After Alexander completed his task and started the car, he saw his wife give him a meaningful gaze. He instantly felt subconscious. “Brittany’s family and mine are family friends. She’s like a sister to me.”
When Lily saw how uncomfortable he looked as he tried to explain to her, she could not help but laugh as she asked, “Sister?”
He thought the word “sister” sounded weird. Coughing lightly, he said, “Sister, of course. I don’t have that kind of relationship with her.”
“What kind of relationship?” she asked quickly.
Alexander was stunned.
Lily did not want to tease him, but it was the first time she had seen him act this way. She found it fascinating. The more uncomfortable he was, the more she felt like teasing him.
He did not have to explain himself. Given his status, even if he did not make any moves, all kinds of ladies would throw themselves at him. He was good-looking, after all. It was quite something.
“Lily,” Alexander said helplessly.
He sighed and was about to say more, but Lily waved and said, “It’s okay. There’s no need to be so nervous. Who doesn’t have a history? I understand. I understand.”
How she waved her hand and looked like she did not care frustrated him. “What history?”
“Just drive. There’s no need to dwell on small things like these.” Lily looked gracious, implying that she was not petty and that he did not have to worry about her.
However, her attitude made Alexander unhappy. “You’re not jealous at all?”
“You just said that she’s like a sister to you. Why would I be jealous?” She blinked her eyes, looking innocent. What she said was true, but did she not feel the slightest discomfort?
