His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 499

After bidding goodbye to Lisa, Lily went to the famous pastry shop in Sapphine to buy a box of shortbread and two cups of hot coffee. She put the two coffees in Thermos flasks to stay warm until she got home.

Alexander was seated with his legs crossed, reading. He turned the pages with one hand while holding an empty cup with the other. He lowered his head slightly, and a few strands of unruly hair hung around his face along his rimless glasses, giving him an elegant charm.

Although Alexander was not short-sighted, he had some astigmatism. It usually did not affect him unless he was reading, so he put his glasses on. Maybe it was because he rarely wore his glasses, or maybe it was just his good looks, but Lily would feel like she had fallen in love all over again every time she saw him with his glasses.

When Alexander heard the movement, he raised his head and saw Lily. Under the warm light, his eyes glimmered as he looked at her tenderly. At that moment, Lily felt her heart drop.

'This man is a sly fox!'

"You're back," he said and removed his glasses. His eyes regained their sharpness once he removed them.

Lily did not want to look like a creep and quickly changed into her house slippers before approaching Alexander to take his empty glass. “Why didn’t you refill your glass? Don’t you know how to take care of yourself?”

She took out the Thermos flask and shoved the hot, fragrant coffee into his hand. "Here! I remembered that you like this flavor."

Alexander chuckled and put away his documents. Then he opened the flask's lid and peeked into it before taking a sip. "How did you know that I like this?"

"Please! I’m your wife; how can I not know what you like?" Although Lily sounded courageous when she said this, her face was flushed.

After being with him for a long time, she knew a thing or two about his tastes and preferences. It was just that she was too preoccupied with work that she neglected him.
