Chapter 604
Lily whirled around and stepped over to look at Noah. He had no idea what was going on but was
willing to help Lawrence keep her from leaving if that was what it took to get her to join. them. As far as
the society was concerned, everyone was on the same side, so he did not try to stop them. He was just
waiting for Lily’s reaction.
When Lily started to approach Noah, he was taken aback. Quite a few people were watching them, and
he did not want to embarrass himself by flinching when she came close.
All Noah could do was drop his trembling voice to give the impression that he was not afraid. Then he
looked her in the eye and asked, “What do you want?”
He still remembered how she had roughed him up not too long ago. The recollection of how this witch
nearly broke one of his arms was still fresh in his mind, so he eyed her warily as though she were a
monster.
Lily did not answer his question. Instead, she gave him a pleasant grin and reached for his jacket
pocket. Noah could not believe his eyes when he saw her pull a tiny perfume bottle out of his back
pocket. This was the perfume he had watched her create.
The perfume had a characteristic aroma, the kind that may become addictive. Noah carried it because
he intended to study it at home after the dust had settled. He did not expect her to snatch it away like
that.
“Why don’t I present a small gift to you? I hope you won’t think it’s too plain,” Lily handed the gift to
Lawrence using both her hands to show respect.
Even though there was still some distance between the tip of his nose and the bottle, he could already
smell a powerful floral aroma. However, it did not just smell floral. There was also a refreshing scent,
similar to the smell of trees in the morning, and it gave him a renewed sense of energy.
“Did
you make this?” Lawrence’s expression was unreadable, but his glance at her was serious. Lily shook
her head, “No, it was a joint effort between Mr. Richards and me,” She paused and pointed to the door
behind her, “We did it together in the workshop back at the house. Mr. Richards was considerate and
had already prepared everything I needed, even tools I’d neglected.”
Lawrence shifted his gaze to Noah after hearing what Lily said. He only looked at him for a while before
eyeing Lily again, “I know very well what he’s capable of. You, on the other hand, I’m not quite sure.
However, after this, I also have a rough idea about you. I love the scent of this ‘floral‘ perfume, and I’ll
take it with me.”
“Mr. Adler…” Noah called out to him when he realized that Lawrence was taking what was supposed to
be his.
“Not willing to part with it?” Lawrence raised an eyebrow and asked.
Noah could only say, “Of course not! If you like it, please take it with you.”
Lawrence nodded and turned back to Lily, “So, you’re still planning to leave and reject my offer?”
