Chapter 294

"No, there’s no need.I’ve already troubled you twice.I can catch a cab back myself since it’s still early."
Olivia hastily waved her hand in rejection.

"If so, I'll accompany you to get a cab," Edward replied.

Olivia kept silent.Lily smiled when she looked at the two of them.

She walked to Olivia, raised her hand, and patted her shoulder, "You should just let him accompany
you!"

"Aachoo!"

Edward, standing at the side, could not hold back his sneeze.

Lily was speechless.She planned to go upstairs for a shower as soon as they left.

At first, she noticed nothing, but Edward’s repeated sneezing made her realize how pungent her body
smelled.

When Lily walked over to Olivia earlier, he could not stop sneezing, even though Lily was still far
away.She could estimate how strong the smell would be if she got close to Alexander.

"I'll go take a shower," Lily said, and just as she was about to turn around, Alexander grabbed her wrist
and pulled her into his arms.

"Don’t hug me.I smell bad!"

She whispered as she struggled to break free.



However, Alexander unexpectedly hugged her, lowered his head, and took a deep breath at her nape,
"Who said it smells bad? The smell on you is good.It’s your smell, your unique smell."

Lily was speechless again.She had to admit that his words were cheesy.She enjoyed hearing it, even if
he was saying it to coax her.

"l take it as a compliment, but I still have to take a shower.Otherwise, I'll not be able to bear it." She
said with a slight smile, raised her hands, and patted his cheek lightly.

Lily took a warm bath while thinking about the woodcarving shop.

Although that young lad was short-tempered, he did not seem like an unreliable person.

However, she knew nothing else about him apart from his phone number.

If she could not get in touch with him soon, she would need to put the new product’s development on
hold.

The earlier samples that she took were not sufficient for the experiment involving the new products.

Humans sometimes defied convention, and the more complex the obstacle, the more persistent one
became.

After some thought, she quickly got out of the bathtub, wiped herself dry, and put on her nightgown.

Meanwhile, Alexander had showered in a different bathroom.He was lying on the bed in his pajamas
and reading some documents.

Upon hearing movement, he put the papers aside and looked at her.

However, Lily did not pay him any attention.



She hurried to her side of the wardrobe but did not find what she was looking for.

She also checked the drawers but still failed to find them.

After some thought, she turned around and looked at Alexander.

Alexander raised his eyebrows when he noticed her eyes on him.He soon realized that her eyes were
unfocused, even though she was looking right at him.

She was still thinking about something.

"What are you looking for?" Alexander could not help but ask.

Before he could finish his question, she had already walked to the door, opened it, and gone
downstairs.

‘She left? She just left?!’ This was the first time he was completely ignored.

Alexander leaned on the headboard for a moment as he was stunned.It dawned on him that the day
had arrived when he, too, was ignored.

Moreover, the one who ignored him was his beloved wife.

While deciding to wait for her or go downstairs, he heard footsteps outside the door.It seemed that she
had returned.
