Lily stopped but poked Alexander after realizing he had no intention of speaking. "That’s it."
"Oh," Alexander responded.
"Oh?!" She raised her eyebrows, clearly dissatisfied with his reaction. "Just 'oh?!'"
Alexander immediately laughed when he saw her face. "What else can I say? You have your idea, you’ve prepared everything, and you have strong support and reinforcements. Besides praising my wife for being so capable, what else can I say?"
Lily scrunched her nose and said, "Why do I hear a hint of sarcasm behind your words? I told you I didn't mean to hide it from you. We discussed this not long ago, and on Dr. Blanc's side, he… You know what I mean."
Alexander was an exception when it came to secrets. Lily had nothing to hide when it came to him.
"I understand." He nodded and sighed faintly.
Feeling that something was wrong, she looked at him suspiciously. "Is there something you want to say? Why does your reaction feel so flat?"
His reaction was a little too calm, as if he was hiding something from her. However, Alexander was just putting up a front. With Dr. Blanc’s and his superior’s support, Alexander felt much more at ease.
If the higher-ups had their eyes on this organization, it would be much more convenient for any restrictions or arrests. No matter how powerful the organization was, they were still people with families to go home to. The tides had changed.
The corner of his lips curled upward as he tilted his head to look at her. After some consideration, he said, "I also have something to tell you, but you can't get angry."
