"I need to use the washroom." Lily wanted to use this as an excuse to escape, but Alexander would not let her go so quickly. He tightened his arms and hugged her tightly, "No, repeat the first thing you said. Then you can go."
"I really need to use the washroom!" It was a slip of the mouth earlier. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud again.
"You should hurry up and say it if you really need to go. It's just a matter of one sentence anyway." Alexander approached Lily until their noses touched. He was staring into her eyes. He said in a loving and charming tone, "Repeat it, my love."
"I-I..." Lily blushed harder, and her heart was thumping so fast that she could not take it anymore. She pushed him further away as she sat up straight and put her hands on her hips, "I said, my husband! Is there anything wrong with that?!"
She might have sounded threatening, but she was very nervous. Her face blushed so red that it was like the evening dusk.
“No, it's nothing. I’m also proud that you have such a husband.” Alexander grinned happily and nodded in agreement.
Lily kept her silence. She stepped on the floor and
said, "I’m going to the washroom!” She took several steps before coming to a halt, "Oh, right!"
"Yes?"
"Do you know Frank?" Lily thought Alexander might have known him as he had a vast network of contacts and knew many people.
"No, I don't. I have never heard of a Frank. Why? Who is this person?" Alexander shook his head after some thought.
"M-My what?" Lily stammered. She thought Alexander was referring to the extraction of fragrance wood's essential oil and continued, "That's right. I only thought of it after I discovered this store in the afternoon. Also, this is just an initial thought. I haven't figured out how to put it into action yet."
Alexander grabbed Lily by her wrist and pulled her closer as soon as she finished her words, "It's elementary to put it into action. You can do it now!" He bowed and kissed her.
Lily stopped him with her hands, "What are you doing?!"
"Putting it into action!" He said as though this was meant to happen. "Since you've thought of it, we should put it into action. Although we may not conceive two babies at once, we can take it slowly.
Regardless, we still need to put effort into this!"
