Lily had met Chump twice before. She knew he was always with Heather and a hidden kickboxing master. Although he tried to hide his vitality, she could still sense the ability he had as a skilled kickboxer. Still, Lily only had a faint impression of him because he was not always around.
“Mr. Russell,” Chump stepped forward and greeted respectfully. Then he looked at Lily and said, “Mrs. Russell, Ms. Riggs has invited you to come over tomorrow.”
That stunned Lily. “Me?”
Initially, she thought Chump was here for Alexander, so it surprised her that Heather had invited her too. Alexander felt the same as well.
“Only her?” Alexander asked.
There was a hidden meaning behind his question. He meant to ask if Heather was inviting the two of them. Even if she was to invite only one of them, inviting Alexander seemed more plausible.
After all, she would communicate directly with Alexander regarding business or other things. There was little Heather and Lily could discuss besides kickboxing, after all.
“Yes,” Chump answered, nodding.
Alexander lowered his gaze. “Do tell her we aren’t going.”
His answer did not surprise Lily at all. She knew how protective he could be over her, and she was slowly getting used to it. Still, Alexander could sometimes be overprotective. After all, he did everything with Lily’s best interests at heart.
“Ms. Riggs said she doesn’t have ill intentions and that you, Mr. Russell, shouldn’t worry.” Heather had expected Alexander’s rejection beforehand and even told Chump how to convince the couple.
