Chapter 382

Alexander raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, "Do you think I should remove her from my blacklist?"

"Of course!" Lily agreed, nodding. While working, she continued, "You said your families have been friends for decades. You can't just cut her off like this, can you? Blocking her—are you not going to see her or her family again? It's better to talk things out. Blocking her is really"

"What is it?" His voice grew colder. He rose from his seat and stood behind her.

"Nothing!"

Lily poked the Marseille soap, enjoying its smoothness. Looking at her fingertip, she laughed. "I just think it's a little childish."

Lily thought, The girl cried, and he blacklisted her number and blocked her on everything. Could they really never see each other again? That's impossible! Having lived with the Lodge family for years, she understood the dynamics of wealthy families and their extensive social connections. Their relationship couldn't be severed so easily based on a single incident. Especially since this time, there was no conflict of interest. Brittany simply had a tantrum. That was all.

Lily objectively voiced her opinion, unaware that Alexander's expression had darkened. "You're calling me childish?"

She finally realized something was wrong; his voice was close. He's behind me? She turned to find him standing behind her, his expression furious. Is he mad?

"Uh, I'm not saying you're childish. I just mean the young lady"

Before she could finish, he pulled her into an embrace and kissed her, silencing her. He didn't want to hear anything she said.

"Mmm" Lily's eyes widened. Weren't we having a serious discussion? Why is he kissing me? Okay, fine, but why does he look like I forced this kiss? He looks so angry. Only when Alexander released her could she guess the reason for his anger.

"Are you too embarrassed to talk to her again because you blocked her first?"

She thought, That's probably it. He blocked her first, so talking to her would be embarrassing! Why are men like this? Alexander was speechless.

Just as he was about to reprimand her for her lack of awareness, his phone rang—a video call with an urgent ringtone.

"You unblocked her already?" Lily assumed it was Brittany.

She's stubborn! Alexander frowned, knowing he hadn't unblocked her. However, video calls were rare, so he reached for his phone.
