Chapter 279: I’m His Mother
Chapter 279: I’m His Mother
They are scurrying around in the diner until past ten o’clock when all the snacks and home-made red
wine are out of stock.
Chloe pours several cups of barley tea and divides them to everyone. After that, she nestles herself in
Coffey’s arms like a clingy siren, “Hubby, mom is so tired. It’s inappropriate to let her cook later. Let’s
have lunch in a restaurant.”
Lily takes a sip of the tea and frowns slightly.
She always has a sense of foreboding that something will happen between Coffey and Chloe as their
relationship are improved way too smoothly.
Daisy fails to remain her composure and says to Chloe, “Dear, you two haven’t had an engagement.
How can you address him ‘Hubby’? Don’t be fooled by Coffee’s blandishments.”
“It’s okay, mom.” Seeing that her mother-in-law-to-be is at her side, Chloe gets on cloud nine. She
explains timidly, “We have gifted each other a token of affection. It’s like we have had engagement.”
She continues, “Next year, when Coffee is not that busy with his study, we will get married and have
our child! Mom, I will give you three cute grandchildren!”
Daisy beams, “Great, great. Dear, don’t get yourself tired. If you don’t want to film movie, you can just
give up. I’ll give you all the money I earn in the future.”
“Gee! Mom, aren’t you impartial?” Lily chimes in and asks deliberately, “Can’t I use your money?”
Daisy shifts her gaze onto Lily upon hearing her words, “Oh, I almost forget your presence. Look at
yourself, your younger brother is going to marry next year, what about you?”
Lily retorts, “There’s no progress in Joey’s relationship either, isn’t it?”
“At least Joey has her boyfriend! But you’re still single!” Daisy adds with dissatisfaction, “I don’t mean to
urge you to get marry, but you should try to start a relationship. At least you may not feel lonely.”
Lily lowers her head to drink the tea.
She’s not lonely at all. To top it off, she received a gift for engagement. Should she tell them about this?
Seeing Lily’s reaction, Daisy continues, “Why don’t you speak? Aren’t I right? Or are you still hung up
on that Mr. Smith and turn your nose up at other men?”
“Not so.”
Daisy glances at her with an ‘I understand you so much’ and ‘I was right’ look.
Chloe can’t help putting in good words for Louis, “Mom, Louis is good. He’s handsome and rich. I think
he’s a perfect match for elder sister.”
“Handsome men are always good at deceiving women.”
Lily and the others are quite speechless.
“Mrs. Daisy, seems like you have so much complaints against me.” Louis appears from outside of the
store with something in his hands and a helpless look.
“How comes you are…” Lily wants to greet him out of subconsciousness, but thinking of her mom’s
presence, she sits back into her seat and swallows the unspoken words.
Daisy throws a few glances at Louis and says, “My daughter liked you and brought you to my house. I
made noodles to entertain you. But look at how you treated her later? She suffered from high fever for
three days and almost died of it. This alone can be a strong reason for why I have such complaints
about you.”
Daisy is a weak woman. But women would always become stronger when they have children. She
wants to protect her own child. Back then, she had a good impression on Louis, but since Lily’s high
fever last time, she grew resentment against Louis.
Louis walks in with gifts in his hands and apologizes sincerely, “Yep, you’re right. I was young and
ignorant, and therefore had done something wrong. I should bear your complaints.”
Daisy sneers.
Louis smiles and hands her the gifts, “I heard that making new dishes and red wine is one of your
hobbies, so I asked someone to bring me some ingredients from abroad. You can try these later.”
“Are you trying to bribing me?”
“If I want to bribe you, I won’t use these small gifts.” Louis continues, “I like the dishes you make and
hope you will make it better and expand your storefront. Thereafter, you can hire some employees and
what you need to do is just to count money. You’ll be happy if you can afford your grandchild’s
powdered milk, right?”
Daisy seems to be swayed. Although she still pulls a long face, she receives the gifts, “My daughter
can earn money by herself, so she won’t rely on you. And I’m not the kind of person to be messed
with.”
Louis’ smile becomes brighter, “You’re right. Maybe I have to rely on her in the future.”
Seeing that Lily is still muddle-headed, Daisy shouts, “He’s our guest. Shouldn’t you pour him a cup of
tea?”
“Well.” Lily hastily pours a cup of barley tea, hands it to Louis, and whispers, “Mr. Smith, good job, you
know how to suit the remedy to the case and use her hobby as a point of solution.”
“Your boyfriend is extraordinary.” Louis whispers to her ear.
Lily rolls her eyes at him.
Regardless of Daisy’s complaints against Louis, Louis has a mild attitude from the begging to the end,
and even teaches Daisy how to attract customers since clients of different age groups have different
orientation towards home-made wine.
As it progresses, Daisy even takes out a notebook. When the conversation is over, she glances at
Louis with a look implying ‘this son-in-law-to-be is useful’.
At noon, Chloe proposes to have lunch at JS Restaurant and asks Louis to pay the bill.
Daisy doesn’t like these kinds of dishes and asks them to go.
“Let it be. She’s always like this.” Lily understands Daisy well. Seeing that she declines to go with them,
she holds up Chloe’s hand and leaves with Louis and Coffey behind the two girls.
The four of them take the lift. When they get downstairs, a woman with a light yellow dress and elegant
dressing comes upstairs from the other life. It’s Yuna Akihito.
Yuna glances at the sign of the diner, walks over, and stands right in front of the diner.
“Do you want to buy snacks?” Daisy turns around and sees her, “Sorry, my guest. The snacks and wine
are all out of stock today. You may come tomorrow.”
“Are you Lily’s mother?”
Daisy is bewildered. This woman is dressed in brand-name clothes and looks elegant, seeming to be
the lady from a rich family, “I am. Are you coming for my daughter?”
“No. I come to visit you.” There seems to be tears in Yuna’s eyes. She hastily takes out her
handkerchief to wipe them away, “I heard that Lily’s mother opened a diner here and I came to have a
look.
Daisy is a bit baffled, but she still invites her to come in and pours her a cup of barley tea.
“Thank you.” Yuna holds the cup, smiling at Daisy, “You’re gentle and generous and has given her a
good upbringing. She’s beautiful, wise, and capable.”
“Oh, you flattered me. It all depends on herself.” Daisy ponders for a while before asking scrupulously,
“My daughter has been by my side since her birth. To top it off, I discharged from the hospital with her
in my arms after the birth. So she’s definitely my own daughter.”
Yuna is stunned for a moment, “You misunderstood it. I know she’s your biological daughter.”
“Then…”
“Do you know that your daughter is dating the president of the Smith Group?” Yuna chokes with sobs,
“I… I’m his mother. So I come to have a look.”
She doesn’t dare to bother Louis and Lily, so she can only choose to come to Daisy.
“Turns out you’re Louis’ mother.” Daisy becomes even courteous after knowing her identity, “I haven’t
prepared well to entertain you. What about us coming out to have lunch?”
Yuna hastily presses down her hand, “No need to be so courteous. I just want to have a chip chat with
you.”
Daisy sits back into her chair.
Yuna wipes her eye corners, “I have been recuperating abroad due to my poor physical condition.
Louis was young when we separated with each other, and he might have forgotten me. I came back
home this time. But I have no idea about how to compensate him. Please don’t tell Louis and Lily about
my visit today. I don’t want to ruin their good mood.”
Daisy nods in agreement as she knows that Yuna has her own difficulties. She says, “But you are the
mother and son. Even if you have separated with each other for long, your son may be missing you all
along inside.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
