The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 41

When he woke up again, Darryl realised he was lying on the floor in the office. He was sweating profusely and his clothes were drenched.

The burning and pain throughout his body had now disappeared.

S*it! Samson must have been cheated.

Two years have passed and whatever effects the pill had would have been gone by now.

How was he so silly and ate it? Luckily nothing bad happened. As he was feeling lucky, his cellphone rang.

Seeing an unknown number displayed, Darryl squeezed his brows and answered it.

“How are you? Is this Darryl?”

Once the call was connected, a gentle yet attractive voice came through the phone, sounding good and attractive.

This voice sounded rather familiar.

Darryl squeezed his brows further and asked, “You are?”

She introduced herself with a smile, “Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yvonne Young.”

Yvonne?

Gulp!

Darryl swallowed his saliva. An extremely gentle and sexy figure appeared in his mind.

The next moment, Darryl smiled and asked, “What is the matter?”

Yvonne sounded awkward and said, “It’s about the other day during Granny Samantha’s birthday dinner at the Lyndon’s family. I know you presented her a Boundless Universe Fan. I... I would like to take a few pictures, please?”

Darryl was a little shocked, and casually asked, “Oh, that. The Lyndon family thought it was a broken fan. Why is Ms. Young interested in it now?”

Yvonne answered without hesitation, “That is because they do not appreciate what it is. I know the history of the fan. It is a genuine item which was possessed by the Qianlong Emperor.”

Darryl was moved and said, “Alright then, how do you wish to take pictures?”

“You agree? That’s great!”

Yvonne was so happy. She thought that Darryl would have rejected her request, as the fan was the one and only one. It was a priceless treasure indeed.

Excitedly, Yvonne smiled and answered, “If... if you are free, we can meet at my family’s antique store later. There’s a room designated for taking pictures of antique items.”

She then gave Darryl the address of the store.

The antique store mentioned by Yvonne was named Pearl Pavilion. It was the largest antique shop in Donghai City. Darryl had always heard about it, but had never been there.

Half an hour later, Darryl arrived at Pearl Pavilion with his item.

Entering the main hall, he could see that Yvonne was already there waiting, in a dark colored long dress. It looked more mysterious than the one she wore to Granny Samantha’s birthday dinner.

“Darryl, you are here!”

As Darryl walked-in, Yvonne walked forward with a smile. Looking at the box in Darryl’s hand, her beautiful eyes shone with excitement and passion.

The person in charge of Pearl Pavilion, Peter William, looked curious.

Ms. Yvonne had always carried herself with perfect rationale and poise. She would never crack a joke. Thus, why was she so happy today? Also, who is this cheap looking guy?

Noticing the Peter’s curiosity, Yvonne made a brief introduction, “This is Darryl, Mr. Darby from the Lyndon family. We have some matters to discuss, so watch the store and call me if there is anything.”

While speaking, she led Darryl into a private room.

Peter was completely stunned.

Darryl Darby from the Lyndon family? Was he not just a useless live-in son-in-law?

What did Ms. Yvonne have to discuss with such a person?

Although in doubt, William did not think further. He drew his attention back to the store.

After Darryl followed Yvonne into the private room, he took out the fan and displayed it on the table.

Yvonne who was holding the camera carefully took pictures while admiring the item.

On the other hand, Darryl’s attention was all on Yvonne.

It had to be said. Yvonne was really attractive, beautiful and had perfect facial features. Her body was as sexy as one could be.

While he was deeply mesmerised by her, Yvonne finished the photoshoot. She smiled and thanked him, “Thank you, so much.”

Darryl put the fan away and casually answered, “It’s just a small matter. If Ms. Young would like to see it again, feel free to contact me anytime.”

Hearing what Darryl had just said, Yvonne nodded happily and asked curiously, “How did you get the fan?”

Honestly, she wanted to ask the question during Granny Samantha’s family birthday dinner, but he did not get the chance to do so.

A live-in son-in-law of the Lyndon family that was always being looked down on, sat at home for three years without a job, no income, but owned the Boundless Universe Fan. This…

Even a person with a clear logical mind like Yvonne could not refrain herself from being curious.

Darryl laughed and casually said, “It’s a gift from a friend.”

She understood that Darryl was only trying to brush it off, so Yvonne smiled and did not ask further.

At that juncture, Peter knocked on the door.

Yvonne briefly asked, “Yes, is there anything?”

Peter who was slightly ashamed said, “Miss, please come out. Someone would like to purchase some jades. I can’t decide...”

Yvonne was slightly disturbed. Peter was the most experienced antique appraiser. He had spent more than ten years with antiques. If there was something he could not decide, it would be something uncommon.

With that thought in mind, Yvonne rushed to open the door and went out.

Darryl kept the fan, and followed her from behind.

Once they reached the main hall, they saw a young lad with a little box on the counter in front of him.
