NovelOnlineChapter 178 ‘How cunning! How dare he trickthis way?‘ “Let's try again, shall we?” Alexander stared at Lily, smirking as he raised a brow.
Lily was done with him. He talked about all that just to dive back into the unfinished conversation they had on their phones.

Her compliments did not make him happy as he glanced faintly over at her. “That's not what you said before.” “Really? My mind must've been in a mess out there. | don’t even remember what | said.” Lily shrugged, feigning ignorance. “You mean you wantto refresh your memory? Is that right?” Alexander placed his cup down and walked over to her. She wanted to flee as he drew nearer to her, but he caught her wrist and made her sit back down on the stool.
“Alex...” she called his nsoftly, placing her hands on his chest. Just a moment ago, she had been feisty, but now, she was like a tcat.
“Don't be afraid!” Alexander suddenly becserious and said gently, “Although we moved a step forward in our relationship, there's something | want to tell you. | won't force you to do anything you don’t want to. Do you understand?“.
Lily was fooling around with him before, so she was not expecting him to tell her that suddenly. While looking at his face and into his sincere eyes, her heart melted into a puddle.
She lifted her arm, caressed his cheek softly, and said gently, “Alex, | was willing to do it with you.” Alexander held her hand and left a kiss on the back of it. “I know.” He was sure about Lily‘s thoughts, which was why he continued. He would have stopped if she was not willing to take their relationship a step forward with him. Hence, he believed he was a lucky man. The woman who was most precious to him loved him back.
Lily wrapped her arms around his waist to hug him and snuggled into his embrace. She believed she was one lucky woman as well. Initially, she wanted nothing else but to strike a deal with him.

Melanie was in terrible condition. Her face was turning paler by the minute, while her lips were so dry that they cracked.
Nathaniel was worried sick about her. “Mel, lettake you to the hospital,” Leaning sideways on the bedframe, she shook her head. “It's fine. I'm just exhausted. All | need to do is get srest.” She closed her eyes, but Frank's face filled her mind, and it scared her sh*tless once again. She had not expected Frank being daring enough to follow her into the restroom earlier since they were in a public area. Thankfully, after they kissed for a while and he said a few things, he departed. Even if that was all he did, she was still shocked.
It would be awful for her reputation if anyone saw them, even someone other than Nathaniel. It was tshe did something! Previous Chapter Next Chapter
