His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1392

Lily smiled lightly. "Who told you?"

Anastasia stiffened. Her fair skin betrayed the redness that appeared on her face.

"N-No one. I was just curious."

There was a conflict in her heart. On the one hand, questioning Lily like this felt like she distrusted her friend. How could she believe a stranger so easily? On the other hand, Anastasia had some doubts about Lily.

The man told Anastasia that she had been put under a spell, and he said all of this confidently. It was her own body that was put at risk.

"Is it Austin?" Lily asked after thinking about it. He was the only one who would get in between her and Anastasia, belittling Lily in various ways.

She had never met a man as petty as he was. She had nothing against him. All the times he had fought against, belittled, and suppressed her were due to his sexism. Lily was bored with it.

After being called out, Anastasia couldn't hold herself back and lowered her gaze before softly muttering, "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. It's normal to grow a little suspicious, and it's good to be a little wary of people." Lily smiled faintly. She wasn't trying to comfort Anastasia in any way. Instead, Lily was telling the truth.

Once upon a time, she also gave her heart and soul to people without reservation. Ultimately, she was betrayed by the ones she trusted the most. Trust was good, but being a little wary was a form of self-protection. There was nothing wrong with that.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you! After all, you've been nothing but kind to me. These days are the happiest I’ve been in the past few years. Even if I didn't lose weight, I would remember these few days of happiness forever!"

The more Lily was kind about this, the guiltier Anastasia felt. She felt foolish for ever having doubted her friend, especially after a man said, "Silly girl, who told you you couldn't lose weight?!"
