Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1722

However, Alexander showed no joy and looked a bit solemn.

“I received news about him about half a month ago, but I didn’t tell you because you were busy,” Alexander explained casually. “He’s safe now and still alive.”

“That’s great news!” Then, heaving a sigh of relief, she seemed to remember something and fished out her phone to make a call.

“What are you doing?” Alexander asked while holding her hand.

Lily moved her phone-holding hand away and said, “I’m calling Olivia to tell her the good news! Oh, did your men tell her?”

‘I bet she’ll be thrilled to discover that Edward is still alive and safe!’

It was at this moment that Lily sensed that he was acting strangely. He is not thrilled or excited to share the news with her, but rather unhappy. Why?’

“Did something happen?” she asked hesitantly.

When she asked the question, different scenarios flashed in her mind. ‘Could he be injured, maimed, or disfigured? Otherwise, why would Alex’s response be so grave?’

Furrowing his brow, Alexander collected his thoughts and said, “About two weeks ago, our men found Edward. We don't know when he returned, and he’s staying with Olivia at their house. However, he refuses to return to the company.”

Not knowing why either, Alexander shook his head. “I’m afraid he has to tell me in person.”

Catching on to his point, Lily asked, “You’re going to meet him?”

Alexander looked at her and nodded.

“Now?” Lily asked thoughtfully.

“We should be able to make it in time.” Then, checking his watch, he said, “Let’s go together.”
