Chapter 1269
'This is?” Although Alexander could recognize some plants after spending so much time with Lily, he
could not tell what this one was.
Lily could barely hide her joy as she said excitedly, 'This is Agarwood!"
"Agarwood?" Alexander raised his brow and subconsciously repeated the name. He could not
remember all the plant names, but he could tell his wife loved it.
"You bought it?" He brushed Lily’s hair behind her ear, leaned in, and kissed her cheek.
Lily did not move away since she had grown accustomed to his intimate gestures, so she leaned close
to him. "No, it's a gift from someone."
Her eyes sparkled with joy as she stared at the plant, and Alexander could tell she truly loved it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"A gift?” Alexander narrowed his eyes.
'Who dares to send her such a gift? Who's so thoughtful to have sent my beloved wife such a
wonderful gift?'
Lily was someone who only cared a little about material possessions. She kept the jewelry Alexander
had bought her in their boxes and simply wanted her clothes to be cozy and easy on the eyes. The
houses and properties mattered to her even less to her.
As Alexander knew little about raw materials and did not know what to give her, he could only give her
a card so she could buy whatever she wanted. After so long, this was the first time he saw her getting
so happy over a gift.
"It’s a gift from Ms. Rollins!" Lily said gleefully.
"Ms. Rollins?" He did not seem to remember the person.
Lily elbowed him. "Cut the act! If you could remember her from her profile photo, how could you not
remember who she is now?"
Feigning pain, Alexander palmed his side. "I didn’t immediately think of her, okay? Still, why did she
give you this? Did she know you like it?"
Lily shook her head. "I've never mentioned it."
However, Anastasia knew Lily was a perfumer. Even before they met, the woman had heard about Lily.
'Then take the gift if you like it. I'll send a proper return gift to Ms. Rollins when I’m free."
'Since Lily likes the plant so much, she should accept it. Sometimes we have to accept gifts anyway.’
Lily gave him a look. 'There's no need. I already gave her a dress, so this is her return gift to me.”
"Oh, that was fast." Alexander was surprised that his wife's social skills were not as bad as he had
imagined. "Are you talking about the dress you took from her?"

"It looks gorgeous and smells so nice! I wonder where Ms. Rollins acquired such a precious...” After a
pause, she thought of something and suddenly looked over her shoulder at Alexander. "It should be
legal to keep it, right?”
"What?" Bewildered, Alexander wondered why the plant would be illegal.
"Agarwood is under the protection of the Endangered Species Act. I've always wanted to get my hands
on one, but I never got the chance.
Anyway, I heard some people grow them!" Lily cocked her head and studied the plant, seemingly
talking to Alexander and herself simultaneously.
Alexander did not know what to say. He noticed her staring at the plant lovingly and somehow grew
jealous, pulling Lily into his chest.
"Hey, hey!" Lily was reaching out to touch a leaf when she fell into him and accidentally plucked it off.
