A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 352

Lily can't look straight at him because his gaze is blazing.

She moves her lips and lies, shaking her head with a smile, "Yes, I will always be with you."

"Really?" John's eyes light up as if he were reborn. Then he takes her to the dining room.

"I cooked lunch. It's all your favorite."

Guilt crosses Lily's heart. She forces a smile and sits down at the table to dine with him, praising, "Chef Dawn, you are getting better at this!"

"Then loosen your belt."

"Don't worry. I will eat up because you prepared it!"

John is pleased and chuckles, handing over a bowl of soup.

Noticing Lily's mouth is greasy and cream is at her lip corners, he reaches out his thumb to wipe it off for her, but she leans back to avoid intimate contact.

John's hand stops there, his eyes gloomy.

She looks a little awkward and whispers, "I didn't mean to.... Please don't mind."

"I was being rude." John quickly puts on a warm smile and hands her a napkin. "I still have time. I will wait for you to accept me."

Lily nods. "After a month, you'll be healthy as a horse!"

John puts food in her bowl and says after a while, "The hotel is boring. I don't want to stay any longer. I want to live somewhere with neighbors and gardens."

"Alright, I'll look for it this afternoon," Lily quickly says. She also feels the hotel is like a cage. John can't stay there for long. "We will plant camellias in the garden."

John remembers that woman's snarky words and resentful gaze in the restaurant in South City. His heart aches as if it were stabbed, the pain unbearable.

He looks down and whispers, "No.... I don't like camellias. I don't want to see them ever again."

It reminds him of his indecent parentage and how his whole life has been a lie.

Lily thinks of all he has gone through, and her nose turns sore. "Okay, then we won't have them. What about green roses? I like the ones you gave me when we were having a good time in Hanchi."

John looks up at her and says, "You already know?"

"Yes." Lily's eyes are sore, and she doesn't know what to say. "You idiot, you always bottle things up. Why didn't you tell me...?"

"Yes, I wish I had told you sooner," John murmurs.

If he played dirty and were braver, and if he confessed everything to her and kept her around no matter what, Louis wouldn't be part of her life.

It turns out the most conniving one always wins, no matter when he joins the game.

"Have some more." Lily suppresses her bad feelings and puts more food in his bowl, smiling, "Let's look for a house after dinner. It won't rain today!"

John also smiles, "Great."

After lunch, Lily helps to clean up. At around one o'clock in the afternoon, they leave the hotel together.

Lily finds a few good residential areas with convenient transportation on the local real estate websites. She arranges an appointment with an agent and drives John to visit the open houses.

They drive around the city for more than an hour for the houses and nail down a villa with a garden in the residential area of Randulas Road.

This place seems to be favored by those who come from China. On their way here, Lily and John meet several Asians with black hair and eyes and greet them amicably.

After signing the contract, Lily and John go back to the hotel to pack their things.
