Chapter 213

Lily was confused when Olivia asked, "Wait! How many boyfriends do you have?" Lily stared at her, and Olivia immediately fell silent.

Olivia then frowned and wondered, "If we're not talking about the same person, then it wasn't your boyfriend who delivered things just now? That's impossible! He was carrying so many things, including your personal belongings, in the middle of the night. He didn't even say anything; he just gave them to me and left."

Listening to this, Lily began to understand. She glanced at Olivia and said, "Wait!"

She pulled out her phone. Lily had no photos of Edward and couldn't find any online. Glancing at Olivia, who was staring at her, Lily opened WhatsApp and texted Alexander: "Send me a photo of Edward."

If she guessed correctly, it was probably Edward who had arrived, not Alexander. If Alexander had come in person, he wouldn't have left after giving her things to Olivia. That wasn't his style. "Wait a minute!" Lily told Olivia.

After sending the message, Lily waited for Alexander's reply. Since Alexander had asked Edward to deliver her things, he was still awake. Lily didn't know that not only was he awake, but he was parked on the road near the lab.

The black Porsche sat quietly. Alexander sat in the car, eyes closed. Knowing Lily was up late, he couldn't sleep alone at home. Since the weather had suddenly turned cold, he'd come to give her some of her belongings.

He knew the importance of the final stage of her experiment, so he hadn't disturbed her and had only instructed Edward to deliver the items.

His phone rang twice. Alexander opened his eyes, glanced at the text, and frowned.

Edward was oblivious in the driver's seat, but his instinctive vigilance still sent a chill down his spine. He glanced in the rearview mirror, met his boss's deep, unpredictable gaze, and was stunned. "Boss?"

Staring at him for a moment, Alexander looked back at his phone, confirming his wife had requested a photo of his assistant, not himself. His eyes darkened, and his voice deepened, "Edward, turn around."

Edward was perplexed. "Turn around!" Alexander repeated. Edward sensed the impatience in his tone. He didn't know why, but he obeyed and turned around. His boss raised his phone and took a picture.

Edward was even more confused. "Boss?" Cold sweat broke out on his neck. Why had Mr. Russell taken his picture? Was he about to be sent on some special mission and afraid he might not return?

Soon, Lily's phone buzzed. She opened it and saw Edward's headshot. The close-up photo was clear enough to see the lines on Edward's face. When she looked closely, it matched Olivia's description: a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. He also looked rather stern.

Feeling more confident that her instincts were right, she showed the photo to Olivia. "Was that him?" Olivia nodded immediately. "Yes, that's him! Is he not your boyfriend?!"
