His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 24

Alexander laughed as if he guessed what Lily was thinking. “I‘m not a pervert who monitors people. I

can see and hear with my eyes and ears.”

Suddenly, he poked Lily‘s stomach, and she dodged as it tickled. That was when Lily realized her

stomach growled with hunger.

Alexander took her to the Sky Garden Restaurant located halfway along the hill. This restaurant was

famous in town, not only for its unique design but also for its magnificent view.

In a mainstream society where Asian cuisine symbolized high–class identity, Sky Garden also served

Western Cuisine, which their senior chefs specialized in. The restaurant had a dish from every culture

for everyone.

Of course, it was pricey, and some could not afford to enjoy their delicacies. Still, most who wanted to

eat at Sky Garden would need to make a reservation, even if certain people had reserved seats like

VIP guests.

Lily looked at a woman sitting across from her, taking the menu gracefully and handing it to her man.

The waiters served them as soon as their car drove in. It looked like they had reserved their places

beforehand.

“You can order first,” Alexander said.

“What kind of cuisine would the lady prefer? We have specialized menus for you to choose from.” The

waiter served them attentively. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

After some thought, Lily responded, ” How about American cuisine.”

Then she raised her eyes to look at Alexander. “Are you used to eating this kind of cuisine?”

“I am fine with anything,” He said casually.

It was not that she was a picky eater, but the prices Lily saw on her menu were staggering. She knew it

was pricey but did not expect it to be that expensive. Although she did not have to pay for it, the prices

stung her heart.

“What‘s the matter?” Alexander cast his questioning eyes over when Lily did not move for some time.

“I–It‘s nothing. I‘m just a little spoiled for choice,” Lily said half–jokingly, but it was apparent she had

trouble choosing what she wanted to eat.

After taking a deep look at her, Alexander looked at the waiter. “Please serve some of your Western

signature dishes for now. She‘ll look at the rest later.” “Of course!” The waiter quickly placed their order,

and Lily accepted the offer willingly. Since Alexander had ordered for her, she did not have to worry

about it. Lily closed the menu and put it aside to avoid looking at its terrifying numbers. She was not

poor. It was just that she seldom lived a luxurious life. Nathaniel often instilled a sense of frugalness

during their entrepreneurial period, so Lily got used to it over time. Habits were such a scary thing.

The restaurant was quick to serve its dishes. It had only been a while, but Lily‘s phone rang as soon as

she took her first bite. Olivia’s name flashed on the screen, so Lily glanced at Alexander apologetically,

picked up the phone, and answered it.

“Lily, I‘ve applied for leave,” Olivia said directly.

“Did he approve it?” Lily guessed it as she noticed Olivia‘s pleasant voice over the phone.

“He approved it immediately! Lily, you guessed right. He probably wants me to stay far away for now.

He gave me extra days off when I told him it was for my vacation. You knew he‘d been waiting for this

moment!” “I know.” Olivia’s voice was so loud that Alexander probably could hear her. Lily cleared her

throat embarrassedly. “Then go and have fun!”

“Come on, Lily, how can I go on vacation at a critical moment like this? Don‘t you need me to stay back

to help you? I can be your witness if Nathaniel wants to blame everything on you!“
