Hearing this, Alexander looked perturbed and said, “Fat chance is all he’s got!”
Mike was speechless, and so was Lily.
Palming her belly, she could imagine how much Alexander would dote on his daughter if she gave birth to a girl.
He waited outside the delivery room, expecting Galen to be a girl, and was shocked to learn that she had given birth to a boy.
Alexander gradually developed a loving fatherly relationship with Galen because he was the firstborn child and an energetic boy who enjoyed laughing. The man was thrilled to learn that Lily was pregnant with twins and was sure he would get at least one daughter.
He was naturally upset that Mike was trying to get him to marry off his yet-to-be-born daughter.
Mike could say anything, but Alexander would become upset if he brought up marriage.
“Can you two stop squabbling over this?” Trying to smooth things over, Lily changed the subject. “I learned you’re giving my studio an additional order for the next quarter. Is the demand that high?”
“You can’t handle it?” Mike looked at her with raised brows.
“I can, but I worry you’ll be stuck with too many products.”
The economy of the continent of Azalea has been rough lately, and Lily's orders from other clients have gone down. Mike was the only client who kept on ordering more perfumes.
It was good for Lily to be getting more orders and making more money, but seeing the overall situation, she wondered if Mike truly had such a huge sales volume.
“Relax. You don’t think I’ll fail to settle the payment, do you? I’m only trying to make more money for my son’s future marriage,” Mike said half-jokingly, and he gave Alexander a sidelong glance.
