His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1257

Alexander did not want Lily to worry too much. After all, pregnant mothers were relatively weaker, and overthinking would not be suitable for her health.

However, Lily was too bright. She could figure out many things without needing him to tell her about them.

Sighing, he said, “I’ll find out about Mike’s situation while you stop overthinking the matter. Since this is how the project is, we should stop it. I’ll withdraw my investment, and you’ll leave the team. Let’s see how they’re going to move forward after that!”

“But…”

“No buts!” Alexander placed both his hands on Lily’s shoulders. That was his first time stopping her from doing something in such a severe manner.

In the past, he would support her no matter what she wanted to do, but he could not do that this time around.

“Although we’re unsure what they’re up to, it’s a given that this is a dangerous project. It might involve more things and parties than you could’ve imagined. I know you’re always interested in finding the answers to something, but it’s different this time. Listen to me and stay away from the project, alright?”

Lily looked at Alexander, noticing the determination and sincerity in his gaze. Ever since they got together, this was his first time stopping her from doing something so firmly.

After a moment of silence, she made up her mind. “Okay, I’ll quit the team!”

Upon getting an answer from her, Alexander breathed a sigh of relief and looked less tense. He hugged her tightly in his embrace and said softly, “I’m not trying to stop you from doing something you like, but you must know that nothing is more important to me than your safety!”

Lily knew he had stopped her because he cared about her. Otherwise, she would have disagreed with his request more quickly. However, Lily was still worried even though she promised to quit the team.

“Do you think they’ll stop once I quit the team and when you withdraw your investment? Aren’t you curious about what they’re trying to achieve through this experiment?” Lily looked at Alexander, frowning as her eyes were full of puzzlement.
