David frowns and says after thinking for a while, "But Mr. Smith, the penalty for planting opium poppy is not severe. Willow almost killed Mrs. Smith, and she is so vicious. Will you let her go just like that?"
Louis looks up at him and says, "If I have to tell you everything, what I need you for?"
"Oh, I see." David responds fast and he feels that he is truly an all-round assistant. "Mr. Smith, I feel that apart from giving you a baby, I can do everything."
Louis says nothing but his face instantly darkens.
"Mr. Smith, I was just joking." Seeing Louis' expression, David gives a hollow laugh.
"Shut up! Keep your eyes on the road!"
Afraid that Louis will blacklist him, David concentrates on driving.
Louis is on his phone in the back seat as if he is looking at something.
After a while, he asks David, "How did Jessie get the money for Willow?"
David has figured it out and replies, "Jessie has Mr. Leigh's card and she transferred the money to Willow from the website. But Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith has sent Jessie abroad."
"Where did she go?"
"I checked her flight that time. It's country Y. But I don't know if she went to another city."
Louis looks down and ponders.
As it is a personal affair between Leigh and Jessie, he thinks that they should handle it by themselves so he doesn't pay attention to it. He can guess that Lily has sent Jessie abroad because she wants to hide Jessie from Leigh.
David adds, "Mr. Smith, Mr. Leigh also asks me to inform him if I have any news about Miss Jessie."
"Do you want more work?"
"Of course not!" David already knows what Louis means. He says with a sad look, "Mr. Smith, please spare me. I don't have time to accompany my girlfriend if I have more work to do."
Louis's eyes darken as he says indifferently, "Leave it for Leigh. He has gone too far recently."
At that time, he was busy abroad, if Jessie didn't negotiate with Willow and force her to drop the case, Lily would have a hard time.
He owes Jessie.
And he hasn't made up with Lily. If he helps Leigh now, he will be in real trouble.
--
In the morning, when Lily wakes up in her apartment, she can't come to herself.
She can't believe what happened last night. It is like a dream.
After staying in bed for a while, Lily changes clothes to wash up. Then she knocks on Chandler's bedroom door.
"Chandler, do you wake up?"
"Yes!" Chandler's voice comes from inside.
A few seconds later, the door opens, and Chandler is still sleepy. "Lily, what's the matter?"
"Hurry up to wash your face. We will go to Chloe's for breakfast." Lily finds she becomes lazier after being pregnant. She doesn't have the energy to make breakfast. She intends to eat at Chloe's for the next two days.
After saying that, Lily smells food in his bedroom and frowns. "Did you eat anything last night?"
Chandler instantly wakes up and stutters, "No, I didn't."
"I have nose. I can smell crayfish." Lily pats him on the head. "Why didn't you open the window after eating? How could you sleep with that smell?"
Chandler rubs his head and laughs, "I felt hungry at night, so..."
"Alright, hurry up to wash up!"
After Chandler washes up, Lily takes him to Chloe's for breakfast.
It isn't Betty who opens the door. Coffey surprises Lily, and she doesn't react for a long time. "Coffey? Why are you here?"
"Alright, it's my fault." He has been together with Chloe for so long, and he knows well that women are good at arguing. He absolutely doesn't dare to argue with Lily.
"Lily, what do you want for breakfast?"
"Nothing!" Lily puts on a long face and says angrily, "I'm full of anger with you and Louis!"
"Didn't I admit that it's my fault?"
Lily says coldly, "You admit it, but Louis doesn't! Yesterday, he took me away from the church and even dared to take me to the hospital. I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Coffey doesn't know what to say, "So why don't you scold Mr. Smith, but me?"
"I can't even scold you now, right?"
" ... No."
"Brat, you are inhuman!" Lily glares at him. "I'm even more worried about you than Joey!"
Coffey cooks in silence and doesn't say a word.
Coffey is good at cooking, and he quickly makes a big breakfast. Chloe also wakes up.
Seeing Lily, Chloe has little appetite for breakfast. She insists in sitting beside Lily and asks her what she talked with Louis last night. She has even more questions than Chandler.
Lily gets angry when she thinks of Louis so she just replies with a few words.
Later, when chats with Chloe, she knows that Coffey carried her to the hospital after they fainted at the airport that day.
Coffey comes back very early. He disguises himself and stays by Chloe's side.
She thinks he is dead.
After breakfast, Lily pulls Coffey aside with a complicated expression. "Did he ask you to stay here?"
Coffey nods, "Lily, Mr. Smith is nice to me. Don't complain about him. If he didn't give me another chance, I can't stay with Chloe."
