“Can’t they deliver it?” Louis frowned and looked around.
There were many people, and the ground was also slippery. He was worried about leaving Lily alone. What if she knocks onto something?
“It’s at the intersection, it’s just slightly more than a hundred meters away. You can just buy it.” Lily waved her hand to drive him away and continued to look at the menu, “I’ll wait for you here. I won’t leave.”
“Boss!” Lily ignored and called the boss over to order food, “Three catties of garlic crayfish, and...”
After ordering the meal, she looked up and saw that the man was still standing at the table. Lily felt helpless, “Get along, I won’t leave. Otherwise, I’ll buy it, you wait here and peel the crayfish for me?”
She was just about to get up from the chair.
“I’ll go.” Louis pressed her down to stop her and pinched her cheek, “Don’t run around, the floors are slippery. If there’s anything you want, do wait for me to get back, understand?”
It was crowded but he didn’t feel embarrassed. However, Lily was, and she immediately patted his hand away.
“Go, go!”
After Lily watched the man head out, she immediately grabbed the boss who was passing by and said that he wanted a can of cold Sprite.
After Sprite was her hands on it, she poured two small sips into the cup.
Wow, it’s so delicious!
However, Lily didn’t dare to drink too much. She was afraid that to be punished by that man. She drank from a small glass and send him to Facebook message.
Lily: ‘Have you arrived?’
Louis: ‘Yes, there are a lot of people. Will have to wait ten minutes.’
He even sent her a photo.
There were still eight to nine people lined up in front of him. Lily could imagine how upset the man was and couldn’t help but laugh.
Lily: ‘It’s just a few people. Just wait for a while...You said you will buy a roast duck for me!’
Louis: ‘You didn’t order an iced drink, right?’
Lily glanced at Sprite on the table and was feeling guilty.
Lily: ‘I didn’t. I’ll wait for you to get back with roast duck.’
Lily exited Facebook and went to look through her mailbox. She frowned when she saw the empty mailbox.
Previously when she was hospitalized, she was still able to receive a lot of company emails. However, in the past two days, the frequency has been decreasing.
She didn't know if John was worried about her rest and told others not to disturb her.
Suddenly, the light in front of her was obscured by a tall body.
“Hey, you bought it so quickly?” Lily thought Louis had returned from buying roast duck. When she raised her head and saw the man in front of him, she was taken aback, “John...”
John adjusted his glasses, with warmth in his eyes, “Mr. Smith told me that you two were here and told me to come over.”
With John's response, Lily was curious about what Louis talked to on John when she was hospitalized.
When did their relationship become so good?
Lily still felt a little guilty when she met him.
She told John that she would not have anything with Louis, yet she still let Louis be by her side.
“Have a seat.” Lily tried her best to dissolve the awkwardness, smiled, and poured him a glass of water, “What do you want to eat?”
John shook his head, “I purposely came to inform you about something.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Jessie has been found.”
“Re... Really?” Lily looked at him in surprise, she was so excited that she couldn’t speak properly, “Is she okay with her child?”
“Yes.” John smiled, “They’re safe, I’ll bring you over to meet her.”
Lily didn’t doubt him, so she picked up her bag and followed him, “Let’s go now, I want to meet her.”
John went over to support her.
When he saw her high belly, his eyes darkened, yet he still whispered, “The floor tiles are slippery, be careful.”
Lily followed John to the parking lot and got into his car.
After he got to Bentley, he got into the car and carefully put the woman in the back seat.
When John saw the ring on the woman’s fingers, he took them off without hesitation and sat down beside her.
The ring was handed to Amanda, and he said, “Send it back.”
“Yes.” Amanda took the ring and glanced at Lily, who was asleep in the car. She wanted to say, but in the end, she could only say, “Mr. John, have a safe journey.”
“OK.”
The Bentley that had John and Lily in it quickly left, while Amanda detoured to return the ring.
Louis, who was still queuing up to buy the roast duck, was unaware of all that had happened.
He looked at his watch and then at the person in front of him.
He had been in line for seven to eight minutes yet there are still seven people in front of him. He didn’t know if the store sold a lot of items or if there were manpower issues in the store.
Louis was getting a little irritable as he waited, he thought about Lily who was still at the food stall and sent her a message.
After waiting for more than a minute, he had no reply.
Louis frowned, and he suddenly felt uneasy, so he called Lily.
He placed his mobile phone to his ear and waited for Lily to answer. There was a commotion in front of him, and he looked up and someone had seemed to cut in line.
The young man’s attitude was arrogant, and the guest behind quarreled with him.
The young man who cut in line was very rude, said he was starving to death, and what’s wrong with giving way. The guest behind him was not happy. They were getting more heated up and eventually started a fight.
The people who were still at the back were afraid of being affected, so they kept backing away, and Louis was still knocked.
After a while, the scene became chaotic.
The two men fought violently, smashing the roast duck shop, and all the seven to eight roast ducks that were hanging had felled to the ground.
The boss and the workers were all taken aback and retreated to hide.
The call couldn’t get through for a long time, Louis was already anxious, and when he saw the two of them smashing the roast duck shop, he hung up the phone and went over with a gloomy face, and fiercely dragged the young man.
