The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 178

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 178 – Since it was a misunderstanding, Darryl was not concerned about the Lyndon’s seeing him have dinner with Shelly. Shelly had helped his father a lot since he was admitted to the hospital. Today, she had even been scolded by Samantha for no reason, so Darryl felt he had to treat her to a meal.

“Brother Darryl, are you sure this is a good idea?” Shelly said, biting her lips, slightly embarrassed. Earlier, Samantha had come looking for trouble. If Shelly went out for dinner with Darryl, the Lyndons might take it the wrong way.

Darryl did not seem concerned. “What’s there to be afraid of? I just want to thank you for taking care of my parents for the past few days.”

As he said, he looked at Shelly with an appreciative look. One would be lying to deny that Shelly had a kind of mature beauty in her, especially when she blushed, which made her very attractive.

Without further hesitation, Shelly accepted the invitation to dinner.

Lily and Samantha stomped out of the hospital, feeling insulted.

“I think you should divorce this piece of trash right away. Did you see his face just now? He has such a big ego but is as useless as a dog!” Samantha said as they walked out of the hospital

She kept on complaining non-stop about what had happened in the hospital. Samantha’s words were starting to get to Lily.

“Mom, stop mentioning it, will you? I’ll think about it by myself,” she said, biting her lips.

Lily was confused. She felt bitter looking at Darryl being so happy and carefree when he was with Shelly. Meanwhile, her phone lit up with an incoming call from William.

“Lily, Granary is sick. Come back now!” William shouted.

’What? Granary was sick?’ Lily thought.

Before she could respond, William had already hung up on her. Immediately, Lily got in the car and rushed to the Lyndon residence.

Ten minutes later, she arrived at the mansion. She pulled over and rushed into the home in her heels.

She was shocked the moment she got in. Granny Lyndon was sitting on the couch, her cheeks pink and eyes bright. She did not seem ill at all. The rest of the family members surrounded her in the middle of a discussion.

“Granny, you…William Lyndon! Granny seems just fine. Why did you say she was sick on the phone? What did you mean?” Lily scolded, agitated.

William shrugged with a nonchalant expression. “If I didn’t say that, you wouldn’t be here right now.”

“Alright, alright. Lilybud, don’t get angry. I asked William to say that.” Granny smiled. “Oh Lilybud, I’ m so pleased that you got here so soon. This shows that you really respect me.”

Granny gestured at Lily. “Come here.” ’Huh?’ Lily was confused.

She walked over and sat beside Granny. “Granny, why did you ask me to come?”

Granny sighed, “Lilybud, I’ve been keeping a close eye on you since you’ve been taking charge of our family business. You’re hardworking and competitive, but you’re not very capable. Other than Giselle Lindt, which you marketed well, the rest of the business has not been very exceptional.”

Lily was shocked. “Granny, what you’re saying is- ”

“Lilybud, you’re still a young lady. The family business is too much responsibility for you. It must’ve been quite hard for you to take care of it all, am I right?” Granny smiled, interrupting Lily before she could continue.

Lily remained silent. Granny was right. Ever since she took over the business, she spent most of her time working. Even when her staff had gone home for the night, she still had to stay in her office reading and making plans. It was tiring, but it felt productive as well. It was better than others looking down on her in the past. Now that she was in charge of the family business, everyone had to look up to her, and she enjoyed that.

“Lilybud, I think you should get some rest. Why don ‘t you give away some of your shares? A woman like you wouldn’t need so many shares,” Granny smiled.
