Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1232

Chapter 1232

However, judging from his actions in such a short time, he was not out of touch with the outside world.

This meant that he saw the message but deliberately ignored her.

Although it was a person's choice whether to reply to a message, he seemed to want to talk to her, yet refused a more

convenient channel. This man was not an easy person to deal with.

After being called out, Austin was stunned for a short while before returning to his senses with a slight smile. "I prefer talking to someone face -to-face. Although it's easier to text, it's also easier for misunderstandings and misinformation to happen.”

Now, this was a new excuse.

"However, that's not the point. I want to know if you're really planning to stop this project,” he asked solemnly. His gaze looked like it could scorch.

“I'm still thinking about it. Are you here to dissuade me?"

Lily raised her head to look at him. Although she was not short, the man in front of her was extremely tall, making her look petite.

This action would have made her neck sore if it weren't because she was used to looking up at Alexander.

She had only brought it up once since she did not know the details or purpose of the project. The institute was afraid that she might stop the project and had tried to coax her a few times.

This time, it seemed like they had sent Austin over to try and dissuade her again.

After all, she was just a researcher of extracts and essences. How could she be compared to the medicinal herbs that cured diseases and saved lives?

"I see what you're trying to say here.” Lily nodded slightly. She was not angry as she took a few sips from her drink.

After pondering for a while, she asked, "I have a question. Is what you just said a representative of the whole research institute?”

If this were what the research institute wanted, she would pull out of the project. However, she found it strange why they approached her to discuss cooperation in the first place.

Austin raised his chin and bluntly replied, "It's my own opinion! I don't know how you negotiated a deal with the institute or what conditions you've laid out with them for this. I heard your husband is an aristocrat engaged in big industries. I hope you know that scientific research isn't child's play. It's not the same as investing in, let's say, a movie or striking a business deal. I think you shouldn't meddle in matters that involve the life and death of a human being."

As he spoke, his eyes moved down to her protruding belly. "Ms. Christian, I think you should stay at home and do what a woman is supposed to do!"
