Chapter 454: I Was Keeping an Eye for You
She remembers the perfume that Sofia wore. It smells like incense, and she doesn't like it.
"That smell is pungent," Louis says.
He realizes that the only thing he can smell now is the fragrance of fruit and woods on the test paper.
It's been a long time since he last smelled the faint fragrance of Campanula.
The man tries to ask in a casual voice, "You are not wearing perfume today?"
"Yes, I haven't worn perfume for a long time." Taking a few sips of black tea, Lily replies, "The perfume I
was wearing was shattered by Lucky. I asked the official website, and they said that it went out of
production. So, I can't buy it."
She mutters, "That perfume was selling well in Asia. It's a mystery why they stop producing it. I've used
it for several years, and I miss the fragrance."
Hearing this, Louis feels that his heart is pounding.
He remembers that he has mentioned the perfume to David....
"Why do you ask about it?" Lily looks up at him, "Do you like the smell?"
"Yes. It is a pleasant, faint smell." Louis doesn't deny it, but he makes up a reason, "It would be a good
gift to a female customer. I didn't expect it to go out of production."
Lily stops being nervous. She just feels disappointed.
'It turns out that I think too much. He just wants to send the perfumes to female customers as gifts.'
"Let's go." Louis stands up, picking up his coat from his chair.
Lily puts the things in her bag. Just as she's going to foot the bill, she notices that the bill is missing.
Then, she sees Louis at the front desk with the bill.
She walks towards Louis, "It's on me. I ate the food."
Putting his card back to his purse, Louis says, "I've taken care of it. You've waited for me for so long."
"You were too absorbed. I was afraid that someone would take photos of you and put them online," Lily
says bluntly, "HS Company and I may get trouble because of your popularity. So, I was keeping an eye
for you."
Louis’ face darkens, and he doesn't know what to say.
Lily thinks that they are going back to their rooms. Instead, Louis is walking out of the homestay family.
The man says, "You ate a lot today. You should take a walk."
"I don't want to walk." Hearing this, Lily turns around.
Louis pinches the back of his neck. She's forced to turn around again and follow him.
"You have to," Louis orders. "You ate too much on the plane. When you were asleep, I saw your belly
swelling."
Lily's face turns pale.
'Is it that obvious? He can see it?'
Seeing her pale face, Louis asks with concern, "Are you okay? Eating too much and feeling ill?"
"You pinched me. It hurts!" Lily frowns on purpose and mutters, "I can take a walk. Look at you.
Squeeze my neck so hard."
Seeing her red neck, the man feels sorry, 'I do pinch her with too much strength.'
"I'll buy you some ointment."
Lily says in an unhappy tone, "Never mind. Leave it alone. I hope you won't pinch people like that."
Louis feels upset, turning his head to see the scenery.
While she was sleeping soundly on the plane, Louis noticed that her belly was round. Thinking that she
had never stopped eating, Louis was afraid that she would get sick. So, he wants to take her for a walk.
The family of Willow is located in a suburb, which is also a scenic spot.
Walking a few hundred meters out of the homestay family, they get to a street where people can buy
snacks and souvenirs.
There're all kinds of shops with design features of City L. It's low season, so there are only a few
people in the street, which is as beautiful as a painting.
Lily and Louis walk slowly down the street, enjoying the breeze.
When seeing an interesting shop, Lily goes in and takes a look.
She picks out a pair of hand-made daisy earrings, intending to buy them. So, she takes out her phone.
The shopkeeper says, "Cash only."
"Then why are you sticking a QR code on the counter? For decoration?" Lily points at the QR code on
the glass counter.
"We only accept cash for accessories. If you are buying other things, you can scan the code."
Lily is speechless.
'Cash for accessories and the code for other things? Is it necessary?'
But there's no cash in her bag.
Lily turns around and asks the man beside him, "Do you have any cash?"
"No." When Louis sees her eager eyes, his heart softens, "I'll go exchange some."
Then he goes out.
Looking at his back, Lily feels happy.
While waiting for Louis, she watches the other items in the glass counter.
Not long after, a young couple enters the shop, picking the handmade accessories.
The girl's eyes gleam when she sees the earrings in Lily's hand, "Sir, do you still have these earrings?"
"It's hand-made, so it's the only pair."
"What a pity," The girl mutters and then pleads with Lily, "Miss, why don't you pick another one and sell
this one to me at a higher price?"
Before Lily can say anything, the shopkeeper says, "The young lady hasn't bought it yet. If you want it,
you can have it by paying double!"
"Sir, it's not appropriate, is it?" Lily's face darkens as she tries to suppress her anger and reason with
the shopkeeper, "I said I wanted the earrings, and my friend are exchanging cash."
"But you haven't paid!" The shopkeeper says, "So, it's still mine. I can make the call." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"..."
When the girl learns that Lily hasn't bought it, she asks the shopkeeper how much it is.
Even if the shopkeeper tells her that the price is 328, she still takes it. And her boyfriend pays cash.
Lily has no choice but to hand the earrings to the girl.
She doesn't want to see the shopkeeper's face, so she walks out and sees Louis who's coming back.
Louis asks, "Did you scan the code and buy it?"
"No. Someone else bought it." Lily looks back at the shopkeeper and says with anger, "The shopkeeper
sells the earrings to them because they pay more, which is disgusting."
The couple comes out of the shop, chatting and laughing. Louis sees the daisy earrings in the girl's
ears.
It seems that Louis wants to talk to the girl.
Lily knows what the man is thinking and grabs his arm, "Forget it. It's just a pair of earrings. There are
so many accessory shops on the street. I believe we can find another one. Besides, I don't like things
which have been used by others."
"Alright, we'll keep looking."
Before leaving, Louis turns his head to look at the name of the shop, thinking something.
They have gone to all the accessory shops on the street, and Lily can't find the daisy earrings.
She tells Louis that it's fine, but she feels upset.
'It's the only thing that I have taken a fancy to on this street, and I can't have it.'
Darkness of City L falls later in the spring. When they return to the homestay family, it's already seven
o'clock. The sun has just gone down, and sunset clouds are covering the sky.
Willow and her husband are back as well.
Having introduced her husband to Lily and Louis, Willow asks, "Ms. Lily, is there anything that you don't
eat? My husband caught some hares in the mountain. Why don't we eat together?"
Lily waves her hand, "Don't bother. We'll have dinner at the restaurant."
"It's nothing!" Willow grabs Lily's hand. She tries to show hospitality, walking and saying, "I shouldn't
have let Mr. Smith drive for two hours when coming back. So, I want to express my gratitude."
