Chapter 452: It Looks Like She Is Hiding A Man in Her House
Lily looks at Willow's belly and then looks at her face. She's so surprised. "You have one baby or?"
Willow purses her lips and smiles. "I saw my doctor and he said I've got twins."
...
Willow has carried her twins for only four months, and her belly are so big now. Lily is pregnant with
triplets, but people won't know it if she doesn't take her coat off. That's a big difference.
So, Lily envies Willow. "Oh, that's so nice."
She still doesn't have a big belly. The doctor said that it has something to do with her physique. But Lily
is worried that her babies will have poor health, because they really grow slower than other babies.
Willow thinks that Lily is envious of her having twins, so she says, "Ms. Lily, it's easy to have twins."
"I don't...." Lily's smile freezes.
But Willow interrupts her, "There is a well called 'Twin' on the mountain behind my house. If you really
want twins, you will have after drinking the well water."
...
Lily thinks, "No, thanks. I'm already pregnant with triplets. No need for that water."
"Ms. Lily, I'm not lying. That water works." Willow continues, "Every day, many people go there to drink
the water. I heard that nine out of ten are pregnant with twins. The well water also works on men. If you
don't feel like going there, you can ask your husband to drink it!"
Lily looks at Louis, who is driving. "No, I think you're making a mistake. We are not a couple."
Willow is surprised. "But you two look so lovely. I thought that you ... I'm so sorry!"
"It's fine." Lily smiles.
Although Louis is driving, he hears them talking in the backseat.
At first, he thinks it's ridiculous. It's 21st century. Who would believe that?
But when Lily clarifies their relationship, his face sinks. He looks at her through the rearview mirror
without saying anything.
Two hours later, they arrive at the house.
Willow's house is very large, like a small palace. It's designed to look like traditional homes in City L.
The paths leading into the house are filled with various flowers.
The flowers bloom with a faint fragrance.
Lily sniffs and smells the fragrance of flowers. Then she looks up at the blue sky and totally calms
down.
She's happy that she chooses this homestay family. It's much more comfortable than staying in a hotel.
Willow leads Lily and Louis to the third floor and apologizes again. "I thought you're a couple, so I
prepared a family room for you. Fortunately, the opposite family room is empty. You can have one room
each. There's no extra charge. It's off-season for travel now. There are not many guests. Don't mind
about it."
"Thank you," Lily says, "I like your house very much. Maybe I'll come again next time."
"Alright. Next time you come, tell me in advance. I'll save the room with the best view for you!" Willow
turns to look at them and says with curiosity, "You two really look lovely. Why don't you give it a try?"
Lily is lost for words. She says after a while, "We've tried."
"And we broke up a long time ago," Louis adds with an indifferent expression.
Willow is surprised and doesn't dare to ask anything more.
After Lily gets in the family room, she sees the spacious living room. There are three bedrooms. It's
indeed large to her. It's more suitable for a family.
However, this room enjoys a good view, so she doesn't want to change a room.
Lily takes out her clothes in the suitcase and hangs them in the closet. Just as she finishes her work,
her phone rings.
It's Director Jarvis. He says that the cast are all in the coffee shop downstairs, except her and the actor.
So, he asks them to come down and meet everyone.
Lily agrees.
Director Jarvis and the others still don’t know that she gets another "actor".
Lily knocks on Louis’ door and tells him what Director Jarvis said. After hesitating for a while, she says,
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go. We'll start filming tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"I'll go. I have to meet them anyway." Louis closes the door.
So, they walk downstairs together. Suddenly, Louis says coldly, "Ms. Lily, do you think I'll humiliate you?
No matter what happens, you always want to hide me."
Lily remembers the past and looks a little awkward. "No. I thought you're busy with your work."
Louis says, "We're all here. I can put my work aside."
Lily can't say anything about it, so she just shuts up.
Now it looks like she's keeping a man in her house.
But they've broken up.
The café is not big. When Lily gets in, she sees nine people sitting at a square table in the corner.
They are talking and laughing. It's quite lively.
"Director Jarvis."
Lily calls him as she walks to the table with Louis.
Everyone at the table raise their heads and turn to look at them.
They are not surprised to see Lily. But when they see the cold and handsome man beside her, several
people widen their eyes.
"That's Mr. Smith, right?"
"Why did Mr. Smith come here with Ms. Lily of the HS?"
"I heard that they are having a corporation. Now Mr. Smith is here. It's probably true."
...
Lily could hear those people talking about them from a distance.
They are all giving her and Louis a searching and gossip look. Lily doesn't know what to say. Mr. Smith
is not only here, he will also be the leading actor. You guys must be even more shocked to know that.
"Ms. Lily." Director Jarvis walks to her.
He is only twenty-nine years old. But his long beard and small eyes make him look like in his thirties.
After greeting Lily, Director Jarvis reaches out his hand to Louis and says with a smile, "Mr. Smith, I've
heard a lot about you. I didn't expect to see you today. I'm so lucky!"
Louis does not reply and only smiles faintly. He shakes hands with Director Jarvis but let go quickly.
Louis just stands there and looks very powerful.
People at the table used to talk happily. But when Louis comes over, none of them dares to say
anything, as if they are silenced.
Lily finds it funny.
When she was not familiar with Louis, she was also tied up when she met him. She didn't even are to
speak loudly. But then they grew so close to each other, and they even got together.
She is no longer afraid of Louis. She could do anything to him.
And she loved to play with his apple. She loved to see him frowning, but he never got mad at her.
Lily gets a little distracted. She does not notice that Director Jarvis is speaking to her.
"Director Jarvis, what did you say?" She hastily raises her head when someone pats on her shoulder.
Director Jarvis repeats what he just said. "I'm asking: the actor is not here yet?"
"He won't come."
"What?" Director Jarvis frowns. "You haven't talked to their company?"
Lily explains, "No. The actor has a scandal. We're afraid that someone would use this to cancel our
new product after the advertisement is released."
Director Jarvis nods and asks, "Then, what are you gonna do? Do you want to rewrite the script on the
spot?"
He pauses before continuing, "If you need time to find a new actor, we can wait. I've got nothing on
hand."
Lily remembers what his assistant said that day. Now she just wants to sneer when she hears his
words.
Director Jarvis thinks HS is an infamous small company. If it weren't for the money, he might not take NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
the job. He even sets a time limit because he doesn't want to "waste" his time.
But when Louis comes here, he immediately changes his attitude. He asks her to do whatever she
wants. Now he could wait.
What an ugly snob!
