A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 211

A very important person?

Thinking about her gentle tone while talking to the other person, Daniel’s becomes even more irritated. He says coldly, “Stella, you will be married on the 20th of the next month. Pay attention to your actions and words.”

“Pay attention to what?” Stella shoots him a glance.

That resolute face and cold tone… She immediately smells it and purses her lips with a smile.

This man… Is he jealous of his own son?

Before, in the banquet hall, there were too many people, so she didn’t dare to approach him or say anything. However, right now, there are only the two of them in the car.

“Daniel, you misunderstood. Actually…” Stella purses her red lips. Just as she is about to say something, she is interrupted by the sudden ringing of Daniel’s cellphone.

It is difficult to control the balance of this kind of cars, so Daniel has to take out the cellphone and place it on the holder and turn on the speaker.

“Daniel, where are you?”

As soon as the call is connected a delicate female voice with a very soft and pouty tone comes.

Stella, as if someone has just poured cold water all over her, is cold all over.

Her tone is way too intimate.

Daniel doesn’t pay attention to the subtle change in Stella’s expressions; he just looks very impatient with the call. As if he’s worried about something, he tries his best to suppress the impatience, “I am on my way back, what’s the matter.”

“You, can’t you come meet me at that place we ate together last time?” She acts coquettish towards him and then adds aggrievedly, “They all bullied me…”

“Hey, hey, Stacy, you better not talk nonsense. When did we bully you?”

“Yeah, you clearly lost your bet!”

“Hurry up and call your boyfriend over for a drink!”

After the woman finishes speaking, several voices come through the call. Everyone is laughing and making fun of the woman. The woman gets very angry and tells them not to talk nonsense.

Daniel says, “I can’t make it. Call someone to pick you up.”

“I can wait.” The woman says cautiously, with a tinge of begging in her tone, “Daniel, come and pick me up. Don’t let them laugh at me.”

After a long silence, Daniel says, “It will take me time to get there, wait for me.”

“Okay, I am waiting for you.”

Daniel quickly hangs up the call and glances furtively to his side.

Stella sits there calmly with a slight smile, as if she’s not uncomfortable at all.

Stella even says, “Mr. Daniel, if you are in a hurry to go pick up your girlfriend then you can just drop me off here. I can easily get a taxi from here.”

He retorts subconsciously, “She’s not my girlfriend.”

“Oh!” Stella nods and smiles lightly, “She will be in the future.”

Daniel cannot stand her tone, his eyebrows knit together in a frown. He makes a call and when the car arrives at the next intersection, he stops the car.

A black Mercedes is already parked at the side of the road. The man standing beside the car greets Daniel.

“Mr. Daniel.”

After Stella steps out of the car, he tells the man, “I have to go. Send Ms. Stella back.”

Then he gets into his car swiftly and leaves.

The man professionally opens the car door and says in a respectful tone, “Ms. Stella, please.”

“Thank you.”

Once in the car, Stella stares in the direction of Daniel’s departure, thinking about the phone call and the girl’s voice; it makes her feel uncomfortable.

She casually asks the man who is driving, “How long have you been working with Mr. Daniel?”

“Two years.” The man replies, “I am responsible for Mr. Daniel’s daily schedule. Usually, when he is not driving himself, I am the driver.”

“Did you come back from New York with him?”

“Yes.”

Stella asks again, “Since you have been with him for so long, you’d know how many girlfriends he has had?”

“Mr. Daniel is a workaholic; there are no women around him.” The man jokes, “Because of this I always used to wonder if he has a different sexual orientation.”

No girlfriend in all these years?

Stella feels relieved but then thinks about the girl who just called, “Maybe you don’t know, but a woman just called him before and asked him to pick her up.”

The man thinks for a moment, “Are you talking about Miss Stacy? Her father Mr. John Adams is a good friend of Mr. Daniel’s father. It would not be nice of Mr. Daniel to not take care of Miss Stacy.”

“Really?” Stella is reminded of the scene when she met Daniel’s mother four years ago and her pupils light up with hatred, “Of course, only people in a circle can play together.”

She will not let her son walk down the same road as her.

One day, she will make Daniel’s mother beg her and return all the humiliation she had suffered that day!

The car quickly arrives at the community where Stella lives.

Because the residential area is elite and vehicles cannot enter without registration, the man drops Stella at the main gate.

The man turns the car around and is about to leave when he accidentally catches a glimpse of Stella in the rear-view mirror. She is walking in through the gate when suddenly a little boy runs out.

The boy is wearing a mask so he can’t see his appearance. He looks a little over 1.4 meters tall. He raises his head and says something to Stella. Stella seems to want to hug him but she can’t, so she rubs his hair rigorously with her hand, and they leave holding hands.

The man is shocked.

Since watching the news before, he knows that Stella and Louis Smith are getting married on the 20th of the next month. This news would probably be known by the whole country by tomorrow.

But what is this situation now. Miss Stella actually has a child?

Later, the man feels like he must have been overthinking, he doesn’t even know if the boy is the child of one of Stella’s relatives. After all, how could a woman who is about to get married have such a secret?

Thinking about it this way, the man leaves the matter behind and drives away.

--

When she wakes up, Lily’s heart still feels a little uncomfortable.

It seems like she fainted while talking to Daniel. Why is she waking up in the apartment?

“Lily, are you up?”

Jessie pushes the door and enters, dressed in clothes for cleaning and holding a mop in her hand. She looks funny, but her round face looks too cute.

Seeing that Lily is awake, she rushes to her and says, “No matter what you attend, a cocktail party or whatever. Don’t drink. Mr. Smith brought you back last night. You were drunk and unconscious. You scared me to death.”

The corners of Lily’s mouth tighten.

She didn’t even drink two glasses of champagne, and she was that drunk and messed up? Also, she remembers that her heart beat quickened, which caused her to faint uncomfortably!

However, her focus is not on this but on the words “Mr. Smith brought you back.”

Lily asks, “Louis brought me back?”

“Yes.” Jessie lowers her glasses a bit and says in a dissatisfied tone, “I asked him to put you down on the sofa but he had to bring you to the bedroom; he was deliberately trying to take advantage of you.”

Lily feels too ashamed.

It has been already decided that she’d keep her distance from the Smiths and Louis Smith, but how long did it last? She ended up being brought back by Louis himself!

“I will call you ahead of time if I go to any cocktail party in the future.” Lily pats Jessie on the shoulder and says cautiously, “My safety depends on you.”

Jessie replies nonchalantly.

Then she looks Lily up and down with an expression that shows she is embarrassed to mention something, “Are you…”

“No!” Lily interrupts her wild imaginations.

Although it’s wrong of Louis to lie to her, Lily believes that he would never do such a horrible thing to her when she fainted.

Lily’s heart is not well, she has been working during this period and she didn’t get to take a good rest. So, she sends a message to her assistant and decides not to go to the company for two days.
