His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1384

Austin was eager to show off his achievement for the past two days and perked up after seeing Lily now.

“You’re early today. I thought you didn’t dare to return after succeeding one time by a fluke.” Austin clicked his tongue. “You have no idea, do you? I’m going to pull off what you’ve failed to do after researching for so long. I’ll surpass you in no time!”

Lily did not bother to argue with him and was not interested in senseless comparisons like this. “Where’s Professor Thompson?”

“It’s still so early. I think Professor Thompson should still be in bed.” Indeed, Austin had not seen the older man. More accurately, there were few people in the research institute so early in the morning. Besides the ones working the night shift, he believed that few were so dedicated and would work overnight like him.

He glanced around himself and said, “Don’t change the subject! I know you surely don’t believe I can pull it off, but I’m going to show you my true capabilities using facts!”

“You didn’t shut up long enough last time, did you? Would you like to try it again?” Lily thought Austin was too noisy and lifted her two fingers to scare him.

Austin was shocked and took two steps back despite himself. Although he would not admit it, he was still terrified by what happened the last time. “Y-You, stay away from me! Enough of your sorcery. I know it had to be some sleight of hand or magic trick. Or did you use an anesthetic?”

Lily thought it was ridiculous that he would instead assume it was magic than admit that she knew acupuncture. However, it did not matter since she did not care what he thought.

“If you’re aware that I know black magic, stop babbling in my presence. You’re a man, and all you do is look down on women and bluff. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Lily turned and walked off. She had an urgent matter to discuss with Thompson and had no time to entertain Austin.
