Chapter 163
But Grandma didn't know about this. She must have noticed there wasn't even a ring on her hand just now and couldn't stand seeing her treated this way, so she brought it up with Alexander.
Lila looked at Alexander and shook her head slightly, signaling him not to reveal their agreement to Grandma.
She really didn't want to worry Grandma.
But Alexander completely ignored her hint.
Lila's face changed instantly.
She thought to herself that Alexander must be taking this chance to get back at her for talking back to him in the kitchen earlier.
This was bad!
In her despair, Lila heard his steady voice, "Don't worry, Grandma. She won't miss out on any of these things. The reason she doesn't have them on now is because we were in a rush when we registered our marriage and didn't have time to pick them out. Later, Lila and I will head back to the city early and I'll take her to choose these things. Next time we come back, we'll show them to you."
Hearing this, Lila was even more confused than if Alexander had exposed their secret.
He was going to buy her wedding jewelry?
That would cost a lot of money.
Although he had given her two million before, she hadn't touched that money and would return it to him when he wanted it back later.
Plus, that money was marital property.
But buying the three golds and a diamond would be different. Right now they were legally married, and if he bought these jewelry items for her, they would all be her personal property.
While she was still confused, Grandma's voice came through with some happiness, "No need, no need. Just hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. I can see you're a reasonable child who understands this grandmother's heart. I trust you'll definitely treat Lila well."
"Don't worry, Grandma."
"Good, good. I'm relieved."
With that, the old lady looked at Lila with satisfaction. "Lila, really, you didn't even tell Grandma you were dating, and the marriage was so sudden. If Grandma had known you found such a good husband, I would have definitely told your neighbor aunties about it and let them all be happy for you."
"Yes, Grandma." Lila felt so guilty. She quietly responded to Grandma while sneaking a glance at Alexander.
He looked completely at ease, his expression relaxed and cheerful.
Lila chatted with the old lady for a while longer.
At three in the afternoon, she and Alexander prepared to leave.
The old lady gave them some vegetables she had grown herself, and Lila didn't forget to bring along the homemade sausages Robert had given her.
Of course, to keep up appearances, Alexander carried everything.
After leaving the house, Lila looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, you should go back. His car is parked at the intersection, where everyone in our town usually parks. We'll get there quickly, you don't need to see us off."
"Okay, I won't see you off. Drive carefully on the road."
"Okay, I'll come back to see you when I have time."
The old lady nodded and stood at the doorway watching them leave.
After turning the corner and losing sight of Grandma, Lila breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bent down to take the things from Alexander's hands. "Let me carry them?"
He moved his hands to the side, avoiding her, "We're already at the car. You need to put on a show now? Making it look like I'm always bullying you."
Lila thought to herself—isn't that exactly how it is?
He does like to bully her.
When they reached the car, Alexander, with both hands full, looked at Lila. "The car key is in my pants pocket. Take it out and unlock the car."
"Oh." After responding, she reached into his pants pocket and was trying hard to find the key when she heard Alexander say through gritted teeth, "Haven't you felt around enough?"
"Why isn't there a key?"
"It's in the other side."
Lila was so embarrassed.
She pulled her hand out immediately.
