Chapter 380 Lily's eyebrows went up in surprise.
Firstly, she realized that it was a girl's name.
That was not the critical part.
The main issue was that she saw Alexander furrow his eyebrows.
With a tap on the screen, he rejected the call.
Before he could put his hand back onto the steering wheel, another call cin.
Just the ringtone alone was enough to make one nervous.
Sighing, he put one hand by the window and reached out with his other to reject the call.
Lily blocked his hand.
"Answer.lt might be urgent.” "I can leave if that's more convenient for you." as she said, she undid her safety belt.
"It's not necessary.” Alexander tugged on her. He picked up the phone and answered, "What is it?" "Sob sob sob sob..." Sobbing cfrom the other end of the line, scaring Lily.She blinked, wondering if she was hallucinating.
Alexander was speechless.He looked a little impatient too.
"Callagain after you've finished crying." After that, he hung up the call.Lily did not know what to say.

Nonetheless, it did not settle anything.Less than two seconds later, the phone rang again.
Alexander tapped to answer the call.
This time, there was no more crying.
Instead, a harsh voice said, "You hung up on me! Alex! How dare you hang up on me! You just left without saying anything, and then you won't reply to my messages.You've never treatedthis way before!" "I'm overseas.Whatever you have to say, hurry up and say it." He was unapologetic as he implied that he would hang up the phone again at any moment.
Brittany pouted.
"Must | only call you if | have something to say? Where did you go? My brother doesn’t know, and Edward refuses to tell me.When are you coming back?" "Can't say.Anything else?" Alexander said faintly.
Alexander was worried about what Lily would think.
Now and then, he shot her a look.It was subconscious, but Brittany’s womanly instincts told her something was wrong.
"What are you looking at? Is someone with you?" She suddenly stared straight at the camera and leaned forward so that her face filled the entire screen.
Alexander exclaimed, "What are you doing?!" "There's somebody with you, isn’t there? Is it a woman? Who is this?" Her voice was shrill as she pushed him for an answer.
"Someone is here, but it has nothing to do with you.If that’s all, I'm hanging up now." "No—" Brittany let out a terrifying scream.Lily subconsciously covered her ears.
‘Sigh, this woman's voice is so high pitched!” she thought.
The next moment, the screaming stopped because Alexander had cut off the line.Lily wanted to ask Alexander if he worried she would call again.
Then, she saw him immediately block the number and all social media contacts related to the woman.
Lily was speechless.
By doing this, Alexander would make Brittany jealous and cause her to fixate.
Chapter 381 After Alexander completed his task and started the car, he saw his wife give him a meaningful gaze.He instantly felt subconscious.
"Brittany's family and mine are family friends.She’s like a sister to me." When Lily saw how uncomfortable he looked as he tried to explain to her, she could not help but laugh as she asked, "Sister?" He thought the word "sister" sounded weird.
Coughing lightly, he said, "Sister, of course.l don’t have that kind of relationship with her." "What kind of relationship?" she asked quickly.
Alexander was stunned.Lily did not want to tease him, but it was the first tshe had seen him act this way.She found it fascinating.
The more uncomfortable he was, the more she felt like teasing him.He did not have to explain himself.
Given his status, even if he did not make any moves, all kinds of ladies would throw themselves at him.He was good-looking, after all.It was quite something.
"Lily," Alexander said helplessly.
He sighed and was about to say more, but Lily waved and said, "It's okay.There’s no need to be so nervous.Who doesn't have a history? | understand.l understand." How she waved her hand and looked like she did not care frustrated him.
"What history?" "Just drive.There’s no need to dwell on small things like these." Lily looked gracious, implying that she was not petty and that he did not have to worry about her.However, her attitude made Alexander unhappy.
"You're not jealous at all?" "You just said that she’s like a sister to you.Why would | be jealous?" She blinked her eyes, looking innocent.
What she said was true, but did she not feel the slightest discomfort? With a nod, Alexander tried to focus on driving.It was as if something was bothering him, and he could not stomach it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSitting next to him in the co-driver seat, Lily leaned her head to one side and fell into a fitful sleep.
Lily was honestly not jealous.
Upon hearing that woman's voice earlier, she had been a little upset, but Alexander had shut it down immediately and nervously tried to explain it.It seemed like it was genuinely nothing.
If there was something and he wanted to divorce her, he could do it as easily as snapping his fingers.
There was no need to hide anything from her.
Lily slept well, unaware that the person beside her was in a bad mood.
When they got to their destination, Lily woke up out of reflex.
Looking out of the car, she realized they were in the hotel's parking lot.She woke up just in time.
"You're good at driving.| didn’t feel anything during the drive," Lily generously praised as she lowered her head to undo the safety belt.
Alexander gave no reply.
‘She doesn't have a heart.It seemed like it didn't bother her at all" Sighing softly, he did not know whether to praise Lily for being gracious or accuse her of being heartless.
Only after alighting from the car and reaching their room did Lily sense something was wrong.
‘Why does Alexander seem to be in a bad mood, as if he’s upset about something? Was it the phone call earlier? ‘Was it because | was in the car just now? To keepfrom misunderstanding, he ruined his relationship with that girl.He said their families were friends, and she was like a sister.Did Alex ruin his relationship with the girl?’ As Lily thought of this, she decided that she should take the initiative to convince him that she was a gracious person and that she did not mind at all.
"There's no need to ruin your relationship with that girl. She might have something urgent to talk to you about.
Now that you've ruined your relationship with her, it will be awkward to see her next, won't it?"Lily carefully took the Southbank soap out, ready to examine it.
Only after getting familiar with its components would she be able to innovate and create something new.
