Chapter 856


    The driver''s seat was empty, and Alexander was nowhere around. Lily suddenly felt a little flustered


    and sat upright to look around. She saw him not too far in front of her and felt relieved. Alexander was


    on the phone, and she could see his side profile.


    He stood there with his tall, slender figure, looking focused, but his side profile was desirable. It was


    unknown when he had upied Lily''s heart little by little. She thought she would not believe in love


    anymore after her experience with Nathaniel.


    Even if she did fall in love, she could not love someone deeply. She now knew how wrong she was. Not


    only did she fall in love, but she loved Alexander unconditionally because he was worth it.


    Alexander felt her burning gaze and turned around. His cold eyes turned gentle when he saw her. Lily


    smiled at him and got out of the car. He had ended the phone call by the time she approached him.


    Lily did not know who he was talking to, but she could deduce that it was an unpleasant call. However,


    that did not matter, as the couple had received plenty of unpleasant calls recently. She hugged his arm,


    asking, ’ Why didn''t you wake me up? Did I sleep for a long time?"


    "Were you nning on not sleeping if I didn''t go to the studio to pick you up? Go and wash your face.


    I’ve already ordered something to eat, so it should arrive soon. Eat first before you continue your


    sleep.” Alexander reprimanded her, but she could see the tenderness in his eyes.


    "Okay." Lily nodded obediently.


    She washed her face and came out. Sure enough, the food arrived not long after. Alexander ordered it


    from her favorite restaurant. He was being thoughtful as he considered her condition and thought she


    might have felt too tired to eat out.


    The couple sat facing each other with several tes of food in front of them. Lily picked up the cutlery


    and said, "You ordered so much. It would be a waste if we can''t finish it all!"


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "If you''re worried, you should eat more, and then it wouldn''t be a waste if you finished everything."


    "Are you kidding me?! This much is enough for me to eat for a whole day. I’m not a pig!” Lily said with


    puffed cheeks.


    Indeed, she did not eat like a pig but more like a little hamster hiding her food in her cheeks. Alexander


    smiled and said,


    "Perhaps, there are other ways to finish the food."


    "What way?" She asked casually. Even though she said there were too many dishes, she could not


    stop eating. The food from this restaurant was delicious and matched her taste, after all.


    "Consider having a child to share the food with?"


    "Pfft..." Lily almost spat out a mouthful of soup and coughed repeatedly.


    ‘He wants a child just to help US finish our food?! What ame excuse'' Lily rolled her eyes at him.


    Since their previous misunderstanding about her pregnancy, Alexander could not stop thinking about it.


    "It''s a troubling time now. Are you sure it''s appropriate to have a baby at this time?” She answered


    unhurriedly.


    Alexander put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth slowly. "Troubling times are not limited to only


    now. Whether it is suitable or not is irrelevant to the date. Instead, it''s on… you.”


    Lily involuntarily blushed when she heard his straightforward words and saw his fiery eyes.


    "I..." Just as she was about to respond, the phone rang.
