A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 320

“I’m okay.” Pursing her lips, Jessie finds it hard to say something since Leigh cares her so much. “Leigh, I think...”

She’s a bit exhausted. She doesn’t want to keep pestering him anymore and she wants to give up on revenge.

“Let’s talk about it later.” The sunlight comes out but the air is cold and damp. Leigh wraps Jessie into his coat and walks out of the cemetery together with her. “Let’s go back first.”

Jessie sniffs his unique smell from the coat, her heart trembling. But she keeps silent.

The car roars away and rushes back to Leigh’s house.

Taking off the coat to hang it on the shelf, Leigh pulls up his sweater sleeves and says, “Go take a hot shower. I’ll make you porridge.”

He scratches his hair and murmurs to himself, looking troubled, “I’ve never made porridge before. It shouldn’t be so difficult, right?”

Since his childhood, he has never cooked for someone else.

Jessie wants to laugh but she feels panic in hear heart. She doesn’t feel well.

She calls him. “Leigh.”

“Yes? What’s up?” Leigh turns around to ask her what’s wrong. Jessie has already thrown herself into his arms. Wrapping her arms around his neck, her tender lips press on his.

Her lips are soft and tender. Her kiss is wet and hot, emanating sweetness and fragrance.

Leigh can’t help holding her thin waist, pushing her into his arms. His breath tangles with hers.

After a long while, they separate.

Jessie is panting slightly. Their foreheads are pressing against each other and their breath still tangle together. She pecks the man’s lips again and whispers, “I want to make love to you.”

Leigh is taken aback. “Right now? You haven’t rested for two days. Aren’t you tired?”

Jessie shakes her head, her smile bright and stunning, making his heart skip a beat. “I’m not the one who would spend energy. Do you want it? If not, forget it.”

“Let’s do it!”

Almost two hours have passed, and the house gradually returns to silent.

Leigh is too tired these two days. Holding Jessie in his arms, he has already fallen asleep with long and deep breath.

Jessie looks at the man in her arms. Her fingers run through his cold-lined face all the way down. She feels tickled when touching the newly grown beard on his chin.

He’s now lying in her arms, defenseless.

Jessie’s fingers stop on his neck. She recalls that there’s a knife in the drawer of the right-sided nightstand. She can take the knife out and stab it into Leigh’s neck.

In less than three seconds, he will die without any struggle.

However, she doesn’t have the heart to do it.

“Are you always so easily tempted by a woman?” Jessie muttered. Her fingers returned on his lips again, thinking how passionately and eagerly he has kissed her and how hot his kisses are.

Jessie hates herself for being soft-hearted and the suddenly raised guilt. She also hates him.

She bends over and kisses his cheek, whispering, “Hasn’t anyone told you that if a pretty woman approaches you, she must have some purpose?”

This man is so easy to be deceived.

Her cell phone lights up on the nightstand. Jessie fumbles for it and unlocks the screen. Then she sees a text message from a strange number.

“This is Jana. Shall we meet at five in the usual place?”

Jessie types a few lines. She wants to tell the other party that she doesn’t want to have the talk but the money will still be wired to her bank account.

When she wants to send the message, she hesitates.

She takes a look at the man who’s sleeping beside her, and her eyes darkens. She deletes the previous lines and replies with “OK”.

…

After Lily returns home from Japan, she suddenly has caught a serious cold when she doesn’t pay enough attention.

She has taken over Z City’s project, so she doesn’t want to take a break and waste any time. Hearing her voice dumb with a strong nasal sound, Louis pulls a long face. He insists her staying home and even sends David over to keep an eye on her.

Looking at David who has moved to work in her apartment’s living room, Lily is speechless. “Hey, don’t be so obedient to your Mr. Smith in this way. Can you go back to the company?”

“As an employee, I must obey what my boss told me to do,” David answers her seriously. He doesn’t want to be thrown to the New York branch by Louis if he fails to accomplish his assigned job.

He doesn’t know anyone in New York, which will make him depressed.

With his fingers dancing over the keyboard of the laptop, David says, “Mrs. Smith, you should feel lucky that Mr. Smith had to fly to Singapore for a business trip because of something urgent. If he’s taking care of you by himself, you are even not allowed to read a document.”

Lily chuckles. “So I should thank you, right?”

“You are welcome, Mrs. Smith.” David passes her another two documents. “You can take a look at these, too. Mrs. Smith, although you can’t discuss with your coworkers now, you can get familiar with it first.”

Lily rolls her eyes at him.

Now she can’t discuss the project with her coworkers, nor can she use the laptop. She doesn’t feel any passion when just reading the documents.

Lily sits in the couch lazily, reading the documents. Occasionally, she throws a piece of apple into her mouth. After taking a few pieces, David takes the whole plate of apple pieces away.

“Mrs. Smith, you should eat less apple and drink more hot water.”

“What the...” Lily forces herself to sallow the curse. Gritting her teeth, she smiles. “David, isn’t my mother’s pig feet with brown sauce delicious enough?”

“It’s delicious indeed. However, you still can’t eat the apple,” David says with a sincere expression, “Mrs. Smith, I’m surely on your side, but I’m also concerned about your health.”

“Ho ho!”

Now Lily finally can tell. ‘Louis Smith, you are such a fox!’ she thinks to herself.

When he’s on a business trip, Louis still wants to prevent her going to company while she’s still sick. He’s also afraid the Jessie will take her side, so he has asked David to come over, because David is the most obedient employee to him. He’s loyal to Louis.

Lily is so anger that she turns her back towards David, continuing reading the documents.

After reading for a while, her feet become a little numb. She turns back again, only to find that David is sending a message. He’s smiling brightly with affection as if the spring has come.

Lily teases him. “David, you look overjoyed now. Have you found a girlfriend?”

David puts away his smile immediately. “Not really. Just a classmate.”

“How can you be so delighted when sending a message to your classmate?” Lily doesn’t believe him at all. “If she’s a good person, you can also chat with her more often. You should have a girlfriend now.”

She grabs the opportunity and asks again, “Your elementary classmate?”

David hesitates for a moment and answers, “A classmate from elementary to university. We’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Oh...” With an ambiguous smile, Lily points at him with documents in her hand. “Is it your first love? I heard that you graduated from Stanford. Is she also your college-mate?”

“Yes. She’s an excellent woman.” When mentioning about his first love, David feels embarrassed. “She’s also stunning. A lot of boys were chasing her in college.”

“Did you also have a crush on her?”

David scratches his head but doesn’t answer. He admits it in silence.

“You are such a coward! You’ve known her from elementary school to university, but you still dare not to confess your love to her.” Lily sits up from the couch, deeply interested in this matter. “Doesn’t she have a boyfriend now?”

“She said she’s been busy after becoming a professor. She doesn’t have time to see someone.”

“Since you can meet each other again, it’s your fate.” Rubbing her chin, Lily asks David, “Then, where did you meet each other again? Is she working for Smith Group now?”

“Not really. I met her in Japan.”

“Japan?”

David nods and says, “Remember we were hanging out in the nightclub on Christmas Eve? I saw she also drinking there. Firstly I thought I mistook someone for her. After paying the bill and I was about to go back, I didn’t expect that she was waiting for me at the door.

“She said that she went to Japan with her friends and felt familiar when seeing my face. She thought I should be her former classmate. After we both said our names, we found that we were indeed classmates. That’s how I met her again.”
