Chapter 444: She Has Gained Weight Because of the Babies!
Lily looks at her facial features in the small mirror handed over by Ella. She feels that she does not look
bad, but in the entertainment industry, there are a lot of women as beautiful as her.
She says helplessly, "I am so busy. How can I have time for that? I'll just pick another one."
Besides, she's not interested in acting.
Ella looks at her wristwatch and sighs, "Ms. Lily, it's almost afternoon. You've read all the documents
and you don't like any of them. It's too late for me to find an actress."
"Ms. Lily, you have to give it a second thought. If you don't do it, we'll have to look for the female lead
and director after tonight and we might not be able to find satisfactory ones. The cost will definitely be
even higher."
Lily is speechless.
Actually, Ella is right. She has chosen Director Jarvis, and she may not be able to find another one like
him and the cost must be high.
Lily ponders for a few minutes, finally grits her teeth and says, "Alright, I'll do it."
"Ms. Lily, I'm glad to hear that." Ella is relieved. "Don't worry, I'll take care of the company. I'll call you if
there's an emergency. I promise I won't disappoint you."
Lily smiles and says, "Having a dedicated assistant like you saves me a lot of trouble. I'll give you a rise C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
in salary."
"Thank you, Ms. Lily."
"You deserve it." After the chat, Lily instructs her, "Book plane tickets and notify Director Jarvis and the
actor. We're leaving for City L on time tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll do it now!"
After the most important thing is settled, Lily starts to process the documents and wants to settle all the
urgent matters before she leaves.
Just as she drinks some water during the break, the phone rings.
Seeing that it is her mother, Lily turns on the speaker and puts it aside, "Mom, what's up?"
"Have you forgotten about me?"
Lily feels wry. "How can I? I'm just busy with my work."
On the phone, Daisy sighs and says in distress, "You worked so hard when you were abroad and you
are still occupied after coming back. Lily, don't just focus on working, take some rest."
"I know." Daisy's concern warms up her heart.
She didn't have time for her mother since she came back. Now that the things at hand are almost done,
she happens to be free.
Lily asks, "Mom, are you at home or in the shop? I'll go to your place."
"In the shop."
A few minutes later, after finishing all matters, Lily informs her assistant, packs up and leaves.
When she arrives at the shop, she is surprised to see that there are a lot of customers. Daisy is busy
with the employees she hired.
She doesn't expect the business will be so good in Daisy's small shop.
Seeing that there are too many guests and Daisy can't spare time for them, Lily greets her mother and
goes to help.
After being busy for half an hour, the shop becomes quiet.
Daisy pours some water for Lily and looks at her for a while. She seems not to recognize her. She is
stunned for a long time. "I thought that you couldn't eat and sleep well when you were abroad. Lily, you
seem to have gained a lot of weight."
Lily laughs, "Even if I didn't eat well abroad, I've been back for a long time, and every time, I will eat a
lot, so I get fat."
"You're not going to lose weight?" Daisy is puzzled. "You are afraid of getting fat, so you always eat so
little."
Lily doesn't want to tell Daisy about her pregnancy, afraid that if she accidentally spills the beans,
others will find it out.
Lily lies, "I don't want that. I look good when I'm fat."
Daisy looks at her for a few more times and says meaningfully, "Lily, the wedding dress is made
according to your weight of 45kg. You should eat less, otherwise, it will be a trouble for your marriage."
Daisy's words remind Lily of something and her eyes darken.
She begged Daisy to make a wedding dress of the traditional style because she wanted a traditional
wedding with Louis. But now...
Seeing that Lily is silent, Daisy thinks that she is hurt, so she says, "I'm just joking. You can eat
whatever you like. When you get married, I will make you another one!"
Lily comes to herself and smiles faintly, "No need, Mom, I don't know when I will get married."
Daisy seems to know something. "Did you break up?"
"Yes."
Daisy is dumbfounded, then she caresses Lily's head. "One can't be forced to love. If you can't find a
compatible spouse, no marriage is fine. I will take care of you."
Lily's nose twitched. She tries her best not to cry and jokes, "Alright, then I will not get married."
"What are you talking about?" Daisy rolls her eyes and says, "I mean it will be fine if you can't, but you
have to try. How can you live with me forever?"
Lily is speechless.
An employee comes over with a mop and says, "Daisy, go sit outside. I'll mop the floor when there
aren't many guests."
Daisy takes two stools and sits down with Lily outside the shop.
After sitting down, Daisy starts nagging. She first asks Lily what takes her so long abroad. She says
that after the Spring Festival, Joey went filming and Kay has been with her.
At the end of the conversation, Daisy asks cautiously, "Lily, have you contacted your brother recently?"
"Why?"
"He hasn't returned since the Spring Festival." Daisy sighs with worry on her face. "Every time I call
him, he won't answer. Do you think he has broken up with Chloe?"
Lily takes a sip of tea and says, "Mom, you are overthinking."
Daisy is still sighing, "Don't blame me for being paranoid. Chloe is so beautiful, and she is Mr. Smith's
younger sister. Any rich man will be attracted! I'm afraid she won't like Coffey and doesn't want him
anymore."
"They're fine. Coffey is busy studying and Chloe is busy filming." Lily suppresses her sadness and
forces a smile, "When Chloe is free, I will come back for a meal with her."
"Are they really fine?"
"I assure you. Can't you see how close they are? Don't let your imagination go wild."
Daisy calms down and asks Lily, "What would you like to eat? I will make dinner for you."
Lily is drooling, "I want tremella porridge."
"That will take me some time."
"..."
They sit in front of the shop and chat about their daily life. Suddenly, someone calls Daisy.
Lily finds the voice familiar. She turns around and sees a woman in a light purple dress walking towards
them. She is almost fifty years old, but her skin is well maintained.
"Scarlett, why are you here?" Daisy stands up to greet her.
Scarlett says, "Didn't we agree to go to the beauty salon together? I just happened to be free, so I
came here earlier."
"I am so busy today that I almost forgot." Daisy says helplessly, "I can't make it today. Lily is here."
As soon as Daisy gets up, Lily follows suit.
Hearing Daisy's address of her, Lily thinks to herself, 'She doesn't share a surname with her husband.
Has she divorced Takuya Oguri?'
Until they finish chatting, Lily greets Scarlett, "Aunt."
Scarlett does not expect Lily to be the one chatting with Daisy. When she sees her, she is petrified for a
while and says with tears in her eyes, "Do you just come back from abroad? You are getting more and
more beautiful."
Lily smiles faintly, "Yes."
Louis' mother is better than hers. She didn't directly point out that she was fat like her mother did.
She has gained weight because of the babies!
