A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 279

They are scurrying around in the diner until past ten o’clock when all the snacks and home-made red wine are out of stock.

Chloe pours several cups of barley tea and divides them to everyone. After that, she nestles herself in Coffey’s arms like a clingy siren, “Hubby, mom is so tired. It’s inappropriate to let her cook later. Let’s have lunch in a restaurant.”

Lily takes a sip of the tea and frowns slightly.

She always has a sense of foreboding that something will happen between Coffey and Chloe as their relationship are improved way too smoothly.

Daisy fails to remain her composure and says to Chloe, “Dear, you two haven’t had an engagement. How can you address him ‘Hubby’? Don’t be fooled by Coffee’s blandishments.”

“It’s okay, mom.” Seeing that her mother-in-law-to-be is at her side, Chloe gets on cloud nine. She explains timidly, “We have gifted each other a token of affection. It’s like we have had engagement.”

She continues, “Next year, when Coffee is not that busy with his study, we will get married and have our child! Mom, I will give you three cute grandchildren!”

Daisy beams, “Great, great. Dear, don’t get yourself tired. If you don’t want to film movie, you can just give up. I’ll give you all the money I earn in the future.”

“Gee! Mom, aren’t you impartial?” Lily chimes in and asks deliberately, “Can’t I use your money?”

Daisy shifts her gaze onto Lily upon hearing her words, “Oh, I almost forget your presence. Look at yourself, your younger brother is going to marry next year, what about you?”

Lily retorts, “There’s no progress in Joey’s relationship either, isn’t it?”

“At least Joey has her boyfriend! But you’re still single!” Daisy adds with dissatisfaction, “I don’t mean to urge you to get marry, but you should try to start a relationship. At least you may not feel lonely.”

Lily lowers her head to drink the tea.

She’s not lonely at all. To top it off, she received a gift for engagement. Should she tell them about this?

Seeing Lily’s reaction, Daisy continues, “Why don’t you speak? Aren’t I right? Or are you still hung up on that Mr. Smith and turn your nose up at other men?”

“Not so.”

Daisy glances at her with an ‘I understand you so much’ and ‘I was right’ look.

Chloe can’t help putting in good words for Louis, “Mom, Louis is good. He’s handsome and rich. I think he’s a perfect match for elder sister.”

“Handsome men are always good at deceiving women.”

Lily and the others are quite speechless.

“Mrs. Daisy, seems like you have so much complaints against me.” Louis appears from outside of the store with something in his hands and a helpless look.

“How comes you are…” Lily wants to greet him out of subconsciousness, but thinking of her mom’s presence, she sits back into her seat and swallows the unspoken words.

Daisy throws a few glances at Louis and says, “My daughter liked you and brought you to my house. I made noodles to entertain you. But look at how you treated her later? She suffered from high fever for three days and almost died of it. This alone can be a strong reason for why I have such complaints about you.”

Daisy is a weak woman. But women would always become stronger when they have children. She wants to protect her own child. Back then, she had a good impression on Louis, but since Lily’s high fever last time, she grew resentment against Louis.

Louis walks in with gifts in his hands and apologizes sincerely, “Yep, you’re right. I was young and ignorant, and therefore had done something wrong. I should bear your complaints.”

Daisy sneers.

Louis smiles and hands her the gifts, “I heard that making new dishes and red wine is one of your hobbies, so I asked someone to bring me some ingredients from abroad. You can try these later.”

“Are you trying to bribing me?”

“If I want to bribe you, I won’t use these small gifts.” Louis continues, “I like the dishes you make and hope you will make it better and expand your storefront. Thereafter, you can hire some employees and what you need to do is just to count money. You’ll be happy if you can afford your grandchild’s powdered milk, right?”
