Chapter 166 Am I a Monster?
Chapter 166 Am I a Monster?
Lily is confused.
What did Leigh want to give to her? Why did he act so mysteriously?
Louis asks, “What’s wrong.”
“Nothing, it’s a notification of a junk mail.” Lily puts the phone into her pocket and pushes his
wheelchair, “There’re many people around the lake. Let’s come over.”
When they arrive at the artificial lake, Lily finds that dozens of middle-aged women are dancing along
with the music while beating the waist drum, which appears to be very festive and joyful.
Lily pushes Louis to a bench to have a rest, takes out an orange from her pocket and peels it.
“They are so energetic! I guess when I’m at their ages, I will not have such energy to have square
dancing.” As she is speaking, she puts a segment of orange into Louis’ mouth, “Take more orange. It’s
healthy.”
Louis peers at her.
Those middle-aged women are breaking out into sweats after a long time of dancing, but the smiles on
their faces are still bright. They take a break and some of them are now drinking water while some of
them are taking a rest.
One of them notices Lily and Louis who are sitting on the bench and waves at Lily, “Missy, come and
dance with us.”
“No, thanks.” Lily declines it with a wave of her hand and smiles at her, “Enjoy your time.”
“Come on, join us!” The middle-aged woman walks over and pulls Lily, “It’s very easy. It can help you
lose your weight and adjust your mood.”
What?
She’s in a good mood now. Is there a need for her to adjust her mood?
Lily feels that she has so many questions in her mind. The middle-aged woman pulls her to the center
of the square, fastens a small waist drum around her waist and turns on the music. Motivated by those
middle-aged women, Lily, who is still confused, starts to dance.
It’s really easy and she just needs to stomp her feet and wave her waist. They key is the rhythm of
beating the waist drum.
After being in a hurry scurry for a while, Lily finally grasps the rhythm, finds it interesting and begins to
enjoy it. Louis, who is sitting in shady and cool place, watches her dancing quietly.
Louis, who has never seen square dancing, can’t help but chuckle when seeing Lily’s exaggerated
movements.
This woman sometimes looks so cute.
Those middle-aged women change the music into an enthusiastic folk song after dancing for a while
and sing along with the music while waving their waists. Lily happens to know about this piece of song
and also sings with them.
Lily swings her waist for a while, and when she turns around, her gaze meets with Louis’. Louis is
staring at her smiling. Lily quickly turns around with a blushed and hot face.
God damn it. She must be very comical when she was dancing, right?
Lily manages to dance along with the latter half with the music and is breaking out into sweats. She
returns the waist drum to the middle-aged woman.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t be so polite. It’s a great pleasure to bring joy to you.” The middle-aged woman laughs and
elbows her, “Your husband just watched you dancing without even shifting his gaze and seemed to be
enjoying it. Little girl, you two are still so young and the most important thing in life is to be happy.
Believe it, life will become better and better.”
Lily knows that she gave her the advice after noticing that Louis is sitting on a wheelchair. She nods at
the middle-aged woman as a gesture to say goodbye and walks towards Louis.
Louis hands her a tissue, “You looked pretty when you were dancing.”
“Ahem… Ahem… Than… Thanks.” Lily coughs violently as she is clear how silly she was when she
was dancing. But after a few seconds, she finally realizes that Louis is praising her and stares at Louis
in confusion.
Something seems to be wrong.
Lily asks, “President Smith?”
Louis looks at her and raises an eyebrow, “What?”
“No… noting…” Lily feels extremely awkward. Louis has sobered up, which was the reason why she
felt that something was wrong. She was dancing on the square in front of him just now. It was really
awkward!
Lily doesn’t know how to chat with Louis any longer. She sees an ice cream cart which is not far away
and tells Louis that she wants to buy something, and then runs away in panic.
Louis stairs at her back and feels a bit confused, “Am I a monster?”
Why did she run away?
Lily walks over the ice cream cart and asks, “Mr., do you have mineral water?”
“Yeah.”
The ice cream is to icy and Lily doesn’t plan to buy it for Louis; instead, she buys him a bottle of mineral
water and buys herself an ice cream. When she is paying the bill, a little boy comes over.
Lily casually glances at him and finds his hat familiar, “Chandler?”
The little boy looks up with a mask on his face and his eyes lit up when he sees Lily, “Lily, what a
coincidence!”
He intends to take off the mask when he is greeting Lily.
“Oh, don’t remove it. Wear it!” Lily stops him and steals a glance at Louis, fearing that Louis would see
Chandler’s face.
“Okay,” says Chandler. But he then asks curiously, “But I have to remove my mask to eat the ice
cream.”
Lily, “…”
The two take the ice cream from the cart owner and then hide behind the car. Then Chandler takes off
his mask.
It turns out that Chandler is having outdoor exercise. When he passed by the artificial lake, he decided
to run along the lakeside for twice. But he hadn’t expected that he would meet Lily when he was buying Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
ice cream.
“Why are you having outdoor exercises frequently?” Lily asks, “Those are exercises for adults, I advise
you to do it properly. Otherwise, when you reach certain age, you will stop growing.”
“It doesn’t matter. I have outdoor exercise twice or third times a week.” Chandler replies and stands up
to show Lily his height, “See, Lily. I’ve grown taller.”
Lily measures his height with her eyes and finds it true.
She thinks of the height of Daniel and guesses that it must be because of the genre that Chandler
grows so fast.
The two talk about their daily life, but after a while, Lily thinks of the question that has been bothering
him and can’t help to ask the question, “Your surname is Scott. Is it your father’s surname, or your
mothers?”
“It’s my mother’s surname.” Chandler adds, “Mummy said when dad retires from the army, I will be
granted with my father’s surname.”
“Is Stella Scott your mom’s name?”
Chandler suddenly becomes vigilant and doesn’t reply.
Lily understands why he would react like this; after all, this is the second time when they meet and they
are no way acquaintances. She explains, “I have no ill intentions. I know about your mom and when I
saw you, I found that your eyes resemble hers.”
“Really?”
Lily nods and pulls him out of their shelter, and then points at Louis who is in the distance, “You must
have read newspapers in daily times. That person if the president of the Smith Group, and his relation
with your mom…”
“I know about it. He has engaged with my mummy.” Chandler interrupts Lily and stares at Louis for a
while, murmuring, “His appearance is inferior to my daddy’s.”
Lily thinks to herself, “But he’s your daddy’s bro!”
“Lily, do you like him?” Chandler suddenly shifts his gaze onto Lily and asks excitedly, “If you like him,
ask him to cancel the engagement with my mummy. If you need my help, just say it out.”
“I… Ahem… Ahem… Let’s stop this topic.” Lily doesn’t want to continue this topic and forcibly changes
the subject, “I know about some secrets. But they may not be good news for you. Do you want to know
about it?”
After knowing that Chandler is Daniel and Stella’s son, Lily got an idea of telling Chandler about this.
Otherwise, if Stella really marries Louis in the future, the relationship network among them would be
too sophisticated and embarrassing.
She doesn’t care about it if someone would blame her for being selfish.
Chandler is very curious and urges, “Lily, just say it directly. I’m good at adapting myself to everything.”
“Actually…” Lily opens her mouths and is about to tell Chandler the secret.
But Chandler’s phone suddenly rings.
He walks aside to answer the phone call. After a minute, he comes back and says excitedly, “Lily,
mummy came to one of my daddy’s friend to take the present sent by my daddy for me and she is now
on the way back. I have to come back.”
“Alright, goodbye.” Lily changes her mind and decides not to tell him about this, “Don’t tell your mom
about me, okay? Your mummy is trying hard to hide your identity, so please pretend that we are just
strangers.”
“I see!” Chandler nods vigorously and adds, “But deep in my heart, you are my friend. Lily, if you like
that uncle, you can just tell me, I’m willing to see him canceling the engagement with my mummy.”
Lily tries hard to hold back her laughter.
According to Louis and Daniel’s brotherhood, Chandler actually shall call Louis ‘Uncle’.
