She has tried her best to take good care of Louis, as if she was having a crush on him!&#8221; Ellison says.<\/p>\n<p>Their sarcasms make Lily frown.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that they are ganging up on her. Actually, however, it is about Louis. She doesn&#8217;t want Louis to be embarrassed. Just as she is about to say something, Antony pats her hand and says, &#8220;It&#8217;s OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily purses her lips and doesn&#8217;t speak.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;President Lily, your ex-mother-in-law has arrived. Aren&#8217;t you going to say hello to her?&#8221; Ellison continues. &#8220;It&#8217;s a pity that Jason isn&#8217;t here. If he were here, it would be interesting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Katherine laughs. &#8220;President Lily seems to be still holding a grudge! That makes sense. After all, Jason cheated you first, and your mother-in-law didn&#8217;t take your side. If I were you, I would ignore her too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enough! Stop.&#8221; Olivia pretends to stop them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No offense.&#8221; Katherine feels wronged. &#8220;I just feel that President Lily is really impressive. She&#8217;s just a translator, but she has managed to reach such a high position. I have to say she has foresight. Every man she likes belongs to our family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At this time, Louis says indifferently, &#8220;Since you have so much to say, I&#8217;ll give you the chance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He asks a servant to bring over a high platform.<\/p>\n<p>After the servant brings a one-meter-tall platform to the living room, Louis points at it and says, &#8220;Ellison, Katherine, go up to the platform and keep talking. Let&#8217;s have fun together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Talking on the platform? What&#8217;s the difference between that and a circus show?<\/p>\n<p>Katherine does not expect Louis to do so. She says awkwardly, &#8220;No. I have a sore throat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then bring a pot of tea to moisten your throat,&#8221; Louis says in an oppressive voice, &#8220;Go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Katherine looks at Olivia.<\/p>\n<p>Before Olivia speaks, Louis says, &#8220;It takes more than two to make a show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Olivia understands what he means by that. Her face darkens, but she says nothing.<\/p>\n<p>She knows that Louis always keeps his words.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia won&#8217;t help. Antony also keeps out of it. Louis says again, &#8220;Go.&#8221; Katherine and Ellison have no choice but to go on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Louis looks at them and smiles, yet with cold eyes. &#8220;Keep talking. Be happy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stressed and nervous, they start talking. No matter what they talk about, they can&#8217;t stop. They can drink tea when they are thirsty. Three hours later, they finish chatting and step down from the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Today, apart from Jason, Richard and his eldest son are also absent. Antony asks Louis and Lily to sit on his left.<\/p>\n<p>The servants pour wine for everyone in turn.<\/p>\n<p>The wine smells good, but the wine cup is taken away and handed over to the servant by Louis immediately.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She can&#8217;t drink.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But it isn&#8217;t spirit but red wine. What Louis says catches everyone&#8217;s attention.<\/p>\n<p>Someone asks, &#8220;Is she pregnant?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really?&#8221; Antony seems very surprised, as if he hadn&#8217;t been to the villa that day. He adds happily, &#8220;Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Good things come in pairs!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>People present different expressions.<\/p>\n<p>Louis&#8217; action has clearly suggested that Lily is carrying his baby and they have gone steady.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really?&#8221; Although Katherine has been taught a lesson, she seems to have learned nothing from it. She snorts, &#8220;I heard that she also faked a pregnancy when she was married with Jason just to take revenge on him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then she looks at Janet and says, &#8220;Is that true?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Janet wants to nod, but Louis&#8217; glare startles her. Her back gets sweaty. She laughs in embarrassment, &#8220;They were just joking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aren&#8217;t you tired after speaking so long on the platform? Louis stays with Lily every day. You don&#8217;t need to worry so much,&#8221; says Antony.<\/p>\n<p>Katherine says, &#8220;I&#8217;m just worried that Louis would be cheated&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know what I&#8217;m talking about! If you don&#8217;t explain, what if Master Smith asks why my belly doesn&#8217;t swell?&#8221; Lily glares at him and says through gritted teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Louis smiles and says in a deep voice, &#8220;Come closer, and I&#8217;ll tell you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily looks at him suspiciously, but he seems honest, so she gets closer to him. However, he suddenly kisses her in public.<\/p>\n<p>Katherine is so shocked that she drops her chopsticks.<\/p>\n<p>Antony is very happy. Then he coughs and says seriously, &#8220;It&#8217;s dinner time. Mind your behavior!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis lets go of Lily and says calmly, &#8220;She asked me to kiss her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily pinches his waist.<\/p>\n<p>Louis is no longer that cold man. Instead, he becomes a bad man who tells a lie!<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, everyone takes a sightseeing bus to the Lotus Pond. The tables and chairs have been set up, with tea and moon cakes on it for everyone to enjoy while appreciating the moonlight.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Lotus Pond isn&#8217;t far away from them, Lily decides to push Louis over.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about what happened during dinner, Lily is very annoyed. Along the way, she complains about Louis, &#8220;President Smith, you&#8217;ve gone too far. You don&#8217;t have to do that. It&#8217;s just a show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a show,&#8221; Louis says.<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>Lily stops and lowers her head. He is also looking at her with a deep gaze.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lily&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis opens his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Lily seems to know what he is going to say and hurriedly interrupts him, &#8220;President Smith, I left my phone in the house. Please go over by yourself. I&#8217;ll go back and get my phone!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2107","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2107","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=2107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
