Chapter 170: It's Not a Show
Chapter 170: It's Not a Show
"Say, President Lily is really loyal to the Smith Group. She has tried her best to take good care of Louis,
as if she was having a crush on him!" Ellison says.
Their sarcasms make Lily frown.
It seems that they are ganging up on her. Actually, however, it is about Louis. She doesn't want Louis to
be embarrassed. Just as she is about to say something, Antony pats her hand and says, "It's OK."
Lily purses her lips and doesn't speak.
"President Lily, your ex-mother-in-law has arrived. Aren't you going to say hello to her?" Ellison
continues. "It's a pity that Jason isn't here. If he were here, it would be interesting."
Katherine laughs. "President Lily seems to be still holding a grudge! That makes sense. After all, Jason
cheated you first, and your mother-in-law didn't take your side. If I were you, I would ignore her too."
"Enough! Stop." Olivia pretends to stop them.
"No offense." Katherine feels wronged. "I just feel that President Lily is really impressive. She'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."
At this time, Louis says indifferently, "Since you have so much to say, I'll give you the chance."
He asks a servant to bring over a high platform.
After the servant brings a one-meter-tall platform to the living room, Louis points at it and says, "Ellison,
Katherine, go up to the platform and keep talking. Let's have fun together."
Talking on the platform? What's the difference between that and a circus show?
Katherine does not expect Louis to do so. She says awkwardly, "No. I have a sore throat."
"Then bring a pot of tea to moisten your throat," Louis says in an oppressive voice, "Go."
Katherine looks at Olivia.
Before Olivia speaks, Louis says, "It takes more than two to make a show."
Olivia understands what he means by that. Her face darkens, but she says nothing.
She knows that Louis always keeps his words.
Olivia won't help. Antony also keeps out of it. Louis says again, "Go." Katherine and Ellison have no
choice but to go on the platform.
Louis looks at them and smiles, yet with cold eyes. "Keep talking. Be happy."
Stressed and nervous, they start talking. No matter what they talk about, they can't stop. They can
drink tea when they are thirsty. Three hours later, they finish chatting and step down from the platform.
Today, apart from Jason, Richard and his eldest son are also absent. Antony asks Louis and Lily to sit
on his left.
The servants pour wine for everyone in turn.
The wine smells good, but the wine cup is taken away and handed over to the servant by Louis
immediately.
"She can't drink."
But it isn't spirit but red wine. What Louis says catches everyone's attention.
Someone asks, "Is she pregnant?"
"Really?" Antony seems very surprised, as if he hadn't been to the villa that day. He adds happily,
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Good things come in pairs!"
People present different expressions.
Louis' action has clearly suggested that Lily is carrying his baby and they have gone steady.
"Really?" Although Katherine has been taught a lesson, she seems to have learned nothing from it.
She snorts, "I heard that she also faked a pregnancy when she was married with Jason just to take
revenge on him."
Then she looks at Janet and says, "Is that true?"
Janet wants to nod, but Louis' glare startles her. Her back gets sweaty. She laughs in embarrassment,
"They were just joking."
"Aren't you tired after speaking so long on the platform? Louis stays with Lily every day. You don't need
to worry so much," says Antony.
Katherine says, "I'm just worried that Louis would be cheated..."
"You mean Lily is not reliable?"
"Uncle, everyone knows she is. There's no need for me to make it clear," Katherine mutters. "By the
way, when I was pregnant, you weren't so happy like now."
Antony says directly, "We are a family. But you are only my niece. Lily is my daughter-in-law. Of course,
I am happy that she is pregnant!"
Everyone is shocked. "Uncle, are you crazy?" Katherine says in surprise. "She was Jason’s wife
before. How can she marry Louis?"
The family is upset about Antony delegating to Louis the power of head of the family because Louis
Everyone knows what will happen if Louis have a kid.
Olivia says calmly, "That's right. Antony. Louis has an engagement with Miss Stella. If you let him marry
Lily, what are you going to do with Miss Stella?"
"It's just an engagement, not a marriage." Antony waves his hand, "Louis will deal with it."
"Antony..."
"Enough!" Antony's face darkens. He says unhappily, "You all have your own family, and you have
children. My son is no longer a teenager. It's time to for him to get married!"
"Lily married Jason before, so what? Jason is just Louis' nominal uncle. You made a mess of your
marriage. But I never blamed you. My son is not married yet. How dare you object?"
Seeing that Antony is angry, Olivia quickly says with a smile, "Antony, we are just worried that Louis will Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
be unable to handle it properly. Miss Lily is smart and we all like her. We also welcome her visit."
The others also echo.
Finally, Antony is cheered up. "Alright, let's eat."
Lily hasn't expected such a "show" before the dinner. Antony has managed to defend Louis and her.
But...
She isn't pregnant!
Lily turns to Louis and whispers, "President Smith, can you tell your father the truth in private?"
"What truth?"
"You know what I'm talking about! If you don't explain, what if Master Smith asks why my belly doesn't
swell?" Lily glares at him and says through gritted teeth.
Louis smiles and says in a deep voice, "Come closer, and I'll tell you."
Lily looks at him suspiciously, but he seems honest, so she gets closer to him. However, he suddenly
kisses her in public.
Katherine is so shocked that she drops her chopsticks.
Antony is very happy. Then he coughs and says seriously, "It's dinner time. Mind your behavior!"
Louis lets go of Lily and says calmly, "She asked me to kiss her."
Lily pinches his waist.
Louis is no longer that cold man. Instead, he becomes a bad man who tells a lie!
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.
Since the Lotus Pond isn't far away from them, Lily decides to push Louis over.
Thinking about what happened during dinner, Lily is very annoyed. Along the way, she complains about
Louis, "President Smith, you've gone too far. You don't have to do that. It's just a show."
"It's not a show," Louis says.
What?
Lily stops and lowers her head. He is also looking at her with a deep gaze.
"Lily..."
Louis opens his mouth.
Lily seems to know what he is going to say and hurriedly interrupts him, "President Smith, I left my
phone in the house. Please go over by yourself. I'll go back and get my phone!"
