Chapter 429: He's a Human, and He Has Feelings
Lily's expression hardens and she's kind of an emotional wreck.
Lily understands what Louis means very well.
Louis doesn't deny that the media reviews of photos in the newspaper are not baseless. Louis indeed
has something to do with Sofia.
It turns out that Lily thinks too well of things, but in fact, Louis has let it go.
Seeing Lily hanging down her head and looking dispirited, Louis feels a little heartbreaking but doesn't
say anything. Louis only asks, "Have you had enough?"
"Yes."
Seeing that it's still raining heavily outside, Louis takes pity on Lily, "It's not going to stop raining tonight. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
It's hard to drive in heavy rain. You can sleep in the guest room. I'll take care of some business."
Lily says, "Thank you, Mr. Smith."
Hearing this, Louis looks solemn.
Just as Louis goes upstairs and enters the study room, his phone is ringing in his pocket. Louis takes
out it and finds that it is Baron.
"Mr. Smith, didn't we agree to share the profits of that project equally?" As soon as Baron gets through,
he says, "Why did you change it to a 70/30 split in the profits overnight?"
Louis says casually, "I invest the most money and my people are responsible for it. 70/30 split in the
profits is the most reasonable.
"... Damn it!" Baron, who has always been refined and elegant, can't help but swear. Baron says after
calming down, "I went to the clubhouse and bumped into Ms. Lily. I brought her to the private room just
to put her through the mill. If you are angry, you should take revenge on Mr. Sawyer. But you set me up
behind my back in the project. You're so black-hearted."
"Lily will only hear some dirty words when she is with a group of men." Louis sneers, "I think you're just
letting her be bullied."
"You've broken up. You still didn't sell Ms. Lily oranges. Why are you putting on a show of "Revenge for
Beauty"?"
"Even if I've broken up with Lily, Tom, Dick and Harry can't bully her." Louis says coldly, "I insist on
70/30 split in the profits of that project. Do it or pull back!"
Louis hangs up the phone, feeling irritated.
Louis doesn't understand why he still misses Lily even if he has broken up with her.
Seeing that Lily was bullied before, Louis subconsciously defended her. When Lily cried bitterly
because she couldn't eat the tofu buns, Louis called the chef of the club to learn how to make buns.
Lily asked Louis about the newspaper, and he really wanted to explain it to her. But Louis thinks of the
video and feels that there is no need to explain.
Lily has always cared about others but ignores how Louis feels. Lily tramples on Louis' feelings again
and again.
Louis is a human and he has feelings.
Louis composes his irritation and turns on his computer to get back to work.
Louis has been too busy to fly abroad these days, only holding videoconferences with a few foreign
subsidiaries. Videoconferencing is a hassle to a city like New York with a time difference of more than
10 hours.
When Louis turns off the computer, he hears the soft rain outside the window. It's one o'clock in the
morning.
Louis returns to his bedroom to wash up and changes into his nightgown.
Thinking of Lily looking dejected at night, Louis turns the doorknob to open the door of the guest room.
After entering the room, Louis sees Lily sleeping soundly on the bed, her snow-white ragdoll lying on
the quilt like a patron saint.
Ragdoll looks up, watches Louis approaching the bedside, and meows lazily.
Louis knows that the ragdoll seldom meows and is gentle. When the ragdoll is in a rage, it only uses its
claws to scratch the German Shepherd Dog's face until the dog's face is covered in scratches and
blood. Louis sits down by the bed.
Louis sees Lily sleeping peacefully, her black hair pressed down on the pillow, her chin a little fleshier
than before.
Louis’ dry and hot palm brushes past Lily's cheeks. Louis touches Lily's chin and thinks to himself, "It
seems that Lily lives quite well abroad. She's only been back a few days and she's putting on weight."
Lily suddenly frowns and mutters, "Don't kick me. Be good and sleep."
Louis automatically looks at the ragdoll.
The ragdoll obediently lies on the quilt, looking at Louis innocently with its blue eyes.
Louis looks at the ragdoll and thinks of the video of a cat sleeping on its owner's face and nearly
choking him. So Louis grabs the ragdoll by the back of its neck with both hands and takes it out.
The ragdoll gently meows, its four claws flopping slightly.
Louis is cold-hearted, "Sleep in the cat nest. If you go upstairs again, I'll throw you out!"
--
Lily is kicked a dozen times by several babies in her belly when she's sleeping.
Lily feels as if she is teaching her babies how to play football in her dream and they always kick the
football on her, making her feel very painful.
After waking up, Lily is listless.
Lily lifts her clothes and looks at her slightly bulging belly. Lily comes near to a breakdown and thinks
that the babies in other people's bellies are so good and quiet while her babies are going to kick
through her belly.
'What? Are three little guys fighting in there?'
Lily is very depressed early in the morning. After washing up, Lily goes downstairs and sees Louis
sitting cross-legged at the dining table, eating breakfast while talking to someone with a Bluetooth
headset.
Lily walks over with heavy steps, pulls the chair rudely, and sits down.
Louis glimpses that Lily is coming and he hangs up. Louis looks up and sees that Lily wakes up on the
wrong side of the bed as if someone disturbed her sleep. Then Louis goes to the kitchen to bring
breakfast to Lily.
Lily glances at the millet porridge in front of her and says angrily, "I'd rather starve than eat it!"
"..."
Louis really feels that Lily is a real hard-ass.
Louis has broken up with Lily. But Louis has to be subservient to Lily at home and wait on Lily
personally.
Louis asks patiently, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Hearing Louis’ gentle tone, Lily feels that she has gone too far just now, so she doesn't say anything,
looks down, and has porridge.
Louis turns around and goes to the kitchen.
About ten minutes later, Louis puts a bowl of hot noodles with shredded meat and a fried egg beside
Lily's hand, "I only know how to make this kind of noodle. Make do with it."
Lily's eyes are moist by the heat in the bowl. Lily is hooked on Louis’ gentleness. But she wonders why
Louis’ so kind to her and indulges her in everything when he doesn't like her.
'Will Louis come to Sofia and cook noodles for her?'
Louis doesn't know that Lily gets a lot in her mind when she is looking at the noodles. Louis is in a
hurry to go to the company to deal with things. When Louis finishes eating, he takes off the suit coat on
the hanger.
"I called David. He will take you back to your apartment later." Louis puts on his suit coat. He stands up
straight, his waist wide and his hip narrow. His back is pleasant to the eye.
Before leaving, Louis looks at the ragdoll at Lily's feet and says, "Remember to take the cat away."
Lily purses her lips and says, "Will David charge for it?"
"No."
With that, Louis pushes open the door and leaves so quickly that Lily doesn't even come to see his
back.
Lily picks up chopsticks and eats the noodles made by Louis in small mouthfuls.
The meat is overdone and salty, but Lily thinks that it's delicious.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Lily feels her stomach warm. Lily gradually comes to her senses and
understands what she should do.
Louis made it very clear last night that the news in the newspaper was true. It's impossible for Louis to
get back to Lily. Lily no longer has to delude herself that Louis still loves herself.
Louis will have a new girlfriend, a new life, and Lily should stay away from him.
Lily gently strokes her belly and smiles helplessly, "I was going to tell Louis about your existence, but it
seems that I still have to earn money to support you."
"Ms. Lily, what are you muttering about?"
Lily looks up and sees that David is changing his shoes at the entrance. David doesn't seem to hear
Lily clearly and asks her curiously.
Lily says casually, "It's fine. I said that the noodles made by Mr. Smith are a little salty."
"What?!"
David quickly runs over and looks at the messy kitchen. He then looks at the bowl in front of Lily and
becomes shocked, "Holy shit. Will wonders never cease? Mr. Smith actually cooked!"
