Raising My Wife

Chapter 9 Just Look Like A Fool

As soon as the sky turned pale and soft, Lily woke up. She did not sleep well and had too many worries

in her heart.

It was early in the morning, so it was extremely quiet here, with only a few people coming in and out.

Lily went to the balcony, looked into the distance and enjoyed the moment of peace.

The quiet environment made Lily relaxed. Looking around, there was no people, Lily put her chin on the

marble fence of the balcony. Her mouth puckered, then her hands hung; Her mouth puckered, then her

legs parted, and her eyes were empty. It made Lily relaxed. But at the same time, such kind of behavior

made Lily look like a foolish. so she made these movements only when no one was around.

Huh. A chuckle came from downstairs.

Hearing the laughter, Lily was too scared to look at who was downstairs. She just wanted to hide as

soon as possible, because Lily knew that she was really silly with such kind of behavior. She ran into

the room slowly and hid behind the bay window. Then she covered her chest with her hand and said, "I

was so scared..."

Then Lily heard footsteps coming from downstairs. She guessed that there must be more than one

person. Lily failed to resist her curiosity. She wanted to know who saw her silly look. It was so

embarrassing that Lily thought she must remember to avoid that person in the future.

Lily slowly moved to the innermost side of the balcony. But she was afraid of being exposed, so she

only poked her head out.

Downstairs, there were only two people: James, who had a calm face, and a strange man, with a

playful look on his face. The most important thing is that they all looked in the direction where she was.

Apparently, they had discovered her.

Lily blushed and rushed into the room without greeting. She climbed onto the bed and covered herself

with the quilt. After a long while, a voice was heard from the quilt, "ah... It's so shameful...".It sounded

as if Lily was going to cry.

Seeing Lily fleeing into the room, the strange man asked, "is she that woman? Interesting. " Apparently,

the strange man had seen the soft and foolish side of Lily.

"Let's go." James withdrew his gaze and walked towards the car parking not far away with the strange

man. James looked as calm as before, like a pool of quiet spring water.

However, only James himself knew that the eyes of that young girl kept popping up in his mind. Before

he came here, he only knew that the girl had beautiful eyes. But just now when Lily was peeping

downstairs, James caught a glimpse of all the cunning, shame and anger in her eyes and the surprise

when she found him.

As soon as they got into the car, the man said all of a sudden, "James, so you treat her, huh?" He was

eager to know more.

As James was taking a rest with his eyes closed, he added, "You know, Sean, it's my responsibility."

His tone was neither too cold nor too intimate.

Sean was startled, then smiled seductively, "you've been holding on for this responsibility for so many

years? Come on! "He paused and continued in a rare serious tone," if it's for what happened back then,

the investigation will suffice. What do you mean by taking her home now? Bring her up? Or do you

mean that... "Sean thought of the possibility and smirked.

"Sean," James opened his eyes with cool expression in his eyes. "She saved me, and she is the

witness of that incident."

'I helped you investigate this event. Don't talk nonsense!' thought Sean, and a white eye rolled in his

heart. Seeing that James was wearing an expression of abstinence, the idea that someone had a

special hobby in Sean's mind was dispelled all of a sudden.

The two in the car stopped talking, and silence returned in the car.

It was not easy for Lily to do a good job of psychological construction. As soon as she went downstairs,

she met Lara. Lara was shocked, "Wow! Lily, why do you get up so early? I haven't cooked breakfast

yet. "

Lily walked towards Lara with a soft smile. "I went to bed early at night and couldn't fall asleep in the

morning. Let me help you." Then she held Lara's arm and walked into the kitchen.

"You naughty girl!" Lara couldn't help but tap Lily's forehead gently and said with a smile, "You needn't

help me, Go to the living room and sit down. I'll prepare the breakfast for you right away." Although

Lara said so, she didn't push away Lily's hand.

Watching Lara busy in the kitchen, Lily went blank for a moment. Then she remembered something

and asked, "Lara, where is Mr. James? Didn't he want to have breakfast?" Lily asked deliberately,

having watched James go out.

"Mr. James has already been out for a while." Lara continued her work. "Mr. James seldom has Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

breakfast. Alas, I don't know if he had breakfast in the company. Mr. James had a stomach problem

long time ago. He was too busy to take care of his stomach. In the past, I often made soup for Mr.

James but he seldom drank it. Later, Mr. James asked me to stop. All right, all right. "

Stomach trouble. Lily recorded it silently in her heart.

Although Lara was chatting with Lily, but Lara didn't idle her hands, and soon the breakfast was ready.

Lily was moved when she saw the breakfast that Lara prepared, 'Lara cooked this Chinese style

breakfast because of me.'

On the table, there were many mini soupy steamed buns, a bowl of steaming porridge and a few dishes

of pickles. Maybe this breakfast wasn't sumptuous, but it would take a long time and effort to make it.

Lily took a sip of the porridge. She could feel the warmth of the porridge. She knew that even though

the food here was simple, it was carefully prepared by Lara for taking care of her traditional Chinese

stomach.

After breakfast, Lily was about to go back to her room. But Bill came in and stopped her.

"Miss Lily." Bill came in, followed by a man that Lily had never seen before.

"Miss Lily, this is Mr. James's assistant, Zelda." Bill introduced the stranger to Lily in a soft voice.

After Bill's introduction, Zelda went up to Lily, seeing confused expression in Lily's eyes, Zelda

explained his purpose. "Hello, Miss Lily. I just bring something for you as Mr. James ordered."

Lily saw Zelda holding a carton. Although Lily was confused, she took the carton without hesitation

when she heard that it was from James.

"Mr. James told me to bring this for Miss Lily to the study. It's heavy. I'd better bring it for you." Zelda

said to Lily with a smile, full of respect in his tone.

Lily gave in and smiled back at others' friendliness. She nodded.

Lily went upstairs with Zelda to the study. When she opened the door, Zelda stopped.

"Miss Lily, I can't enter Mr. James's study, so I have to send it here." Zelda smiled apologetically and

put the carton in front of the study door.

"It's okay. Thank you." Lily said in a low voice, wondering why Zelda couldn't go inside.

"By the way, Mr. James also picked some books for Miss Lily in the MoborReader, and I will tidy them

up before giving them to you. I'm leaving now. Bye, Miss Lily. " Then Zelda left.

Seeing Bill and Zelda off, Lara was worried and didn't notice that Lily went downstairs. Lara thought

she was not qualified to get involved because this was the order from James, so even though with full

worries in her heart, Lara had to stop herself from going upstairs to help Lily.

Lily felt speechless at this time. She did not expect that the carton was so heavy. She had tried her best

to drag it into the study and she was too tired to move it. Lily collapsed on the floor.

Now that it was from James, then just open it. Lily finally decided to open the carton.

She was stunned when she opened it. The carton was so heavy, and it turned out that it was full of

books inside.

Lily picked up a book at random. It was math of the middle school. And she turned out all the books,

which were almost junior high school classes. Lily thought of what James said yesterday and

understood.
