Spoiled by Mr. Russell의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1721 - 챕터 1730

However, Alexander showed no joy and looked a bit solemn.“I received news about him about half a month ago, but I didn’t tell you because you were busy,” Alexander explained casually. “He’s safe now and still alive.”“That’s great news!” Then, heaving a sigh of relief, she seemed to remember something and fished out her phone to make a call. “What are you doing?” Alexander asked while holding her hand. Lily moved her phone-holding hand away and said, “I’m calling Olivia to tell her the good news! Oh, did your men tell her?”‘I bet she’ll be thrilled to discover that Edward is still alive and safe!’Holding her hands with both hands, Alexander stopped her from making the call and said, “You don’t have to tell her. She knows about it.”It was at this moment that Lily sensed that he was acting strangely. He is not thrilled or excited to share the news with her, but rather unhappy. Why?’“Did something happen?” she asked hesitantly. When she asked the question, different scena

Lily went in after her, then gave Alexander a look to signal him to join her.Glancing around the place, Lily saw that it was a bit messy. Olivia was a neat person who usually kept the apartment tidy. However, now the carpet lay crooked, the trash can was almost overfilled, and drinkwares were placed haphazardly on the table. There were traces of someone lying on the sofa, with the cushions everywhere. However, they only saw her and not Edward. When she was downstairs, Lily wanted to ask about Edward’s health, but she changed her mind after seeing Olivia’s uncharacteristic attitude. “Olivia, you hardly called me recently, although not much is happening at the studio. Did something happen?” She paused and watched as Olivia poured a glass of water, then asked tentatively, “Is it because of Edward?”Even though Olivia was facing away from her, Lily could see her shoulders shudder. A few seconds later, Olivia brought the glass over and gave it to Lily. Then, fixing her stare on A

Since Edward had yelled at him, Alexander did not argue and stopped. “When and how did you return? Why did you block me on your phone? You know I’ve been looking for you. Just what the hell happened?”“We both know what happened.” Edward said coldly, “Why should we go through it again?”“I don’t!” Alexander remained still, but his imposing demeanor had not diminished. He raised his brows and studied Edward up and down. “Tell me what exactly happened that day. We got caught in a gunfight before boarding the plane.“You let me go first and took bullets for me. I’ll always remember what you did. The first thing I did when I came back was to send people to look for you, but they failed. I want to know what happened after that and how you returned!”Alexander immersed himself in his memories. He spoke clearly without a hint of guilt on his face. Meanwhile, Olivia kept staring at him to try and find a loophole in his story or trace of him lying. However, she had an inexplicable feeling t

Olivia quickly turned back and tried to read Lily’s lips. Then, just after Lily finished mouthing two sentences, Edward snapped, “Why aren’t they leaving yet? Do you want them to stay and me to leave instead?”“No, they’re waiting for the elevator. I’m closing the door now!” Olivia said it quickly, gave Lily a small nod, and then closed the door.Seeing the door shut, Lily let out a barely audible sigh.Wrapping his arm around her shoulders, Alexander walked with her toward the elevator and lowered his head. “So? What did you say to her?”“I told her to call me without Edward knowing and that I’d like to speak to her alone.” Glancing back toward the door, she saw it was closed and whispered her answer.“Without Edward knowing?” Alexander pressed the elevator button while raising his eyebrows.“Yes!” Nodding, Lily looked at him. “Don’t you think there’s something very wrong with Edward?”“How could there be anything wrong with him? He's been by my side for years. "If I couldn't t

Olivia walked over. Seeing her reach out her hands, Edward wanted to ask her what she wanted, then felt his body rush forward. She rolled the wheelchair up to the couch and plopped onto it before bringing it closer so he could face her. Edward was stunned. “Edward, there’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for some days, but I didn’t know how.” Probably feeling brave due to the alcohol, Olivia rambled as she pulled at his wheelchair with one hand and held up the beer can with another. “Don’t you feel that you’ve become ill-tempered since you returned? It’s almost as if you’ve turned into a different person!” She said, then tilted her head back and took another swig.Edward said, “Oh? Have I?”He answered coldly with a tightly furrowed brow. “You have!” Olivia continued, pointing out, "At first I thought you must not be in a good mood because you're injured, and I could understand that. However, you’ve grown crankier and crankier after so many days. You’ve never acted like thi
