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?

Abandoning her daughter at birth was bad enough. But Susan even brought Lilyback for her own gain. If she was determined to have Lily in her life, she should at least treat her

However, Susan not only looked down on Lily but also threatened her at every born. Was this how a mother should behave?

“Right?” Lily laughed with a carefree fone.

Shaun couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for her. In fact, Lily had already done a paternity test. The day Susan found her, she had taken Susan’s DNA for a test. The results were disappointing–she was indeed Susan’s biological daughter.

“From now on, you won’t have to deal with her anymore. No one in the Laurier family will dare to bully you. If anyone does, I’ll beat them up for you.” Shaun declared nonchalantly “Besides, Mrs. Laurier is a very kind person. She’ll definitely treat you like her own daughter. You don’t need a mother like Susan.”

Lily’s eyes softened at the mention of Melanie.

She had a rather introverted personalty, which made it difficult for her to get along with many people.

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
