Lily unconsciously glanced at Alexander before answering Olivia, "Nope, why?"
Olivia sighed in relief, "Looks like he doesn’t have your number."
"Yeah," Lily agreed.
"He called me yesterday asking if I have your number.I asked him what for, but he refused to tell
me.However, he sounded uneasy, and I was worried he’d cause you trouble.You didn’t give him your
contact details, right?" Olivia asked again, trying to ease her worry.
Lily rolled her eyes and commented, "Why would I do that? I’m already kind enough not to have
blocked him."
"I’m glad to hear that.I didn’t give Nate your number either, so don’t worry.Still, with today’s technology,
if he genuinely wanted to obtain your number, he would be able to.I feel so relieved after informing you
about this.It’s good that you're aware that he’s looking for you.I was worried he might be up to no
good."
Once Olivia got off the phone with Nathaniel, she immediately called Lily to inform her about this.
Olivia tried asking Nathaniel why he was looking for Lily, but he only kept asking for Lily’s number
urgently.
Judging from his usual way of handling things, it was not good, so Olivia refused to give him Lily’s
number.However, this was Nathaniel, after all.He would not give up that easily.
"It's all right.Let’s not worry about him for now," Lily suggested.
She was not afraid of Nathaniel, even if he was looking for trouble.Lily knew him enough to know that
he was not capable of anything dangerous.
"Okay, you take care of yourself.I can’t wait for you to get back."
Olivia was unaware that Lily was with Alexander, so she kept reminding Lily to be careful.
"Don’t worry.I'll be back soon."
Lily hung up and noticed that Alexander had been staring at her and had not touched his food the
entire time.
She touched her face and asked, "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
"Is there a problem?" Alexander asked straightforwardly.
Lily shook her head.
"No, everything’s fine."
She realized she did not care much about Nathaniel anymore.
Maybe it was because so many things had happened in between, or they had broken up a long time
ago, and she did not love him anymore.It was just like a hazy dream.
After waking up, Lily realized that this person had just been a small part of her life, and there was no
need to dwell on bygones.It did not matter how much he tried to make a scene to attract her attention.
To Lily, he was just making a fool of himself.She had no feelings left for him whatsoever.
Alexander did not push it as he believed what she said.
Instead, he asked, "Are you full?"
Although Lily had not eaten a lot, the stew was filling, and she had finished the steak he had cut for
her.It was plenty.
After settling the bill, Alexander and Lily got into the car and were ready to leave.
"Are we going back to Bryxton?" Lily asked as she buckled her seat belt.
Alexander was about to answer her question when his phone rang.
For the past few days, when Alexander was in Roseroot, his mobile phone had been unusually quiet.
Lily was surprised as he was always swamped.
If it were not for him bringing her out today while on a trip, she would have thought he was trying to
change his image from a scary and hardworking tycoon to a wealthy playboy.
The real reason why Alexander’s phone was so quiet these few days was that he had muted it.He did
not want his work to interrupt the two of them spending quality time together.
If it were something important or work-related, he would answer it immediately.He ignored the rest.
Alexander’s phone was ringing now because it was not the usual phone call.
Instead, it was a video call through Whatsapp.His phone was next to him, so they both simultaneously
looked down at the screen.
The caller ID said, "Brittany."
