Chapter 184


    Alexander had rushed home in the middle of the night because of Lily’s text. However, his wife did not


    look at him and simply snuggled into his embrace. He did not know whether he should be d or mad


    at her.


    d because she was willing to get closer to himn. Mad because she did that so easily. What if the


    person on the bed was not Alexander but someone else?


    “Lily. Lily…” he called her name softly in her ear.


    “Shut up! You’re so noisy!” Lily waved her hand. Dissatisfaction was written all over her face.


    Alexander was speechless. ‘She said I was noisy, but she hugged me tighter and snuggled deeper into


    my arms. Did she think she would not hear anything by doing so?’


    Alexander wanted to say something at first but just sighed in the end. ‘Forget it. I’ll just say it tomorrow!


    She’s my princess, after all.’


    He soon rxed in the bed and fell asleep with Lily using him as a human pillow.


    Lily had a great sleep. When she woke up, she felt fresh and wanted to stretch her arms, but she could


    not move them. Opening her eyes, she saw the handsome face belonging to her lover.


    “Alex?” she called out in surprise. “When did youe home?”


    Alexander opened his eyes, his dark orbs staring back at her. Finally, he could let out his words from


    keep yourself safe?”


    He used his hand to knock her forehead lightly because he did not want to hurt her.


    Lily put her hand to her forehead and asked, “Is there another man in this house except for


    you?”


    “What if it was a robber?”


    “Oh, please! Do you think that the security guards of Imperial Hills are just decorations? How could a


    robber get in here so easily? Even if someone were to barge into the neighborhood, you have a burr


    rm system installed in this house, don’t you?” she said casually, thinking he had just asked a terrible


    question.


    Her words surprised him. “How’d you know I have a system in this house?”


    Lily was speechless. After all, she had been staying there for quite some time. She could tell a burr


    rm system was installed after a few looks around. While this system may not be as practical as the


    one used at the Lodge family’s residence, it was substantial enough for the average person.


    “1… guessed it!” She thought of a cover and continued, “Don’t you watch TV? People with your level of


    wealth and status would always set up some protection barriers around their houses to prevent


    burries.”


    Lily raised her brow after saying that, satisfied with herself foring up with such a reasonable


    excuse.


    “Can I think of it as you feeling safe around me?” Sensing that she wanted to get up,

    Alexander reached for her wrist and pulled her back into his embrace.


    “Alex quit messing with me. I need to head to theb now.” Lily struggled to get away from him. She


    would not feel at ease beforepleting her research. “You spent more time in theb than with me


    recently. I should consider taking the personalb back from you,” Alexander muttered as he snuggled


    into her neck. ‘Boss! You can’t use work to get back at me for our private matters!’ Lily thought.
