Chapter 1273
"How cthe mosquito bump grew so big?" She pressed it.
"How do you know it's a mosquito bump, not a..." He paused and let out a hiss despite himself.
"Not what?" Removing her hand, Lily looked at him and asked.
"Don't you think it looks like something else? Or rather, doesn't it make you suspect anything?"
Lily thought he was acting weird. 'He used to speak his mind. Why does he sound like he's holding back?’
"What exactly are you talking about?"
Seeing her get impatient, Alexander decided to get straight to the point. " Don't you think it looks like a... love bite?"

"A what?" Blinking, Lily did not think much and said instinctively, "You think something else bit you?"
Alexander was speechless.
She saw his look and finally caught on to what he was saying. "Oh, you're talking about a hickey!"
"Yes, | suppose so..." He suddenly felt like an idiot.
‘Why am | trying to make her suspectwhen she wouldn't do so in the first place? Would | feel better if she scratched my face as
Olivia did to Edward?’
Lily stared at him, finding him both ridiculous and funny.
"Forget it. I'm just saying it for fun. It's better that you didn't think so." He waved to hide his embarrassment and turned around.
Lily stopped him from lying down and handed him a mirror. "Look!"
"What?"
"Take a look for yourself!" She held the mirror closer so he could see it. " Have you seen a hickey like this? Who could have left
such a huge bump with a kiss? Is the woman's mouth equipped with a stinger, and she buzzes when she sings?" Alexander was
embarrassed. At the stime, he saw the "love bite" on his neck in the mirror.
‘What the hell? The bump now looked redder and much more swollen than before!"
"How could the bump get so big?" It hurt a little when he touched it.
"The poison in the woman's mouth is so potent, isn't it?" Lily got up to get a cream and carefully applied it to the bump, teasing. Its
cooling effect soothed the pain.
Stretching a little, he muttered, ‘This is all Edward's fault."

"What has Edward got to do with it?" He spoke softly, but she heard it anyway.
She could not help but grow curious, especially after hearing what she was not supposed to hear during her conversation with
Olivia on the phone.
Alexander then told her how a mosquito bit Edward and how Olivia scratched his face due to a misunderstanding.
Of course, he did not tell her about Edward's claim that Olivia's actions were an act of love.
If he were to tell Lily that, she would know he asked her that question to see if she would get jealous. Thinking about it now, he
thought he was rather childish.
Initially shocked, Lily burst out laughing until she doubled over. "So this is what it was all about?! There's more to it than you
know."
"What do you mean?"
