All Chapters of Saved To Be A Substitute: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Lillian's POV"What gift?" I asked, feeling a sudden wave of curiosity.Alexander looked up at me and gasped as if he hadn't meant for me to hear what he said."What is it?" I pressed, searching his face. "You look pale again," I added, reaching for him."Nothing," Alexander stuttered, shaking his head. "It's just a—""Alex, don't hide anything from me," I said, my tone pleading. "We've been having so many issues in our relationship because we've hidden things from each other. Let's not do that again, please..."I watched him swallow a lump in his throat, and lower his gaze."I didn't mean to hide anything from you," He said with a sigh. "It's just that I didn't want to bother you.""You aren't bothering me," I said with a soft smile. I held his face gently and whispered, "You're my husband, and you can share your troubles with me. I'll do the same too."His expression softened at my words."I received an envelope earlier," Alexander revealed."Envelope? You mean the one that was slip

Lillian's POV."I love you," I whispered against his lips before kissing him deeper.I had forgotten for a second that people were around until the attendant cleared her throat. I broke the kiss and turned to her with an apologetic smile."I'm sorry," I apologized."It's nothing. I'm happy for both of you," she replied with a genuine smile. "So, will you be taking the ring or do you still want to check for more?""No, I love this one," I said, smiling broadly. "It's exactly what I want. It's simple, elegant, and exquisite at the same time. It's my style and what I would be comfortable wearing.""I'm glad that you like it. I also see that it fits, so I guess we are settled," she muttered, extending her hand."Yes, thanks," I sighed, removing the ring and handing it over.She kept it back in the box and packaged it."We also want to purchase wedding rings," Alexander said with a wide smile."That's wonderful," the attendant laughed softly. "Let me keep this aside and show you a few mor

Alexander's POV."How can you just demand something like that from me?" I gasped, my voice laced with shock. "What you are even asking is absurd! Why would I divorce my wife to please your spoilt daughter?" I snapped. "You aren't even thinking of my wife's feelings or mine.""Your mother promised that my daughter would marry you!" He spat, his voice thick with anger. "She made us reject good suitors that would have made my daughter happy. She gave my daughter hope that you would be with her. Only for you to insult and degrade her!""I never degraded her!" I argued. "I just gave her a taste of her own medicine. She kept degrading my wife, and I refused to let that continue.""Moreover, I didn't say I was going to marry your daughter. My mother made that promise on her own, and you don't have to blame me because you foolishly went along with it," I argued further, unable to contain the rage within me."Don't you dare talk to me that way!" Mr Smith sneered. "You'll show me some respect!

Alexander's POV.I turned off my phone and walked to Lillian. She had already slept off. Smiling, I sat beside her and brushed my fingers through her hair.She didn't sleep well last night because she was so excited about coming to the company today. I tried getting her to sleep when she woke up early, but she didn't."My beautiful Freckles," I said with a soft smile. "No one is going to separate us from each other, okay?""We'll officially get engaged and marry. Anyone that's going to stop that will suffer my wrath," I sneered, lowering my lips to her forehead.I kissed her gently. I watched her sleep peacefully, completely abandoning my work. I didn't care about it at that moment.Eventually, I had to finish my work and do some things with Gwen. By the time Lillian woke up, it was already evening. Most of the employees had left except those who were working overtime. "What time is it?" she asked, yawning between her words. "It's late already," I replied with a gentle smile. "You m

Alexander's POV."What is he doing here?" my father sneered, his voice thick with anger. "I don't want him anywhere near my gate. Tell him that no one in this house is interested in seeing him. If he doesn't leave, we'll call the cops.""Alright sir," the maid nodded, prepared to carry out his command. "Tell him he has five minutes to leave this vicinity, nothing more. If he doesn't want another scandal, he better leave," he added sharply. The maid gave another nod and exited the dining room. "We have nothing to do with their family anymore," my father spat, his anger palpable. "I want us to cut ties with them completely. It's a drastic decision, but it's for the best.""Thank you, Dad," I replied, feeling a sense of relief. "There's no need to thank me. I'm your father, and I'm supposed to protect you," he said, his tone softening with affection. "I'm sorry for not being around when the harassment began." "Yeah, it's okay," I replied, flashing a small smile.I was used to his ab
