A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 317

Lily thinks for a while and asks Daisy, “Mom, you tell me what she meant. Was she just trying to emotionally manipulate me?”

Daisy glances at the peace symbol.

“Doesn’t look like it. She has been here a few times to buy wine and she seemed very nice.” Daisy says as she locks the shop door, “Even if she is your father’s new wife’s sister, she has no hatred towards you.”

Lily looks at her mother warily, “Mom, why are you siding with her? Did she ask you for any favors?”

“No.”

“She really didn’t tell you about Absalom?”

“She really didn’t!” Daisy scratches her eyes and says in a disgruntled tone, “You think about others in such an unbearable way! I don’t know how to say… Oh! Forget it! Let’s go shopping.”

Lily doesn’t drop the topic, she asks her curiously, “How to say what? Mom, what are you hiding from me?”

“She is your elder. Respect her.”

“I just said that you fall for people’s words easily. When she comes over, just don’t pay attention to her words.” Lily also doesn’t doubt her words, “After all she is from the same family as Absalom. She must be on his side.”

“Okay.” Daisy waves her hand, “Do you want to go to my place to eat lunch? If not then just go back.”

“…”

After seeing so much in life, now she is getting rejected by her own mother?

Taking the elevator with Daisy, Lily looks at the peace symbol.

Her attitude just now was completely fine. She thinks.

She also respectfully called her auntie.

Like her mother says, when did she disrespect her elder?

After returning home from grocery shopping, Daisy makes Lily clean out the boxes of grapes for wine. Daisy goes into the kitchen to make lunch after her busy schedule.

“Mom, just make something simple.” Lily shouts towards the kitchen. She has not eaten anything since the morning so she is very hungry. She can eat whatever her mother makes right now.

“You pick your grapes, don’t talk too much!”

Lily, “…”

After Lily finishes picking and cleaning four boxes of grapes, and also after helping her mother wash several large cans to be filled later with wine, Daisy finally says, “Come eat.”

Lily washes her hands and runs to the table.

The table is full of dishes - five dishes and one soup. The pot of meatball soup smells delicious, and there are also braised pig trotters!

“Mom, no wonder you took so long to make dinner. You were making braised pig trotters.” Lily greedily stretches her chopsticks towards the dish only to have her hand slapped away unceremoniously by Daisy.

Daisy gives her a small bowl containing only two pig trotters, “This is yours.”

“Can’t I eat from the platter?” Lily looks at the big steaming platter and then at her small bowl. Her bowl just looks pitiful in comparison.

Lily says solemnly, “Mom, the doctor said that I need to stay healthy, but he allowed me to eat pig trotters! You don’t want to vacuum pack it and send it abroad for Coffey to eat, do you?”

“I want to send it but I have to look at the postage fee and time!” Daisy gave her a look, then brings over two lunch boxes and packs the soup and pig trotters.

“Then what are you…?

“This is for my son-in-law and that… that who works besides him…” Daisy can’t remember the name for a while, “That burly-looking clerk… baby, what’s his name?”

“David. He is Louis’s special assistant, not a clerk.” Lily replies and then realizes that something’s wrong, “You made so much good food and it’s all for them? What do I get?”

Daisy points on the table, “Eat the vegetables. You have gained weight, so lose it.”

“… Mom, how could you?” Lily is even lower than David in her mother’s heart, “All this is too much, they must have ordered takeaway already. Mom, leave all this for me to eat!”

“I just called them; they said they didn’t eat yet.”

“…”
