Chapter 384 The Most Romantic Thing
Thomas praised the children's appearance again, "These two kids look exactly like Alexander when he was little, especially their eyebrows and eyes."
Alexander smiled and agreed, "Thomas, can you tell right away that they're my sons?"
"Of course! They don't look a bit like Lillian." Thomas smiled at the children's mother and asked, "Lillian, have you and Alexander thought about when to have another one?"
"Thomas, the kids are still young. Alexander and I are just going with the flow regarding pregnancy."
"Better hurry up and have another son," Thomas said.
Lillian was taken aback. 'Another son? You like sons, but I want a daughter.'
Alexander said, "Thomas, Lily, and I have it under control."
After seeing the kids, Thomas didn't keep them long and said, "You guys go rest. Come to the Sinclair family estate for dinner tonight."
When Lillian got on the familiar scooter, it felt like she was transported back to last year.
She told Patricia and Heather, "The Sinclair family estate is huge, with mountains, water, and animals. When the baby is asleep, you two should take a walk around."
The two nannies were very curious, looking around and whispering to each other as they sat in the car.
Back at the small house, Lillian took a shower, changed clothes, and lay on the bed, asking Alexander, "Honey, where are you planning to take me?"
"Eat less tonight; I'll take you to the market."
The Sinclair family estate dinners are always lively. This year, with the two kids as the main attraction, she also became the center of attention.
"Lillian, how did you keep your figure after having kids? I couldn't lose weight even after going to the beauty salon."
"Lillian, do you have any tips for improving marital relationships? You two weren't this close last year."
"Lillian, what brand of milk and diapers do you give the kids? Our kids only use the best."
Lillian was surrounded and bombarded with questions from relatives, giving her a headache. She tried to blend in and answered each question with a smile.
She thought she would eat less, but she didn't have time to eat at all, just focused on chatting. She saw Alexander drinking a lot and worried about his health, also wondering if they could still go to the market tonight.
Finally, the dinner ended, and most people were drunk, with few sober ones left.
Alexander sat in his seat, drinking tea and chatting with a peer. Lillian walked over, sat next to him, and whispered, "Honey, have you had too much to drink?"
She leaned in closer, "Can we still go to the market? We can go tomorrow night too."
Alexander affectionately patted her head and softly said, "We have other plans for tomorrow night. I promised to take you tonight, so I will. I haven't had too much."
Lillian was overjoyed, "Okay!"
Alexander didn't waste any time, took her to see a few elders, greeted Thomas, and used the excuse of being drunk to take his wife and kids back to the small house.
They changed into casual clothes. Alexander somehow got a motorcycle, put a helmet on her, and said, "Sit tight, we're heading out!"
"Honey, you're driving under the influence."
"Aetherland doesn't care about motorcycles." Alexander revved the engine, and the motorcycle roared off.
The bustling streets of Aetherland were already lit up, and the market was crowded.
"Honey, there are so many people," Lillian said, taking off her helmet.
"Of course, there are. Don't worry, stick with me, and I won't lose you," Alexander said, putting his arm around Lillian's shoulder as they walked towards the market.
The local delicacies and piles of fruits made Lillian drool.
"Honey, I want to eat this."
"Honey, what is that? I want to try it."
"Honey, have you had this before? Is it good?"
One ate while the other bought.
Lillian held chips in one hand and a corn dog in the other. Alexander's hands were also full of food.
"The flavors here are so different from ours. Everything here is sweet and spicy," Lillian said, eating some chips and feeding some to Alexander.
"Honey, there's a game over there. Do you want to play?" Alexander asked.
The game was shooting balloons with toy guns and ring toss. Lillian found it quite endearing.
"Let's play ring toss," she said, looking at the stuffed animals on the ground with interest.
One, two, three, four, she didn't get any. She started to get anxious, failing repeatedly.
Seeing this, Alexander handed his food to a nearby bodyguard, took the remaining rings from Lillian, aimed, and hit the stuffed pig she wanted. Another toss and the stuffed rabbit was caught.
"Honey, you're amazing!" Lillian shouted happily, taking the toys from the shop owner.
They walked back along the road, Lillian having eaten a lot and feeling very happy. She burped and praised, "The food here is really good."
"And I love these two stuffed animals too."
Lillian sat on the back of the motorcycle, hugging Alexander's waist, her face pressed against his broad back.
"Honey, don't we look like we're dating?"
Alexander turned his head slightly to look at her, "I think we look more like a couple married for decades."
"You're so unromantic. I work the night shift, you come to pick me up on your bike, and we go back to our little rented house together. So romantic."
"Really? I still think picking you up in my Bentley is more romantic," Alexander expressed his opinion.
Lillian thought for a moment and said, "You're right. Poverty and hardship bring sadness to a couple. Living in a rented house, we'd probably argue over all sorts of things. Where's the romance in that?"
"Honey, you changed your mind so quickly. So, what do you think is the most romantic thing?"
"The most romantic thing," she pondered over the words, "I think it's a wedding. That day is the most romantic."
Alexander held her hand and promised, "Honey, I will give you that romantic event!"
Lillian felt his determination and sincerity, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not hinting at anything. I just thought of it suddenly. We can wait a bit for the wedding."
"We'll discuss the wedding when we get home. But waiting is not an option anymore. I can't wait!"
Lillian laughed and asked with great interest, "From what you're saying, have you been planning the wedding for a long time?"
