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

1r 100?”

Lily tilted her head to one side and assessed Anya in surprise. “You play City of Glory, too?”

Anya nodded. “Yech, but I’m not really good at it.”

She started playing City of Glory in 10th grade, but she didn’t have much time to hone her skills due to her study load. She was a below–average player at

best.

However, she stayed tuned to all the latest updates for City of Glory. She was also a fan of the Titanium Force Squadron, especially Tyrant. She was obsessed with the player.

Anya’s admiration for Tyrant was different from her admiration for Lucas.

Lucas had the looks, dance moves, and a keen sense of professionalism

Tyrant, on the other hand, was attractive on a different level. Anya was mesmerized by the way they approached the virtual battlefield with lethal focus. Anya wished she could watch them live at a gaming championship, but she would first need to make enough money to buy an entry ticket. She wondered If Tyrant would have retired by then.

“Are you a fan of Tyrant?” Lily gave up on reading and closed her book, leaning back against her chair with a lazy grace.

“Yes!” Anya looked lovesick. “I’m a huge fan. Obsessed, even!”

“If that’s

the case, why didn’t you accept Yolanda’s present?”

It wasn’t easy getting tickets issued by the Titanium Force Squadron. Lily could only imagine how much Yolanda had splurged on those tickets just to win over the class.

Anya straightened up and gave Lily a solemn look. “T’d never betray you like that!”

Lily stared at her speechlessly.

Later that afternoon, the students worked on more practice tests throughout physics and chemistry classes.

Lily did not leave the classroom and stayed in her seat the entire time. She wanted to slump over her desk and take a nap, but sleep would not come.

Her insomnia had worsened since Belinda’s passing. It was ironic how she couldn’t cure herself despite being such a medical extraordinaire. Then again, maybe she didn’t want to cure herself.

Yolanda left Lily alone for the entire afternoon, keeping to her desk most of the time. Lily paid no mind to her, and the day idly passed.

yup.

When school ended, Loid came by to pick Lily up

Yolanda followed Lily out of the school gates. When she saw Loid’s car, she dashed past Lily and stopped in front of Loid. She asked with a sweet smile,‘ Loid, are you here to pick me?”

Loid hadn’t expected Yolanda to be here. He stared at her for a few moments as if to silently ask, “What are you doing here?”

Yolanda raised a brow and gave him a look, silently answering, “To see you, of course!”

Loid was at a loss. He drew back his gaze and eyed Yolanda indifferently. “What do you want?

“I heard this school had good admission rates, so I transferred here. Agnes said you’d show me the ropes.” Yolanda gave Loid an innocent smile. “So, can I count on you?

Loid’s gaze darkened. There was a long pause before he said, “Get in the car.”

“Thank you, Loid.”

She made to open the door of the front passenger seat, but Loid’s icy voice hit her. “In the backseat.”

Resentful tears welled up in Yolanda’s eyes. “But I get carsick=”

Loid interrupted her brusquely, “The only person who gets to sit in the front passenger seat is my financée. Are you sure you want to sit there?”

Yolanda swallowed and turned to glare at Lily. She quickly regained her composure and said, “I’ll sit in the back.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lily did not open the car door until Yolanda had gone into the backseat.

She didn’t look so good. At first, Loid thought she might be angry, so he explained, “I owe her sister a favor.”

Lily nodded and gave him a cursory look. She said calmly, “I’m not angry. ”

Loid fell speechless again.
