His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 479

Chapter 479

She did not argue with him. It was a wise choice to rest there as it was already late at night. However, she dared not shut her eyes. She feared those terrible sounds and scenes in the dream would reappear if she closed her eyes. She held Alexander's hand to prevent him from leaving, "Chat with me for a while."

"What do you want to talk about?" He sat down at the bedside and looked at her tenderly.

"Anything is fine! Why don't you tell me more about yourself?" Lily requested after some thought. She had known him for a long time but never asked him anything about himself. She only knew that the Russell family was big, but she had never met them since they got together.

"About me?" He laughed. "There's nothing special!"

'Oh my, he was too modest to claim there was anything special even though Alexander's life could be the subject of a biography. If his life was unremarkable, what about the lives of other regular people? A simple life?" "Then, tell me about your family." Lily adjusted to a more comfortable position and asked, "You've never told me about your family. Who are your family members? We're planning to have a wedding soon. It's only right to meet them, right?"

"You'll meet them soon, but it's not important. They are all irrelevant people. What's important is that you are with me!" His voice remained gentle, but his gaze became deep. His words sounded fine, but Lily felt something was out of place. What did he mean by irrelevant people? Those were his family.

Alexander curled his lips as he could guess her thought," Are you thinking that they were my family members?" "Yeah." She nodded. Could it be that they aren't?

"They are in terms of blood. However, would you call them family if they had been sending various assassins to kill you and replace all means to frame you since you were young?" His tone was monotonous and without the slightest fluctuation, but Lily could hear the coldness in his words.

His words were like icy cold knives that would not produce the slightest sound even if they penetrated the flesh. However, they were cold to the bone. The piercing pain could be felt only when the chill spread. 'Oh my God! What did he go through when he was young?!"

Everyone said the new head of the Russell family was a cruel, bloody, and brutal man. Who knew what he went through? If all those happened, how did he survive?

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not as great as you think." He lovingly scratched her nose and chuckled, "When you grow up in that environment, you need to get used to some things. Survival instinct is something that you learn naturally in the Russell family." Alexander briefly paused before continuing, "There's no need to be afraid. Now, I'm the head of the family. No one dares to do anything to you. Besides, we don't live in the Russell family house. Everything's fine.”

"Okay!" Lily nodded hard and put his hand on her cheek," I'm not afraid as I have you by my side!"

Her whole-hearted trust warmed Alexander's heart. She was just like an obedient kitten who was lovely, cute, and well-behaved. She truly believed him and was not afraid of him. She was also not a gold digger who clung to him.

Lily was invaluable to him. She was his precious treasure, and he was willing to protect her with all his heart.

"Go to sleep!" He hooked her finger and tickled her cheek. Lily smiled and shrank her neck to hide from his finger. After a while, she felt her eyelid become heavier and gradually fell asleep.

Alexander looked at her smiling face, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at her with conflicted eyes. Although her mumbling during her dream was vague, he could hear her calling her father and mother. She was obviously dreaming about them.
