“No, there’s no need. I’ve already troubled you twice. I can catch a cab back myself since it’s still early.” Olivia hastily waved her hand in rejection.
“If so, I’ll accompany you to get a cab,” Edward replied.
Olivia kept silent.
Lily smiled when she looked at the two of them. She walked to Olivia, raised her hand, and patted her shoulder, “You should just let him accompany you!”
“Achoo!” Edward, standing at the side, could not hold back his sneeze.
Lily was speechless. She planned to go upstairs for a shower as soon as they left. At first, she noticed nothing, but Edward’s repeated sneezing made her realize how pungent her body smelled.
When Lily walked over to Olivia earlier, he could not stop sneezing, even though Lily was still far away. She could estimate how strong the smell would be if she got close to Alexander.
“I’ll go take a shower,” Lily said, and just as she was about to turn around, Alexander grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t hug me. I smell bad!” She whispered as she struggled to break free.
However, Alexander unexpectedly hugged her, lowered his head, and took a deep breath at her nape, “Who said it smells bad? The smell on you is good. It’s your smell, your unique smell.”
Lily was speechless again. She had to admit that his words were cheesy. She enjoyed hearing it, even if he was saying it to coax her.
