Chapter 212: Mr. Smith Wants to Help, But Is Rejected (1)
Jessie is very diligent, scrubbing and washing everything in the apartment. Even the floor is waxed and
the whole apartment looks brand new. Lily is not idle and goes to prepare breakfast.
After a while, Jessie comes running over again.
“Lily, where did you get this?” Jessie raises a stone in front of Lily and says excitedly, “It’s so beautiful,
can you give it to me?”
Lily sees that she is holding a stone.
The stone is naturally in a shape of a heart and pink in color; it looks as pure and delicate as lovers’ Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
promise.
She looks at the stone in a daze, “Jessie, where did you find it?”
“Your room.” Jessie says, “I wanted to help you tidy up the suitcase. As soon as I picked it up, this
stone fell out of it. Isn’t it a souvenir or something that you bought?”
Lily thinks about going to Hanchi and having a barbeque with John. She had heard the girl on the next
table say: If a couple finds a heart shaped stone in the Sea of Stray Birds, it proves that they will never
be separated.
John went to the Sea of Stray Birds to find the stone and then stuffed it in her suitcase?
Did he believe that story?
Thinking of him running around the Sea of Stray Birds and looking around the beach full of rocks to find
a heart-shaped stone, Lily’s heart fills up with complex feelings.
After the charity dinner, she couldn’t have the chance see John and so she couldn’t even return the
necklace to him.
Did he return to Country Y?
“Hey, Lily, I am talking to you!” Seeing that Lily is still lost in a daze, Jessie waves her hands in front of
her, “What are you thinking?”
Lily returns to her senses and smiles lightly, “It’s nothing.”
“Then give me this stone.” Jessie says while going to pick up the stone, “I don’t think you like it that
much.”
“This is someone else’s” Lily holds the stone in her palm. If it is an ordinary stone, it wouldn’t have
mattered, but it has a story, “When I meet him, I will return it.”
Jessie is surprised, “It’s just a stone. Do you want to return it?”
“This stone is different.”
“What is different about it?” Jessie asks curiously, “Can it turn into a handsome prince?”
“No.”
“Then tell me, what is different about it?”
Jessie is absolutely insisting on getting to the bottom of the matter. Lily can’t bear it so she lies that
when she came back from Hanchi she also brought a magical bracelet for bringing good luck, which
she will give to her.
Jessie is a little superstitious so she accepts immediately; Lily also doesn’t bring up the stone anymore.
As they are eating breakfast, Leigh comes. He has come to pick up Jessie for work. When he sees
breakfast laid out on the table, he frankly joins in and starts being too affectionate with Jessie.
Lily can’t bear to see it anymore; she wants to burn these two lovers.
She angrily says, “Refrain from PDA please!”
Originally, she thought that Leigh and Jessie were too different in personalities and would break up
after dating for a month at most. Who knew that they would date for this long and Leigh would always
be joining them for breakfast!
“If you don’t show affection, it means you are not happy!” Leigh chuckles, “Like David, he always
shares pictures of cats and dogs in his WeChat Moments. Why not find a girlfriend if he has that much
time?”
“Wow! Really?” Jessie is excited, “I didn’t expect David to have pets.”
“What’s so good about having pets? I would much rather have you!” Leigh kisses her unabashedly,
“Come on, baby, eat more of this scallop porridge.”
“I eat this every day; I am tired of it.”
“I’ll have someone make a plate of steamed soup dumplings for you. We will go to pick it up.”
“Also, one plate of shrimp dumplings.”
“Okay!”
The vein on Lily’s forehead is popping as she picks up the broom and drives the two clueless people
out of the house, “Get lost! I beg you! Go to work, and don’t come back tonight!”
“Oh! Sweetheart, your temper is too violent.” Leigh laughs mischievously as he dodges her, “You too
can call Louis here for breakfast. We don’t mind.”
Jessie pinches him angrily and says, “Don’t mention that scumbag Mr. Smith! You have such a wide
social circle; wouldn’t it be better to have a party and introduce Lily to a few men?”
Leigh sighs, there is something in his words as he says, “It depends on whether Lily likes it or not.”
Lily slams closed the door.
So annoying!
Soon, only Lily is left in the apartment. She cleans up the kitchen and makes herself a cup of coffee.
Her skills have been improved and the coffee she made is praiseworthy.
She uses her cellphone to check some of her important emails, the rest are to be resolved by the
company.
In the photograph, his exposed hand is covered in plaster and a very cute soft looking ragdoll kitten is
also on the photo.
Lily goes to chat with David and asks him what happened.
David writes back: [I went to the warehouse to find something, and then accidentally fell off the chair
and broke my arm.]
Lily: [Great job.]
David: [How is work in the new company? Do you still feel new and unfamiliar?]
Lily: [It’s going great. I took a leave today.]
David: [That’s good to hear. The little ragdolls in my home are on weaning now, there is only one left.
Would you like to raise it? Don’t you also like cats?]
Lily is a little moved.
She does like cats but she doesn’t like that they shed a lot and are a little cold and aloof.
Just as she is about to write “No, I am not good at raising pets”, David sends her several pictures in a
row. In the picture, the cute little ragdoll kitten is facing the camera, its blue eyes timid.
Lily: [send me your address, I’ll come right away!!]
Seeing Lily’s reply, David feels her urgency and is very satisfied. He sends a WeChat message to his
boss at the speed of light.
David: [Mr. Smith, there is some problem with the two documents that I submitted before. Please bring
them to my house.]
Louis sends him a machete emoji.
It is full of the intention of killing.
Louis: [Do you walk on your hands to the office? Why would I bring the documents to your house?]
David: [My hand is broken and I am in pain. If you are busy then forget it. In a little bit Miss Lily is
coming over to meet me. Maybe I will feel better after talking to her for a bit.]
After sending the message, David turns off his cellphone, pats his ragdoll kitten and sighs, “Where can
you find an employee like me who can do anything, even solve emotional crisis for his boss!”
“Meow!” The kitten flicks its tail and raises its head coldly, not letting David pat it.
David immediately feeds it some snacks, “Our Elizabeth is so good, and she gave birth to such a
beautiful kitten. When boss gets married, let’s fill our pockets with his money!”
Look, for the sake of his own boss, he even let his beloved ragdoll cat to give birth. He is too great.
--
The place where David lives is in an old street, hidden in the depths of the alley. It is one of those old
houses with its own yard. Lily spends a lot of efforts to find it.
David opens the door to welcome her, “Hi! Miss Lily.”
Lily points to the old house and asks, “You live here? Isn’t this place in the middle of demolition?”
“That’s not true. Don’t you like the vintage aesthetics?”
“…”
The outside of the old house looks shabby as if it will collapse at any moment. The interior, however, is
renovated by David. The two floors of the house are all in Moroccan style with beautiful large French
windows.
After arriving in the yard, Lily can’t move her eyes when she sees the ragdoll nestled on a stand
basking in the sun.
