The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 

Lydia looked at Haylan Jaber and smiled, “Don’t look at me like that. I’m just telling the truth. Don’t tell me that you want to hide our relationship from your parents.” 

“Don’t celebrities have to keep their relationships a secret? You’re spouting nonsense. If my mother spread the news, aren’t you afraid of ruining your reputation?” Haylan was speechless. 

“Im not spouting nonsense. You and I are a couple from the beginning.” Lydia said. 

“Doesn’t your face blush when you are lying?” Haylan asked. 

“Alright. Haylan, what nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you. You’re not allowed to bully my daughter-in-law!” 

Felicia glared at Haylan. Then, she grabbed Lydia’s hand and said, “Lydia, if Haylan dares to bully you, tell me. I’ll help you 

teach him a lesson.” 

“Okay, Mrs. Felicia! I’ll tell you if he does something to me,” Lydia said. 

“Come in and have a seat. What do you like to eat? I’ll get some for you.” 

Felicia was overjoyed. She pulled Lydia to the dining table and asked about Lydia’s preference. She even kept picking food for Lydia. 

“Mrs. Felicia, no need to be troubled. I’ll do it myself.” 

Lydia looked at the table full of dishes and was rather tempted. She picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. After she tasted it carefully, her eyes lit up. She raised her thumb at Felicia and praised Felicia endlessly. 

“Mrs. Felicia, the braised pork you cooked is so delicious. It’s even better than that of the chefs in the five-star hotels!” 

In an instant. Lydia’s words made Felicia overjoyed. Felicia was happy, and her attitude toward Lydia became even more enthusiastic “Come on. Lydia. Eat more. You’re so thin. 

Felicia used her chopsticks and put a lot of food into Lydia’s bowl 

Lydia was used to eating delicacies, so she wasn’t very interested in them and ate less. 

On the contrary. Lydia was fond of home-cooked dishes that were not available in high-end hotels and praised them continuously 

While Lydia was eating, Charlie, Floris, and the others looked at each other in embarrassment. They felt that everything was unreal 

Lydia was a famous superstar. She could earn at least millions of dollars by filming a drama, not to mention the countless. endorsements and commercial advertisements. It was not exaggerating to say that Lydia’s hands would ache from counting money. Such an international superstar was now eating with the Jaber family in a dilapidated house in the slums of Ruglane 

District. 

They felt as if they were dreaming 

“Don’t just sit still there. Let’s eat together Lydia didn’t stand on ceremony. It seemed that she had treated herself as the hostess She greeted Floris and the others and invited them to eat together. 

Lydia even picked up a chicken drumstick and placed it in Tracy’s bowl. 

“Thank you. Lydia,” Tracy said obediently. 

“You are welcome, Tracy. What a good girl” Lydia smiled brightly. She imitated Haylan and stroked Tracy’s hair. 

Tracy seemed to enjoy Lydia’s touch as well. She chuckled as if it was comfortable. 

“My name is Lydia Riley. You should all know my name, right? What are your names?” Lydia turned to look at Floris and the others. 

Lydia was a female celebrity and was good at communicating with others. Thus, she quickly got along with everyone. 

Lydia was honey-mouthed. She kept praising Felicia and Charlie until they were amused and laughed out loud. 

Moreover, Lydia regarded Floris as her elder sister and treated Yelena and Queenie as her younger sisters. Also, Lydia recognized Harris and George as her younger brothers. She was approachable and did not put on airs Soon, she integrated into the entire Jaber family and had a harmonious relationship with them. 

After the meal, Harris, Yelena, and the others mustered their courage and took pictures with Lydia 

As Felicia found out that Lydia would spend the night at her house, she cleaned up Haylan’s room right away and even sprayed some perfume in the room. What was more, Felicia went out to buy flowers and decorated the room in a romantic 

way 

Felicia even chased Harris and George out and asked them to share a room with Charlie. She and Floris squeezed into 

another room. 

Knowing that Lydia didn’t bring any toiletries with her, Felicia went out once again to buy some and handed them to Lydia. Only then did Felicia return to her room and shut the door tightly, leaving Haylan and Lydia alone. 

At night, Lydia was drying her hair in the room after taking a shower. Looking at the two closed doors, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Haylan, your parents love you so much. 

“I can tell that they’re both waiting to have grandchildren. You can’t let them down.” 

Although Lydia was a superstar, she had once filmed in a place where life was difficult and suffered, so she could accept the poor conditions of the Jaber family. She wasn’t pampered and didn’t have many bad habits. 

“That’s none of your business.” 

Haylan closed the door and stared at Lydia. He lowered his voice and said, “Let me tell you. There should be a limit to your nonsense. When did I become your boyfriend?” 

“I was just trying to make your parents happy. Look at how happy your parents were when they found out that I was your girlfriend,” Lydia said as she was drying her hair. 

Td like to thank you for that.” 

Haylan lit a cigarette and took a puff. Then, he said. “They treat you as their daughter-in-law and are concerned abour you so much. Have you considered how sad they will be if they realize that you’re just acting?” 

It had indeed been a long time since Haylan had seen his parents smile so happily. However, fake happiness would definitely be exchanged for sadness. 

Haylan did not want to see his parents disappointed. 

Just as Haylan was about to say more, Lydia suddenly walked to him and snatched the cigarette from his hand. She put it in the ashtray and put it out. She wore a bright smile as she said, “Smoking will affect men’s function.” 

Haylan didn’t know what to say.
