My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily and Loid)

Chapter 38

On their way back to Amer Heights, Shaun could’t contain his frustration at Susan’s behavior. He turned to Lily and asked, “Is that really your mother?

Lily propped her chin on her hand, a cheeky grin spreading across her face “Yes, that’s her.”

Shaun squinted, pondering for a moment and then blurting out, “I can’t help but feel Ske you’re adopted. Why don’t you go for a paternity test?”

He couldn’t shake the feeling that Susan and Lily weren’t biologically related. What kind of mother created her own child like that?

Growing up without parents, she had never experienced parental love. Melanie was the only person besides her grandmother who had ever shown her warmth. While many people who approached her had ulterior motives, Melanie was different.

Melanie’s gaze held a calm sincerity, and there wasn’t a hint of pretense. Her warmth toward Lily was genuine. Melanie provided Lily with the affection

Concerned about Lily’s emotional state, Loid said, “My mother really likes you ”

A faint smile curled Lily’s lips as she glanced at him. “Thank you,” she said ina flat tone.
