A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 205

"Didn’t you teach me that?" Chloe stomps squeamishly.

Seeing Coffey getting upset, she hurriedly explains to him, "Don’t be paranoid, Coffey. It was…"

"You have to acknowledge it if you dare to do it." Leigh interrupts her with a smile, "I remember the eldest son of a tycoon is pursuing you. You told the reporters that he was a nice guy, and you were ok to be with him?"

"No, I didn’t!"

"Look, here comes the guy." Justin glances outside the cemetery and smiles.

Coffey looks over and sees a young man standing there on the road outside the cemetery. From a distance, he can tell that the man looks outstanding and comes from a wealthy family.

Chloe is about to cry.

She does what Justin tells her to, and she has no idea what tricks they are pulling now.

"Let me explain, Coffey..."

Chloe wants to explain, but Coffey rudely pulls her out of his arms and walks away with a straight face.

"Justin!” Chloe stares at Justin angrily, wishing to strangle him. "I will get back at you if you find a girlfriend!

She hurries to chase after Coffey after cursing at Justin.

"Well, your sister is already a grown-up." Leigh shakes his head. "The couple is going to get back together. Why did you step in and drag me into the drama?"

"There is nothing we can do to stop them from being together if they were made for each other." Justin’s remark is to the point. "That brat is still not that into Chloe, so I have to teach him a lesson."

"It's such a shame for Mr. Smith’s sister to beg a boy like that."

Leigh glances at him and can’t help it. "Are you a jinx, Justin? See what happened when you intervene in the matter of Louis and Lily. They broke up, and now..."

Justin sneers, "Yeah, it's going to be your turn next time! To break up with your little fairy!"

“Watch your mouth!" Leigh snaps, "Things are going well between us. You should be more concerned about yourself! No girlfriend or boyfriend."

"The new drug I am developing is still in the experimental stage; do you want to try it?"

"No thanks!"

On the way back to the main house, neither Lily nor Louis speaks up. The vibe between them is very awkward.

Louis doesn’t go upstairs after entering the house.

Lily doesn’t look at him. After going upstairs, she goes to the study to find Antony Smith. When the people inside answers after she knocks on the door, she opens the door and walks in.

Antony sits in front of the window, holding a newspaper in his hand, basking in the sun lazily.

"Lily, come and sit with me." He sees Lily and smiles.

Lily sits opposite him.

"I'm not in good condition so I've been staying indoors. Meanwhile I am also focusing on the news outside." Antony shows a look of regret, "Jason was a good boy."

"If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't die. I killed him. Master Smith, I believe you know what it is, and so do I." Lily whispers.

Antony understands what she means.

"Just do what you want. I won't stop you." Antony says. Even if Lily doesn't say it, Louis will do it anyway, now that the Smith family is no longer in his control.

"Thank you, Master Smith." With his promise, Lily has no more qualms. "The reason why I came to see you is to tell you something."

She tells him about the fake pregnancy. "There is nothing between me and Louis. Please take this back."

Lily returns the sapphire ring to Antony.

“Let me tell you a story if you are not in a rush, Miss Lily." Instead of taking it, Antony glances at the sapphire ring, and says in a warm tone.

Lily doesn’t want to let him down.

"Sure."

Antony looks at the warm sunshine outside the window and seems like falling into his memories. “A few decades ago, a man met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her at first sight when he went abroad on a business trip.”

"The man and the woman lived together and were planning to get married. His family called one day suddenly and told him that grandma had died. The man wanted to go home with the woman, but he couldn't find her. The flight was in such a hurry that he went home after sending a message to the woman. He found out the woman had already moved when he came back to find her a week later."

"He was going to stay single for the rest of his life if he can't find her. Because he was obsessed with her. A few years later, he received a call from a foreign country. It was her. He then learnt that she had tuberculosis and was about to die."

"The woman said that she didn’t know where he was and found out she was pregnant. So she went back to her mother. She had been raising the child alone for so many years, but she was running out of time. She saw him on the news and worked so hard to get his phone number. She didn't expect to get through."

Antony’s voice is very gentle. Especially when it comes to the woman's condition, the grief in his tone cannot be suppressed.

Lily listens silently.

"Before the woman passes away, the man spent some time with her in her hometown. The child intended to stay there, so the man arranged the best school for the child and visited him every month."

"Later, the child grew up to be handsome and smart. He enrolled at an institute, where he met the love of his life. He took her to the man. The two got married and had their own child."

Antony pauses and says sadly, "However, his wife died accidentally a few years later. He could not accept the fact and committed suicide."

"What happened later?" Lily’s heart drops and she can’t help asking,

"Later, the man didn't want to leave his grandson in a place with sad memories. He took his grandson back to the country, claimed to be his own child and gave him the best. He wanted to make up to his grandson for his love for his son."

Lily is still listening to the story. But she understands everything right away.

"He is... Louis?"

"My son committed suicide by swallowing a gun and died right in front of Louis." Antony says in grief. "Louis looked a bit off when I got there. I had to find someone to hypnotize him so he could forget about those things."

Antony has tears in his eyes, "There is only one woman whom I miss in my life, but I have no chance to be with her. I have a son, but I didn't expect that he would die before me."

The story is too much for Lily. She can’t process it in such short time. "This is unbelievable!"

How could such things happen?

How would Louis react if he finds out?

Seeing that Lily doesn’t believe him, Antony takes out a photo album and shows it to her.

"This is Louis and his parents."

In the faded color photo, there is a beautiful woman embracing a chubby baby. The man with his arms around her has handsome features. Lily can see the resemblance between Antony and the baby.

It’s a happy family of three.

Mr. Smith flips over the photos. Except for Louis’ daily photos when he was a child, Antony also occasionally shows up in the photos.

After flipping over the album, Antony says, "Lily, I am telling you this, because I believe in you. Just like the way Louis believes in you."

Lily curls her lips and smiles sarcastically, "I can't afford this kind of trust."

"Louis was brought up by me. I know exactly what kind of child he is." Antony sighs, "He didn't mean to lie to you, he just wanted to force you to grow up."
