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

In the afternoon, Loid’s car had been waiting at the entrance to Ember Creek High School. 

Shannon learned that Loid would fetch Lily after school daily. Therefore, she was the first to leave her classroom that day even though she had always been the last one to go. 

As expected, Loid’s car was waiting at the entrance. Feeling delighted, Shannon clutched the straps of her backpack and nervously walked over to his car, “Loid, Lily wants me to head back to Anmer Heights with you because she’s having trouble adjusting to life there.” 

Shaun rolled down the window of the front passenger seat. He taunted her, “Ms. Martinez, you’re quite persistent, aren’t you?“” 

She visibly looked deflated Biting her lip, she put on a pitiful expression. 

Loid glanced at her. After that, he noticed Lily slowly walking out of campus. He opened the car door and approached Lily, leaving behind Shannon. 

He took Lily’s bag for her and held her hand. Lily allowed him to guide her. They looked picture–perfect, but the sight stirred up the resentment in Shannon. 

Once Lold and Lily boarded the car, Shannon tried to keep her emotions in check and followed suit. However, Loid suddenly addressed her in an ky tone, “Ms. Martinez, we have no more space for you. Why don’t you take your family’s car? 

“But there’s one mace seat in the car…” Holding back her tears, she feebly pointed at the empty seat, 

“The seats at the back are for me and Lily. It’s inappropriate for you to join us in the back. We need more time with each other since we’re newly engager 

“1..” Shannon stared at her feet and tried to hold back her tears. Soon, she looked up and flashed him a demure smile. “Ah, that wasn’t too thoughtful of me. You and Lily should head home before me.” 

Loid grunted, and Daniel immediately started the engine. 

When their car sped away, Shannon angrily tossed her bag onto the floor. She had clearly seen Shaun sitting at the back of Loid’s car! Loid had simply made up an excuse to stop her from taking his car. 

The Martinezes‘ driver arrived to pick Shannon up. She calmed down, picked up her bag, and tossed it into the car. Her eyes gleamed with malice 

She silently reassured herself, “Take your time. As long as you get to move into Anmer Heights, you’ll one day win Loid’s heart.” 

“Let’s go.” She buckled the seatbelt and coldly addressed the driver. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Loid and Lily did not head right back to Anmer Heights. Instead, they had lunch at a hotel downtown 

It was a simple lunch that was supposed to be done in ten minutes, yet they spent nearly two hours at the hotel before heading home. 

They arrived home when it was close to 10:00 pm. They found Shannon weeping silently on the steps of the gate when their car entered the grounds. 

“Ms. Martinez, why are you here? Didn’t ask you to bead into the house?” 

Shannon couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. “The security refused to let me in. I don’t have your number, Loid, so I called Lily, but she didn’t pick up.” 

Loid looked as if he had come to a realization. He gave her an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, I forgot to inform the security about your arrival” Then, he turned to Lily and asked in an accusatory tone, “Why didn’t you pick up her calls?” 

Leaning ber head on her palm, Lily shot him an amused look “oh, I forgot that I set my phone to silent mode during my class.” 

Loid’s 

‘s expression darkened, and hsaid sternly, “Be more mindful. She’s your sister, after all. I feel bad as her host for keeping her waiting” 

“Sure.“The grin on Lily’s lips deepened. She seemed amused at Lold’s excellent acting 

Meanwhile, Shannon felt much better after Loid confronted Lily. She wiped away her tears and whispered, “Loid, please don’t be angry at Lily. I’m sure she didn’t do it on purpose. 

“Of course, I know that she couldn’t have deliberately missed your calls because you’re her sister. What say you, Ms. Martinez?” Loid held Lily’s hand and smiled at Shannon. Shannon froze. “Trah. Of course.” 

“We’ll make a move now. Ms. Martinez, follow us.” Then, Load started the engine of his car before Shannon had the time to react. “Loid,..” She angrily stomped her fert.
