My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 156

Lily turned toward him and stiffened her lips. She fell silent and finally leaned back against the bed.

"Sleep then."

A triumphant smile crossed Loid's face. "I want to hold you when I sleep."

Glaring at him, Lily snapped, "Don't try to take advantage of the situation!"

"But I'm cold!" Loid snuggled closer to her. "You're warm."

Feeling utterly resigned, Lily muttered, "Just hurry up and sleep."

"Okay."

Loid closed his eyes for a while and opened them shortly after. "My mom said that once my poison is completely cleared, she wants to host a banquet to announce our relationship."

Lily nodded. "Melanie told me about it."

"So that means you admit that you're my fiancée?" Loid sat up and pulled her into his arms.

Still absorbed in her thoughts, Lily hadn't noticed that she was nestling in his embrace.

"I'm just trying to please Melanie," she drawled out after a long while.

Loid sighed. Just how long would it take for her to bare her emotions to him?

"Mom will be delighted. She wants me to marry you." Loid smirked. "Even so, are you still willing to make her happy and go along with it?"

Lily glanced at him and suddenly realized something. "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Loid fell silent. It appeared that he couldn't get the response he anticipated.
