Chapter 296

When Lily laughed, Alexander grabbed her chin, and this caused her to be surprised.She blinked at
him when she heard him ask, "Is he so interesting?"

He narrowed his eyes at her.

"U-Um, no, not really," Lily stammered.

She was only trying to solve her wood issue, so why was Alexander suddenly jealous? She was not
even thinking about that guy.

Alexander could be too possessive sometimes.

"So, he isn't interesting now? Didn’t you say that he was a while ago?"

Alexander was difficult to deal with.Lily was not taking this seriously until now.It looked like he was
heartbroken this time around.

"What I meant was his wood carvings were interesting.Yup, his wood carvings!"

She lifted her head to observe him closely, "Remember the two wooden dolls I brought home the other
day? You even said they were cute.You said they looked like a pair of twins, right? "I would think of us
whenever I see them.You're the most interesting person I’ve ever met, and I’m only interested in you!"

Her survival instincts kicked in as she tried to salvage the situation.

Moments later, Alexander’s serious expression broke into a small but noticeable smile.

Lily quickly took the opportunity to plant a kiss on his cheek, "You’re so unreasonable sometimes.Why
would you be jealous of a carpenter I’ve only met once?"



Alexander also realized he had overreacted, so he shrugged, "Who said I was?"

"You weren't? You looked like you were ready to eat someone just a while ago.Are you sure you
weren’t jealous?"

Lily narrowed her eyes at him and teased.

"Are you sure it was my gaze that could eat someone? Not something else? Are you extending an
invitation to me?"

He felt embarrassed by her teasing, so he lifted her abruptly from the chair.

"ahh!"

Lily was surprised as she felt her body lifted into the air.

Out of reflex, she immediately placed her arms around Alexander's neck, "I didn’t mean that, so stop
twisting my words."

"Really? Then what did you mean?"

Alexander placed Lily on the bed, rested his forehead on hers, and looked into her eyes while
speaking.He preferred talking to her from this distance.

They were so close, and it made him feel like Lily was there, by his side.

"Alex..."

Lily whispered as she tightened her arms around his neck, "There’s no one in the world who could
compare to you."



Initially, Alexander only wanted to tease her, but after hearing her honest confession, his eyes turned a
darker shade of brown.He stared straight into her amber eyes and caressed her face gently as he
whispered hoarsely, "Will you always think of me that way?"

Lily could not understand why Alexander constantly felt insecure in their relationship.His social status
and wealth made him an ideal partner for her.He was always so considerate and caring toward her that
it made Lily feel like she was living in a dream world instead of reality.

"Of course I will! Always!"

She nodded and emphasized, "I will always think of you this way.There’s no one like you in this
world.You’re the best, Alexander Russell! The best!"

Lily moved to tug his head toward her gently and pressed her lips on his to show him how much she
meant it.

Alexander let out alow groan and deepened the kiss.
