander started laughing at how nervous Lily had become. He gently held her hand and said, "The water was not that hot. What are you so anxious about? Don’t worry about it." "Hey, since you have the time to talk, can you unbutton yourself? Burns can be big or small. It's not a joke!" Lily was about to get angry. How could he not know how to take care of himself?"What did you say?" Raising his eyebrows, Alexander smiled. His fingers slid down the shirt, unbuttoning one at a time. Although it was a simple action, Lily felt herself warming up as she watched his fingers flick lightly on the button. He was gradually opening the button, exposing his skin. She looked over and swallowed unconsciously. "Would you like to..." Her expression changed completely. Alexander chuckled, and just as he was about to tease her, his clothes were torn apart. His shirt was ripped, and a few
After getting out the ointment, Lily gently dipped a little with her fingers and applied it to the reddened area. To Alexander, this minor injury was nothing at all, but when her fingers were pressed to his skin with the cold ointment, he had to admit that it was still quite pleasant. A cool feeling penetrated the skin, and he was about to refuse, but he actually enjoyed it. He stretched out his body, tilted his head back, and let her little hand slide over his belly. However, as the ointment was slowly put on, along with a slight coolness, there was also a feeling that was hard to describe. That fiery feeling rose from the lower abdomen all the way up, making his mouth dry. Lily's full attention was on the place where he was scalded. Although shocked, she was still so moved that he would rush over at that moment. It was still his grandma and his aunt, and no matter how bad their relationship was, they were still his relatives in the end. However, he would put
How could Alexander feel relieved when Lily was in this condition? He said, "No, even if nothing is wrong, I have to take you to the hospital. Let’s go to the doctor immediately!"His stubbornness was quite scary, and it was impossible to negotiate with him. In addition, she was unwell and had little strength, so he carried her and walked quickly outside. She was placed in the car, and he sped off to the hospital. Lily was in the passenger seat and had no strength to speak. She did not want to talk and only wanted a good night's sleep.She reluctantly opened his eyelids, and watched Alexander in the driver's seat start the car. She said, "I'm really fine. I just want to sleep for a while. I said that I don't want to go to the hospital.” Lily continued to cough. "Shut up! Stop talking!" Alexander said, with a gloomy and terrifying face. Her condition was seemingly getting worse. He handed her a bottle and said, "Drink more water and talk less. We’ll reach it soon
What a liar! How could she have slept so deeply that she was unaware he carried her into the hospital? "I didn't expect to get sick so easily. I rarely get sick, and I didn’t expect my health to be this bad!" When she moved herself a little, she felt that her body was still weak. The IV was still hanging, making moving even more inconvenient. "Is this for fever?" She looked up at the hanging bottle above, and there were several small bottles. "No, this is a nutrient solution, and you’re not allowed to take any medicine now." After pouring a glass of water, Alexander handed it to her. He even thoughtfully put a straw in her drink so she could drink it more easily. Lily frowned and did not understand what he said, "What do you mean I’m not allowed to take medicine? Am I allergic to something?”Since she was young, she had been sick only a handful of times, and it was even rarer to be hospitalized with infections, but she had never had any allergies. Alexa
"It's true. The doctor already examined you. It's been almost two months, didn’t you know?" The doctor mentioned that people who were pregnant for the first time might not be very sensitive. In addition, they also had little knowledge about pregnancy and no personal experience, so it was normal for them not to notice. Some people would not even find out that they were pregnant after several months. However, the symptoms were quite evident at times. After all, the lack of menstruation was already the most obvious prompt. Since he mentioned it, Lily thought about it carefully, and it seemed that her period had not come for almost two months. She had previously experienced some menstrual irregurality, and she was also very busy at work, so she neglected to pay attention. "I thought it was a lot of work pressure, but I didn't expect..." "You're a little confused!" He raised his hand and poked her nose. He wanted to smack her butt, but he refrained due to her st
