Olivia was very aware this time. She immediately opened her mouth to refuse, "That's not necessary. I can manage!"
Lily was speechless.
It was dark outside the car window, but it was apparent this was not the community’s entrance. Opposite her was an alley, which did not look safe to cross.
"Edward, you send her back. Send her right back to her front door," Alexander took the initiative to order as if he could sense Olivia's discomfort. "Go quick and come back right away."
"Yes, sir," Edward replied.
He stopped the car, undid the seat belt, and left. Olivia was flattered. "No, no, it’s not necessary."
Edward had already walked around the car to her door and opened it. "Miss Hart, please."
Things were already at this stage, so there was no point in refusing. Thus she could only bite the bullet and leave the car. "T-Then I'll leave first. Lily, you and Mr. Russell have a good rest.”
"Okay.” Lily nodded her head. After watching Olivia and Edward leave some distance away, she returned to her senses and felt something was wrong.
'Did Olivia say Mr. Russell and I should have a good rest?' Lily turned and saw Alexander staring at her with a rather weird expression.
"Surely you're not jealous?" Lily said this to test the waters.
True enough, Alexander "hmph” loudly. "Did you just realize that?"
