His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1961

The house was so quiet that one might think no one was inside. Alexander stood in the living room for a minute before Anastasia came downstairs—she had lost so much weight that he could not recognize her initially.

Anastasia was wearing a black dress and slippers as she greeted him, “Hey, Alex.”

“Where’s your father?”

“My father is still resting,” she whispered, gesturing as she glanced upstairs.

Alexander was puzzled. “Resting?”

‘It’s unusual for Cameron to be resting at this hour.’

Alexander knew she used the same excuse to turn away visitors when her father was unwell. Hence, he wondered why Cameron was still resting now that the toxins had been removed from the latter.

“Why are you visiting us so suddenly?” Anastasia asked and gestured for him to take a seat. However, she was strangely reserved and did not tell the servant to serve him drinks.

Since Alexander was usually observant, he knew something was amiss but could not figure out what or why. He asked, “Did something happen?”

“No.” Anastasia shrugged it off with a smile. “Besides my father feeling weak and needing more rest, everything is fine. Anyway, I must thank you and Lily. If it weren’t for you guys, my father’s toxin wouldn’t have been removed so soon.”

She tried to smile and sound light-hearted, but there was uneasiness in her eyes.

Alexander knitted his brows and carefully observed the place.
