Raising My Wife novel Chapter 11

'It seems that I have been with James for a long time, so I won't feel uncomfortable, ' Lily thought. She was eating quietly and looking at James up and down.

It seemed that James found Lily's looking. James looked at Lily with a frivolous expression. However, having no time to take her eyesight back, Lily blushed. She was caught peeping at that time.

Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, James said, "come to the study after you finish eating."

"What? Okay..." Lily quickened her pace of eating. Watching James's retreating figure, she speculated why James had asked her to the study.

Within a few minutes, Lily went upstairs to the study. Standing outside the study, she knocked slightly.

"Come in." James's voice sounded calmly.

Lily pushed the door open and found that James was sitting at the desk with a Chinese text book in his hand. She was startled at the sight of the book.

On the other hand, it seemed that James didn't notice Lily. He grabbed the phone on the table and dialed the internal line. "Bill, take the things upstairs."

Seeing that James didn't respond to him, Lily stood still, not knowing what to do. Just when she was at a loss, Bill came up with a chair, the same as the one in the study.

"Hello, Miss Lily." Looking at Lily standing in the study, Bill greeted respectfully, "Mr. James, I've brought the things here."

"Put it here," James signaled Bill to put the chair next to him.

Bill was shocked. 'Mr. James's study is not a place that people could get in and out casually. It is really surprising that Miss Lily could stay in Mr. James's study now. Moreover, Mr. James ordered me to make a same chair for Miss Lily and put the chair in the study. It seems that Mr. James really cares Miss Lily.'

Bill's heart was full of ups and downs, but his face remained calm. He put the chair steadily next to James.

"Mr. James, I'll leave here." Bill knew that James liked to be quiet, so he left after putting the chair down.

James nodded and said, "come here, Lillias."

Lily walked towards the James obediently. There were only two of them in the study. Then James called her full name again, Lily suddenly became nervous.

Seeing Lily clenching her fists, James sighed inwardly. He said in a milder voice, "Sit here."

Lily sat down obediently, lowering her head.

"Lillias, tell me, what are you afraid of?" James didn't plan to beat around the bush with her. He said directly.

Hearing what James said, Lily felt wronged. It was James who scared her, but he still asked her. Lily chose to remain silent.

In James's view, Lily's silence was no more than a silent resistance.

"Lillias, I don't know what's in your mind, but I take you home, I want to be responsible for you." said James. James rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What I want is not your fear and flinch. Just be yourself in this family. I will only say such words once. Do you understand?"

Lily raised her head and had a quick glimpse of James. Then she nodded, pretending to know something.
