A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 381

The servant looks at the sunflower in his arms and can't help asking, "Miss Jessie, do you like sunflowers?"

"What's wrong?"

"I've been here to pick up my aunt several times. I heard her say that the sunflowers in your room must be changed every day to keep them fresh, so I wonder if you like them and if that's why Mr. Leigh has someone send you sunflowers every day."

Jessie's eyes flash and she says, "I don't like it. It's the symbol of lies."

...

It happens that Leigh comes back to the villa this afternoon and wants to see Jessie.

After he goes up to the third floor, before he enters the bedroom, he could vaguely hear the conversation between Jessie and the servant.

Leigh stopped in front of the door.

He hears Jessie say with a laughing tone. "The sunflowers are bathed in sunlight. They look beautiful but they lure people to commit crimes. They are fatal."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I used it for some things. Speaking of which, I have to thank those flowers."

Outside the door, Leigh smiles silently. He takes the sunflower-shaped ornament off from his neck and stares at it. He thinks of the day when Jessie bought it for him in Country R. Compared to what she said just now, the sunflower looks so ironic.

They are fatal.

He has lost so miserably to a woman and almost risked his life!

He does not kick the door nor does he wear a ferocious expression. He just turns around expressionlessly and goes downstairs. Naturally, he does not hear what Jessie speaks to the servant later.

In the bedroom, Jessie does not know that Leigh was here. She looks out of the window and seems lost in thought. "Because of it, I know how good a man can be to you and how much you will love him."

The servant asks, "You mean Mr. Leigh?"

Jessie smiles at him and says, "Sunflower means 'No one else but you in my heart'. Beautiful, isn't it? I hope you can give your loved one a bunch of sunflowers grown under the fresh sunlight. She can understand how much you love her without you saying a word."

"I don't know why Mr. Leigh doesn't allow you to go out, but I think you must love him very much." The servant looks at Jessie and says, "When you talk about Mr. Leigh, you are always smiling."

"Is that so? I didn't mention him at all." Jessie feels her cheeks.

She is looking at the servant on the sofa, but her mind is full of Leigh's image. She is no longer in the mood to draw, so she asks the servant to put the flowers back and he does so.

Jessie sits on the bed and reads a book. The servant just waits there.

Shortly after, another servant comes upstairs and whispers something to the man. The two leave the bedroom together.

She doesn't care but reads the book.

When Jessie finishes reading, she realizes that it is getting dark. The lights in the bedroom have been turned on, and the servant who watches her has been changed into a woman in her thirties.

Jessie asks curiously, "What about the one watching me at noon? Is he not coming?"

"Oh, his aunt is seriously ill. The hospital called." The servant lowers her head and replies, "Mr. Leigh permitted him to go take care of his aunt and asked me to take his place."

Without giving Jessie the chance to speak, the servant asks, "Miss Jessie, do you have anything you want for dinner? If not, I'll follow the menu."

"Okay." Jessie gives up the impulse to ask.

About an hour later, the servant comes upstairs with dinner.

Jessie glances at the plate and sees that there is a piece of newspaper under it. It seems like it is used to prevent the soup from leaking.

It looks normal, but when she vaguely sees the words of 'the president of HS Group died' in the newspaper, they stir up the hatred she has suppressed in her heart.

Jessie asks the servant for the newspaper, "I want to read it, can I?"
