His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 10

Lily glanced at Alexander quietly but found he was looking at her. She did not know when his sight had already fallen on her. She was caught in the act and began to blush.

"Do you have other plans tonight?" Alexander asked. He was close to Lily and made her feel butterflies in her stomach.

The stubbornness in Lily's bones made her refuse to back down. She met his obsidian eyes and tried her best to maintain a calm expression. "If you recall, tonight is our wedding night. What other arrangements would I have, Mr. Russell?"

Lily pretended to be relaxed and natural, but her hands pressed hard on her knees, revealing the uneasiness in her heart.

Alexander’s brows and lips twitched. "Very good." He straightened up, and Lily eased, but she was not completely relieved.

The car soon stopped at its destination, and Lily thought her husband would take her back to his private residence. However, they had unexpectedly stopped at a spa club entrance. There were orangeyellow sign boards all around, making one feel at peace.

However, as Lily looked at her husband suspiciously,

he seemed to guess what she thought. "It’s too sudden to make many preparations today."

"It doesn't matter to me," Lily said softly. She knew their marriage was just a beneficial one, so there was no need for any extravagant ceremonies. But when she saw the rose-decorated restaurant, she felt sincerely touched.

Only two of them were in the vast restaurant. The staff had neatly arranged the dishes, and the waiter kept his distance, giving the couple enough room for their intimate night. It was apparent that Alexander had reserved the entire restaurant for him and his wife. He had the influence, but how did he do all that so quickly?

"We have plenty of privacy here, so don’t worry about this leaking on the news," Alexander said calmly while gracefully cutting into his steak.

"T-Thank you, Alex." Lily was typically good at speaking but did not know what to say in this situation.

Alexander stopped abruptly and raised his eyebrows, staring profoundly into Lily's eyes. "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for keeping your promise of working with me and for your arrangements in everything you did today," Lily responded. Although she was impulsive in marrying Alexander, Lily did not regret it.

Alexander lightly chuckled when he heard Lily's series of thanks. It was discreet, but one could tell he was delighted. Immediately after, Alexander placed the steak he had cut onto Lily's plate. He withdrew his fork and said thoughtfully, "There might be more for you to thank me for."

After a warm and romantic candlelit dinner, the couple entered a suite Alexander had prearranged. The suite was quite expansive, and there was a private hot tub. The sounds of its water would make one drift off into reverie.
