Chapter 349: He Feels Pain, Love and Hate
Lily says coyly, “Mom, I know you are the best and you love me the most.”
“Give me a break! I don’t care about you.” Daisy says, “I am just afraid because no one likes second
marriages, everything including me will be gossiped about. That’s why I am meeting any of your
requirements. I don’t have the energy to make one for Joey.”
“Mom, can you stop calling it my second marriage…”
“It’s true.”
Lily seems to be unable to compete with her mother. Later, she stops talking and helps her mother with
chores for a while. After a long time, Louis sees her appear in front of the camera again.
Lily sees that the video is still being recorded and blushes, “Oh my God! I forgot to turn it off. Is my
conversation with Mom all recorded in it?”
“No, oh no! I’ll have to edit that part so Louis can’t see it.” She mutters just as Daisy’s voice comes
calling her to eat. She answers her and then the video stops.
Louis sits on the sofa and stares at the DSLR in his hand. He doesn’t speak for a long time.
The forty-minute video plays in his head again and again. Lily’s appearance and her words makes him
feel warm, angry and distressed all at the same time.
If she loves him so much then why does she always stand on John’s side when something happens?
Just because John is a weak person who has nothing?
Then what does he have?
Thinking about the phone call that day when she cried for John and decided to stay in country F and
didn’t want Louis any longer. Louis hates her. His eyes gradually become cold and hard.
He turns off the DSLR and throws it on the coffee table, then he gets up to go upstairs.
Seeing him get up, the puppy also gets up quickly and follows him. Louis just glances at it once and
then continues to walk.
Like this, Louis and the puppy go up to the second floor.
Louis takes his night gown and goes to take a shower. When he comes out, he finds the puppy lying in
the carpet. He wants to drive it out, but after hesitating for a bit he just steps past it.
He is already going to give it away soon. He might as well just let it stay where it wants to and then
clean the place when time comes.
He dries his hair with a towel. As he is about to go back to bed, he sees a light gray scarf on the bed. It
was the scarf that Lily gave to him when they went to country R. He can’t help but freeze in his spot.
Didn’t he put it in the closet? How is it on the bed?
Louis stares at the scarf with complicated expressions. He picks it up, only to find that there is a dark
blue Hermes silk scarf under it. It is Lily’s.
Louis stares at it quietly.
Then he turns his head to look at the puppy lying on the carpet. It looks back at him with innocent eyes
and wagging its tail. The corner of Louis’s mouth twitches, “Are you challenging my temper?”
The puppy barks at him twice as if saying that it is not afraid.
Louis ignores it. He throws the scarfs on the night stand and begins to deal with his work. After an hour,
he raises his head from his phone.
He looks at the time, it is almost midnight. The coming year will begin in ten minutes.
However, nothing will change in the coming year.
About to go to bed, he reaches over to turn on the lamp when his hand accidentally grazes against the
blue silk scarf. He hesitates for a moment then finally holds the scarf in his hand.
Lily had put a lot of things at his place before. After breaking up, she took everything away except NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Louis. Now, the puppy has pulled out the scarf from God knows where.
Whenever Lily wore a one shoulder long dress or a low-neck shirt, she used to wrap the scarf around
her neck. The dark silk against her white skin never made her look old, on the contrary, it made her
look more charming. He reminisces.
At the company, in meetings or when he would walk past the R Department, he would see her wearing
this silk scarf. She would always look very charming wearing it and speaking with confidence.
This scarf was once used to tie around his eyes. Even if he couldn’t see then, he could still feel her
warm skin on his fingers and the faint fragrance that reminded him of wind chimes.
What brand of perfume was that? Miu Miu or Bvlgari?
Louis thinks as he smells the scarf. It still smells like her fragrance; like sweet sounding wind chimes.
He wants to know the brand. He must buy it and make the manufacture stop manufacturing it anymore
so that she can’t buy it again so then he won’t think of her when he smells that perfume.
Thinking of her, he feels pain, love and hate!
As soon as he closes his eyes, he thinks of her lazily nestled in his arms. He doesn’t know from where
such habits came but she always liked to play with his Adam’s apple, looking innocent.
His heart is full of hate, but when he thinks of her being alone in country F, he can’t help feeling
distressed. After suffering for a while, he reaches for his phone.
The call is connected quickly and Justin’s voice comes, “Louis, I heard David say that you didn’t go to
the Smith mansion for New Year’s Eve dinner tonight. Should me and Leigh come over to keep you
company?”
Louis hums, “No, I have already eaten. I have something else to ask you.”
“About Miss Lily?”
“Why do you think so?” Seeing him guess so quickly, Louis raises his eyebrows, “You haven’t even met
me during this time. How do you know what is in my heart?”
Justin says, “Louis, you keep very calm even if you are angry. You should spend some quality alone
time and let your mood adjust before contacting us. I asked David, he said that you have been very
busy these days. I knew you wanted to focus on work so you don’t think about Lily.”
“And, you may not have noticed, but Lily has a very important position in your heart and has been
affecting you. You have been emotionally confused several times because of her.”
His analysis silences Louis.
He asks himself in his heart. Is that true? Is Lily really that important to him? Thinking about it, it feels
true. Otherwise, he would not think about her like this after breaking up.
He stretches out his hand, rubs his eyebrows and then says in a deep voice, “John has been poisoned
and his condition is very serious. Whether he can live for a year or not is still a question. Lily took him
to country F.”
Justin is a little uneasy, “And she broke up with you because of this?”
“Yeah.”
“I think Lily knows something, that’s why she has a soft spot for John.” Justin analyzes, “But she loves
you, we all have seen it in her eyes.”
“We said we would face all the problems together.”
Justin asks her back, “Louis, have you ever thought about her feelings? She knows your relationship
with John, she must be very uncomfortable in her heart. one is her ex-boyfriend and one is her fiancé.
She is not a cold-blooded animal; she can’t watch you start against John. By the way, I am very curious
how my aunt went to the Smith mansion.”
“I asked Dad. He said that he received an anonymous letter and connected to Yuna through a phone
call.” He remembers asking Antony a long time ago about Yuna’s arrival at the Smith mansion.
“Did you ask Leigh to check it?”
Louis narrows his eyes and says coldly, “No need to check, Jonathan sent it. He wanted me to know
the truth and to kill John.”
“He is really vicious.” Justin says, “If he wants to kill John, he can find so many ways. Why pull you in
the mess? Does he think Asia is also his territory?”
