Mike had no understanding of medicinal herbs. He only had some experience with and knowledge of commercial fragrances, at best. However, he was particularly persistent in participating in this project and was even optimistic about its prospects. It was indeed strange.
"Maybe he thinks he can earn money from this," Lily said in an unsure tone.
Just as she was about to continue, Galen had already caught the ball and ran back to her.
"Mommy, mommy! Throw…"
‘Does he want me to throw the ball again?’ Lily gently tossed the ball again, and with a giggle, the little boy chased after it.
Alexander watched this quietly.
"Don't you think playing with your son is similar to playing with a dog?" He couldn't help but jibe.
Although he didn't want to compare his son to a dog, watching how Lily played with Galen made it hard for him to think otherwise.
"Huh?" Lily raised an eyebrow before turning to look at her son, who was grinning from ear to ear. "It is, but so what? He seems happy!"
Alexander couldn't refute it. ‘It seems to be true.’
"By the way, Mike came to see me today, too," Lily said, looking up at him.
"Did he try to get you back on the project?" He guessed.
The experiment had reached a plateau that would only progress with Lily's help. Therefore, be it Thompson or the new investor, Mike Corden, they needed her to return to the laboratory to complete this project.
"So, what did you say?” Alexander sat across from her and stretched his legs casually. He, too, was tired from working so much.
