Chapter 212
Lila felt a bit dazed, surprised and a little hurt. For a moment, she couldn't even speak.
Alexander looked into her bewildered eyes and continued teasingly, "Anyway, you won't solve the problems a wife should solve. So what, I can't seek other ways?"
"If you dare, I'll..." Lila tried to threaten him.
Alexander raised an eyebrow, seeming quite interested in what she would say, and even pressed on, "You'll what?"
"I'll tell Grandma. She's very principled and definitely won't let you mess around."
"I thought you had some real ability, but turns out you only know how to tattle?"
Lila glared at him indignantly.
She was quite capable with others, but who told him to have such an untouchable status?
In Oceancrest City, except for Grandma, probably no one could do anything about him.
So frustrating.
She would absolutely not accept her legal husband keeping a mistress outside, even though they were a contract couple—she still had her dignity!
Just as Lila was thinking about how to make her position clear to him, she heard Alexander speak unhurriedly, "If Mrs. Sinclair doesn't want me to keep a mistress, you can use your beauty and intelligence to keep my heart."
Hearing this, her inner thought was: I don't have that ability.
Alexander noticed her silence and looked her up and down. His gaze finally settled on the woman's beautiful collarbone, and his eyes even seemed to be moving lower.
Soon, he spoke again, "And by the way, use your remarkable figure to wear me out completely. That way, I won't have the mood or energy to find any mistress, right?"
Lila looked at him in disbelief.
Catching Alexander's eyes staring at her chest, her cheeks immediately flushed red.
Without thinking, she turned around and sat down in her chair, adjusting her clothes even though they were already quite modest.
Lila breathed a sigh of relief, glanced back at Alexander standing behind her, and responded to his earlier comment, "What shameful things are you saying? You're the head of a major corporation—can you think about your position before you speak?"
Alexander snorted lightly and argued with her, "Besides being the head of a major corporation, I'm also your husband. And besides being your husband..."
At this point, he paused. He moved closer to her and leaned down.
Alexander's pleasant scent immediately filled Lila's nose.
She tensed up nervously.
Alexander placed one hand on the desk and the other on her chair. As he turned his head to look at her profile, he smiled slightly, his powerful voice slowly exploding in her ear, "I'm also a man."
Lila froze for a full ten seconds before turning to look at him, her eyes full of surprise.
What does "I'm also a man" mean?
How can he be so shameless?
She was thin-skinned after all. His explicit and direct words made her heart pound wildly, and now she didn't even have the courage to look at him directly.
Alexander studied her for a moment, "Why aren't you talking now?"
"I have nothing to say. I'm going to read now. Boss, please go out and work. Your time is so valuable—don't waste it all on talking nonsense with me. I'm not worth it."
"You're my wife. How can chatting with you be a waste of time? At most, it's flirting."
Lila frowned at him and showed a slight smile, "Isn't building feelings something to do at home? We're at the company now, so let's focus on work, okay?"
Although her expression was gentle, her inner thought was: Please just shut up!
