Chapter 552 Lily laughed while hugging the bouquet of roses. Alexander did not feel any sense of
accomplishment, and he noticed that her laugh was not because of receiving flowers from him. Instead,
it felt more like she was mocking him.
His face darkened, and he grabbed her on her waist and pulled her closer, “You don‘t like them?”
“Of course I do. They‘re beautiful!” She laughed and nodded.
“Are you sure?” He questioned again.
“Yes, why?” she nodded more convincingly this time.
“Then, what are you laughing at?”
Lily only laughed louder when she heard him ask.
“Stop laughing!” Alexander demanded and kissed her full on the lips.
This was the best way to end her mocking laughter. He was a bit annoyed with himself. A wave of
helplessness rushed over him, and although they were only getting started, it did not seem to be going
well. Should he continue with his plan?
Alexander was regretting his decision now. He should not have taken advice from Edward. That guy
had no experience with women. This was what happened when two men without many experiences
with relationships tried to come up with romantic ideas. They searched for suggestions online and
chose those that obviously were not very good.
After the long and passionate kiss ended, Lily could feel her body temperature rising. This also
succeeded in stopping her laughter. “Thank you for the flowers. I really love them,” she stared at the
slightly crushed flowers in her arms and whispered.
Alexander was finally satisfied when he heard her say that. This was the reaction he had wanted.
“Shall we leave then? It‘s getting colder,” he asked her softly while leading her to the direction of his
car. Alexander suddenly recalled his plan, “Wait a minute, let me show you something.”
Lily felt he was not his usual self today as he released her hands and took out something from his coat
pocket. They looked like... sparklers. Sparklers were supposed to be long and straight. Still, because
Alexander took it out from his pocket, they were now folded in two different angles. They reminded Lily
of withering sunflowers with their heads dangling.
Alexander did not expect this either. He had a mixture of shock and confusion on his face when he saw
how the sparklers turned out. Lily wanted to laugh again when she noticed his funny expression.
However, she knew this would only buurt his pride, so she swallowed it with a cough and
added, “Are these sparklers? Do you want to light them up?”
Alexander immediately nodded, “Sure, let‘s do it.”
Though, he was unsure if they would light up. His original plan was to light these sparklers up as a
signal for Edward, and when he saw them, he would know what to do. Yet, Alexander had folded them
accidentally while keeping them in his coat pocket. He wondered if they would be able to light up as
planned.
