My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 126

Lily hadn't questioned Daniel about it. She just went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. But to her surprise, Loid came home a few minutes after she started her shower.

"You probably want to spend more time with him than with me," he said sourly.

He rarely showed interest in anything. Lily was the only person he'd ever cared about. He had to admit that he was jealous of the way Lily spoke about Jason.

Lily looked up and stared at him for a moment. Then, she laughed. "So you got jealous?"

"Yeah," Loid said boldly. "I won't allow you to fall in love with another man!"

Lily finally knew why Loid had been acting strange the entire day. Her smile deepened.

"Did you think that he was my boyfriend?"

Loid raised an eyebrow and gave her a displeased look.

"I didn't take you to be so imaginative." Lily pushed him away and met his gaze firmly. "We're siblings. What the hell were you thinking?"

Loid visibly brightened at that. "So he's not your boyfriend?"

"He's my brother!" Lily frowned in exasperation. "He's the only person in this world who treated me kindly apart from Grandma."

She had met Jason ten years ago. She had been nine, and Jason had just turned 20. Lily had just gotten off school that day when she saw Jason waiting for her at the entrance of the school.

He smiled at her warmly. Under the sunlight, he looked noble and elegant.

Since then, he would visit her every so often, bringing her and Belinda groceries and other necessities. But it wasn't like Lily ever needed his help.

She had already found herself her first job at nine, so Belinda hadn't needed to worry about money.

However, Jason's kindness had brought warmth into her life. She trusted him. Jason was kind to them, but they were no more than siblings.
