His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 605

Chapter 605

Lily was speechless. This older gentleman was stubborn, refused to listen to others, and only wanted things to go his way. This atmosphere turned for the worst as he put Lily into an awkward situation. His tone of voice was demanding, and even though it may look like he was asking for her opinion, he was not giving her a choice.

This meant that she could only say yes. Lawrence was much more challenging to deal with than Noah. Noah was just annoying when he tricked her and gave her some challenges to overcome, which were easy to deal with.

However, Lawrence was different. He was a senior perfumer in his twilight years and demanded respect from the industry. Furthermore, he had already sent her his invitation. thrice in a row. Lily had already rejected him twice, and if she did it the third time, she would be known as an insolent young female perfumer.

At first, she thought Noah was the sole culprit and that he had someone in the society steal the official seal and send her a fake invitation. However, it turned out to be something far more complicated. Lily could not help but suspect that this was just a show they had put on to make her give in.

Since Lawrence was determined to force her hand, she could only reject him straightforwardly. Lily was not a person that could be forced into submission, and she was set on denying the Perfumers' Society." Lily was about to say, "Yes, thank you for the chance, but I'd like to decline your offer."

However, before she could, she heard a familiar voice say, "Honey." The next thing she knew, someone was putting their arm around her.

"I was wondering what took you so long. It looks like you've met Mr. Adler," His arm circled her shoulders, and he smiled at her. Turning back to Lawrence, he said, "What brings you here? It's such a rare occasion to see you in person!"

"Alexander?" Lawrence was surprised to see him. He could recognize Alexander immediately, but he did not expect him to come to Kingsland and appear at that moment. Alexander was holding onto Lily in a rather affectionate way.

Lawrence's gaze landed on Alexander's hand. The perfectly shaped hand with long, slender fingers was resting on Lily's shoulder. His arm was only placed lightly on hers, making sure not to burden her with his body weight.

Alexander followed Lawrence's gaze and noticed his arm on Lily, and he said with surprise, Oh my, I forgot to introduce you. She's my wife, Lily Christian.”

"Honey, this is the advisor for the country's most prestigious Perfumers' Society, Mr. Adler. You're so lucky to see him in person today!" Alexander introduced them publicly, but Lily was suffering inside as she could not help but cringe whenever she heard him call her "honey."

Even when they were alone, he had never used that nickname. Hearing him use it for the first time today, she was not used to it. However, she was undeniably happy to see him here.

"Mr. Russell, I didn't know that you were in Kingsland. If I knew about this, I would've taken good care of you!" Noah stepped forward and said, "Right, Mr. Adler was thinking about asking Ms. Christian to join our society. I'm sure you're delighted to see it happen."

"What? Her?" Alexander turned around and stared at Lily. He looked like he was in shock, "Mr. Richards, stop joking. How could that possibly happen?"

"Of course, I'm not joking. Since Mr. Adler is here personally, why don't you ask him?" Noah passed the burden onto Lawrence.
