Chapter 153
Robert's eyes flickered slightly, as if wondering where Lila had found such a good-looking boyfriend.
Perhaps because Alexander's gaze was too cold, Robert looked away first and turned to Lila with a smile, "Lila, so this is your boyfriend? He's pretty handsome. What does he do? Which school did he graduate from?"
Lila smiled awkwardly.
Robert was the "PhD" her grandmother had mentioned. When he just asked which school Alexander graduated from, he was probably trying to indirectly find out about his education level.
But she didn't know which school Alexander graduated from either.
As Lila was thinking about how to respond to Robert's question, Alexander looked down at him and spoke, "I'm Lila's husband, not her boyfriend. I graduated from Columbia University at 22 with a degree in business administration, combined bachelor's and master's program. May I ask, sir, do you have any questions?"
Hearing this, Lila looked at him in surprise.
Alexander was the type who looked down on most people and wouldn't bother talking to strangers. Yet today he had voluntarily revealed his identity, even clearly stating his alma mater and education background.
What was he thinking?
After Alexander finished speaking, Robert's expression also stiffened slightly.
Although he had a PhD, he hadn't graduated from such a top-tier university.
He didn't think top universities were that impressive.
But to graduate from a top university with a master's degree at 22 - if Alexander had continued his studies, he would definitely be better than him.
Lila was also a bit stunned listening to Alexander's self-introduction.
It sounded pretty impressive.
But she came to her senses before Robert did, "Rob, what's that in your hand?"
Robert also looked at her at the right moment, handing over what he was holding while speaking, "Oh, this is homemade sausage my mom asked me to bring you. She said since you're in the city and would have to buy this if you wanted it, she told me to bring you some."
Lila took it, "Thanks, Rob."
Robert smiled, "No problem."
After speaking, Robert looked at Lila with some disappointment and regret on his face, "Lila, is he really your husband? When did you secretly get married?"
Hearing Robert's words, Alexander knew he was interested in Lila!
Great, he really was the fourth person!
Alexander stared at Lila coldly, as if he wanted to devour her.
But Lila wasn't looking at him, so naturally didn't notice his mood.
She gave Robert an awkward but polite smile and answered, "Got married a while ago. We just got the certificate, didn't have a wedding, so most people still don't know."
"But I heard that a month ago you didn't even have a boyfriend."
"Right, I got married pretty quickly, pretty suddenly."
Robert's eyes showed some regret, and he couldn't help asking, "Why get married so fast? Getting married that quickly is very risky. Such a big life decision should be made after understanding everything clearly."
At this point, he guessed, "It's not because of your father's situation, is it?"
"Rob, I..."
Just as she was about to say something, Alexander pulled her to his side.
Alexander's hand wrapped around her waist, holding her close. In front of Robert, he put on the appearance of a loving couple, declaring his ownership as he spoke, "What else could it be? Of course it's because she loves me so much she can't help herself and wanted to marry me right away to be my wife. Sir, you're standing in front of me telling my wife that getting married too quickly is risky - what exactly are you trying to say?"
Hearing this, Lila frowned slightly.
Who loved him so much they couldn't help themselves?
How could he talk himself up like that?
