A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 108

When the phone gets through, Louis asks, "Dad, are you still at Ole Supermarket? I happen to be there? I will pick you up."

Mr. Smith is delighted when hearing that.

What a coincidence! Isn't it a good time for the two of them to meet each other?

"Ok, then come to the hotpot store on the fifth floor, I am having lunch here." Then Mr. Smith hangs up the phone.

Lily asks, "Is your son calling you?"

"Yes, he says he happens to pass by." Mr. Smith laugh, "Maybe you could have a talk, then I will ask him to take you back."

Lily doesn’t want to see Mr. Smith’s son, so she would friend WeChat, but now his son is coming.

It’s so embarrassed.

"Mr., excuse me, I want to go to the bathroom." In order to avoid the awkward situation, Lily quickly foots the bill and leaves in the name of going to the bathroom.

Before leaving, she has told the waiter to take care of the gentleman.

Not long after she leaves, the waiter goes to table 23 and says politely to Mr. Smith, "Mr., your friend has left for something urgent. I am sorry."

"She’s gone?" Mr. Smith looks at the door and sighs.

His “daughter-in-law” has flown away.

When Lily just goes down the escalator, the other elevator door opens. Louis has arrived, but he doesn't notice the figure that went down the stairs, and goes straight into the hotpot restaurant.

It is a small shop, and Louis is tall, so he can find Mr. Smith easily, who is sitting by the window.

"Dad." As he gets closer, he sees the spicy hot pot soup on the table. Louis frowns and says, "These things will irritate your stomach. Don’t eat too much.”

“Why are you as long-winded as the housekeeper?' Mr. Smith says angrily, "I am counting my days now. Couldn’t I eat something I like? Or I might just drink water every day!"

Louis rubs his eyebrows helplessly, "I didn’t mean that."

Mr. Smith gets angry and blames Louis. "I shouldn’t answer your phone," he says, "Now my daughter-in-law is running away."

"Can’t you talk to me on WeChat? Why do you have to call me?"

"Why not say something? You are so dull! Do you know how hard it is to meet a smart and capable girl these days? It really annoys me."

Louis, aware that Mr. Smith is angry, pulls out his chair and sits down. He says nothing, just listening to Mr. Smith’s scolding.

Mr. Smith has waited for that girl for half a month. When he finally met her again, the smart and thoughtful girl accompanied him to chat and have dinner. They were having a good time, but Louis destroyed it.

Louis finally understands what he means, so he asks, “Is that the one who helped you pick the tie last time?”

"Yeah, she is so sweet." Mr. Smith sighs again, "It’s so hard for me. I don’t have a daughter, but I still have to worry about your marriage at such an old age."

Louis can't help laughing, "If you really want to meet her, why don't you check the mall surveillance and then just find some excuses and ask her out."

Mr. Smith glares at him, "What if I scare her?"

"I'm glad you have someone to talk to, Dad, but we don't know each other." Louis says, "And I've already found a girlfriend."

Mr. Smith, who is about to give Lily’s WeChat to Louis, stops and asks him, "You have someone you are fond of?"

"Yes, I'll take her home in a few days."
