His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 145

Lily walked back to her room on tiptoes. After scanning her access card, she entered through the door and tried to appear as calm as possible.

"I’m surprised you're back." While closing the door, Lily heard a sarcastic voice behind her, making her tense up immediately.

"H-Hey! You’re awake?" Lily turned back to look at Jenny, sitting on the couch in her pajamas, watching her. It looked like she was waiting for Lily to return.

"Did I wake you? Oh, man. I wanted to throw our garbage downstairs and buy breakfast on the way back. I'm sorry for waking you up." Lily's words naturally flowed as she had gone over them in her mind earlier.

"Wow! Continue with your interesting story. I'm listening.” Jenny snorted.

"What story?" Lily blinked innocently, then said, "I'm tired. It must be because I woke up too early. I better get some more sleep now."

She stretched her arms as she spoke, wanting to walk to her bedroom. However, Jenny was quick to move. She stretched her leg and stopped Lily from taking another step. "You think I'll let you escape?"

Lily smiled helplessly. "Escape? What are you talking about? I just want to take a nap."

"No, you can't. Tell me honestly. Where were you off fooling around last night?" Jenny questioned in a righteous tone as if she was talking to a crime suspect.

Lily pursed her lips, finding Jenny's choice of words hilarious.

"Huh? Who would I fool around with? You? You were already asleep when I came out of the shower last night. I slept soon after that. I just woke up earlier than you today. What do you mean by fooling around? Mind your words."

After saying all that, Lily wanted to walk away, but Jenny would not allow her to do so. "I was awake since 1 a.m. last night, and you were already gone. If you slept, what time did you wake up? You meant to tell me that you woke up before 1 a.m. and went to throw the garbage, and you were doing that till now?"
