A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 179

"Yes." Antony smiles and says with a slightly regretful tone, "She was a very good woman. If I was there earlier, then..."

Perhaps it is too sad for him, so he doesn't say anything else.

Antony hands the sapphire ring to Lily and says, "Take this. It's useless for me to keep it here."

"I can't take it." Lily steps back. She likes Louis, but it is unknown if their relationship will develop, and the gift is too precious. "You should give it to President Smith."

"Alas, Louis is so pitiful." Antony blames himself. "No one liked him since he was young, and he was not liked even when he grew up. I failed him as a father."

Lily's mouth twitches. "How could it be? President Smith is so outstanding, there are many women having feelings for him."

"Since that's the case, take it." Antony stuffs the sapphire ring into her hand and says, "I entrust Louis to you. Now my head hurts."

Antony rubs his temples and says, "I'm going to take a rest. You guys may go. Drop by and have a meal when it is convenient for you."

Lily is persuaded by Antony. When she reacts, she has left the study. She looks at the sapphire ring in her hand speechlessly.

She is caught off guard by the sentimental persuasion.

Louis approaches her in his wheelchair and asks, "What did my dad say to you?"

"Nothing." Lily puts her hand behind her back. "He told me to come back for meal when we were free," she says calmly.

"Is that so?" The man raises his eyebrows with disbelief. "Nothing else?"

"No."

Hearing Lily say this, Louis does not ask anything else. Lily goes downstairs behind him while hesitating whether to give the ring to Louis. But then, she puts it into her bag.

It is better not to give it to him now, so as not to arouse the pain in his heart.

On the way back, Lily looks at the scenery that flashes past the window. Thinking about the events from last night to this morning, her excitement is no less than that of riding a roller coaster. It is as if she is in a dream.

Thinking of something, she turns to look at Louis and says, "President Smith, did you discuss it with Jason in advance? Could it be that you came up with this plan last night?"

"No."

Lily is surprised. "Then why did Jason..."

Jason’s tone is calm and natural when he says that. Lily doesn't believe the fact that Louis hasn't contacted him beforehand.

"Don't you know why?" Louis glances at her and says, "He still likes you."

Lily purses her lips.

Last time at the Smith Group, he also spoke for her.

Seeing that Lily is lost in thought, Louis frowns and feels very uncomfortable. He leans over and says, "What's wrong, Miss Lily? Do you want to get back together with him?"

"No." They are too close, and she feels a little uneasy as leans back. "I'm not that kind of woman. It's just that he helped me. At least, I should say thank you."

Louis' tone is softer. "No need, I will say it for you."

Lily wants to say something, but suddenly has a cramp in the abdomen. She bends down and her head is covered in sweat.

"What's the matter?"

"Dysmenorrhea."

Louis remembers that she was like this during the last menstruation. He pulls her over and makes her lean on his shoulder, and then he instructs the driver to find a pharmacy to buy ibuprofen.

"President Smith, there's no need..."

Lily's face turns red as she struggles to get up, but Louis holds her shoulder and says in an irresistible tone, "Lean on, don't move."

He also wraps the thin blanket on his lap around her waist.

Lily does not move again and leans against his broad shoulders. She suddenly feels less pain in her abdomen.

Actually, Louis looks aloof, but actually, he is considerate.

After eating the ibuprofen, Lily becomes lively again. She doesn't want to go to the grocery store because of the hot weather, so she buys ingredients as well as a big watermelon online.

Just as the watermelon is cut into pieces, it is taken away by Louis. "Cold food, you can't eat it."

"It's fine to eat just one piece."

Louis opens his eyes and looks at her coldly. Lily retracts her hand and makes a gesture of serving. "You eat, you eat. I'll have nuts instead!"

Half a watermelon will kill him with over-eating!

Lily was lazy two days before the period. She didn't want to do anything. She just signed some important documents and didn't care about anything else. However, she was a little bored of staying in the villa for too long.

"Isn't it too hot today?" Lily sits cross-legged while eating nuts. When looking at the burning sun, she doesn't have the mood to go out. "Alas, if only I could swim."

She looks at the flowers in the backyard and says with disgust, "President Smith, isn't it good to build a pool in such a big mansion instead of a garden?"

It looks eye-catching, but it is useless, and moreover, the flowers planted are so expensive!

"It's my villa, what's wrong about the garden?" Louis says slowly, "The swimming pool will get dirty."

Lily chuckles. "Then these flowers need to be maintained. Why don't you mention it? President Smith, aren't you afraid that someone will have designs on your flowers and steal them to sell?"

"The villa is equipped by surveillance cameras. No one dares."

Lily thinks of the surveillance footage she saw last time and she blushes. She coughs and gets up from the cushion. "It's too hot. I'm going to the natatorium."

"It's 40 degrees outside today. Aren't you afraid that you'll melt once you go out?" Louis sizes her up. "Moreover, you haven't gone through your period yet. You will be easily infected with bacteria when swimming."

"Stop saying that, okay?" Hearing the word "period" from the man's mouth, Lily is very embarrassed. "It's been three days. It's fine. I'll just swim for a while."

Louis turns on his phone and looks at it, then hands it to her.

When Lily looks at his phone, he says slowly, "Read the news. I advise you not to go, or you'll get chronic diseases."

Damn it!

Lily collapses. She throws his phone back to him and grits her teeth. "I won't go, alright?"

She goes upstairs angrily.

What was wrong with her back then that she decided to move here?!

As Louis watches her go upstairs, he smiles and dials a number.

"Louis, what is it??"

Louis says leisurely, "There's a job. Do you want to take it?"

"Can I refuse?" Leigh is very vigilant. "I feel that it's not something good."

"No, you have to."

Lily has a bad temper tonight. She doesn't even want to cook, so she orders takeout. Louis doesn't speak ill about it and eats a lot, which makes her even angrier.

Will begging her to cook kill him?

After dinner, Lily goes back to the bedroom early and talks to Jessie on the phone.

After she finishes the complaint, Jessie says, "Then, move back!"

"Then what about President Smith?"

"Look, I tell you to move back but you won't, and at the same time, you hate President Smith." Jessie sighs, "I think you're a masochist."

"I'm worried that the servants won't take good care of him." Lily mutters with depression. "How can he, a picky man, enjoy the takeout I ordered?"

She doesn’t know what to say.

"If he wants me to cook, he can just say it. Why keep an aloof face?"

She is confused.

"What's wrong with my period? Why can't I swim? What am I supposed to do on such a hot day?"

Jessie has a headache and doesn't want to listen to her nagging. "Let's not talk about this. I'm dating Leigh. When are you going to the company? And how about we eat together then?"
