His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 565

While Lily packed, Alexander could not help himself and hugged her from behind. “What about I come with you?”

Although she was only traveling within the country this time, Alexander had been on high alert since Lily’s kidnapping in Westwood. The idea of her going on a business trip repelled him.

“What if I don’t go on the trip at all?” Lily turned her head and half-joked.

“Really?” Alexander’s gaze lit up at the sound of that. Even the pitch of his voice went higher.

“You’re so silly!” Lily pecked his cheek before bending down to continue packing her luggage. “I’m just going there for two days, and I’ll be back soon. Plus, I’m not even going overseas this time. It’s just Kingsland, the hub of politics and cultural activities. It’s nearby too. You’re not afraid that something bad will happen to me again, right?”

“Of course I am!” Alexander did not hide his concern for her at all.

Lily was right, but he would miss her presence and did not want to feel separated. Lily froze, not expecting him to be so frank about his concern and yearning for her. She stopped whatever she was doing and turned to hug him. “Silly boy, I can defend myself!”

Alexander knew she could defend herself. He had a rough guess about it after they returned from Westwood.

Lily said nothing much about the kidnapping, but Alexander knew the kidnappers were not just casual rebels. One could say Lily was lucky to come out of such a place unharmed, but that would not make sense.

Since she did not say much about the topic, Alexander did not bug her about the details. It was usual for her to know a little self-defense anyway because she was part of the Lodge family. He assumed she had learned kickboxing since she was young, but he was unsure how skillful she was in combat.
