Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1326: Willow, Don’t Lie to Me, Okay?

Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Willow, Don’t Lie to Me, Okay?

"Willow, are you overthinking? Why would Miles be angry? You do need math tutoring since you’re lagging in it, and brushing up on math will make you even more outstanding. Isn’t love supposed to make us better?" Vivi asked seriously.

Looking at Vivi’s innocent expression, Willow really didn’t know how to answer, and it seems like what Vivi said made a lot of sense.

"Willow, I don’t think Miles is that petty. Moreover, he’s so amazing, practically a math genius, and you struggle with math, which doesn’t make you two seem compatible. Once you’ve improved, the excellent you will not only surprise Miles greatly but will also make him admire and respect you more."

Willow was tempted. Miles is a math genius, and he has called her silly multiple times; he must look down on her struggles with math. If she secretly improves, it’ll surely give him a big surprise. Let’s see if he’ll continue calling her silly afterward!

Willow has never been interested in math, but now she’s full of determination. She didn’t expect her motivation would come from Miles.

"Thanks, Vivi, you’re the best~" Willow expressed her gratitude.

Quinn formally became Willow’s math tutor, and Willow asked, "Quinn, I heard you’re a judge for this year’s digital programming competition. Is this competition hard?"

Regarding this, Quinn was quite proud. Being a judge at such a young age brings him halo and glory. He nodded, "This competition is very tough, and the contestants are all geniuses. Getting first place will be extremely challenging."

Willow couldn’t help but worry for Miles, as he didn’t attend the math test that day, scoring zero, so she wasn’t sure where he stood among math geniuses.

"Willow, why are you so interested in the digital programming competition?"

"Oh, a friend of mine is participating in this year’s competition."

"I see. Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the mall’s bookstore. There’s a practice book that’s quite good. It might help with the competition."

"Really? That’s great! Thanks, Quinn."

Quinn looked at Willow, her eyes were shining. She was genuinely happy, it seemed that friend was very important to her.

"Willow, let me teach you this problem. It involves three-dimensional geometric thinking, testing spatial awareness. I think you’re lacking in this area."

Quinn identified Willow’s mathematical shortcomings and chose a problem to explain.

Willow found it coincidental; the problem was similar to the one she attempted beside Miles the other night.

But she couldn’t understand Quinn’s explanation.

She wondered if it was her own fault for being slow, or if Quinn’s explanation was ineffective, as she couldn’t grasp it.

That night, Miles casually drew a geometric figure, and she immediately understood.

"Willow, do you still not understand?" Quinn asked.

Willow shook her head, "Sorry, Quinn, I still don’t get it. Could you maybe... draw a diagram for me? A friend once drew a diagram for me, and I understood right away."

"Friend? That same friend participating in the digital programming competition?"

"Yeah, he’s amazing," Willow said softly, her eyes filled with stars.

Quinn realized it was that friend again. In just half an hour, Willow kept mentioning that friend.

Quinn felt a bit displeased; as a top talent among digital geniuses, he hadn’t met a rival yet. Everyone was focused on him, and he was used to admiration and attention, but Willow was an exception.

Her eyes weren’t on him; her focus wasn’t on him either. Her heart and mind were all about that friend, which left Quinn frustrated.

The key was that Willow questioned his teaching method. Could it be that she thought his teaching couldn’t compare to that friend’s casual drawing?

How amusing!

...

The next day, Willow went to school and encountered Miles at the school gate. Miles had come to school.

"Brother-in-law." Vivi greeted sweetly.

Willow, "..."

She suspected that Vivi’s "brother-in-law" might just scare Miles away.

"Vivi, don’t call him that!" Willow softly reminded.

"Got it, Willow. Brother-in-law, I’m off!" Vivi called again before running away.

Willow had a headache.

At this point, Miles came over, "Did you have breakfast?"

Willow nodded, "I did."

Miles had a bottle of milk in his hand. He inserted a straw and handed it to Willow, "For you."

He had brought milk for her.

"Thank you~" Willow took it and drank a sip, it was sweet, strawberry-flavored.

He seemed to particularly like buying strawberry-flavored things for her.

Willow once read a magazine which said that if a man always buys strawberry-flavored things for you, in his eyes, you’re his forever little girl.

"Miles, don’t mind Vivi’s random yelling earlier."

"What did she call me just now?"

"Brother-in-law."

Miles slowly curled his lips into a smile.

Why was he smiling?

Willow’s pretty face started to blush. Wasn’t he doing it on purpose?

He had clearly heard Vivi’s "Brother-in-law" yet made her repeat it for him. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He really was... naughty.

Just then, a "ding" sound came. Willow’s phone rang; she received a text message.

Willow opened the message; it was from Quinn Young. "Willow, don’t forget our meeting after school today."

The meeting was about going to the bookstore to buy materials for Miles.

Willow replied with "Okay."

Meanwhile, Miles’ deep, magnetic voice came in, "Who are you texting?"

Willow looked up to see Miles glancing at the phone before bringing his eyes to her face, subtly observing her with an inquisitive, sharp look.

Willow’s heart skipped a beat. Whether buying materials for him or secretly mastering math to catch up with him, it was all a secret, intending to surprise him.

Willow immediately hid her phone behind her, then shook her head, "No one... I’m just messaging a friend..."

She was naive, not good at lying. Whenever she lied, he could easily tell, just like now. Miles, "Is this friend female or male?"

Willow, "...Female."

Miles looked at her, silently watching for three seconds.

Those three seconds were particularly long and agonizing for Willow. His silent, wordless demeanor seemed dangerous. He was inherently indifferent and mysterious; when he silently stared at you, it was as if he could see right through you.

After three seconds, Miles curled his thin lips into a faint arc, half-smiling, "Willow, don’t lie to me, okay?"
