Chapter 12


    Lily approached Alexander meekly but saw himn turn toward atable. Then he pointed his chin toward


    the table and said, “Drink that and go to sleep.”


    Lily looked at the drink – it was hot chocte. She was amazed that Alexander was so considerate and


    had prepared a lot for her in such a short time. Lily pursed her lips and drank the hot chocte


    obediently. Her lower abdomen felt warm and rxed as she sat on the bed. She almost dozed off.


    Alexander dimmed the lights and nced at her, “What is it?”


    Lily could not hold back her yawn as she sleepily asked, “Aren‘t youing to bed?”


    “I‘ll sleepter. Don‘t worry about me,” Alexander responded. He adjusted his wife‘s pillow and tucked


    her in attentively. He sat down again and adjusted the air conditioner‘s temperature before taking


    another sip of coffee.


    Lily watched her husband‘s movements drowsily as a faint yellow light bounced off him, reflecting on


    his face. He appeared blurry with a vague outline. Alexander was extraordinarily handsome and


    wless from every angle. How had Lily not noticed it before?

    She watched him and noticed he was drinking ck coffee. Lily could not help but say, “Y–You can‘t fall


    asleep if you drink coffee at night.” Alexander put down the cup in his hand and casually asked, “What


    else do I drink then?” However, there was no response. The woman was leaning on the bed, still half–


    recumbent. Her eyes were closed as she snored slightly. She fell asleep rather quickly. Alexander


    smiled and looked at Lily. He stopped reading his documents and emails, put hisptop aside, and


    dimmed the lights. Then he moved around to the other side of the bed, lifted the nket, and prepared


    to sleep.


    He hugged Lily gently from behind, unsure if he had woken her up. Lily grunted lowly, turned around to


    face Alexander, and hugged him back. Alexander raised his eyebrows and adjusted Lily‘s sleeping


    position, stretching out to embrace her. Lily was in Alexander‘s arms, but they did not do anything even


    though it was their wedding night.


    Lily woke up feeling refreshed the following day, without difort from her period. She realized she


    had not slept so soundly in a long time. She wanted to stretch her waist but could not because


    someone was lying beside her.


    Moreover, Lily‘s head was resting on the person‘s arm. She hurriedly sat up and scratched her head.


    Then her memories gradually returned, and she remembered she had gotten married the previous day.


    “You‘re awake already?” Alexander‘s low voice sounded from beside Lily.


    Lily nodded. “Good morning.” “Are you hungry,” Alexander asked. “N–Not really,” Lily responded. She


    usually lived alone and had never shared a bed with anyone else, so she was not used to having


    someone by her side as soon as she woke up. “All right, but I am.” Alexander leaned close to Lily, his


    eyes presumptuous and passionate. He


    snuggled close to her, almost touching Lily‘s earlobe. “Go and call for room service. The phone is just


    outside.”


    “Okay!” Lily immediately jumped out of bed and bolted out.


    Alexander smiled as he looked at his wife leaving. Then he frowned and moved his arm only to find his


    muscles numb.
