A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 39

Not a normal man can go to the New York branch.

And she is not willing to be alone in a foreign country, it is too difficult. She has no ambitions. It will be good for her to have enough money and with her family by her side.

Louis knows that Lily doesn’t want to leave, so he doesn’t force her.

He has no right to interfere in her choice.

In the afternoon, the study is very quiet. Both of them are dealing with things. When Lily looks up from the last document, she finds that it is dark outside the window.

Unconsciously, she stays at Louis' house for a day!

Seeing that Louis is still busy working tirelessly, Lily does not disturb him, and quietly leaves the study room, intending to prepare for the dinner before she goes back home. When she goes downstairs, she receives a call from Jessie.

"Lily, are you still busy outside?"

"I am at Mr. Louis's house." Lily tells Jessie about what happened at the reception, and she says that what Jessie has said is not right. She doesn’t meet any man who can attract her, and no one confesses his loves for her.

"Oh, at Mr. Louis's?" Jessie drawls, and says ambiguously, "Do you spend the night with him?"

"What are you thinking about? I'm just going to pay him back favors." She is speechless for what she says. “Didn't you say that Mr. Louis is not good?"

"I only said that Mr. Louis will get married at a mature age, but I didn't say that he is no good!" Jessie says innocently, "Anyway, I don't mean to let you marry him. If you hit it off, why not start a relationship?"

Lily says, "Come on, I am not interested in that. Didn’t you see it last time? With the vicious woman Chloe by his side, no woman would be fine with Mr. Louis."

She has nothing to do with Louis, but she is hated by Chloe.

Wouldn’t it be worse if she has a relationship with Louis?

Lily sees that it is getting late, and hurries to cook. She warns Jessie not to eat take out. She will take some meals back. Jessie kisses on the phone and says goodbye to Lily.

Because it is dinner, Lily makes lighter dishes, and the pigeon soup stewed in the afternoon is ready. She just takes the purple casserole from the stove, and it suddenly gets dark, which frightens her.

Is the power off?

But it is only that this villa’s power is off, the street lights are still on. Lily thinks it is just tripping, and she turns on the mobile phone torch for lighting, and goes to the study to find Louis.

"Mr. Louis, does it trip?" Lily knocks on the study door, and asks, “Do you know where the main switch is?"

"Mr. Louis?"

Lily knocks on the door several times in a row, but no one answers. She goes into the study and it is empty. Louis in not there. Lily, who is in the dark, is nervous.

When she went downstairs to cook, Louis was still in the study.

There are seven or eight rooms on the second floor. In such a large and quiet space, Lily could even hear her breathing, and the light of her phone is dim.

"Louis? Lo… Louis?" Lily walks against the wall, her calves trembling, “Where are you, can you hear me?"

She doesn't understand why does he live in such a big villa alone?

Lily walks very slowly, afraid that something might come out suddenly. She takes the mobile torch to light back and forth. When she hears some sound coming from the bedroom, she runs over immediately.

"Louis, are you inside?" Lily pats the bedroom door.

"This is my house, if it’s not me, who would be here?" Louis's voice sounds dull. “The bathroom door is stuck. You come in with a torch and open it."

"Okay, wait a minute." Lily unscrews the bedroom door and walks in.

The layout of the bedroom is not complicated. Lily takes the mobile phone flashlight and finds the bathroom. She finds that the corner of the carpet is stuck under the bathroom door, which causes the man inside to be unable to open it.

"Louis, the carpet is stuck in the door." She explains to Louis and reaches for it with her hand, but it is stuck too tight and she couldn't pull it off, “How about you back away, I will kick the door open."

"Are your legs so powerful?" Louis doubts.

Lily glances at the bathroom door lock, which is a very common lock, "It might work. I will try it first."

"Well."

When Louis says that he has stepped away, Lily steps back, takes a deep breath, and kicks her foot on the door lock.

The first time it doesn’t work.

Lily shakes her foot and kicks on it again. It works this time. The door is open

"Mr. Louis." Lily glances at the bathroom with her torch and sees Louis. His shirt sleeves are stained with blood. Obviously, the wound is dehiscent. “You are bleeding, are you okay?"

She is anxious to see how Louis' wound is. Unexpectedly, there is water in the bathroom floor tiles. She steps in and slides down, then she flies to the ground, and her phone flies out.

Louis grabs her arms with feeling.

Lily thrashes with both hands, and happens to scratch his wound. Louis does not stand firm and backs up, hitting the shower switch, and Lily bumps into his arms.

The shower on the top is opened, and the water wet them all.

The light suddenly turns on.

Lily is trembling under the cold water. When the light is on, she quickly turns off the shower and finds that Louis is also very embarrassed. His wet short hair attaches to his forehead, and his face looks sullen.

She hurriedly pulls the bath towel on the shelf and hands to him trembling, "Mr. Louis, towel."

"I let you to open the door, and you really did a good job" Louis's voice is cold, "Am I tied up with a rope? Do I need you to come in and save me?"

He has never seen such a stupid woman!

"I think your wound is bleeding, and I am just worried." Lily smirks, knowing it is her fault.

"Go out, I change the clothes!"

Lily wants to say that he should treat the wound first. Seeing that Louis's face is so serious, she doesn’t say anything and goes out.

"Really, I didn’t mean it, and he is too fierce." Lily is still whispering after going downstairs. Fortunately, she wears a thick vest, and it is fine to take off her shirt.

She is embarrassed to ask Louis if there is a dry towel, so she twists her clothes casually and plans to go home to deal with it.

As soon as she opens the door, she bumps into Chloe outside.

"Louis, I..." Chloe carries a cake box and smiles. After seeing Lily opening the door, she stops talking and her eyes widen instantly.

Why is this woman here?

Chloe is very dissatisfied. After sweeping over Lily's dress, the cake box in his hand falls down, and it messes up the door.

Lily didn’t expect Chloe to come. She looks down at herself. It seems it is difficult to explain.

"Ah, Lily, I'm going to kill you!" As soon as Lily is ready to speak, Chloe screams out loud, and slams her face, “You are so shameless!"

Lily quickly grabs her wrist, and her face is cold "I want to ask Miss Chloe is so uncivil and loves to hit others?"

She doesn’t want to have a bad relationship with Chloe, because she is afraid that Chloe would embarrass Joey in the entertainment industry.

But she is not stupid, she will stand and let others hit her!

"What are you talking about? I am uncivil?!" Chloe's eyes widen and she is more furious. She wants to slaps Lily with another slap.

Lily grabs her two hands tightly.

Chloe couldn't free her hands out, and then she yells at Lily, "You are shameless. You even set a trap for your ex-husband, so that he lost his reputation and is expelled."
