Chapter 346: My Mother Asked Me To bring You the Food
“David, good evening!” Kay says nonchalantly, “Are you still in the Smith mansion having dinner with
Mr. Smith?”
“No, he made me leave.”
Kay acknowledges quickly and asks again, “Then, are you at home?”
“Mr. Smith won’t let me stay with him, so of course I have to come back. I took a private plane and got
home in an hour. But why are you asking me about this? Why do you care about me?”
“David, my cousin! Of course, I should care about you!”
On the other end of the call David sneers, “Come on, do I not know you? Your parents are at my
house. They were just showing off that you found a girlfriend, asking me why I haven’t found one yet.”
Through the call, Kay can feel David’s grievances. The elders must have said a lot.
But, after all, David is twenty-nine.
Kay smiles unkindly in his heart and touches his nose, “Will you return to Yorkshire tomorrow morning?
I have something to give to Mr. Smith but it’s not easy to give it to him by myself.”
“What? It’s not Miss Lily’s something, right?”
“… Yeah, it is.”
“Then you go by yourself!” David immediately changes his tone, but kindly reminds him, “Her name is a
bomb for Mr. Smith, so you go by yourself.”
“Is that so?” Kay feels miserable.
He originally wanted to hand it over to David, thinking it will reach Louis, but David is really not going to
help to him!
David sighs quietly, “If it wasn’t for my work, I would never have been able to avoid Mr. Smith. Oh! By
the way, I sent him to his residence this evening. He hasn’t been to the Smith mansion for a long time. I
think he will also spend New Year’s in his residence. You know where he lives, just go there directly.”
Kay has no words to respond with.
“David, are you done? It’s time to eat.” A gentle female voice suddenly came from the other end of the
call.
Kay has no recollection of that voice.
He freezes for a few seconds and then exclaims, “Fuck! David, who is that? Aren’t you at home having
New Year’s dinner?”
David stammers, “It’s a relative… who just came from abroad.”
“You bastard!” Kay over runs him, “I have basically seen both of out relatives. When did this relative
come back from abroad with her soft voice?”
“Okay, you go deliver the stuff quickly!” David doesn’t answer directly and hangs up the phone.
Kay chuckles.
The more David hides, the more Kay thinks there is a problem.
“Okay, but for now the focus is to deliver this.” Kay mutters as he looks at the DSLR.
Now that David has gone home, he can only risk his own life and go to Mr. Smith.
When he is about to drive away, he suddenly remembers that today is the New Year’s Eve and Mr.
Smith and Lily have broken up. If he goes over with Lily’s things, would he be beaten?
Kay hesitates in the car for a long time, then turns it off and locks it and goes back to Daisy’s house.
Daisy opens the door.
Kay can’t see Joey and Chloe in the living room. Maybe they are in the room, so he says to Daisy, “It
seems that Mr. Smith didn’t go back to the Smith mansion for New Year’s Eve dinner because of work.
Mom, can you cook up some food, I’ll take it to him.”
“Are you going to give him something?”
Kay scratches his head, “Yes, something very important, must be delivered tonight.”
“I’ll make it right now, you wait.”
Daisy goes into the kitchen in a hurry, fearing that Louis might go hungry if she is late.
Kay can’t help but sigh. It is a blessing to have such a good mother-in-law.
In about an hour, Daisy makes six dishes and a soup.
The soup is preserved spareribs and lotus root soup. She makes it in a pressure cooker and then fills it
in two thermoses.
Daisy seems to have a lot of questions for Kay. However, in the end, she doesn’t ask anything and just
hands him the food, “Tell Louis to rest more and not work all day.”
Kay nods, “Don’t worry, Mom. I will tell him your words.”
With the food made by Daisy, Kay drives to Louis’s residence with confidence. From a distance, he
finds a black car parked on the side of the road.
It is strange. It is not like the car that Louis usually drives.
Kay thinks wonderingly, parks his car and walks to the villa. When he passes the car, he glances
inside. It seems like there is someone in the back seat and the door opens next second.
A woman in a camel coat steps out, her skin is pale and smooth. She doesn’t look old at all.
She hurries over to Kay’s side. She looks kind and gentle and speaks in a soft tone, “Are you going to
go in and meet Louis?”
“Yes. What do you want?” Kay looks at her warily.
Yuna also sees that Kay is holding the food containers in his hands and pauses for a moment.
Then she returns to the car and takes out a classic and exquisite bento box for him. She bends forward
slightly, “Take this to Louis please. He… he didn’t come home for dinner tonight. His family was
worried.”
Kay does not answer but rather looks her up and down, “You are here, why don’t you give it to him
yourself?”
He has been with Louis for a long time. He has met all the members of the Smith family. He has never
seen this woman, but judging from her tone, she seemed to be related to Louis somehow.
Is she Mr. Smith’s blind date?
This thought flashes through Kay’s mind, but he soon thinks it is impossible.
The woman in front of him appears young but upon looking carefully he can see the fine lines around
her eyes. She is obviously over fifty. Even if Mr. Smith broke up with Lily, he would never…
At Kay’s question, Yuna’s eyes darken. She says in an obscure tone, “He probably doesn’t want to see
me. Can you please give it to him? It’s not good for him to stay hungry.”
Kay asks her tentatively, “Are you familiar with Mr. Smith?”
Yuna hesitates for a while, then shakes her head resolutely, “Not quite familiar.”
So why are you concerned about him so much? Kay thinks.
Kay can’t understand it. He doesn’t want to help her deliver the food but Yuna bows deeply to him and
asks sincerely. Her actions make him embarrassed so he brings the bento box too.
When he goes up the stairs and rings the door bell, he sees that Yuna gets into her car and soon the
car drives away.
Who is this woman?
Kay is still thinking about it when the door opens. Louis stands there, wearing dark gray casual clothes.
He is staring at Kay with a pair of cold eyes, intimidating him.
“What is it?”
Kay suddenly gets chills down his spine. He hurries to put on a smile, “Mr. Smith, are you busy? My
mother was afraid that you were still hungry so I brought you dinner.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Louis raises an eyebrow, “Your mother knows me?”
“No, I spoke wrong. I meant, my mother-in-law.” Kay realizes he just blurt out without changing her title,
“You still haven’t eaten yet? Should I bring it in for you? It’s quite heavy.”
“No.” Louis’s face sinks, as he reaches out to close the door, his tone even colder than before.
Kay quickly wedges his foot in the door and says emotionally, “Mr. Smith, you and Miss Lily broke up,
but my mother-in-law still cares about you.”
“She heard that you were busy with work and did not eat. She spent hours in the kitchen, made so
many dishes and soup and asked me to bring it here for you. She also asked for you to stop working so
much and rest more.”
