‘If her family stays there, her family isn‘t doing well financially then.‘
“No.” Alexander shook his head. “It‘s her co–worker.”
“Co–worker?” Brandon widened his eyes in disbelief, not expecting to hear that at all. “She was so...”
Brandon saw how anxious and panicky Lily was earlier, which looked like something had happened to
her relatives, but it was just her co–worker? He did not know co–workers had such good relationships
in the workplace these days. “They‘re good friends,” Alexander explained, knowing Brandon‘s doubts.
Brandon gave him a thumbs up. “She‘s an amazing friend!
Alexander rolled his eyes at Brandon before saying in a serious tone again, “We can‘t keep you here
any longer for real now. Edward can‘t send you back either, so you need to drive yourself home. Go to
the porch and pick a car out yourself.”
Out of the conversations they had the entire night, Alexander‘s words right now were the best thing
Brandon had heard. “Sure! I got this!” Brandon nodded and walked over. When he reached Alexander‘s
side, he stopped and threw the latter a glance. “There‘s still something I want to ask.”
“What is it?” Alexander gave him a sideway look and asked, his brow raised.
Brandon turned to look at the stairs behind him first, and when he made sure that Lily was not coming
down yet, he turned back again to ask Alexander, “What is your wife‘s surname?”
Before Alexander got mad, Brandon explained himself first, “You don‘t want to hear me calling her
‘beautiful‘ or ‘angel‘ every time I see her next time, do you? I wouldn‘t mind calling her that, but you
can‘t say that I‘m teasing her.”
Alexander could not stand him anymore.
Lily‘s surname was not a secret anyway. The news of their marriage would be published all over social
media soon.
“Her surname is Christian.”
“Okay!” Brandon gestured an okay with his fingers then left happily. As he was told, he picked a car
from the porch and drove away. Rubbing his belly, he felt that today‘s visit was worthwhile. He
managed to meet Lily, got to know her surname, and even got the chance to have dinner made by
Alexander. At this moment, life was worth living to him again.
In retrospect, all the incidents in the past did not matter anymore! It was just that Brandon could not
think of anyone with the surname ‘Christian‘ among the people he knew. ‘Could it be that she really
came from an ordinary family?‘
Lily came downstairs after changing into a pair of casual clothes. The departure of Brandon did not
surprise her at all. In fact, it would be weirder if he had stayed under such circumstances.
“How is it?” The only thing she cared about now was Olivia‘s situation.
“They‘re almost done with the rescue, and all the injured ones were sent to the hospital. As the
situation is quite complicated, they are still confirming everyone‘s identity. We can head over to the
hospital to take a look now though.”
That was exactly what Lily wanted. Without any hesitation, she agreed, “Let‘s make"
