Chapter307: What Did That Lady Buy?
: What Did That Lady Buy?
On the fifth day, a thin layer of scab form on Leigh’s wound. He can walk and run again, and is quite
energetic.
After the doctor ensures that Leigh is fine, Louis gets him discharged from the hospital.
It is New Year’s Eve the day he is discharged. Fine little snowflakes start falling since morning. A great
snow seems to be waiting.
After getting back to the hotel, Leigh rushes upstairs.
When Jessie opens the door, Leigh hugs her immediately and kisses her hard for several times,
“Darling, I missed you so much in these days. Why didn’t you visit me even once in the hospital?”
“Stop kissing me.’ Jessie mutters. Afraid to touch his wound, she pats his face, “Weren’t Mr. Daniel and
Mr. Smith taking turns to look after you?”
“I don’t want them!” Leigh says with sadness, “I waited for you every day. But you didn’t even answer
my call.” He puts her hand on his right chest, “Feel it. My heart is still hurting.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Jessie wants to withdraw her hand, but it is tightly pressed by Leigh.
Though his shirt is standing between, Jessie’s palm can feel the pounding of his heart.
Suddenly, sorrow rises in Jessie’s heart.
She doesn’t know where the sorrow comes from. But it makes her eyes tingle. She purses her lips and
doesn’t know what to say.
“Babe, what’s wrong?” Seeing her biting her lips and not saying a word, Leigh panics and hugs her, “I
am kidding. I am not angry with you at all. I know you didn’t go to the hospital because you were so
worried about me.”
“I am not worried about you at all.”
“Okay, okay. Then stop crying. Or everyone will think I mistreated you.”
Jessie hits him slightly and buries her head in his chest, “You did mistreat me. Why did you take the
bullet for me? Couldn’t you just leave me?”
“No. You are my girlfriend, no, my fiancée.” Leigh remembers that they have been engaged a long time
ago. But he is always calling her his girlfriend. How stupid.
He fondles Jessie’s hair and says seriously, “You are not only my fiancée, but also my baby. You are
very, very important. As a man, if I can’t protect my baby, I will be a failure.”
Jessie feels worse now.
She hates this feeling. She hates being sentimental.
She wants to tell him something now. Jessie takes a deep breath and raises her head to look at him,
“Leigh...”
Leigh raises his brows, “em?”
“I want to...” She purses her lips. Her throat is jammed by those words. She doesn’t know what to say.
Leigh lowers his head to kiss her and then says smiling, “I know. You want to celebrate Christmas with
me, right? It will be the first festival that we celebrate together!”
Before Jessie can say anything, Leigh says he is starving and drags her to the diner. They sit on a
table next to the window. Snow is falling outside.
Leigh keeps complaining about how awful it was to be in the hospital for five days. Only Daniel and
Louis kept him company. He was about to go moldy. Jessie just listens to him.
Later, others come to join them too.
Different from Leigh, Louis and Daniel share no interest in Christmas. But now that the girls like it, they
don’t mind keeping them company.
It is New Year’s Eve today, and it is bustling outside. After having dinner, Leigh proposes to go outside.
Louis looks at him, “Your wound is fine now?”
“It has been five days. It healed already!” Leigh is full of vigor and holds Jessie into his arms, “This is
the first festival that I share with Jessie. We must create some beautiful memory.”
Louis doesn’t want to respond to him.
After dinner, they prepare themselves and go out together.
It is also Saturday today, so there are many people on the street. Fine little snowflakes fall on the
ground and melt away quickly, making the ground wet and the air cold.
There are Christmas’ decorations in the shops along the street. The models of elk are hung to the door
frames.
The atmosphere of Christmas is everywhere.
Though Louis has arranged everything, he is afraid that Jonathan may plot against Lily again. So Louis
finds another excuse and follows Lily everywhere, which makes Lily at a loss about what to say.
“Ah, the scarf looks nice!”
When they are passing by an accessory shop, Lily sets her eyes on a light-gray scarf put on a model.
She drags Louis into the shop.
She asks the assistant to remove the scarf from the model and sorts it out before tipping on her toe to
put it on Louis. Then she walks away and checks him from a distance. She is content, “It matches well
with your coat!”
Lily brings the tag to the check-out cashier.
After paying for the scarf, Lily waives the receipt before Louis and smiles, “Mr. Smith has given me so
many gifts. I will give you a gift today. Merry Christmas!”
Louis glances at her, “Mrs. Louis is so smart. The gifts I gave you are worth more than an astronomical
figure. And you just give me a scarf worth 20000 yen?”
“It is a carefully-chosen scarf.” Lily corrects him, “The gifts from Mr. Smith are indeed invaluable. But
the money is not in my hand. However, I just literally paid 20000 yen for this scarf!”
Louis surrenders, “Fine. Whatever you say.”
Lily snorts.
After getting out of the accessory shop, the snow is getting bigger. A layer of thin snow is on the
ground.
Louis opens his coat and wraps Lily in.
“I am not cold.” Lily wants to get out from his coat, “I haven’t seen snow for a long time. Let me have a
look. If it is much snow, we may get to have a snowball fight later.”
“No. It’s easy to catch a cold in this weather.” Louis wraps the coat on her again like he is hugging a
child, “Listen to me now. When the snow gets bigger in the night, we will decide then.”
“So stingy!”
“If you are others’ girlfriend, I won’t care about you at all.”
Lily purses her lips and is slightly unhappy. Louis lowers his head to kiss on her, “Now that you have
given me a Christmas gift, I will instruct you on the Z City project after we get back.”
“Really?” Lily’s eyes brighten up, “After solving the matter with Director Carmen, I have been idle. Work
isn’t challenging anymore, and I even want to resign.”
Louis smiles, “You have an easy job and get paid. Still you don’t consider it good?”
“Maybe others can do it. But I can’t.” Lily holds Louis’ waist and says pretentiously, “I have to leave a
way out. If the Smith Group doesn’t want me anymore, I can still make a living.”
“Does Mrs. Louis mean that the Smith Group and me are both unreliable?”
“To be decide later ”
Two of them lean together and walk on the street talking and laughing. A long string of footprints is left
on the thin snow. After they cross the street, a man walks out from the corner.
With his hands in his pockets, the man whose black coat and hair are covered with a layer of thin snow
looks at the two figures in the distance and then opens the door of the accessory shop.
The assistant looks at the gentleman with a pair of blue eyes under the glasses. He seems to be a
foreigner.
She can’t speak English and wants to ask her colleague for help. But the man walks to her and asks in
Japanese, “The woman in black coat before. What did she buy?”
“Are you friends?”
John nods, “It is New Year’s Eve. I want to know what did she buy.”
The assistant is confused. The lady already bought a scarf and put in on her boyfriend. Why does this
gentleman still want to know what she bought.
