Chapter 199: Chapter 189: Devoting Oneself
Translator: 549690339
Daisy Zane watched as a sunny girl turned into a pale-faced, motionless, and miserable miss who couldnāt stand up straight.
She looked at the flower in her hand and thought: āOr maybeā¦ā
Before she could finish her sentence, a voice rang out behind them: āWhat are you two doing?ā
It was Kevin Clarkās voice.
Lily Parker shuddered in fright.
Daisy Zane felt that if she hadnāt held onto her, Lily could have shuddered herself right into the pond.
Kevin Clark saw the two of them not moving, so he walked over.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Lily glanced at Daisy, her eyes full of apology. She then hid her hand behind her back and straightened up. āThird Uncle,ā she greeted him, smiling.
Kevin looked at her ingratiating smile and ignored her, turning his gaze to Daisy Zane.
Daisy didnāt understand the meaning of her expression temporarily, so she also stood up straight and looked at Kevin Clark without saying anything.
āWhatās wrong?ā
āNoā¦ā Daisy tried to move forward but was stopped by Lily.
Daisy looked at her and saw her move to her side, pressing her arm against herself and squeezing it behind her back.
Then Lily stuffed the lotus in her hand from behind her back to Daisyās.
Daisy Zane instantly understood why Lily had given her an apologetic look earlier.
After Lily handed her the lotus flower, she distanced herself and smiled imploringly.
Clutching the lotus flower, Daisy stood with her hands behind her back, expressionless but secretly thinking about the five-digit sum of money.
Lily smiled and introduced Daisy: āThird Uncle, let me introduce you. This is Daisy Zane, a superstar. Brother Xavier Dominic brought her.ā
Kevin Clark glanced at her and said nothing.
āThird Uncle, how did you come here?ā asked Lily, taking a few steps closer to him. āIāve been practicing hard lately, and my progress has been huge. Youāre here at home, so why donāt you give me some guidance? Letās go to the practice room.ā
āWatch you practice in the heat of noon? How can I eat after that?ā
Lily: āā¦ā¦Iām not as bad as you say.ā
āDonāt you know if youāre bad or not?ā
Lily pouted and said, āLetās have lunch first then, and after that, you can watch me. Sister Lucia is waiting for Brother Xavier, so weāll go first. Youāre scaring her with your fierceness.ā freew(e)bnove(l)
āWait for Allonzo Hobson?ā Kevin Clark looked at Daisy Zane and asked, āWhatās wrong? Did you forget who your boyfriend is after one sleep?ā Daisy Zane: .
āWhat boyfriend? Sheās Brother Xavierās friend, and Brother Xavier doesnāt even like girls.ā Lily grabbed Kevinās sleeve, urging, āLetās go, Third Uncle, youāve scared her.ā
Kevin Clark pulled his sleeve out of her hand and said calmly, āMen and women should not give or receive things, donāt touch other people, my girlfriend wonāt be happy about it.ā Daisy Zane: . āYour girlfriend is not here.ā
Kevin Clark:
Kevin looked at his silly niece and walked over to Daisy. āSheās not always this clueless. Our family genes are pretty good.ā
Daisy looked at him, silently and expressionlessly.
āWhatās wrong? Did she bully you?ā Kevin reached out and rubbed her face.
āAh!ā Lily finally reacted, covering her mouth immediately after yelling. She looked at the two of them in terror.
āWhatās behind you?ā Kevin asked.
Daisy touched the lotus stem and thought for a moment. āIfā¦ I mean, if someone destroyed your most precious thing, and they could only compensate with money, would you agree to let them bargain?ā
Kevin raised his eyebrows and looked behind her. āI would agree if she gives herself to me in exchange.ā
Daisy Zane: .
Kevin Clark gasped as he listened in.
Arthur North took another step towards her, lowered his head and said, āNo need to give money, just offer your body in exchange. Plus, thereās a betrothal gift. Isnāt that a great deal?ā
Daisy looked at his smile, knowing that he must have guessed what she did. She directly took out the broken Lotus and threw it into his arms, boldly saying, āName your price.ā
Arthur caught the Lotus, took a look at it, and smiled as he pinched her cheek, āItās not worth much, donāt worry.ā
āAh?ā Kevin couldnāt believe what he had just heard.
If he hadnāt touched a Lotus before and lost all his New Yearās money he had saved up for three years, he would have really believed Arthurās words.
āDo you like it?ā asked Arthur, āThere are many more of different varieties over there. You can pick a few more to make dried flowers.ā
Kevin felt like he was listening to nonsense.
The pool full of Lotuses was precious in other peopleās hands, but it became worthless in his wifeās hands!
Pick a few more!
Have you considered the feelings of the Lotus?!
Have you considered his feelings?!
Itās not like youāre giving away the Lotus for someone else to raise and die, but youāre insinuating that they should pay for it!
Kevinās anger made his eyebrows stand on end.
But the moment Arthur turned around, his face immediately turned into a smile as he obediently called out, āThird Uncle.ā
Arthur looked at Kevin and said, āI wonāt pursue how the flower broke today. You should know for whose sake is this.ā
Kevin obediently nodded and said, āI know itās for Auntie. Thank you, Auntie.ā Daisy Zane: .
Arthur was delighted by her calling him āAuntie.ā He said, āHmm, Iāll come to check your martial arts practice some other day.ā Kevinās mouth twitched. He eventually managed to say, āā¦Okay.ā
āLeave now,ā Arthur ordered without any courtesy.
ā Kevin was speechless but could only smile and say, āOkay. Goodbye, Third
Uncle, goodbye Auntie.ā
He quickly left after saying it.
āIs it hot?ā Arthur asked Daisy, noticing a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
āItās alright.ā
āLetās go back first,ā Arthur said, āIāll bring you back here when itās cooler in the afternoon.ā
āOkay.ā
As they walked back, Arthur held the Lotus behind his back with one hand and held Daisyās hand with the other.
Both of their footsteps were slow, leisurely strolling along the corridor. It was as if they were merging into a picturesque scene with the surrounding landscape.
Green leaves and pure lotus, a beautiful woman walking gracefully. āAfter lunch, Iāll take you to meet a few people,ā Arthur said.
āHmm?ā
āYesterday, Enamel Cannon went to save Olivia Lane. He found several bottles of 319,ā Arthur said, āIt was dug up in the courtyard.ā
āDid they question those few people?ā
āEnamel Cannonās men questioned them, but they didnāt get any useful information,ā Arthur said, āAccording to Enamel Cannon, they donāt seem like ordinary small fries who know nothing.ā
Daisyās expression dimmed.
Arthurās Second Uncle Peterā¦ He wouldnāt be working with Edward Kirstenās people, would he?
āAfter lunch, Iāll take you to take a look too.ā
āOkay..ā
