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 Lold 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 bearning 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, acomer of her rosy lips lifted into a teasing smirk. “Laid, 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 tool 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.

a young woman who was

still

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 ay 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 burning, she found Loid watching her with his head propped on his arm.

She smiled and asked, “What?”

“You’re too pretty. I just wanted to take a good look at you whenever I can.” Lold lifted his other hand to pat her several times on the head. His voice was gentle as he asked, “Are you hungry? I’Ecook”

“You know how to cook? Lily was somewhat surprised.

She had never really bothered to understand Loid more. Besides knowing that he was the eldest son of the Laurier family and the other information listed in his profile, she didn’t know much about him.

Lily got up slowly and pondered that it was time for her to put in some effort and get to know Laid better.

“I picked it up when I was living away from home.” Loid smiled. “I’m quite good at cooking. You’ll get to try it in a while.”

“okay” Lily got out of bed and pulled the curtains apart. Sunlight filled the room, wamming her body.

Looking at the azure sky outside, Lily raised her head slightly and closed her eyes to enjoy the moment. She had not felt this refreshed and unburdened for a very long time. The air of aggressiveness she exuded was all but gone.

Loid walked over to her and circled his lean arms around her waist with his chin on her shoulder, he said softly, “Promise me you won’t do the fighting yourself again.”

He didn’t want her to always be so aggressive; he just wanted her to be happy.

Lily turned her head, causing her cheek to touch Loid’s lips. She felt slightly awkward and quickly turned back. “I’ll try.”

Loid put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around to face him. Under the sunlight, her face looked delicate. Even without any makeup, she looked breathtakingly beautiful. Her lowered eyes and long eyelashes made Loid’s heart skip a beat

Her lips were tempting him. Lold could feel raging desire burning at the back of his throat.

As their eyes met, Laly blushed. She was about to turn around, but Loid suddenly held her in place and went in for a kiss.

Lily blinked twice in surprise. Her body stiffened completely like she was a statue.

Lood’s tongue reached in and found that her teeth were clenched tightly as if she were nervous. He opened his eyes and saw the beads of sweat gliding down her checks.

He found this endearing and a little funny. Lily wasn’t afraid of anything, but this kiss startled her to no end. It wasn’t like he would devour her.

Lod reached up and held the back of her head. His cool lips whispered into her ears, “Don’t be nervous,”
