My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Loid told Sham to escort Lily inside first. He then stayed behind to give Daniel instructions before watching him depart.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lily wasn’t picky about food. She had a small appetite and only ate a few bites before stopping

She grabbed a few bottles of beer from the waiter and popped the caps open with her teeth like a gangster.

She loved to drink. It was her way to unwind after a stressful day. However, she only liked beer. Those fancy liquors and wines weren’ther cup of tea.

Shaun watched her expertly pour the drinks, surprise lacing his voice as he asked, “You’re only 19, and you enjoy drinking so much?”

Lilly glanced at him. She raised an eyebrow, and there was a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Got a problem with that?”

“Of course not.” Lily’s disdainful gaze made Shaun question his own charm. How could he possibly have any objections? He’d be grateful if she’d just stop looking at him like he was an idiot every now and then.

Meanwhile, Lily ignored him. She continued scrolling through her phone while sipping her drink

Shaun watched as she gulped down the beer like water and asked curiously, “is beer that good?” Sham usually only drank hard liquor and red wine, both of which were quite expensive. He had never really tried beer before.

He was intrigued to see Lily enjoying beer so much.

Raising her eyebds slightly, Lily offered, “Want to try some?”

Unable to resist the temptation, Shaun opened a bottle. He took a sip and immediately spat it out. “Holy crap! What is this stuff? It tastes horrible!”

Lily glanced up at him

Shaun flinched “Whoa, hold on! Could you stop staring? You’re making me question my entire existence,” he stammered.

Lily silently averted her gaze as she finished the bottle of beer in her hand and then opened another.

Shaun sighed. “Well, I guess I’ll just have to suffer through this.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Loid and suddenly remembered something. Turning to Lily, he asked, “Can Loid drink.now?”

“Yes, he can,” Lily replied without hesitation.

A wave of relief washed over Shaun as he promptly opened a bottle of beer for Loid. With a grin, he said, “I can’t be the only one drinking with your fiancée, right?

Loid took the bottle and gave:

e Shaun asidelong glance.

Shaun was speechless. “Damn it! When did Loid learn to stare at people like that?” he thought. The constant glances from Lily and Loid felt like a thousand daggers piercing Shaun’s heart. Wisely, he decided to keep his mouth shut

After dinner, Daniel arrived, accompanied by Shannon, who had several pieces of luggage of various sizes beside her. Though Shannon had only been at Anmer Heights for two days, she already had five pieces of luggage with her.

Ully met Shannon’s glare of undisguised hatred. Shannon raised an eyebrow, then turned to Loid, ignoring Lily.

Lold remained silent. He took Lily’s hand and led her toward the car. With the addition of another passenger, Shaun moved to the back seat. Loid had deliberately left the front seat empty to avoid sitting next to Shannon.

Lily didn’t bother to ask Loid where he was taking Shannon. After getting into the car, she lowered her head and started scrolling on her phone. To be precise, shes

Lily replied to a message from Duncan with a few words.

A moment later, her phone screen lit up again. It was another message from Duncan: “Damn! School is so much fun! Why didn’t you ask me to go together with you?”
