A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 375

A servant comes over and tells them that they have prepared a new bedroom for Lily.

John refuses the offer. He examines Lily's things and wants to take her to his bedroom.

"No." Lily declines awkwardly. "The new room is not far from yours. You can still take care of me. Just relax."

But John ignores her struggles. He holds her hand and takes her to his bedroom.

After closing the door, he says, "Lily, you're not alone. You're pregnant now. I promised I would take good care of you, and I'll do it."

"Don't worry. My bedroom is big enough. I can make a simple bed in the cloakroom. I will try my best to come back late, so that I won't disturb you and the baby."

After saying that, John goes to the cloakroom and makes a bed in it. He takes out a pillow and a blanket from his closet.

Since John insists, Lily feels no longer embarrassed. She's even a little touched by his care.

Lily takes a shower. She does not want to sleep now. So, she continues to study the politicians on the list.

Her eyes flicker when she sees Justin's name.

John is in the bathroom. Lily checks Justin's number and calls him.

She holds her breath while waiting.

After several seconds, Justin picks it up.

"Justin, this is Lily," Lily says.

"Ms. Lily." Justin replies in a gentle voice, "I haven't seen you in a while. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Have you received an invitation to the King's Party?"

Justin smiles. "Yeah. But why do you ask? Are you going there too?"

Lily purses her lips and tells him her purpose. "John's father gave him a list. If everyone on the list signs the document, he will get the inheritance back."

"Let me guess. I'm on that list?"

"Yes."

Justin says indifferently, "Ms. Lily, I know you're smart. You went to Country Y with John and even helped him get the inheritance right. You're doing this to avenge Chloe, right? But you were wrong from the beginning. If you had told Louis the truth and cared about him more, these things would not have happened."

"I'm sorry." Lily has done a lot of stupid things, and she could only apologize.

She touches her belly and asks in a low voice, "How is he?"

"You've broken up with him. It's none of your business," Justin says, "I do have the invitation. But I'm afraid I won't be able to get there. I'm too busy."

Lily has known what Justin would say when she called him. But she still feels disappointed now.

If John couldn't get all the signatures, he could not get the inheritance right.

"Justin, I'm sorry I ruined your lab." Lily tries to win him over. "I'll make it up for you."

"You don't have to apologize. Jonathan is the one who should compensate for my loss." Justin seems to be in a hurry. "Is there anything else? I got to go."

Lily hesitates for a while before saying, "John needs Ixora, but it's ... ruined. Justin, I know you're very smart. Please save John even for his sake as your experimental subject. I will fund your research no matter how much it costs."
