His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 193

Nothing was set in stone, after all, and one must be smart enough to think outside the box and find other ways to deal with life.

'I should stop playing defensively and strike back whenever someone provokes me. It's about time I retaliate and show those two I'm not someone to be trifled with.’

When Alexander arrived home, the sight of Lily lying on her stomach on the couch welcomed him. Her laptop was in front of her as her fingers gracefully typed away on her keyboard. Lily crossed her calves mid-air while focusing all her attention on the screen.

It was rare to see Lily working on her laptop at home in such a position. Alexander put down his things and changed into his house slippers before peeking over to see what Lily was doing. She had several tabs on her screen, registering for a troll account on a certain website.

"What's up?" Alexander went to pour himself a glass of water and brought one for Lily as well.

Lily adjusted her posture and sat cross-legged with her laptop on her thighs. She reached for the glass and took a sip, but her gaze remained fixed on the screen. "Someone wants to play, so I have no choice but to play along."

Considering Lily's expression and tone, Alexander knew someone had made her unhappy.

"Who has such power to anger my dear Lily?" Alexander said as he unbuttoned the two top buttons of his dress shirt, allowing himself to relax after a tense day at work.

In the past, he felt the same regardless if he returned home or stayed out the entire night. This house was just a place for him to sleep, after all. However, since they married, he had expectations of building a home with Lily.

He looked forward to returning home to see her, hear her voice, or talk to her about all sorts of things that affected their emotions during the day.

'She looks confident, so I guess she won't need my help.’
