A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 158

Lily’s feels extremely embarrassed. She laughs and swiftly turns away as she ruthlessly scolds herself in heart: how can you be so rampant in someone else’s territory!

Louis sees that Lily’s phone on the coffee table is ringing and mutes the music.

“Lily, your call.”

“Must be the courier.” Lily doesn’t want to deal with him, for she feels awkward, “President Smith, please answer it.”

Louis looks at the phone and the caller ID “Mom” is displayed. He raises his eyebrows.

It’s not the courier.

But he sees that Lily’s hands are covered with flour and she is busy. So he presses to accept the call and turns on the speaker, “Hello.”

“Oh, it’s you, my son-in-law!” Daisy recognizes Louis’s voice, “Where’s Lily?”

WTF!

When Lily hears Daisy’s voice and her calling Louis son-in-law, she almost vomits blood. She dashes to Louis and snatches the phone.

Lily turns off the speaker and clenches her teeth, “Mom, how can you call him son-in-law?”

She takes a peek at Louis as she speaks to her mom. Louis doesn’t seem to be surprised and his expression is calm as usual.

“Isn’t that my son-in-law’s voice?”

“Yes… no, he’s not your son-in-law!” Lily corrects her. She has an impulse to kill herself, “What’s the matter?”

“You and your brother have not come back for such a long time. I’m calling you to check on you.”

Daisy asks Lily when will she go back for a meal and she had prepared two barrels of wine and wants her to bring back some. Lily says that she’ll go back tomorrow and then she quickly ends the call.

Louis maneuvers the wheelchair over, “Why did your mother address me as her son-in-law when I answered the call?”

He doesn’t think that his voice sounds like Jason.

“Ah, this, this.” Lily is anxious and starts to stammer, “My mother has some issues with her hearing. She thought that you were Jason.”

Louis’s expression becomes gloomy.

Lily breaks out in cold sweat and doesn’t know why he suddenly becomes deflated. She braces herself and says, “Although my relationship with Jason didn’t work out, my mother is rather fond of Jason.”

“Your mother is so ‘kind’.” Louis laughs coldly but he himself doesn’t know why he is angry. “How can she like someone who keeps cheating and bullying her own daughter?”

Lily couldn’t resist, “Apart from cheating, Jason’s personality is still alright.”

Furthermore, she had her problems.

“Enough, I’m not interested.” His voice becomes cold and he leaves after saying, leaving the puzzled Lily behind.

What did she say that it upset him?

Lily doesn’t know why but she feels that Uncle Smith is angry. He is wearing a cold expression and doesn’t bother to talk with her, additionally, when he sees the pork dumplings that she made, he puts down the chopsticks, which totally angers Lily.

Lily wants to yell at Louis. Whether he will eat the meal or not is not of her business. But she holds back her anger when she sees Louis’s legs in the wheelchair. She drives out in the evening to look for some fresh beef and prepares a small pot of stew.

On the second day, Louis is still angry and ignores her.

Lily prepares breakfast and leaves. She calls Coffey during her drive to Daisy’s house.

A girl answers.

“What’s wrong with you? Calling this early and interrupting other’s sleep?”

Lily is shocked.

Before she can come to her senses, the yelling female voice goes away, and in her place is Coffey’s raspy voice, “Sis, what’s the matter?”

“Aren’t you in school? I’ll pick you up and we’ll go home for dinner.”

“I’m having a few days off and I am outside. Sis, go to the same place to wait for me. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Lily answers and then asks curiously, “What was that girl just now? She has a hot temper.”

“Nothing, I’ll wash up first.”

Coffey ends the call as he worries that Lily will ask too much.

He walks into the room in anger and wakes Chloe, “Miss Chloe, didn’t I tell you not to touch my things?”

“It disturbed my sleep,” Chloe mumbles with her eyes still closed and her head pounding on his chest.

Coffey remembers that he owes her several million and decides to endure it.

Before she can lean on him, Coffey tosses her onto the bed and goes to the bathroom.

Chloe has lost her desire to sleep because of his movement; she rubs her eyes and yawns as she goes to the bathroom. She opens her mouth and waits for Coffey to place the toothbrush into her mouth.

Then she brushes her teeth as she asks, “What shall we eat today?”

“Order delivery.” Coffey washes up himself within minutes, “I have something on and have to go out.”

Chloe turns and stares at him, “No! Has Louis called you? If there’s any problem, you can let Kay go. Regardless, I don’t want to order delivery!”

Coffey’s vein on his forehead throbs, “Just eat once.”

“Not even once!”

“…”

“I just won’t eat delivery. It’s dirty and unpalatable.” Chloe looks at him pitifully, “I want to eat breakfast cooked by you, even if I have to eat later.”

Coffey hates it when she throws a tantrum. It’s even more unbearable than when she is angry, but he doesn’t have a choice, “I’m going home for a meal. In that case, I’ll bring a share for you.”

Chloe is surprised, “So your mother is in the city too? I thought that she’s very far from you!”

“So are you eating or not?”

“Why can’t I go with you to your house to eat?” Chloe grabs his arm and says seriously, “In any case, I don’t have anything to do this morning. I’ll go and visit your mother.”

“My mother doesn’t like to be disturbed by outsiders.” Coffey pats her hand and puts the toothbrush back into her mouth, “Either you order delivery or I take back a portion for you, take a pick.”

Chloe pouts, bites down on the toothbrush, and mumbles, “Take back a portion for me.”

Coffey turns around and leaves.

Chloe finishes brushing her teeth and runs out before washing her face. She carefully observes Coffey’s actions and waits for him to leave before putting on her clothes and leaves to follow him.

She hails a taxi and follows him from behind. She thinks that Coffey will go directly to his mother’s place but she doesn’t expect that he would stop at a junction.

There is a Mercedes Benz at the road and he opens the door and gets in.

Chloe stretches her neck to look and sees that the driver is Lily, laughing and telling Coffey something. She even leans over to fasten the seat belt for him. They seem to be very intimate.

“This slut!” Chloe scolds furiously and is on the verge of dying of anger.

Was this slut her rival in love in the previous life? And in this life, she snatched Louis from her and caused her to lose favor with Louis. Then she snatches her bodyguard! How disgusting!

Once the Mercedes Benz drives off, Chloe yells angrily, “Driver, faster, follow the car in front!”

“Okay, you…” The driver sees that Chloe looks so familiar like she’s some movie star. But her temper is very explosive and he couldn’t ask. He decides to concentrate on driving.

Coffey has already noticed that Chloe is following him but he didn’t say a word.

Coffey looks at the rearview mirror and sees Chloe following in the taxi. He makes Lily take a different route and turn whenever possible to shake off the taxi.

Lily feels that something is wrong and asks Coffey, “Is it because you didn’t pay enough? The women at those places are complicated. Did you give her your number?”

When Coffey realizes what his sister is thinking, he says, “Sis, I didn’t do those sorts of things.”

Lily answers, “No worries, you are an adult. You should know more about that kind of thins. But you must take precautions; this is for your own safety…”
