Chapter 1234


    "How can the invitations be sent out so carelessly?"


    "From what I see, I don''t think anyone even invited her! She must have snuck in when no one was


    looking!"


    People chimed in with their opinions, one after the other, but Austin remained quiet. He did not agree or


    refute as he stared toward the door in a daze.


    Lily had changed her mind about the project from how he saw it. It seemed like she was not going to


    put a halt to it. However, he still found it childish and whimsical for her to try and cooperate with a


    research institute for someone who knew nothing about medicinal herbs.


    Had power finally prated their pure and niche industry?


    Alexander was already in the living room when Lily reached home, ying with Galen.


    In the vast living room, the coffee table and cabs were empty. A thick and soft carpety across the


    floor for the child to crawl around and y. Alexander doted on the child so much that Lily feared their


    next child might be a daughter.

    Since Alexander was already spoiling Galen this way, Lily was afraid he would spoil her rotten if she


    had a daughter.


    "Back so soon?" Alexander had a small building block in his hand when he looked up at his wife


    smilingly.


    Lily hummed in response as she removed her coat and handed it to the housekeeper. After she


    changed out of her shoes and washed her hand, she approached the father-son duo.


    When the little boy saw his mother, he babbled and staggered toward her. Lily pulled him into her


    embrace and lowered her gaze to look at Galen quietly.


    After being with her for so long, Alexander could easily read her emotions.” The symposium didn’t go


    well, huh?"


    He knew his wife was a workaholic. When it came to things she was interested in, she would be so


    immersed in them that she would forget to eat and sleep. She had even brought home her work


    multiple times. If it were not for her pregnancy, she would have traveled all over the country to find the


    raw materials and herbs she was keen on.


    However, seeing that she had returned so early with resentment written all over her face, Alexander


    could safely assume that the event she went to did not go well.


    Lily did not answer and kept her head down as she yed with Galen''s toys.


    Alexander thought for a moment before he asked again, "Did the discussion go badly?"


    "Discuss my a’s," Lily whispered thest word. She seemed to realize she was in the presence of a


    child and quickly stopped herself. Despite that, she still pursed her lips up in anger.


    On the other hand, Alexander could not help butugh when he saw her like this. He thought she would


    be calmer after what she had been through. He did not expect Lily to return from the symposium with


    rage to the point that she was cursing.


    He got up and moved next to her before pulling her into his arms. "Who made my queen unhappy? Do


    you need me to teach them a lesson?" He teased.


    Lily snorted. "I won''t dare to. After all, as a woman, I should stay home and care for my husband and


    children. How dare I go out and steal a man''s job?


    The fury in her rose even more as she spoke. ‘That b*stard!''


    Alexander was quick. Although he did not know the details, he quickly understood her meaning. "What


    did those old hags at the research institute say?"


    He had also dealt with the research institute a few times. The people there were generally older, and


    most were men. It was not umon for them to say such phrases.


    "It''s not the old hags. It''s a young degenerate!” Lily fumed. "For a man his age, his mindset is worse


    than those born 2000 years ago!"
