Chapter 211: CHAPTER 211 – Call From Max & Lily.
The name that was showing on Alex's phone right now was "Family Man".
That's what Alex named Max as.
Alex didn't keep him on ringing as he picked up the phone and accepted the call.

"Hell-"
"Hello, big brother!"
Alex was about to say hello, but his voice was cut out by the cheerful voice of a girl.
"Hm? Who's this?"
Alex feigned confusion.
"Mou…. I know that you know who it is…"
Lily on the other side of the phone puffed her cheeks as she replied with a pout.
"No, I don't know."
Alex continued to pretend.
"Come on, Lily, give me the phone."
Just then, another voice was heard from the background.
It was Max who was asking for his phone that Lily snatched from his hand when he was dialing Alex's number.
"No."
Lily sternly replied to Max and Max raised his hand in surrender and backed away.
"You heard it, right?"
Lily asked Alex and Alex replied I confusion.
"Yes, I did, but you still haven't answered my question."
"It's me, Lily!!"
Lily was now getting annoyed.
"Lilly who?"
Alex asked again.
"Lily steel!"
Lily replied as she folded her hands.
"I don't recall anyone I knew had that name…."
Alex muttered to himself, but Lily could hear it loud and clear on the other side.
"Huff, I don't want to talk to you now!"
She spoke with her cheeks puffed and tears forming in her eyes.
Alex who could guess what was happening finally decided to end the play.
"All right, all right, I know who you are, you are the cutest girl I have ever met, how can I not know you."
Alex spoke gently with a smile, and Lily who had her cheeks puffed wiped the tears that were about to come out of her eyes and muttered.
"Really?"
"Really. Why would I lie to you, Lily?"
Alex replied with a smile, and Lily started giggling.
"Hehehe…"
"So, what are you up to?"
Alex asked and Lily just realized that she forgot the main reason for the call.
"Ah, Daddy wanted to call you for something, but I snatched the phone."
"Oh? Do you plan on giving the phone back to him?"
Alex asked as he raised his brow.
The sound coming out of the phone's speaker would be low for normal people to hear since it was not on speaker, but for SS-rank and above raiders, it was an easy feat.
So, everyone, from Max to Luna, could hear the talk.
Max could hear it better since his phone was on speaker.
'Aren't they a bit too close for someone who is not even in an alliance?'
Luna thought dubiously.
To the world, Crimson Lotus Guild and Steel Family are just acquaintances, nothing else.
The meeting they had at Damien's café was about something personal.
No one knew about anything that went down there, and no one would ever know since everyone who knew about it was already in a contract made by Max.
Max, on the other hand, spoke as soon as he heard Alex's words.
"See, he wants to talk to me, can you give me the phone now, princess?"
Max asked with a smile but then Alex raised a brow.
"When did I say that I would prefer talking to an old man over the cutest girl in the world??"
Alex asked in a confused voice and a vein appeared on Max's forehead.
*Giggle*
Grace who just entered the room with some snacks giggled as she heard Alex's words.
"He wants to talk to me, also, didn't you let Mom talk to Alice sis before, just tell me what you want to say, and I will tell him."
Lily spoke stubbornly.
But Max who heard those words remembered the thing that he had to talk about and became serious, even Grace who was giggling now had a serious expression.
'Hm?'
Alex could feel the tension on the other side once he noticed the silence of Max and Grace.
He could tell that it was something serious, so he was about to tell Lily to give the phone to Max but Max spoke before he could say that.
"Just tell him to look at the report I sent him."
"Daddy wants you to look at the report he sent you."
"Thank you, Lily."
Lily conveyed the message, and Alex thanked her gently even though he had already heard Max's words.
"It's my pleasure, hehe."
Lily just giggled with a smile.
Alice and Ann who heard those words looked toward Alex, Luna did the same but she was looking at Alex with an expression that was trying to hide some crazy expression.
'He likes kids! He likes to play with kids! He wants me to have his kids!'
Luna was busy with her own dreams, though she herself knew that they were just dreams and nothing more.
'Not for long….'
Luna was fully committed to getting Alex's heart, and that was the reason she wanted to live here.
Alex, on the other hand, swiped through his mobile and opened the mail app, and then he opened the file that was sent by Max a minute ago.
'He sent it the moment Lily took the phone from him.'
Alex chuckled inwardly.
Alex could tell that Max knew that Lily was not going to give the phone back to him, so he sent the file in advance.
"Oh?"
Alex let out a surprised voice, but Alice and Ann became serious, even Noctura became serious.
Alice, Ann, and Noctura knew that there were not many things that could surprise Alex, and if something did surprise him, then it could be either good or bad.
From the tone of his voice, it didn't seem like a happy surprise, it just sounded like a normal surprise, like he was not expecting something.
Luna, however, was now confused as to why the atmosphere suddenly turned serious.
"Lily, tell your dad that I got the file and I would like to meet him at my house."
Alex commented as he looked through the file.
"Ok! Daddy, Big brother said that he got your file and he wants you to meet him at his house- wait!
We are going to Big Brother's house!"
Lily realized mid-sentence what Alex's words meant and she started jumping around happily.
Unlike the first time they met, Lily did not feel anything other than closeness toward Alex, and during the last month, Alex and Lily met two or three times.
They played some board games and other things, and Lily was now completely open to Alex.
As Lily was jumping around in happiness, she let go of the phone which gave Max a chance to talk.
"Hmph!"
Lily noticed that just turned her head away with a 'hmph', but then she started jumping again as she ran to her room to pack her things.
