When Lily walked out of the hospital, Kerr's car was already waiting for her at the door. Seeing her, he opened the door of the passenger seat for her.
"Thank you, uncle Kerr." Lily said thank you to him. Then she got on the car and closed the door.
"You are welcome. Just say thank you." Kerr then started the car and left.
Lily smiled, "Uncle Kerr. I didn't expect you to be so funny."
"I can't be too rigid. It's too tired." With a smile, Kerr continued, "Your mother has prepared lunch in the manor. She said that she hasn't seen you for a long time. She wants to prepare a rich lunch. I'm not sure if I have a good appetite today. Alas..."
He sighed deliberately and glanced at Lily from the corner of his eye.
Lily knew he said it on purpose. She said in a joking tone, "Uncle Kerr, if you want to eat, just say it. I will say some good words for you in front of mom."
"Well, it seems that I have to fawn on you more."
"Uncle Kerr, you are really good."
Lily liked Kerr's humor. He was easy to get along with. Although they just knew each other for a short time, she could feel that he really treated her and her mother well. Otherwise, he would not try his best to help her. What's more, he had a crush on her mother secretly. There were few men who loved secretly these years, and he was such a successful man.
They soon arrived at the manor, where they talked and laughed along the way. Just as what Kerr had said, it was a remote place and was still in the forest in the suburbs. It gave people a feeling of slight wildness.
There were walls around the manor and towering trees could be seen outside. And inside the walls, there were two storey buildings which were also constructed in ancient times.
As soon as the car was parked, Lily couldn't wait to get off the car. Looking at the scenery in front of her, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide. The flower ground in the front yard was filled with pink roses. Pink roses stood for the first love, and most importantly, it was her mother's favorite flower!
An idea flashed through Lily's mind. She turned around and looked at Kerr who just got off the car. Just as she was about to say something, a familiar voice interrupted her. "Miss Lily, you are here. Come in."
Lily turned around and saw Uncle Colin walking towards her with a smile. "Uncle Colin, you don't have to call me Miss Lily anymore. You can just call my name."
"Okay." Colin was not unreasonable and nodded his head directly. Recently he had lost his prestige when he stayed with Tina.
"Uncle Colin, do you still hate me when I set you up and kicked you out of the Qiao family?"
"You underestimated me, didn't you? In fact, it's not bad to leave the Qiao family. It's good to be with Tina. At least I'm more freedom." Colin replied honestly.
Kerr walked over and joked when he saw them talking. "Isn't it tired for you to talk here?"
"Sizz..." Lily couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Kerr. It's you who are tired."
"My waist is aching. That's why I decided to go inside and have a rest. If you don't feel the pain, you can continue talking here." After saying that, he took a look at them and went inside first.
Lily withdrew her sight with a smile and looked at Colin. "Uncle Colin, let's go in."
"Okay." Colin nodded and said while walking, "He is a nice guy. He cares about your mother. He has been helping us since the first time we met him."
Lily nodded in agreement with Colin. She thought it would be nice for her mother to be with Kerr in the rest of her life. She was happier than living in the Qiao family. Someone had said that she would rather marry a man who loved her but not someone she loved.
As they walked into the living room, Lily opened her eyes widely. All the decorations in the room were in the vintage style. The wooden floor, the fabric sofa, the table, and the chairs were all made of solid wood.
At this time, the woman in an apron walked out, with the fresh cooked food in her hand. While walking towards the dining table, she said to them, "Wash your hands. The dinner is about to start."
"Mom..." Lily ran to her and hugged her. "I'm so lucky to have the dinner you cook."
"What are you talking about?" Tina patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go and wash your hands. The dinner is ready."
"Okay." Lily let go of her hand and turned around to the kitchen. She happened to meet Kerr who was walking out with a dish in his hand.
"Go straight and turn left." He reminded.
Without looking at him, Lily went straight to the kitchen. "It's troublesome to go to the bathroom. I can wash it in the kitchen."
"Lily, how could you be so impolite?" Seeing her behave like this, Tina taught her.
"Tina, we are at home now. Don't be too strict," "I like her character."
