A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 158

Lily’s feels extremely embarrassed. She laughs and swiftly turns away as she ruthlessly scolds herself in heart: how can you be so rampant in someone else’s territory!

Louis sees that Lily’s phone on the coffee table is ringing and mutes the music.

“Lily, your call.”

“Must be the courier.” Lily doesn’t want to deal with him, for she feels awkward, “President Smith, please answer it.”

Louis looks at the phone and the caller ID “Mom” is displayed. He raises his eyebrows.

It’s not the courier.

But he sees that Lily’s hands are covered with flour and she is busy. So he presses to accept the call and turns on the speaker, “Hello.”

“Oh, it’s you, my son-in-law!” Daisy recognizes Louis’s voice, “Where’s Lily?”

WTF!

When Lily hears Daisy’s voice and her calling Louis son-in-law, she almost vomits blood. She dashes to Louis and snatches the phone.

Lily turns off the speaker and clenches her teeth, “Mom, how can you call him son-in-law?”

She takes a peek at Louis as she speaks to her mom. Louis doesn’t seem to be surprised and his expression is calm as usual.

“Isn’t that my son-in-law’s voice?”

“Yes… no, he’s not your son-in-law!” Lily corrects her. She has an impulse to kill herself, “What’s the matter?”

“You and your brother have not come back for such a long time. I’m calling you to check on you.”

Daisy asks Lily when will she go back for a meal and she had prepared two barrels of wine and wants her to bring back some. Lily says that she’ll go back tomorrow and then she quickly ends the call.

Louis maneuvers the wheelchair over, “Why did your mother address me as her son-in-law when I answered the call?”

He doesn’t think that his voice sounds like Jason.

“Ah, this, this.” Lily is anxious and starts to stammer, “My mother has some issues with her hearing. She thought that you were Jason.”

Louis’s expression becomes gloomy.

Lily breaks out in cold sweat and doesn’t know why he suddenly becomes deflated. She braces herself and says, “Although my relationship with Jason didn’t work out, my mother is rather fond of Jason.”

“Your mother is so ‘kind’.” Louis laughs coldly but he himself doesn’t know why he is angry. “How can she like someone who keeps cheating and bullying her own daughter?”

Lily couldn’t resist, “Apart from cheating, Jason’s personality is still alright.”

Furthermore, she had her problems.

“Enough, I’m not interested.” His voice becomes cold and he leaves after saying, leaving the puzzled Lily behind.

What did she say that it upset him?

Lily doesn’t know why but she feels that Uncle Smith is angry. He is wearing a cold expression and doesn’t bother to talk with her, additionally, when he sees the pork dumplings that she made, he puts down the chopsticks, which totally angers Lily.

Lily wants to yell at Louis. Whether he will eat the meal or not is not of her business. But she holds back her anger when she sees Louis’s legs in the wheelchair. She drives out in the evening to look for some fresh beef and prepares a small pot of stew.

On the second day, Louis is still angry and ignores her.

Lily prepares breakfast and leaves. She calls Coffey during her drive to Daisy’s house.

A girl answers.

“What’s wrong with you? Calling this early and interrupting other’s sleep?”

Lily is shocked.

Before she can come to her senses, the yelling female voice goes away, and in her place is Coffey’s raspy voice, “Sis, what’s the matter?”

“Aren’t you in school? I’ll pick you up and we’ll go home for dinner.”
