Chapter 353: Louis, I Miss You Too
She quickly retracts her hand.
She can't see his expression in the dark. He takes out two tissues and gives them to her, saying, "It is
just a movie...."
"I know you're going to say 'real wars are crueler than movies', right?" Lily wipes her tears with the
tissues and says with discontent, "You used to say the same thing. Aren't you tired of it? Besides, I
can't help when I cry. I am not disturbing you. You keep watching."
John says, "I can't have you cry for me, let alone a movie. It's better you save your tears for me,
because it will be worth it."
Lily is so angry that she has trouble speaking. "Look at who is an expert in debating. I can't beat you."
"Am I wrong?"
"Yes, you are right." Lily grabs a handful of popcorn and stuffs it into his mouth, threatening, "Focus on
the movie. If you stop me from crying again, I'll put you to bed!"
John, who is gagged with popcorn, can't utter a sound.
Lily watches the movie while weeping silently. Tissues pile on the table. At the end of the movie, she is
sleepy and closes her eyes slowly.
Her head tilting, she leans on John's shoulder.
He turns off the projector. After adapting to the darkness, he carries her upstairs steadily and puts her
on her bed gently, turning on the bed lamp on the nightstand.
The warm yellow light shone on her face. She has lost a lot of weight these days helping him. Her chin
is sharp, and her eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes. She is sleeping soundly.
John sits on the bed and stares at her for a long time. He only sees her, as if nothing were around.
He reaches out his hand and carefully touches her cheek. He does not dare to make big movements,
as if afraid she will wake up. Then, he bends down and kisses her lips, reluctant to leave her.
"Good night, my princess."
'I wish you a good dream in the long night. I hope I am in it.'
...
The next day is hotter and sunny.
After breakfast, Lily works with John in the garden with some tools. John is building a greenhouse. She
reads the planting manual to make the right potions and digs up the dirt.
Lily was afraid John couldn't do dirty work because he was spoiled. To her surprise, John reads the
construction plan and quickly builds a greenhouse, which is quite strong.
Lily gives him a thumbs up and says, "I have to call you Mr. Almighty now!"
Planting Flower is tiring. It takes them a few hours to build the greenhouse. They rest for a while at
noon. Lily cooks pork belly soup and fine dishes. After dinner, they go back to work in the garden.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, green roses are finally planted in the warm greenhouse.
They have dirt on their hands and faces. They look at each other and crack up. After cleaning up, they
go shopping in the supermarket and malls.
Lily and John live in the "Green Ivy Garden" on Randulas Road now. They would go out for a jog in the
morning if it is sunny and read at home or play puzzle games together in the afternoon.
Occasionally, Lily will take him out for a stroll, try the cuisine of those fancy restaurants, and buy some
new clothes. However, John says the cuisine is not delicious, so they take turns cooking at home.
Lily doesn't forget to follow up the Ixora's research. She would text the blonde man called Bruce once
in a while for updates.
Time quickly passes. She and John have lived in the 'Green Ivy Garden' for half a month.
On this day, Lily still wakes up early. When she tries to take the milk from the refrigerator, she smells
something fishy and has stomachache. Then she runs to the sink and vomits.
However, it doesn't last long. She thinks it is because she hasn't eaten breakfast and does not give it
much thought. Then she quickly heats the milk and prepares breakfast.
Then her phone on the dining table rings.
She is busy and hurries to pick up the phone when she hears the ring, putting it beside her ear. "Mr.
Bruce, is there any progress on Ixora's research?"
She changes her number after coming to Country F. Apart from Coffey, Bruce also knows it.
There is only silence on the other end of the phone.
After a while, Lily feels something is wrong and looks at the number.
It is an unfamiliar number with Country F’s area code.
Her heart lurches.
Lily stops what she is doing and puts the phone next to her ear again, biting her lips without saying a
word.
The silence goes on.
After a long time, the man speaks first, his voice gravely as usual but a bit cold, "I can't understand why
you keep a long-haired pet if you hate it so much."
"I called Jessie. She said your cat was in your aunt’s house. I wanted to send Rich away but ended up
getting your cat back."
"Your cat is so fat, like a pig. Its food is the most expensive, and it drinks mineral water that costs as
much as other people’s meals. It looks docile but always fights with Rich. The floor is covered with fur."
Lily listens and laughs, her eyes a little sore. "Help it trim its nails. Rich’s thick skin can’t take it
anymore. They will stop fighting when they are close."
"I can't afford it. Your cat eats too much."
"I will pay you back as much as you want." Hearing his voice, she misses him even more and weeps.
She bites her lips to avoid crying out loud.
Louis sighs angrily. "Why did you choose to become a thief? You messed up my life and sneaked
away."
"I'm sorry."
"That is all you have to say?" Louis asks, "You ran away with another man. It's been so long since you
contacted me. How can I not be angry? I have to ask your brother for your new number and take care
of your cat. I'm afraid you won't come back and forget all we shared together. But all you have to say is
sorry?"
"I...." His concern, tolerance, and understanding silence her. Tears fall down her cheeks every time she
opens her mouth, so she has to cover it.
Of course, she also wants to say she misses him and dreams to kiss and hug him. She even misses
his smell, but she can't say it.
The man buckles and whispers, "Do you know I miss you very much? I can only drown myself in work
to get you out of my head. I'm afraid to come home without you in the house and feel heartaches."
Lily cries even harder.
She remembers what Justin says, "Louis doesn't say it, but he is always thinking about you. You are
the only one in his heart."
This man is of few words and wouldn't show his emotions. He only says "I miss you" when he
cherishes you and misses you too much.
Lily sniffs and chokes, "Louis, I miss you too."
After she finishes speaking, no one answers her. She can't even hear him breathe. Then she realizes
he has hung up.
She tries to call back, but the line is busy.
Lily taps the message app and types quickly. She doesn't want to hold back any longer and tells him
how she has missed him these days. She says when John takes the medicine and recovers, she will Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
immediately go back to him.
