His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 916

Lily was initially startled when she realized something was wrong. Then, she relaxed before gently stroking his back, trying to comfort him.

Olivia, who was at the corner, was surprised as well. Looking at them, she realized it was no longer appropriate for her to be there. As a result, she quickly grabbed her belongings before signaling to Lily that she was leaving and tip-toed away.

The couple was left in the room alone. Lily did not speak and allowed him to continue hugging her in silence. After a while, Alexander's breathing gradually calmed down, and he did not seem so upset anymore.

He slowly let go of her and looked down. "Did I hurt you?"

Although he didn't hurt her, the pressure from his head made her shoulders a little sore.

"No," Lily replied, shrugging her shoulders and smiling. "Why are you back? Didn't I tell you not to worry? I wouldn’t open the door for her, nor would I go out to meet her. Olivia is also here with me. What is there for you to be worried about?"

"You don't understand," he said. "You don't know how despicable they are."

Lily did not reply.

She did not quite understand who he was referring to. It was only Celine outside. Could he mean the entire Russell family?

"No matter how despicable they are, they're all outsiders if we don't let them in. I believe you're strong enough to handle them," Lily said warmly as she held his hand.

Although her hand was small, it gave him strength and warmth. He was so used to struggling alone, but now, he had her.

He let out a sigh of relief as he reached out to pull her back into his embrace.

"I'm sorry. I lost control of my emotions."
