My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 158

Lily took a few steps and halted. Then, she looked at Loid expressionlessly. "Are you sick or something?"

She just wanted to come out for a stroll after eating too much. She didn't expect Loid would take her to the mall and buy her so many clothes. Did she look like she lacked clothes to wear?

"I was, but you cured me." Loid smiled and lifted Lily's hand. He was beaming so widely that his eyes were reduced to slits.

It was rare for Lily not to oppose him bringing her out in public and showering her with attention. Because of this, he was in a very good mood.

Lily, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.

She crossed her arms over her chest and raised a brow at him. Next, a corner of her rosy lips lifted into a teasing smirk. "Loid, you're still under probation."

Loid instantly stopped smiling and changed into a more solemn expression. "Sorry, Reese."

Lily chuckled and didn't say anything else. After that, Loid behaved more like a normal person. He no longer insisted on buying Lily all sorts of things.

They had just reached the mall entrance when Lily's phone started ringing. It was a call from Anya.

"Lily, our school is having an art festival tomorrow. Will you be coming to watch our performance?" Anya asked.

Lily thought for a moment and replied, "Sure!"

The banquet was on the day after tomorrow, so she had time to spare for the next day.

"Really? Awesome!" Anya exclaimed. Then, she added, "Be there by 10:00 am tomorrow. See you."

Lily replied with a faint "Yeah" and hung up.

Loid took Lily to a restaurant for dinner. Since nothing else was going on that night, they decided to call it a day. They slept on the same bed, but Loid didn't make any advances. He thought that Lily was still young and shouldn't start having sex so soon.

The next morning, streaks of golden light rose in the east. They streamed through the transparent glass of the windows and shone on the face of a young woman who was still sleeping soundly.

Despite having her eyes closed, Lily could feel the bright light shining on her, causing her eyes discomfort. She lifted a hand to block the light and turned to the other side. Upon turning, she found Loid watching her with his head propped on his arm.
