His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1307

“I wouldn’t mind that.” Lily noticed Anastasia looked weak and appeared tired after saying just a few words. “Do you get tired easily?”

With a pillow under her head, Anastasia nodded, her gaze lowered. “Yeah. I’m fat and lazy, so I get fatigued easily.”

“Are you lazy? You’re not,” Lily pointed to the few bonsai pots in the corner. “You managed those plants, didn’t you? How could you call yourself lazy when you could care for and prune those plants so well.”

Upon hearing that, Anastasia looked toward the plants. They had a lush appearance and were well-maintained. The most exciting thing about them was that Anastasia had pruned them into the shapes of cartoon animals.

“How did you know I was the one who pruned them?” Anastasia smiled. “Why didn’t you think the maids did it?”

Lily shook her head. “They wouldn’t have pruned the bonsai into such cute shapes if it were them. Only someone as innocent as a child would do something as such.”

“Innocent…” Anastasia repeated the word softly before she sighed. “I’m 21 this year. What innocence do I have left? Plus, no kid would look like this.”

Anastasia patted her belly, looking unhappy about it. Lily could tell Anastasia felt insecure and frustrated about her weight. After all, she was a girl, and all girls would feel insecure about their bodies, especially when they had extra meat on them.

Lily did not want to say things like her heart mattered instead of her appearance. After all, a young lady at her age who was born into a wealthy family would wish she was youthful and beautiful.

“Has your body been like this since you were a child, or did you suddenly gain a lot of weight?” Lily asked directly.

That made Anastasia tilt her head to look at Lily. Her gaze had a hint of sadness in them. “I guess…it’s since I was young. But I wasn’t this fat back then, perhaps just slightly chubbier than other kids.”
