Chapter 412: I'm Your Future Husband
Chapter 412: I'm Your Future Husband
By the time the ingredients are delivered, Lily has already baked some French bread and biscuits in the
shape of animals.
She brings them to the living room for Chloe. Then she goes to the door to check the ingredients.
There are three large bags. Just as she is about to carry them to the kitchen, a hand appears and
accidentally touches the back of her hand.
"I'll do it."
While Lily is still in a daze, Louis has already picked up the bags and turns around to the kitchen.
She looks at her hand, as if there is still the residual temperature from his fingers. She thinks in mind:
Just now after he helped her, he quickly stepped away. Now he touches her and directly leaves.
She smiles coldly.
Louis takes out all the ingredients in the bags and sorts them out. He catches a glimpse of Lily coming
in and says, "What are you going to do? I'll wash and cut them for you."
"Chloe wants to eat fish porridge. Take out the fish and kill it. Wash some lean meat and celery, and a
handful of spinach." Lily instructs and looks back at him, "If you don't dare to kill a fish, just tell me."
Louis detects a note of sarcasm in her voice and he gets sure that she dislikes him.
He frowns and turns to Lily and supports the counter with one hand. He could only vaguely smell the
faint fragrance of Campanula above Lily's head.
"Ms. Lily, what have I ever done to deserve that? Louis says in a low voice, "Just now as you were
about to fall, I even helped you. Why are you talking to me in such attitude?"
Lily gets angry when she hears this, "Am I? Mr. Smith, you never did domestic chores before, so I'm
afraid you can't make it."
"Can you talk to me in normal tone?"
"Sure!" Lily looks back at him frankly, "Am I not speaking like that? Also, please say sorry if you
accidentally touch someone."
Louis gets a little annoyed. "I just helped you, and you didn't say 'Thank you' to me."
Lily soon argues. "I nearly fell because you were in the way. You're responsible for your actions so you
should help me! I didn't ask you to carry the bags for me and you didn't apologize for touching me. Am I
right to say you did wrong?"
"..."
Louis hasn't seen her for months and he doesn't imagine that she is getting more and more eloquent.
It's a pity that she doesn't join a debate team!
Louis wears a faint smile.
He takes a step back and gives in, "Alright, whatever you say is right. Don't call me Mr. Smith, okay?
It's too formal."
"Mr. Smith, I call you this because I respect you and want to keep our communication impersonal." Lily
keeps working and answers him, "Besides, I will remember the difference between us in this way."
Louis frowns again. He finally understands why men shouldn't try to quarrel with women.
Because men will never win.
In the debate, women can always say more than men and men will choke on their words.
"Please step aside." Lily pushes him impolitely, "If you don't help, go out. Don't stand in the way! It will
take less time if I cook alone..."
As Lily is still speaking, Louis suddenly grabs her chin and kisses her deeply. All the noise dies in the
kiss.
Louis thinks it's much quieter when she doesn't speak.
When Chloe comes to get herself a cup of water, she is dumbfounded by what she has seen. She
almost couldn't hold the cup. "Sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't see anything. You can continue!"
She notices that her cup is still empty, so she comes back again to fill the cup with soda. At the same
time, she sneaks a look at them.
Lily is very embarrassed. She pinches Louis on the waist and pushes him away angrily.
Lily takes a few steps back, looks up at the man and a faint blush comes to her cheeks, "How could
you be so shameless? I'm going to sue you!"
"Then I want to see which lawyer dares to defend for you." Louis slowly rolls up his sleeves, revealing
his sturdy arms. "I think no one will help you unless he doesn't want to be a lawyer anymore."
Lily turns around angrily and says, "You're so unreasonable!"
Louis notices that she is going to handle the meat, so he hands her a knife. "From now on, call me
Louis. Once you call me Mr. Smith, I'll kiss you right away."
"How could you!"
Louis questions her retort.
Louis approaches her step by step. Lily feels like he is about to kiss her again, so she hurriedly retreats
and gives in, "Fine. Are you going to help me or not?"
Louis raises his eyebrows and he is very satisfied with her answer, so he goes to deal with the fish
unhurriedly.
Chloe has been secretly watching them in the living room. Since they cooperate naturally in the
kitchen, she wonders if it's possible to see them back together.
At this time, the phone on the table vibrates.
It's Lily's phone.
Before Chloe takes the phone to Lily, she sees the caller ID, saying "Coffey". It reminds her that Lily
once asked her if she missed Coffey and she gets a little curious about the name.
She secretly glances at them and finds that they are busy cooking, so she answers the phone.
"Lily, are you at home now?" The moment the call is connected, a clean and steady male voice is heard
by Chloe.
She feels a bit heartbroken to hear the familiar voice.
Before Chloe could say anything, the young man continues, "I have to go to Country XL on business
for a long time. Tell Mom about this. And take good care of Chloe for me."
"Lily, do you hear me?"
"Lily is cooking in the kitchen." Chloe says, "Who are you?"
The man gets silent.
Chloe is a little awkward by the long silence. She then asks, "Shall I give the phone to Lily?"
"No." Coffey stops her and asks, "Is she in your apartment?"
"Yeah, Lily bought a lot of ingredients and she is cooking for me." Chloe replies and feels strange. She
doesn't know him, but why does she feel like she has known him for a long time?
Coffey says, "Then you should enjoy the meal."
"Of course, Lily makes delicious food. But..." Chloe pauses for a moment and asks curiously, "Why do
you say that? Do you know me?"
"Yes."
Chloe is puzzled, "But I don't know you. I don't even know what you look like."
"It doesn't matter. It's not too late for us to get to know each other now." The young man says in a
tender and affectionate tone. "I am your future husband, and I will be with you forever."
"..."
"Time's over. I have to hang up. Remember to enjoy your meal and wait for me."
Before Chloe could react, the phone has been already hung up.
Chloe is surprised and stares at the phone. "My future husband? Such a weird man. Why will he be my
husband?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
However, when she heard he was saying that just now, she was not hating it and she even trusted him
well.
Chloe wants to ask Lily, but just as she is about to enter the kitchen, she sees Lily quarreling with
Louis, "Why do you keep the gills? Do you want to eat?"
"This is the first time I've killed a fish. How can I know its gills should be removed?"
"Can't you ask me?"
"I asked you just now and you told me to search online. But I'm not taught to do so."
"..."
Chloe decides not to disturb them, lest they take it out on her.
As she walks towards the living room, she thinks about that phone call.
Who the hell is he?
