A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 154

She realizes that she can’t continue to hide and could only turn around to face him and smiles awkwardly.

“President Smith, do you want to eat some apples?”

“Yes.”

Lily didn’t expect him to be so direct. She then picks up a knife to peel the skin.

It is very awkward!

Had she known that it would be so awkward to face President Smith, she wouldn’t have agreed to come with Leigh.

The atmosphere in the kitchen is awkwardly silent until Louis speaks, “Lily, are you avoiding me because of what happened?”

He actually feels uneasy when Lily didn’t contact him during this period, it’s like he is missing her naggings.

Furthermore, he can’t go to the office due to his health conditions.

Once he says this, Lily thinks about the kiss at the bathroom and becomes even more awkward, “No, it’s because of the work at the office, plus that Richard didn’t make any moves and I’m curious what he is waiting for.”

After cutting the apple in half, Lily changes the subject, “I’m here today to discuss an issue with President Smith. With regards to Richard, what do you think he is waiting for?”

Louis takes the apple and calmly says, “He’s waiting for the most opportune time. Apart from the original shares of those shareholders, his and yours are about the same. But he didn’t accumulate much; most of them are in my father’s hands.”

His words are profound and Lily only understands after a while.

Lily says, “His ill intentions are well known to all, Master Smith wouldn’t give him the shares.”

After saying, she thinks of something and becomes very nervous, “Do you think that Richard will harm Master Smith if he becomes desperate?”

“He wouldn’t dare even if he wants to.” Louis says calmly but his eyes are intense, “If any members of the Smith family dares to harm my father, I’ll disband the family!”

Lily understands that he’s a man of his words.

Louis was adopted and raised by Master Smith and had long regarded him as his father.

But Lily couldn’t understand why such a talented man like Louis was hated so much by his parents and abandoned by them.

What would he be like if he didn’t meet Master Smith?

As she ponders on this, she looks at him again and Lily’s heart starts to ache, she sighs and changes the topic, “Then President Smith, can you tell me what do you intend to do?”

“No.”

Lily is stunned, “What? No plans?”

“Yes, I’ll counter it when it happens.” Louis sees her shocked state and laughs inside him. “Additionally, you have gotten used to the duties as a director and your adaptation abilities are very strong. Even if something happens to me, I believe that you can handle it. At that time when I was in a coma after the accident, wasn’t the work at the company all done by you?”

From convincing her to go to Turkey, to making her a manager of the special department, and to her methods of dealing with issues after taking over the company, he took note of it all and had witnessed her changes.

This woman is like a buried pearl. So long as the sand is removed, she will be able to shine.

He is different from John Dawn.

John likes to hide Lily and let her stay comfortably in a cage, not letting her suffer, but Louis would let her do what she likes, letting her realize her potential.

Rather than being sheltered, it is better for her to fight for her success.

He admits that he is using Lily to distract the Smith family’s members but he has devoted much effort into nurturing her.

And she has not let him down.

“President Smith, please don’t have these inauspicious thoughts.” Lily doesn’t like to listen to these and frowns, “Don’t listen to the naysayers. Your leg is fine, and you just need to recuperate further.”

“The servants hired by Mr. Lewis aren’t reliable. This time I’ll hire some better ones for you.”

“You should also go out for a stroll. Being cooped up at home isn’t good for you.”

“…”

She starts to nag like an old maid to no end.

Louis doesn’t find it frustrating, he eats the apply slowly while listening to her naggings and somehow feels that it’s all very comforting.

He likes her as she is now – she’s not avoiding him.

After her naggings, Louis says, “If you’re worrying about me, you can move in.”

“What?”

“I find that the food that you prepare is delicious.”

“No, no, I have too many things to attend to.” She quickly rejects when she reacts to what he says, “I guarantee that I’ll find you a chef who can prepare food that is to the standard of a five-stars restaurant.”

Louis knows that she is still avoiding him and frowns and feels uncomfortable, “I’m not picky with my food as long as the taste suits me. I don’t need any high-class standards.”

Lily couldn’t resist and laughs, “Not picky? You don’t eat pork, don’t eat fish, this isn’t picky? If I didn’t call my mother to ask how to season the pork to remove its smell, the pork would have been wasted.”

Louis looks at her, “So you lied to me last time?”

“Then, you ate them, didn’t you?” Lily laughs.

“If you are unwilling then forget it, I won’t force you.” Since Lily didn’t agree, Louis doesn’t compel her and leaves the kitchen in his wheelchair.

Lily is unsettled.

Louis has never asked her for anything and she simply rejected him, is she being too cruel?

But when she thinks of the contract with Daniel, Lily has no choice.

If she moves in to take care of Louis, she would be in breach of the contract and once Daniel finds it out, he will take it out on her.

Lily stays in the kitchen for a while and then takes out her phone. She has added Stella on WeChat and she taps S and she picks Stella’s icon.

If anyone is to take care of Louis, he/she should be Stella.

Lily types a lot of words but in the end, she just sends out two sentences. Just to encourage her to come to visit Louis when she’s available. Just as she keeps her phone, she sees Leigh coming back from the garden.

Leigh is talking with Louis, “Big brother lets me tell you, that he is going to New York with Justin to settle some matters. If you have any matters you can look for me, I’ll take care of you.”

“Go back while it’s still early.” Louis says coldly, “You seduce my staff, come to my place and bring her to the garden and even want to steal my flowers, you should count yourself lucky that I didn’t give you a beating.”

“Louis, we are brothers.” Leigh holds onto his shoulders and laughs, “Are a few roses more important than your brother’s happiness?”

Louis laughs, “You are happy 24 days a month.”

Leigh whispers to his ear, “Brother, this is uncalled for. See how thoughtful I was. I spent so much effort to bring Miss Lily over for you to see her.”

“Furthermore, Little Fairy and Lily are friends and they live together. If I managed to court Little Fairy, then it also benefits you and Lily.”

“You’re thinking too much into it.” Louis pats his hand.

Leigh laughs cheekily, “Brother, don’t tell me that that night at the club, your kiss to Lily was an impulse. Then why don’t you do that to Chloe?”

“Are you sick in your mind?”

“Yes, do you have any medicine?”

“…”

Their conversation is very soft and Lily couldn’t hear clearly.

She walks over and asks Leigh, “Daniel and Justin went to New York?”

“Oh yes, they have some matters to settle.” Leigh stands up and intentionally asks, “From the looks of it, have you taken a liking to my big brother?”
