A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 116

Jessie shakes all over and follows Lily to the elevator, saying, "Don't get angry with the car. It's innocent. If it breaks down, we'll have to have it repaired."

Lily says calmly, "Why should I be angry?"

"Others can see you are angry at a glance, let alone me." says Jessie, "If you feel bad, just go straight to Mr. Louis and tell him you don't want him to get married."

"What does it matter to me if Mr. Louis gets married?”

"You are in love with him."

"I didn't."

"If not, why are you angry at the news that Mr. Louis is getting married?"

"I'm not angry, I'm just..." Lily couldn't tell what she is doing. She pulls her hair with her hands, and she becomes more and more upset. She doesn't know why she is so upset.

Jessie shrugs, as if she knows everything. "See, you have fallen in love with it. You just don’t admit it. Why should you cringe? Mr. Louis is rich and handsome, but you are excellent!"

“You graduated from the University of Newcastle, and that alone will make up for all the shortcomings of your family background. Mr. Louis knows you are clever, or he wouldn't have been appointed you as the manager of the new department. Senior executive and normal staff are not just a matter of rank."

"I really didn't mean that, and he's Jason's... cousin."

Jessie signs, “It turns out that you mind this. You don’t have to worry about that. Jason and you are divorced. You can marry anyone you like. The Smith family wouldn’t be so unreasonable.

As Lily listens, she becomes more and more upset, and interrupts Jessie, "Don't say it anymore. Even if I have a feeling for him, Mr. Louis is engaged. Just let it go"

"But you..."

Jessie is still talking, and Lily glances at her, frowning and her face is a bit pale.

Jessie knows that she is very upset, so she stops talking.

They enter the supermarket, pushing the shopping cart all the way without speaking. When they choose the food or pay the bill, both of them keep silent. Lily is upset and doesn't want to say anything, while Jessie is about to say something but not knowing what to say.

"Miss, you dropped something!"

Lily is carrying some shopping bags and is about to leave with Jessie when a young boy shouts in front of her and stops her.

"Is this key to this car yours?" The little boy holds out his hand and in the palm of his hand lies a car key.

Dressed in LOUISVUITTON, the boy is young but elegant, wearing a black baseball cap, with red lips and white teeth and sharp eyebrows and eyes. His parents must be beautiful.

Lily rummages through her bag but doesn't find her car key.

"Thank you." She takes the car keys from the little boy and thinks she lost them when she checked out.

"You're welcome. Be more careful next time." the boy says. Then he sees Lily's high heel strap is loose, so he squats down to help her refasten the strap.

Jessie exclaims, "Wow, what a cute little baby! He even helps you refasten the strap."

Lily didn't expect him to be so sweet.

She thinks that giving money would not be appropriate, so she takes a row of milk from a shopping bag and hands it to the boy. Smiling, she says, "You helped me find the car key and refasten my strap. Thank you very much! This is for you.”

"No, it's no trouble at all." The boy waves, and doesn’t take it.
