Coffey nods and says, "My mission was to protect the Smith Group's interpreter. I didn't know that interpreter was you."
Lily is speechless.
So, it was indeed Coffey that day!
After learning about this, Lily is really startled. She feels like having a heart attack. "Alright, forget it. Let's settle the matter between you and Miss Chloe first."
Chloe shouts coquettishly, "Lily ..."
Lily ignores her and looks coldly at Coffey, "Do you choose her or me?"
"Lily, don't put me on the spot like this. She is my favorite girl, and you are my sister. Both of you are very important to me," Coffey says perplexedly.
"Then you choose her?"
"Lily ..."
"Alright, I get it. Stop!" Lily grabs the bag and stands up, saying, "You are an adult now, you have your own thoughts. Bud there are some things you will learn after you suffer a loss!"
She is so angry and wants to leave. But suddenly, there comes Daisy.
"Mom?" Seeing that it is really Daisy, Lily asks in shock, "Why are you here?"
"My son-in-law sends someone to pick me up at home and asks me to come over for dinner," Daisy replied. She notices that besides Louis, her own son is also at the dining table. "Coffey, you are here too?" she asks.
Lily immediately looks back at Louis angrily. However, he is calm and relaxed.
No wonder he doesn't say anything all this time. He prepares this trick!
"Ms. Daisy." Louis does not seem to have an objection to the address "son-in-law." He greets her politely and winks at Chloe.
Chloe takes the hint. She stands up and supports Daisy, saying, "Ms. Daisy, you must be exhausted from the journey? Sit down, please. I'll get you a cup of tea."
She pours a cup of tea and hands it to Daisy.
"Thank you." Daisy feels flattered and asks her to sit down as well, saying, "You look so beautiful, like a star."
Chloe blushes and says, "Thank you, Ms. Daisy."
Lily rolls her eyes.
What a hypocritical woman!
Daisy takes a sip of tea and asks Coffey, "It's not a weekend. Why aren't you at school?"
"I have no class this morning," Coffey says and pulls Chloe to his side, "Mom, this is Chloe, my girlfriend. I brought her to meet Lily today."
Daisy is sunned for a moment and says, "What? Your girlfriend?"
"Ms. Daisy, Coffey and I really love each other. Don't break us up, please!" Chloe squats beside Daisy and says in an extremely obedient tone, "I'll give you any betrothal gifts you want."
"My mother doesn't know anything. Stop fooling around." Lily says and then turns to her mother. "Mom, this Miss Chloe is a superstar. She is President Smith's sister."
"I don't agree with them being together. The difference between their status is too great."
Daisy looks at Chloe and nods, saying, "No wonder she is so beautiful. Yes, they are quite different in status."
Lily lets out a sigh of relief.
But soon, Daisy says, "I think she's a good match for Coffey. She's so lovable."
"Mom, do you understand what I said?" Lily almost goes crazy, saying, "She is President Smith's sister! Do you think an ordinary can be able to marry her? Furthermore, she is not lovable!"
Louis says slowly, "Indeed, not anyone can be together with Chloe. However, if that person is Coffey, I am quite optimistic. He is smart, courageous, and promising."
Lily stares at him angrily.
She really wants to gag the man with a tablecloth!
Daisy says, "I know you care about your brother. But he is an adult now, so just let him make his own decisions. Que sera sera."
Lily can't help but ask, "Mom, what are you reading recently? Philosophy books?"
