Chapter 316: This Relationship Is Too Messy
Chapter 316: This Relationship Is Too Messy
When Lily wakes up, it’s already half past seven.
It has stopped snowing.
The snow on the road is already swept away by workers and the driver is waiting for them. They drive
unimpeded all the way and arrive at the hotel in half an hour.
After entering the hotel, Lily sees Daniel and Stella waiting in the lobby.
Stella comes over as soon as she sees Lily, grabs her hand and asks in a low voice, “Look at your dark
circles, didn’t you sleep well?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Then they all take the elevator to the top floor of the hotel. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Daniel tells them that they were going to have to wait to go to the airport, which was too troublesome.
So, he directly called the private plane here and explained it to the air traffic control there. He has
already arranged everything properly without any problem.
The private plane quickly takes off from the rooftop of the hotel.
Lily is again in Louis’s arms, leaning on his broad shoulder, looking at the gradually disappearing hotel
outside. She asks him in a low voice, “Will Leigh be alright?”
“Yes, he will just be sad and heartbroken for a while.” Louis comforts her, “Don’t worry, sleep for some
time.”
Lily hums in response.
She thinks about the relationship between Leigh and Jessie and the grievances between the two
families. She can’t help but sigh heavily.
Obviously the two like each other a lot.
Ugh!
At eleven o’clock in the morning, the private plane lands at Yorkshire Airport.
Louis receives a message from Leigh, saying that his father’s body has been prepared and will be
buried tomorrow. They can all rest tomorrow and can just go to the funeral tomorrow.
“He doesn’t want us to bother him right now.” Louis tells everyone about the message, “Daniel, then
Lily and I will go back to the company first and deal with some matters. Let’s all go to the cemetery
tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.” Daniel says and leaves with Stella.
Lily wants to accompany Louis to the company, but Louis tells her that she needs rest and ask her to
go back to the apartment.
But she feels fine when gets home and goes to Daisy’s shop.
The side dishes that Daisy makes are delicious and the wine she brews is sweet. Soon after she
opened the store first, the word quickly spread and now there are always long lines at the door of the
shop.
When she gets there, she finds that her side dishes and wine are almost sold out and she is cleaning
the shop. Because she is now very busy, she has hired a lady of same age to help in the shop.
She is very surprised to see Lily, “You already came back from the trip with my son-in-law?”
“Mom, your mood changes so fast!” Lily says, pouring water for herself, “Before when he came to meet
you, you didn’t even respond to him. Now you are calling him your son-in-law.”
Daisy answers, “You like him so much, I can’t break you apart, can I? Besides, he is really talented. I
did what he recommended, the business has improved a lot and I make a lot of money these days.”
Lily chuckles.
She can’t believe how quickly her mother’s mind has changed.
After cleaning up the shop, Daisy sends the helping lady back early and decided to leave with Lily to
buy vegetables, wanting to go back home and cook.
As the two are about to leave, a woman approach.
Lily recognizes her immediately, her face darkens. She immediately steps in front of Daisy, hiding her
behind her and asks in a nonchalant tone, “Madame, what are you doing here?”
Yuna also sees her, her eyes are a little moist, “I came here to buy things.”
“Everything is sold out!” Lily says bluntly, fearing that Daisy will become soft-hearted if she sees her
wait. She tries to drag Daisy away.
Daisy does not leave, saying, “This is my customer, I will get her some wine.”
She asks Yuna to wait, opens the door and goes in to get the wine.
Lily is dumbfounded and immediately follows her mother, whispering, “Mom, don’t you know who she
is?”
“I know… she is my customer; she has been here a few times before too.” Daisy misses her point, “She
is also your elder, you were too rude just now.”
Lily takes a deep breath and then tells her mother, “Didn’t Absalom marry again in Japan? He married
the woman from a powerful family who owns a group? This woman is that group’s boss’s sister.”
“What?”
Daisy is shocked and the bottle almost slips out of her hand.
Lily hurriedly takes the bottle from her and says with ugly expressions, “After I sent Absalom to prison,
she came to me once and wanted me to withdraw the accusation against Absalom but I didn’t agree.”
“I don’t think she came here to buy things. I think she came here because she knew you are soft-
hearted. She must have wanted to become friendly with you and then ask you to persuade me to drop
the accusation against Absalom.”
Daisy stands in her place unmoving.
Before, Yuna also came to see her, saying that she was Louis’s mother and that her child has been
separated from her for so many years. Now, Lily is telling her that Yuna is also the sister-in-law of her
ex-husband.
“Oh! I am dizzy now.” Daisy holds her forehead, she can’t digest so much information, “I thought she
was… this relationship is too messy.”
Lily says, “Mom, you know she is the sister-in-law of Absalom, how is it complicated.”
“She… She…” Daisy points towards the door, wanting to say that this woman is also Louis’s mother,
but she can’t say it out loud, “She is still very nice.”
“She’s nice or not, you found it out in just a few days of meeting her?” Lily is still in a bad mood.
After coming out, Lily hands the wine to Yuna and says, “Madame! I will not withdraw the accusation
against Absalom. Please don’t harass my mother otherwise I will not stay polite.”
Yuns accepts the wine from her and looks at her deeply before nodding, “I didn’t think about it. This
store’s wine is really delicious so I just buy it often.”
Lily looks at her uneasily.
It’s strange, why is this lady looking emotionally at her with expressions of a mother?
Yuna is also not in any hurry to leave. She asks Lily softly, “I heard that you are dating Louis Smith of
the Smith family. Do you have any plans to get married?”
“That is my personal matter and I am not comfortable disclosing it with outsiders.”
Yuna’s eyes darkens and she looks lonely. But soon, she smiles again, takes out a small red symbol of
peace from her bag and gives it to Lily.
“If you don’t mind, keep this.” Yuna pleads, “I specially got it from a famous temple in Japan; it protects
people’s health and keeps them safe. I want to apologize to you for what happened before.”
Lily replies faintly, “Absalom owes me a lot, it has nothing to do with you.”
She wanted to keep her attitude cold, but seeing Yuna offer the talisman of peace so humbly, she
becomes soft and accepts it.
Yuna also shows a gentle smile, bowing with her hands clasped together, “Thank you… You are smart
and beautiful and suit with Mr. Smith. I hope you can live happily with him.”
Lily purses her red lips, “Thank you.”
“How about I invite you to dinner…” Before Yuna can finish her sentence, her phone rings in her
handbag.
She takes a look at it, her face changing immediately. She smiles at Lily, her voice still soft, “I have
something to deal with so I will leave now. Your mother’s wine is really delicious.”
Saying that, she leaves in a hurry.
Lily looks at her back until she disappears and then she looks down at the peace symbol in her hand.
She still thinks Yuna’s behavior is strange.
Daisy comes over and asks, “What were you both talking about?”
“Nothing much. She said that I suited Louis and wished us happiness.” Lily shows the peace symbol to
Daisy, “She also gave me this peace talisman, saying that she got it from a very spiritual temple in
Japan.”
