Lily yawned.She had never felt this tired ever.
Alexander also told her not to go to bed yet, so she decided to get up and took out the hair dryer to dry
her hair.
She did not have this habit while living with the Lodge family.
To make things easier when she was practicing her kickboxing and because most of the people at
home were men, no one knew how to manage her long hair, so she had always kept her hair short.
When she got into university, Lily allowed her hair to grow.
Moreover, at that time, Nathaniel told her that he loved girls with long hair, so she had stopped cutting
hers.
Before she knew it, her hair was already very long.
After she got together with Alexander, he always dried her hair for her and ensured that she did not go
to bed with wet hair.
She realized that someone who loves you would not care about what kind of hairstyle you had.
Instead, they would make sure that you were protected from harm's way.
When Alexander came out of the bathroom, he saw this beautiful scene.
Lily was sitting in front of the dressing table, with her head tilted to one side and her other hand holding
the hair dryer.
She was gently combing her smooth and fluffy hair with her fingers.
When the wind from the hair dryer blew a strand of hair onto her face, Alexander could almost smell the
gentle fragrance of her shampoo.
This scene was just breathtaking! Any ill feelings from the kick a while ago had disappeared entirely
and he could only adore his wife.
Alexander walked up and took the hair dryer from her hand, "Let me help."
Lily did not refuse his offer.She handed him the dryer and allowed him to dry her hair.
"I feel like getting a haircut," she said out of the blue.
"Why so sudden?" he asked casually and added, "If you prefer it shorter, why not?"
Lily smiled, "My hair is getting too long now.It’s just too much trouble to wash and dry it.I want to have a
haircut so I can manage it easier."
"If that’s the only reason, I can help you with the washing and drying part."
This was no big deal.
Besides, he quite enjoyed doing it for her.
"It’s not only because of that.My hair would sometimes get in the way while conducting
experiments.Even though I could always wear a cap over it, I still think cutting it shorter would be
better," she said after giving it some thought.
Since Lily brought up her experiments, Alexander was reminded of the incident from earlier, "Was this
what you were referring to? You went straight to the lab when we returned to Brown City."
"Yeah," she nodded, "Since we decided to give the public an explanation during the press conference,
we needed proof.I had planned to show them a sample, which would be our strongest proof.I had
estimated enough time for this, but who would’ve thought there was such a severe traffic jam."
Lily had never experienced using that road during peak hours, so she did not expect the congestion to
be that bad.
"I have another question," Alexander said after thinking fora while.
"What?" Lily asked.
She could not hear him clearly as the hair dryer was too loud.
Alexander stroked her head and ensured that her hair was mostly dry before he stopped and
unplugged the hair dryer.
He moved in front of her and looked at her, "I said I have another question for you."
"what is it?"
"You told the media that the only thing you’ve added was some herbs that could help with sleeping, and
it was specifically made for your grandfather.Of course, I believe you, but..."
He paused as he struggled to choose his words carefully so Lily did not misunderstand him of
suspecting her.
"Don’t worry.You can be honest with me," Lily said generously as she reassured him.
"If I remembered correctly, you told Henry that if you wanted to poison someone, you could do it
anytime, and at that moment, he did look like he had taken something wrong, so, were you..."
