Chapter 260: A Gift from Your Father
Chapter 260: A Gift from Your Father
She is serious, "I'd rather die than go bungee jumping!"
Louis couldn't help but laugh.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, they finally check in. There are only several people this time. Lily
and Louis go to the movie hall through the corridor.
The lights in the hall have been turned off and it is dark.
Louis is afraid that Lily wouldn't be able to see the way and wants to guide her along. Lily is shy for
holding his hands in the public and refuses. When she finds the seat, she is tripped over by something
and throws herself into him.
Louis holds her waist and chuckles, "Ms. Lily, are you that thirsty?"
"I'm tripped."
Lily mumbles and gets up from him in a hurry. However, she accidentally falls back. Her hands rest on
his chest, and she can feel his temperature through his clothes.
Louis asks mischievously, "Tripped?"
"..."
Fortunately, the lights are all turned off. Lily's blushed face cannot be seen. She coughs, gets up and
sits down calmly. She keeps stuffing popcorn into her mouth.
Life Is Beautiful tells the story of Nazi atrocities against the Jews. In the Nazi concentration camps, the
father uses his imagination to protect his son from being hurt, but dies miserably in the end.
When Lily was studying abroad and dating John, they had watched this movie together. She cried her
eyes out and even ran out of her napkins.
John laughed at her.
After a few years, Lily still can't let go of the father's smile towards his son.
Her face is still covered with tears when the lights on.
"Movies are artificial. They are meaningful, but you don't have to cry like this." Louis hands her the
napkins and smiles, "If I have a basin, I might get a basin of your tears."
Lily suddenly looks up at him.
She recalls what John had said after the movie.
"Stories are written by people. Real wars and racial discrimination are much more terrifying than they
are in the movies. I should bring a basin over and see if your tears can fill it."
The lights above them flicker.
Lily touches his face and her vision is blurred, as if the two faces in her mind are overlapping.
How could something so ridiculous happen?
No, Coffey doesn't give her an answer yet, does he?
Seeing Lily cries again as if she is sad about something, Louis grabs her hand, "I shouldn't have said
that you are emotional. Cry. There are plenty of napkins anyway."
Lily wipes her tears with his sleeves and is still sobbing, "Louis, I want to hav hotpot."
Glancing at his dirty sleeves, Louis sighs.
"Alright, let's go."
When Lily just sits down in the hotpot restaurant, Daniel's message comes. He asks where she is and
he is coming to her. And he also asks her not to tell Louis.
Lily is puzzled.
She isn't familiar with Daniel. Why is he always coming for her?
Five minutes later, Daniel says that he would wait for her at the safe passage on the first floor. Lily has
to go downstairs.
After meeting Daniel, Lily complains, "Mr. Daniel, there's a café next door. Can't we meet there? Why
are you sneaking around...."
"Too crowed in the café."
Daniel's words are brief and his tone is cold. He hands her a gift.
"No, no!" Lily retreats. That gift is like a bomb, making her panic, "If you want to apologize for what
happened before, there's no need."
"No."
"What is it?" Lily is stunned for a few seconds and her face freezes, "Mr. Daniel, you, you don't like me,
right? So this gift...."
Daniel's expression darkens bit by bit, and gets beyond description.
"You don’t have to be bothered. This gift is for your friend's child Chandler. You are only Louis’ type."
"I have the skills to attract him." Lily snorts and retaliates impolitely, "Unlike you, Mr. Daniel, no man
likes you."
She pauses for a moment and deliberately says, "I heard that after Ms. Stella got the Long Peace
Group, many rich playboys come to her every day and want to date her. I want to know whom Ms.
Stella likes. If I were her, I would date one a day before finding a perfect husband."
"Louis is right. You are glib." Daniel stares at her coldly.
Lily gives a subtle smile, "Thank you for the compliment. Give me the gift or not? I'm hungry and want
to go back."
Daniel hands the gift box to her. "I happened to see it in the shop. I hope Chandler will like it. If he likes
something, please tell me again."
"Chandler is not familiar with you. Why are you so kind to him?"
"He's very cute, and his skills are also very good." Although he has only met Chandler twice, that guy
makes him feel comfortable and warm.
Lily sighs. 'Indeed father and son!'
She has spent much time with Daniel, but Daniel still treats her indifferently. He actually gives Chandler
gift after only meeting the kid twice!
After saying goodbye, Lily takes the gift box back to the hotpot restaurant.
"Are you buying me a suit?" Louis reaches out for the gift box.
"Stop. It's not for you." Lily pats his hand away and says unhappily, "I was entrusted by a man with a
bad personality to give this gift to his friend."
Louis’ face darkens. "Who?"
"Don't be jealous!" She stuffs a piece of crispy meat into his mouth, "Enjoy the food."
"..."
Lily texts Chandler to ask him to go out. She doesn't know that Chandler would accidentally break his
foot. Stella orders him to rest at home. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
She asks Chandler for the address and plans to go find him.
Louis seems to have a grudge against 'that man', and keeps following Lily. Lily finds him ridiculous.
She doesn't know how to tell this feeling to him.
Lily asks Louis to send her back to her community and secretly observes his movement. After Louis
leaves, she leaves the community through another gate.
She gets to the high-grade community where Chandler lives in, and finds his home by the door number.
She rings the doorbell.
The little boy comes to open the door, supported by a walking stick. He reveals a brilliant smile, "Lily!"
Lily laughs at his look.
She hands the gift to him, "This is from your father, not me."
"Really?" Chandler is surprised, "How do you know my father?"
"I know your mother, and of course I know your father as well." Lily strokes his head, "Your father asks
me to give it to you. Open it and take a look."
