Chapter 317
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 317<\/p>\n
Lily thinks for a while and asks Daisy, \u201cMom, you tell me what she meant. Was she just trying to emotionally manipulate me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Daisy glances at the peace symbol.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t look like it. She has been here a few times to buy wine and she seemed very nice.\u201d Daisy says as she locks the shop door, \u201cEven if she is your father\u2019s new wife\u2019s sister, she has no hatred towards you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily looks at her mother warily, \u201cMom, why are you siding with her? Did she ask you for any favors?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe really didn\u2019t tell you about Absalom?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe really didn\u2019t!\u201d Daisy scratches her eyes and says in a disgruntled tone, \u201cYou think about others in such an unbearable way! I don\u2019t know how to say\u2026 Oh! Forget it! Let\u2019s go shopping.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily doesn\u2019t drop the topic, she asks her curiously, \u201cHow to say what? Mom, what are you hiding from me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is your elder. Respect her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just said that you fall for people\u2019s words easily. When she comes over, just don\u2019t pay attention to her words.\u201d Lily also doesn\u2019t doubt her words, \u201cAfter all she is from the same family as Absalom. She must be on his side.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d Daisy waves her hand, \u201cDo you want to go to my place to eat lunch? If not then just go back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
After seeing so much in life, now she is getting rejected by her own mother?<\/p>\n
Taking the elevator with Daisy, Lily looks at the peace symbol.<\/p>\n
Her attitude just now was completely fine. She thinks.<\/p>\n
She also respectfully called her auntie.<\/p>\n
Like her mother says, when did she disrespect her elder?<\/p>\n
After returning home from grocery shopping, Daisy makes Lily clean out the boxes of grapes for wine. Daisy goes into the kitchen to make lunch after her busy schedule.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, just make something simple.\u201d Lily shouts towards the kitchen. She has not eaten anything since the morning so she is very hungry. She can eat whatever her mother makes right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou pick your grapes, don\u2019t talk too much!\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily, \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
After Lily finishes picking and cleaning four boxes of grapes, and also after helping her mother wash several large cans to be filled later with wine, Daisy finally says, \u201cCome eat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily washes her hands and runs to the table.<\/p>\n
The table is full of dishes – five dishes and one soup. The pot of meatball soup smells delicious, and there are also braised pig trotters!<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, no wonder you took so long to make dinner. You were making braised pig trotters.\u201d Lily greedily stretches her chopsticks towards the dish only to have her hand slapped away unceremoniously by Daisy.<\/p>\n
Daisy gives her a small bowl containing only two pig trotters, \u201cThis is yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t I eat from the platter?\u201d Lily looks at the big steaming platter and then at her small bowl. Her bowl just looks pitiful in comparison.<\/p>\n
Lily says solemnly, \u201cMom, the doctor said that I need to stay healthy, but he allowed me to eat pig trotters! You don\u2019t want to vacuum pack it and send it abroad for Coffey to eat, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to send it but I have to look at the postage fee and time!\u201d Daisy gave her a look, then brings over two lunch boxes and packs the soup and pig trotters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what are you\u2026?<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is for my son-in-law and that\u2026 that who works besides him\u2026\u201d Daisy can\u2019t remember the name for a while, \u201cThat burly-looking clerk\u2026 baby, what\u2019s his name?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid. He is Louis\u2019s special assistant, not a clerk.\u201d Lily replies and then realizes that something\u2019s wrong, \u201cYou made so much good food and it\u2019s all for them? What do I get?\u201d<\/p>\n
Daisy points on the table, \u201cEat the vegetables. You have gained weight, so lose it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 Mom, how could you?\u201d Lily is even lower than David in her mother\u2019s heart, \u201cAll this is too much, they must have ordered takeaway already. Mom, leave all this for me to eat!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just called them; they said they didn\u2019t eat yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
David complains, \u201cIt was President Smith who made me call you like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe asked you to call and you did? Didn\u2019t you use your own mind?\u201d Lily glares at him, \u201cLooking at how smart you usually are, I didn\u2019t expect you to be dumber than Leigh sometimes!\u201d<\/p>\n
Aggrieved, David wants to cry.<\/p>\n
Ugh!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s President Smith\u2019s fault, not his!<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mother asked me to bring you food and some of her self-brewed wine.\u201d Lily points to the lunch box and then turns around to talk to other people in the department.<\/p>\n
She speaks tactfully, saying that Louis doesn\u2019t like employees who disturbed him or gossiped. She intimidates everyone and convinces them to agree that they didn\u2019t hear anything today.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you everyone.\u201d She smiles and leaves satisfied, holding the other lunch box.<\/p>\n
As soon as she leaves, David is suddenly surrounded by people.<\/p>\n
Everyone starts to gossip, wanting to get some reliable information from David. There is even a secretary who wants to smell the food and open the lunch box.<\/p>\n
David slaps the secretary\u2019s hand away and says seriously, \u201cWhat are you doing during work hours? Are you forgetting what she said just now? Do you want to pack up your stuff and leave?\u201d<\/p>\n
The secretaries all scatter around quickly and go back to doing their work.<\/p>\n
David opens the lunch box, the fragrance of braised pig trotters in soy sauce diffuses into the air.<\/p>\n
The meal is so delicious that David almost cries. He thinks that he did good by working for Louis, at least he gets to eat his mother-in-law\u2019s cooking.<\/p>\n
It is so delicious!<\/p>\n
He secretly makes up his mind that no matter why Louis and Lily quarrels in the future, he will always stand on Lily\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
Victory is only on Lily\u2019s side!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2254","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2254","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=2254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
