Chapter 1294


    Lily''s feet were only slightly red, and she was not that fragile. Her feet only pushed against her shoes,


    probably because of the little weight she had gained or the pregnancy edema. Still, her shoes were


    fine, but Alexander picked up on them.


    His actions moved Lily, as it was often the intention behind the gift that touched one’s heart.


    Afterward, she removed her old shoes and put on the new pair. When she wiggled her toes around,


    she could feel the shoes were soft and were just the perfect size. It was extremelyfortable.


    Seeing how she continued to wear them, Alexander smiled. “ How are they?”


    "I love them!" She nodded affirmatively and praised him, "You know how to buy a gift, all right!”


    "Really?" He raised his eyebrows. "Is this better than that pot of...what do you call them, agarwood of


    yours?"


    Lily was speechless. ‘This man! It has been a few days, and he''s still upset about that?’


    "I like them both equally!" She said after thinking about it.


    "You like them both?" It was evident he was dissatisfied with Lily''s answers and frowned.


    If it were not for the fact that he was driving, Lily would have reached out to try and smooth out his


    brows. "All right, all right.


    These are the best gifts you''ve given me, and they fit me perfectly. Are you happy now?”


    Alexander''s lips curled upward when he heard this, but he still tilted his head slightly. "Why do you


    sound so forced?"


    “Enough, don''t push your luck!" She shot him a look. Then from the corner of her eyes, she noticed


    another small gift box in the back seat. Her box of shoes hid it, so she did not see it before.


    "There''s another gift?"


    Alexander nced back and said, “That''s not yours.”


    "Is it for Galen? I knew I won''t be the only one receiving gifts!"


    Alexander happened to stop at a red light and turned to look at Lily smilingly. "Are you jealous?"


    Of course, he knew she was not jealous of her son, but he still found it cute that she was pouting.


    "I didn''t buy it," He continued, "It was a gift from Mike."


    "Mike?"


    When Alexander brought up Mike''s name, Lily immediately thought of what had happened today. "By


    the way, did you know that after La Beaute Group pulled out from the project and withdrew the capital"


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    "Mike invested in the project, didn''t he?” At this moment, the light turned green, and Alexander


    continued to drive.


    "You know about that?!" Lily was surprised. She had just found out about this today, but it seemed like


    Alexander had already known beforehand." When did you find out? Did you know about this before?”


    "No, he came to see me today." After pondering for a while, he said, "We''ll talk about this when we''re


    home.”


    There were better times to talk about work since they were on the road. After all, Alexander might get


    distracted. Lily understood this and nodded before falling into silence. The drive home was quiet, but


    Lily could not wait to return.


    After all, she had devoted more than half a year to this project. She threw all her painstaking efforts and


    energy into this experiment. To be frank, she was reluctant to quit, but there was no way she would


    continue after knowing there was a problem.


    Now that Mike had jumped on the bandwagon alongside Thompson''s constant persuasion, even


    Austin’s nonsense made her feel she could not withdraw from the project so easily. She knew it was


    not the end.


    When they reached home, Alexander knew how impatient she was. Still, he could not ignore their


    grinning son, who had rushed over. He quickly picked up Galen and turned to look at Lily. "Shall we talk


    in the yroom?"


    Lily was quiet for a moment, but when she saw Galen''s innocent smile, she could only nod. “Sure.”
