My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

“Alright”

The next day, Lily went to school as usual.

Her presence was immediately noticed as soon n as she stepped onto the campus.

“Lily’s back!” someone shouted from the crowd.

Excited voices quickly followed. “It’s really Lily! She’s finally back!”

“Yeah, Ember Creek would’ve been turned upside down if she hadn’t come back.”

Lily pulled her baseball cap lower, her expression cold and distant. The air she exuded was even more formidable than before. She radiated a powerful and oppressive energy that was hard to ignore.

She remained unfazed by the whispers around her and headed straight to Class 18.

The students in her class wanted to greet her, but the intense pressure around her made them hesitate. No one dared to approach her. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She walked to her seat and casually hung her bag on the back of her chair.

Anya hadn’t arrived yet, and Lily wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone either. She put on her oversized headphones, rested her head on the desk, and fell sleep.

Sean

who was s

sitting in the back row, was initially tired. Upon seeing Lily, he instantly perked up. He had just thought of approaching her when the bell for class rang, so he had to give up.

Lily slept through until the end of morning classes without anyone disturbing her.

What mattered the most was her outstanding midterm exam scores, which was why the teachers consciously gave her some leniency.

Stretching lazily, she prepared to get up and go for lunch, only to find that Anya wasn’t here. Normally, Anya would wait for her to go to the cafeteria together. She turned her head to look for lan, only to find that he wasn’t here either.

Lily narrowed her eyes and saw Sean slating in his seat, looking uneasy. She gestured for him to come over. “Come here.”

“Huh?” Sean was startled as he was suddenly called out and quickly stood up. “L–Lily, are you talking to me?”

He didn’t usually exchange words with her, but he had wanted to look for her today. It was just that he couldn’t find the opportunity.

Now that he was suddenly called upon, he was a little bewildered.

“Where did Anya and lan go?” Lily leaned back lazily in her chair.,

“T–They Sean’s gaze shifted around as he lowered his head. “I don’t know either.”

She tilted her head, her eyes slightly narrowed. “You really don’t know?”

“Yeah, I don’t.” He took a deep breath, steadying himself.

Lily glanced at him meaningfully. After a moment, she stood up abruptly. “Alright.”

With that, she left the classroom without looking back

At that moment, only Sean and a boy with a buzz cut remained in Class 18.

The boy sat beside him and asked, “Why didn’t you tell Lily that Anya and Tan are in the hospital?”

“I wanted to tell her, but lan insisted that we shouldn’t. He warned us repeatedly not to tell her about this. It would only harm her if we did,” Sean said helplessly.

“But…” The boy sighed. “Oh, tan’s right. Lily has done enough for our class. We can’t cause more trouble for her.”

Just as he finished speaking, someone kicked the classroom door open with a loud bang.

Sean and the boy turned around, jumping in fright from their chairs. “Lily, didn’t you leave to have lunch?”

Lily gaze sweeping over Sean. “What happened to Anya and lan?”

“Lily, please don’t ask about it. They told me not to say anything about it,” Sean said with a pained expression. She raised her eyes slightly, and Sean saw a cold glint shooting straight at him.
