When the couple and their son reached home, they saw the black Volkswagen Atlas parked within the compound and knew their company had arrived.
“Mr. Corden is always on time, isn’t he?” Lily said with a chuckle when she saw the car.
Alexander carried Galen and got out of the car. Then he held out a hand to support Lily and said unhappily, “Of course he is. He’s after something of ours.”
“Aren’t business deals supposed to benefit both sides?” Lily said lowly.
Over the last six months, Mike Corden had frequented their house, seemingly spending most of his time in the country. Although the core of his business was still based overseas, he had spent more time in Hyderland.
Alexander even suspected Mike was gradually moving his business back to the country. Alexander slowly let down his guard when the man showed no signs of doing so except forming a long-term partnership with Lily’s studio by giving her a large order.
Besides, since Galen was born, he enjoyed Nick Corden’s company and played with him whenever he came, and the two families became closer.
Alexander lowered his gaze to Lily’s slightly bulging tummy. “You know I wasn’t talking about that.”
Lily found Alexander amusing yet ridiculous, so she palmed her belly and shot him a look.
Alexander was about to respond when Mike’s voice sounded from behind him. “Aren’t you being protective of your daughter a bit too prematurely? She’s not even born yet!”
“Yet you keep thinking of her knowing so!” Alexander turned and glared at Mike.
It all started when Mike jokingly proposed a marriage between the two families after having a few drinks.
Not taking it seriously, Alexander laughingly said he was drunk as both of them only had sons. However, Mike pointed casually at Lily, who was drinking tea aside, and said the marriage could be possible if one of the twins she was carrying were a girl.
