Chapter 222
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 222<\/p>\n
\u201cLily!\u201d Absalom roars angrily as he raises his hand, \u201cWhat kind of attitude is that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Before he can slap her, his hand is suddenly grabbed by someone.<\/p>\n
Lily never expects someone to intervene on them. When she takes a good look, she freezes when she realizes that it is Louis.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Smith.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis mumbles a response while asking her, \u201cAre you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine. Even if you didn\u2019t make an appearance, he won\u2019t be able to land a slap on my face.\u201d Lily replies as she stares coldly at Absalom. \u201cAbsalom, if you have that much time to pester me, I would advise you to spend some money to look for a suitable candidate before your son\u2019s condition worsens. You could probably get what you want if you do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Absalom replies angrily, \u201cI admit that I am in the wrong in the first place. I shouldn\u2019t have abandoned you guys, but in the end he is still your younger brother. Blood is always thicker than water!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy only younger brother is Coffey.\u201d Lily rebukes with indifference, \u201cBesides, my mother was divorced since a little more than twenty years ago. We have no relationship whatsoever, mind you. If you are so great you can try suing me to the court.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou, you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
This witty yet cold-hearted daughter of his has succeeded in causing his anger to flare up with a hideous expression on his face. He feels like he is going to have a heart attack soon as he is speechless for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe security guards in this area is not doing a good job at all since they just simply let anybody in. I am going to lodge a complaint tomorrow.\u201d Lily says sarcastically before turning around to leave the scene.<\/p>\n
Louis tightens his grip on Absalom\u2019s wrist, and he warns in a low voice, \u201cNever come here again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Absalom is being pressured by someone his junior, and his face is writhing with pain as the pain in his wrist intensifies. He doesn\u2019t have any choice but to nod before Louis lets go of his hand. Then, he leads Rich into the apartment.<\/p>\n
Lily is waiting for the elevator.<\/p>\n
After a moment, Louis follows her into the elevator. A German shepherd is being led by him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this puppy only a month old?\u201d Lily curls the corner of her lips as she discovers that the German shepherd is somehow afraid of Louis, judging from the way it is keeping some distance from him. \u201cNowadays, who would walk a puppy like that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis answers, \u201cIt is too weak, I\u2019m just bringing it out to train.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The German shepherd is barking while wagging its tail. It is also rubbing itself against Lily. Although it is quite dark in colour, Lily still thinks it is quite cute, so she can\u2019t help caressing it in her embrace.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou smell so good! Did you just have a bath?\u201d Lily coos while rubbing it and planting a kiss on its head without any reserve, \u201cYou are so cute!\u201d<\/p>\n
Rich is cute?<\/p>\n
Louis is doubtful of her perspective on such things.<\/p>\n
When he sees Rich rubbing itself against Lily\u2019s breast, he suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. With a pinch of his fingers, he picks the puppy off Lily\u2019s arms and puts it down on the floor coldly.<\/p>\n
In order to prevent Lily from carrying and hugging Rich again, Louis tries to change the topic, \u201cIs that your dad?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily mumbles a response as she begins to explain, \u201cHe\u2019s a selfish and arrogant bastard. He abandoned us a long time ago because he couldn\u2019t get himself to love us. After he remarried, his son was contracted with leukemia not long after, and my bone marrow matches his son\u2019s. He proceeded to come look for me and pestered me for a few months in order to get me to donate my bone marrow. He\u2019s even harassing me in my apartment now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis\u2019 eyes are shrouded in darkness.<\/p>\n
He can see that Absalom is full of hostility and bad-tempered. If he\u2019s desperate, it is highly possible that he would do something terrifying.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will inform the security to tighten their inspection for non-residents coming in and out of your apartment.\u201d Louis promises her, \u201cRemember to prepare some self-defensive tools in your bag.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that.\u201d Lily nods in response to his worries.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you have anything to tell me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis shoots her a sideway glance as he replies noncommittally, \u201cI have seen the morning news. It seems that you have met Daniel\u2019s mother, and she has given you a present.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is no present, the whole fiasco was disastrous!\u201d Lily recalls the events this morning as she somehow feels a throbbing pain in her wrist, \u201cHis mother is too scheming. She even planned for the reporters to wait outside.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis asked, \u201cWhy did you want to see Daniel a while ago?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have so much to say about me, let\u2019s not see each other anymore.\u201d Louis declares, \u201cYou always want to seek something better out there, and my presence must be a nuisance to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe sticks out her tongue as she retorts, \u201cI don\u2019t want to!! I want to see you getting old while staying lonely so that I can inherit your massive wealth. I will buy an island to confine him so that we can enjoy ourselves there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis can\u2019t help but chuckle, \u201cYou are planning to use my wealth to pay off another man\u2019s daily expenses?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right! I am willing to do that!\u201d Chloe rolls her eyes at him before suddenly discovering Rich who is by his legs, \u201cDon\u2019t you always hate cats and dogs? Why are you rearing a puppy now?\u201d<\/p>\n
As she recalls the scene in the elevator, she laughs at his misfortune, \u201cYou always look good when you are acting cool and all that, but you look really embarrassed when you are sucking up to Lily!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want to have your acting jobs ceased?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love that idea, acting is really a tiring job.\u201d Chloe complains, \u201cYou can keep me hidden if you wish, anyway you\u2019re the one who\u2019s going to suffer losses!\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis pinches her cheeks hard as he refutes, \u201cIt\u2019s really a waste for me to take you in and raise you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe flings her arms around to stop him.<\/p>\n
The elevator doors open again, and Coffey who is wearing a grey workout attire appears into view. He\u2019s dangling an insulated bag, and he presses his lips into a line when he sees those two having fun with each other.<\/p>\n
Louis gets a glimpse of Coffey from the corner of his eyes as he says, \u201cThe person you plan to confine is here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chloe turns around and immediately dashes into his embrace after laying eyes on Coffey. She\u2019s hugging him so hard that he feels as if his bones are going to break, \u201cWhere have you been the past month? I thought you never want to see me anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis is not interested in watching their interaction, so he enters another elevator.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me, what happened? Don\u2019t look elsewhere now.\u201d Chloe snaps Coffey\u2019s head downwards to face her as she complains miserably, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you pick up any of my calls? Have you fallen for someone?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had some matters I needed to settle at school, so I was busy for a while. You should let me go now.\u201d Coffey wants to pry off her arms, but Chloe abruptly kisses him as she jumps off the floor and wraps her legs around his waist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2159","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2159","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=2159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
