Chapter 136: "Does the gender matter?" he asked.

Right. It was impossible to reason with a jealous husband.

"Okay, then," she said. "I'm honored that Mr. Russell is jealous because of me. However," she paused, cupping his face in her hands, "we're also decent human beings and should be considerate of others. I'm going to check on Jenny. Please, just be good for me, okay?" She pecked him lightly on the lips and went to make her call. Alexander couldn't refute her; she made perfect sense and even considered his ego. It was undeniably difficult to refuse her.

"Hey Jenny, are you there yet? How's the situation?" Lily asked. She wasn't sure if the client was genuine or someone Alexander had planted. Regardless, she wanted to ensure her friend's safety.

"How long do you need? Come back soon, and if you need anything, just call me," Lily repeated. Simultaneously, Alexander playfully squeezed her waist.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Stop it!"

"What did I do? I didn't utter a word or make a sound," he feigned innocence.

"Yes, you didn't make a sound, but your hands were busy," Lily retorted, mimicking his actions. She squeezed his waist. Alexander remained unfazed.

Lily stared at him in shock. Was he even human? How could he not react?

"See, I didn't even hit my leg against anything. Therefore, it's your problem, not mine," Alexander reasoned.

The nerve! Lily was not amused. She tried to get up, but he held her tighter, turning her around until he was pressing against her on the sofa. His eyes stared passionately into hers.

Lily could only gaze at his face as he leaned closer. Even from that distance, he looked perfect. God was truly unfair sometimes!

"Impressive, right?" He played with her hands. "Do you like what you see?"

"Yes, you look delectable!" Lily nodded, smiling and pulling him closer. Her longing for him intensified. All she wanted was to embrace him and never let go. Alexander hugged her tightly, murmuring her name repeatedly. Lily was in a daze, her mind filled only with Alexander.
