“Miss…Miss-”
The man stepped forward and tried to stop them but was met with a snarl from Lily. “Move! You should
know better than to stop me!”
The man was stunned. Perhaps it was her formidable presence or just plain fear of her, but he
eventually stepped back. Edward started the car and sped off purposefully as soon as Lily and
Alexander got in.
Alexander turned his head to look at a huffy Lily and reached out to stuff a piece of candy in her mouth.
“It’s not worth being angry over taking me for a walk.”
“They’re just bullying us at this point!” she grumbled.
