Chapter 1271


    Alexander initially did not catch on to what Edward was talking about and realizedter on that Olivia


    got jealous and threw a tantrum. Although Edward looked like a cat had scratched his face, he seemed


    to have enjoyed it.


    Alexander told him that he deserved it for having no self-respect, but at the same time, he could not


    help but think that Lily had never gotten jealous of him, not even once.


    When Edward touched his scratched face with a smug grin, he told Alexander, "She did this because


    she cares about me!"


    That made Alexander wonder if Lily did not care about him ording to Edward’s logic.


    ‘That''s impossible! We''ve been through much together, and if anyone imed that Lily doesn''t care


    about me, I wouldn''t believe it. However, something seems amiss, doesn''t it?’


    Like now, a mosquito had left a bite on his neck, exactly where a woman might get suspicious, but Lily


    was sure the culprit was a mosquito.


    ‘Lily has spent almost every day with Olivia, so why is her way of thinking so different? Why didn''t she


    suspect it was a hickey?’


    After receiving the precious nt, Lily was so happy that she spent a long time studying it in the small


    garden before returning to the house. She passed the yroom, saw Alexander ying with their son,


    said hi to them, and left to take a bath.


    Since Lily was covered in dirt, she did not want to hug Galen and decided to keep himpany after


    getting cleaned up.


    She filled the bathtub with warm water and immersed herself in it. She put a few drops of self-made


    essential oil in the water, and her body soon rxed as the aroma filled the air.


    Lily thought of agarwood and could hardly contain her joy. She picked up her phone to call Olivia,


    wanting to tell her about it. The phone rang for quite a while before Olivia answered, sounding


    somewhat nasally as if she was suppressing it.


    "Hello..."


    Lily was excited and did not notice the woman sounding strange, rattling, ‘ Liv, I got my hands on


    something cool. Guess what it is?"


    "What is it?" Olivia asked.


    "Take a guess!"


    "I have no idea. Must be some precious raw materials? You will only consider them as something cool."


    Lily held up a palmful of water andughingly said, "You know me best! I received a pot of Agarwood.


    Agarwood! I tried to get my hands on one for so long, and I finally got it today. Although it''s not a big


    one, I think I can grow it," she said gleefully.


    "Agarwood? But it’s not suitable for the weather here, isn’t it?"


    "I thought so too, but if someone could grow it and have it sent to me as a gift, I think there must be a


    way. Besides, there are methods to adjust the temperature, sunlight, and moisture. I''m going to give it a


    try!"


    "Yes, you do that."


    Lily finally sensed that something was off. "Liv, what are you doing? Why do you sound so listless?"


    Olivia''s voice grew much livelier and louder all of a sudden. "What?! No! I’m listening. Carry on. We''re


    talking about agarwood, after all."


    "Yes, are you not happy with it?"


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ‘Whenever I brought any precious nts or rare materials to the studio, she would be thrilled. However,


    Liv''s reaction today seems a bit lukewarm"


    "I''m happy. Of course, I am! Are you bringing it to the studio tomorrow?"


    "Don''t be silly! This is such a precious nt. I only feel safe if I take care of it in my garden and not


    leave it out of sight!"


    As Lily finished, she heard a low grunt from the other end, obviously not made by Olivia. ‘Is that a


    man?’


    Taken aback, Lily pulled her phone away to look at it. She thought about it and asked, "Liv, is Edward


    beside you now?"
