Chapter 293: What I Need More Is Your Care
“It seems like we have a deep connection.” Louis smiles, “I was just about to go find you.”
Lily asks him, “Is Daniel okay?”
“Yeah.”
The two go down to the restaurant in the hotel. After finding a place to sit, Lily tells him that she met
John in the cruise ship’s ballroom yesterday and that he kissed her.
Hearing this, Louis’s face sank, “At that time I was wondering why there was a power outage in the
ballroom. Turns out that he was there and found someone to play along with his tricks.”
He doesn’t blame Lily for it.
The two of them have gone from quarreling to cold war to this now. He knows Lily’s personality. If she
really liked John, she would have told him clearly by now.
Louis says, “Did he tell you anything?”
Lily shakes her head, frowning slightly, “What would I ask him. He wrote it on my hand any way, didn’t This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
even open his mouth. He was is a weird state, I have never seen him like that.”
The cold kiss still makes her feel uncomfortable.
Louis says lightly, “I had his background checked. He has an older brother, step-parents, his brother’s
mother is from a noble family in Country Y. John’s mother is Asian.”
“His father Burnell married Yvette, but it was just a business marriage, there was no relationship
between them. Later at some party, he fell in love with John’s mother and brought her home.”
“I know this much. He told me this before but I haven’t seen his brother.” Lily says, “I think his brother’s
mother died of some illness which is why he hates John.”
“His brother’s mother did not die of an illness, she committed suicide.” Louis told her the real situation,
“Yvette couldn’t stand her husband bringing back another woman, ignoring her. She suffered from
depression and killed herself by slitting her wrists.”
“What? How… How is that…” Lily can’t believe it, “Was John the one who cheated on her? How is that
his fault?”
Louis hummed in agreement, “After she committed suicide, her father was very angry. He blamed
Burnell for not taking care of his daughter and wanted to get revenge, but the Krislier family was very
strong and he couldn’t fight against them, so he found someone to kidnap John’s mother and had her
killed, making it look like a traffic accident.”
“And then?”
“Of course, Burnell didn’t believe that it was a car accident. But for the sake of his sons and the two
families, he didn’t say anything. He never married again and focused on raising his sons.”
“Burnell loved John’s mother so he preferred John more, which made his brother feel aggrieved. After
he found out that his mother committed suicide, he began to hate John, wanting to kill him.”
After listening to the whole story, Lily feels painful for John in her heart, “Burnell just wanted to give his
son a nice childhood, told him many things after beautifying them. Does John knows these things that
you are telling me now?”
“Probably since a long time ago.” Louis took a sip of the hot tea, “His brother was quite ruthless though,
he insisted on telling John everything and then tried to take his revenge. He is a very extreme person, if
he wasn’t afraid of being kicked out by Burnell and removed from being the heir, he would have killed
John long ago.”
“What is his brother’s name?”
“Seles • Krislier.”
[Previous Review: John Dawn’s another name is Colbert • Krislier.]
The name reminds Lily of something but she can’t put her finger on what it was, “Does he have a
Chinese name?”
“I don’t think so.”
Louis cautions Lily, his expressions serious, “No matter what he wants and what his goal is, don’t pay
attention to him and don’t try to contact him. This is John’s private matter, none of our business.”
“But…” Lily tries to say something. These things make her heart hurt and fills her with curiosity, but she
can’t say anything about things that are not even confirmed to be completely true.
Will she be able to accept the truth that is revealed when she goes to lift up the cloth of unknown
covering it?
Will Louis be able to accept it?
Louis pushed his chair back and beckoned her with a gentle tone, “Come here.”
“Come over here.” He repeats. Lily is not used to his gentleness. She is not a woman who likes to act
cute and spoiled, but she still gets up and walks to him slowly.
Louis pulls her on his lap and hugs her tightly.
Lily blushes and curses him in a low voice, “Where are your etiquettes? This is a restaurant and I don’t
want to be humiliated.”
“We are sitting in a corner with plants blocking us from view. Don’t worry, you won’t be humiliated.”
Louis smiles, “I don’t like seeing my wife being so sad, it makes me want to hug you.”
“Louis.” She hugs him closer, burying her head in his shoulder.
“Hmm?”
She whispers, “John may be out of line many times, he may use unfair means, but he has never done
anything to hurt me ever. Even him going to jail was a little strange to me. If something happens to him,
I hope you can help him.”
Louis raises his eyebrows, “You must be the first person who is asking her fiancé to help her ex-
boyfriend.”
“Just return the favor, will you?” Lily rubs his neck, making him forget everything, “He helped me a lot
when I was abroad for studying, helping me increase my social network and all.”
“If Mrs. Smith is saying so, how can I refuse?” Louis smiles, his eyes full of indulgence, “As long as you
are not involved in it, I will help him.”
Lily kisses him, “Thank you Mr. Smith.”
“Thank you for accepting it, but I have another question for you, and you must answer honestly.”
“What is it?”
“That kid Chandler, he’s not your friend’s son, right?”
“Why… Why are you suddenly asking me that?” Lily asks dryly, not meeting his eyes.
“Look! You are not looking me straight in my eyes, you are lying.” Louis holds her chin in his thumb and
forefinger and thumb, raising her face up, “If you don’t want to answer, then I will answer it for you. He’s
Daniels’s son, right?”
Lily looks at him stumped, “How did you guess that?”
She quickly closes her mouth, realizing what she just said.
Louis pinches her chin and sighs, “I hope our children don’t get their IQ from you.”
“My IQ is high, okay. I know so many languages.” Lily murmurs, dissatisfied, “Even if they don’t et my
IQ, they will get my beauty.”
“You think you are beautiful?”
Lily hits him on his shoulder, her expressions sullen, “Louis, do you want to break up?”
“Okay fine, you are the most beautiful, no one can ever compare.” Louis grabs her hand and kisses her
on the lips, “I saw the pictures of sister-in-law and saw that her eyes are exactly the same as Chandler.
Plus, you always walk around with her and send Chandler gifts. After thinking about it for a bit, I
understood.”
“Science students are really different. They have strong memory and they don’t let any clue pass them
by.” Lily says emotionally, “You should have gone to crime investigation team. What a waste of talent!”
“If I went there, then I wouldn’t have met you.” Louis smiles, “I am glad that I didn’t go to solve crime.”
Lily rolls her eyes at him, “Shut up! Have you told Daniel about Chandler?”
“No. I don’t think we should be the ones who tell him. Stella should tell him herself.” Louis says, “A son
without even marrying. Daniel’s life is pretty exciting too.”
“It should be. He is thirty-three now.”
“I am also not so young.” Louis looks at her seriously, “Should you not care about me more?”
Lily can’t stand his gaze and covers her eyes with her hands, “Don’t look at me like that, it makes me
the bad person here. Wait for a bit… let me make some more money first.”
“…”
Even all his money is not as attractive to her as the small amount of money that she wants to earn on
her own.
It’s frustrating.
