His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 394

Lily's smile widened when she noticed he was looking at her.

Nick was a little surprised when Lily smiled at him. He stared at her for a while as his tense little face relaxed, and a glimmer of a smile appeared.

The smile appeared to vanish in an instant because it was so brief. Lily did not rush to speak but instead offered him her hand. Her fingers curled slightly, and the palm face-up as if to extend an invitation.

Looking at the hand full of kindness, he hesitated for a while, then carefully placed his little hand into her palm. Lily immediately held his hand and smiled even brighter at him.

Then, she got a surprise. Nick's arms flew open, and he rushed to her, hugging her tightly. Lily was taken aback as she only wanted to soothe him. She did not expect him to be so vulnerable with her.

Holding him gently while stroking his back with one hand to comfort him, she could feel that he was in distress. Mike watched the scene silently as his eyes brightened up.

Eventually, Nick's trembling body gradually calmed down, and the arms holding her were no longer so tight. Lily tried to stand up while carrying him but her legs were shaky from having sat for too long.

After giving her a hand and taking the child from her arms, Mike said, “Thank you!”

With a slight smile, Lily shook the child's tiny hand and said kindly, "Anyway, don’t argue in front of the kid. It will have a great psychological impact on him.”

"Yeah," Mike nodded, but he felt it was a shame, "Nick likes you very much. If you’re not in a rush to leave, I was hoping you could stay with him for a couple more days."

"Yeah, Lily, do you have to go back? Think about the great opportunities if you stay! My dad's team is excellent. You’ll definitely have a good career path!" Lisa quickly persuaded.

Mike also agreed with what Lisa said and replied, "The prospects for developing here are indeed excellent. Since you’re so talented in the perfumery business, don't you want to seek a better future? Besides, if you encounter any difficulties here, I can help you too."

"No," Lily shook her head, insisting, "I still prefer to develop in the local industry. No matter where I am, I’ll create my own future!"

There seemed to be little chance of persuading her, but Nick was reluctant to let her leave.

"Miss Lily," he said in a low voice, with no additional words and a look of apprehension in his eyes.

"If there’s a chance in the future, ask your father to let you visit me. I’ll bring you out to eat!" Lily said warmly as she tapped his little face.

Nick turned his head to look at his father as if waiting for his answer, and Mike nodded, "Definitely!"
