Chapter 565
While Lily packed, Alexander could not help himself and hugged her from behind. “What about I come
with you?”
Although she was only traveling within the country this time, Alexander had been on high alert since Lil
y’s kidnapping in Westwood. The idea of her going on a business trip repelled him.
“What if I don’t go on the trip at all?” Lily turned her head and half–joked.
“Really?” Alexander’s gaze lit up at the sound of that. Even the pitch of his voice went higher. “You’re s
o silly!” Lily pecked his cheek before bending down to continue packing her luggage. “I’m just going the
re for two days, and I’ll be back soon. Plus, I’m not even going overseas this time. It’s just Kingsland, th

“Of course I am!” Alexander did not hide his concern for her at all.
Lily was right, but he would miss her presence and did not want to feel separated. Lily froze, not expect
ing him to be so frank about his concern and yearning for her. She stopped whatever she was doing an
d turned to hug him. “Silly boy, I can defend myself!”
Alexander knew she could defend herself. He had a rough guess about it after they returned. from Wes

Lily said nothing much about the kidnapping, but Alexander knew the kidnappers were not just casual r
ebels. One could say Lily was lucky to come out of such a place unharmed, but that would not make se

r her to know a little self–
defense anyway because she was part of the Lodge family. He assumed she had learned kickboxing si
nce she was young, but he was unsure how skillful she was in combat.
“I know you learned kickboxing from the Lodge family, but you must know that there are other threats in
this world besides punches and kicks that could take you by surprise and hurt you a hundredfold more,
” Alexander said seriously after composing himself.
That was the main reason for his concern. Although nothing like what happened in Westwood would oc

ociety to settle some matters. Many others will also be there, so I should be fine. Even if someone want
s to make things difficult for me on purpose, I can handle that too!”
In the past, Lily was not good at socializing and hated these unnecessary events. However, she learne
d how to deal with these people after she got together with Alexander. After all, growing
up was learning how to accept and solve problems instead of running away from them, right? “Promise
“What is it?”
“Don’t do things beyond your limits!” he said thoughtfully.
‘When have I ever done that? I should settle the things that seem to be within my capabilities. Also, I’m o

Alexander nodded immediately.
