His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 565

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.

"I know you learned kickboxing from the Lodge family, but you must know that there are other threats in this world besides punches and kicks that could take you by surprise and hurt you a hundredfold more," Alexander said seriously after composing himself.

That was the main reason for his concern. Although nothing like what happened in Westwood would occur in Kingsland, that was also dangerous. This time, the Perfumers' Society especially invited Lily over, which Alexander believed was not out of good intentions. His concern was apparent.

Lily laughed and raised her hand to caress the corner of his eyes before gently flattening the frown he had on his face. "I know that. I might not be the most intelligent person, but I know how to be cautious with people.

"Plus, I'll only be there for two days and stay at the place you chose. I'm only going to the Perfumers' Society to settle some matters. Many others will also be there, so I should be fine. Even if someone wants to make things difficult for me on purpose, I can handle that too!"

In the past, Lily was not good at socializing and hated these unnecessary events. However, she learned how to deal with these people after she got together with Alexander. After all, growing

up was learning how to accept and solve problems instead of running away from them, right? "Promise me one thing." Alexander raised his index finger. He was no longer stopping her, but he had a request.

"What is it?"

"Don't do things beyond your limits!" he said thoughtfully.

'When have I ever done that? I should settle the things that seem to be within my capabilities. Also, I'm only going there for a meeting. Does he honestly think I'm entering a lion's den or something?' Smiling, Lily held his finger and remembered something. “Oh, right. Give and take. I have a request too, and you must agree to it!"

Alexander nodded immediately.
