Chapter 163
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 163<\/p>\n
\u201cHaha\u2026 Lou… President Smith was just joking. Please don’t take it to heart.\u201d Lily hastily explains to those C-level executives, \u201cI came to visit President Smith because I was worrying about his legs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The executives hiss knowingly. Obviously they are not convinced.<\/p>\n
They were not blind and clearly saw Lily walk out of the bed room just now. Is this just a \u2018visit’?<\/p>\n
\u201cRest assured, President Lily. We all know about it.\u201d One of the executives cuts in, \u201cThe Smith Group is in its crisis now. And we’ll keep your pregnancy a secret. When President Smith is recovered, maybe he’ll announce it personally.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, we all understand it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily, \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She’s not pregnant! Really not!<\/p>\n
But since it was President Smith who told them the lie, no one would listen to Lily’s explanation.<\/p>\n
The executives leave one by one.<\/p>\n
Before walking out, Meghan says to Lily, \u201cPresident Lily, I have many friends in overseas. Tell me if you need my help.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney, are you feeling uncomfortable?\u201d Louis pushes the wheelchair over when he sees that Lily’s gloomy expression, \u201cShall I call the family doctor?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily refuses expressionlessly, \u201cNo need, thanks!\u201d<\/p>\n
She just wants to beat him up right at this moment.<\/p>\n
After handling all the matters, Meghan comes back to her apartment, takes off her coat and hangs it on a cloth rack. Then she heads towards into the study room.<\/p>\n
In the study room, John is sitting on a black-wood chair decently with his legs crossed, seeming to have a video call with someone and spitting out words in pure, charming British English.<\/p>\n
John peers at her and continues to talk into the phone, and then soon takes off the earphones.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinished?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, there are a lot of things to deal with in the Smith Group. I’m so tired.\u201d Meghan walks over and embraces him from the back, \u201cI went to Louis’ Villa to have a meeting today, and found something interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n
John smiles, \u201cI’m curious. What kind of thing has triggered your interest?\u201d<\/p>\n
Meghan plugs an USB into the laptop and opens a video. Then there comes Louis’s voice. He was telling everyone that Lily had been pregnant and would not come to work in the Smith Group frequently.<\/p>\n
\u201cLily is pregnant! What a surprise!\u201d Meghan steals a glance at John yet is disappointed to find out that he has no reaction after hearing the recording.<\/p>\n
She then deliberately puts in some stimulating words, \u201cI used to think that Louis is into Lily but I denied it due to his engagement with Miss Stella. But now it seems that my guess is correct.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho would have noticed that Lily is pregnant if he didn’t tell us?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s really a surprise.\u201d John finally reacts, yet his voice is flat, \u201cIt seems that Louis has reached an agreement with Stella on something. And their engagement is just a show to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meghan cuts in, \u201cThe crisis of the Smith Group has no negative impact on Long Peace Group. It’s said that Stella Scott has been promoted as an executive in the group, and President Scott even plans to transfer shares to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLouis is really generous.\u201d John says, \u201cIt’s just an engagement ceremony, but it has a great effect. He has helped Stella break away from her identity as an illegitimate daughter and become an executive in Long Peace Group.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meghan jokes, \u201cMaybe Louis wants both. Although Stella is an illegitimate daughter of the Scott family, she’s smart and capable. After all, she manages to stay in the Scott family with as an illegitimate daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
John takes off his glasses and rubs his eyebrows as he says flatly, \u201cI don’t care what he is thinking about, I just want to acquire the Smith Group. Did Richard Smith agree with our terms?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s hard to persuade her.\u201d Meghan draws circles on his chest with her finger, \u201cHe is dreaming of taking charge of the Smith Group and becoming the biggest substantial shareholder.<\/p>\n
John curls his lips into a smile as a trace of disdain flashes across his eyes, \u201cHe had engaged in the business world for several decades, yet he still couldn’t see through such a trick of Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then adds, \u201cThey we can use some hard approaches to compel him to agree. He has two sons, right? Sons, and shares, let’s see which one he will choose.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou’re so cruel.\u201d Megan bites his earlobe and chuckles, \u201cThe Smith Group is a big company yet you want to gulp it down with one bite. Aren’t you afraid that things will lose control if you’re rushing for quick results?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I will divide it and enjoy it slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about me?\u201d Meghan tightens her embrace and says in a soft voice. She leans onto John like soft noodles as her lips gradually approach his cheek.<\/p>\n
John slightly turns his head and comforts in a soft voice, \u201cI have something to deal with yet, you can go first.\u201d<\/p>\n
After washing herself up, Lily walks out of the room yawning. When she is about to go downstairs, she thinks of Louis and turns to knock on his door.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Smith.\u201d<\/p>\n
She didn’t know how she had gone through last night. As long as Louis took out his phone, she would be so nervous, fearing that Louis would create a disturbance.<\/p>\n
It has been 12 hours, and he must have been sobered up, right?<\/p>\n
Soon the door of Louis bedroom is opened. Louis, in leisure wear with his hair messy, looks as charming and graceful as he is in usual times.<\/p>\n
He smiles at Lily, \u201cHey my wife. Good morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
W\u2026 wife?<\/p>\n
Lily is started that she stops yawning and stares at Louis in confusion.<\/p>\n
He still looks graceful, but his gaze is so gentle, with a trace of dizziness in it. He looks completely different from that normal Louis in usual times!<\/p>\n
Lily pats her chest and stammers, \u201cMr\u2026 Mr\u2026 Louis, did you drink alcohol last night?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAh, maybe.\u201d Louis ponders for a while and then asks, \u201cAre you mentioning the alcohol in a big glass jug in the kitchen? It tasted good. But when drinking it, I felt that my throat was burning.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She should have thrown away the alcohol. Why did she put it in the kitchen?!<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney, you’re not dressed well.\u201d Seeing that the belt of Lily’s shirt is loosened, Louis caringly helps her lace it up. But his fingers accidently touch the skin on her waist.<\/p>\n
Lily is started and steps backward with her cheeks flushed, \u201cI’ll go prepare breakfast, what would you like?\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis looks at her with a trace of tenderness in his deep-set eyes, \u201cI’ll enjoy it as long as it is prepared by you, my dear wife\u201d<\/p>\n
Damn, he’s so charming and seductive when saying this!<\/p>\n
Lily can’t bear to stay with him any longer and rushes downstairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2100","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
