His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1109

Margaret was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea when Lily came downstairs.

Lily noted that Margaret seemed a little tired but did not harbor an air of menace. Margaret probably was not here for a fight. "Grandma," Lily called out as she walked over to Margaret.

"Slow down. You’re pregnant now. Don’t rush when walking, and be careful. Don’t jump around like before," Margaret said when she saw Lily’s belly.

"I know. Why are you here today?" Lily nodded at Margaret’s show of concern and smiled.

Margaret put down the teacup and looked around. "Is Alex not home?"

"He’s usually at the company at this time and isn’t back yet. You should know that, right Grandma?" Lily replied. Her words implied that Margaret should know this and have a purpose in coming at this hour.

Margaret coughed dryly to cover up her embarrassment when Lily had exposed her intention. She then picked up the teacup once again and took a sip. "Yeah, he should still be at the company at this hour. He’s just like his grandfather. Hugo was also very diligent and was always a busy man.”

There was a hint of sadness in Margaret’s eyes. She was thinking of the past and her late husband.

Lily could grasp what Margaret wanted to convey and kept silent.

"Oh my, why am I talking about this?" Margaret returned to her senses after a brief moment of silence. She waved away her thoughts as she smiled at Lily sitting opposite her. "Lily, come sit here." She patted the seat next to her.

Lily did not know how to respond. She was not used to being treated so intimately all of a sudden. However, she did not refuse as she felt that Margaret was doing this out of kindness.
