It was almost evening when they arrived at the manor. As soon as they entered the manor, both of
them smelled the fragrance of the dishes. Lily couldn't wait to go to the dining room after getting off the
car.
Following her, Eric shook his head helplessly. But his eyes were full of love.
"Mother, uncle Kerr." Lily felt happy when the problem was solved.
"You're back?" At this time, Tina came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. She smiled at the two
and said, "Go and wash your hands. These are your favorite dishes."
"Thank you, aunt Tina." To be honest, he was a little hungry. After all, he hadn't eaten anything since he
was hungry last night. And today, his stomach had been crying out for food.
"Don't be so formal with me. You have been having a tough time these days. I bet you haven't had a
good meal. Let's have it tonight."
While saying, she put the dishes on the table. Tina turned to Eric and said, "I know how much you have
suffered for Lily. I want to help you, but I can only watch you in anxiety."
"I'll be fine as long as girl is safe." Eric smiled and then shifted his attention to the dishes. "Tonight's
dishes taste so good that I want to eat more."
"Okay." Tina looked at him with a smile, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.
"Don't just stand here. Go wash your hands." Wearing an apron, Kerr walked out with the stone pot. He
laughed and urged, "I have cooked chicken soup, and it's good for your health."
"Thank you, uncle Kerr." Lily said with a sweet smile.
"You're welcome. Come and have dinner after you finish washing your hands." Kerr glanced at them
with smile.
"Okay."
Lily held Eric's hand and led him to the washroom.
Tina turned around and gave Kerr a smile, "Thank you, Kerr."
"Don't be so formal with me." Kerr pretended to be angry and walked up to her, holding her hand and
said, "I should be the one who should say 'thank you' and 'thank you for giving me the chance."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Maybe I shouldn't have been so self willed and made such a
choice."
"Everyone will be young. Don't mention that. The most important thing is to live happily now." Kerr
hugged her gently and patted her on the back to comfort her. Then he released her. "Well, don't be so
moved. I should do these. Otherwise, I'm sorry for Lily's trust in me."
Tina smiled softly. After living for so many years, she had tried to keep the so-called home for a man
who didn't love her in the previous half of her life, but she was driven out in the end.
After all, she was a lucky girl who met Kerr again. Loving her was more than loving himself.
When they were having dinner, Tina kept picking up food for Eric and Lily. Seeing her like this, Kerr
picked up food for her in silence, fearing that she would only care about others and ignore herself.
The dinner was very warm. The only shortage was that Andrew hadn't come back. Since he attended
the banquet held by Angus two days ago, he had put all his energy into the cooperation project.
After the dinner, Kerr volunteered to wash the dishes and asked Tina to stay in the living room to chat
with Lily and Eric.
"Did your parents give you a hard time after we left?" Tina asked with concern.
"No, they didn't." Eric shook his head and replied, "They have already agreed to our relationship, but it
still needs some time for us to let Grandpa agree."
"I can see that they are reasonable people." Tina said, "As for your grandfather, I don't think he is really
against you being together. Perhaps he still can't get over the barrier in his heart. When he calms down
in a few days, you can say something soft to him. Today, you said that in front of so many people,
which made him lose his face."
"Yes." Eric answered in a low voice. But he suddenly remembered what Kerr had said in front of him,
and he frowned unconsciously.
"Well, it's not easy for you two." Tina sighed, "After this is over, you should focus on your study. Only
when you are independent can you ignore others."
Eric smiled helplessly. Before he met Lily, he really didn't think so much. Only after meeting her did he
realize the importance of his own ability.
"Mom, don't worry about us. You'd better live a good life with Uncle Kerr," Lily reached out her right
hand and held Tina's arm. "You and uncle are not young now. You should solve your marriage. I think
he can't."
Hearing this, Tina blushed and said, "Mind your own business."
Lily smiled and said, "Uncle Kerr said that he went there as my father today in front of the Gu family. If
you don't settle it, he will lose face."
"You are becoming more and more naughty!" Tina looked at her angrily, her ears turning red.
Seeing her mother shy like a young girl, Lily suddenly came up with a gossip idea. "Mom, did he give
you anything, such as a token of love?"
"Lily!" Tina blushed and looked at her. "If you go on asking, I'll be angry."
"Mom, it's not about being shy. If he didn't give you, I could mention it to him. We can't just let him
marry you so easy. It's so easy for him." Lily said deliberately.
"What are you talking about? Don't worry about adults. Mind your own business."
"Ah, mom, I want to know..." Lily asked in a spoiled tone.
Watching the mother and daughter chatting happily, Eric glanced in the direction of the kitchen, got up
and walked over.
Lily didn't pay attention to what Eric did. She continued to cling to Tina and said, "Tell me. As a
daughter, I should care about you."
"Lily." Looking at her daughter, she said, "The most important thing for two people to be together is
feelings, not those luxurious gifts. Without emotional foundation, life can't go on after all. You know how
much I have lived in the Qiao family in the past."
Speaking of that, the smile on Lily's face disappeared unconsciously. Suddenly, what Ellison said today
flashed through her mind.
"Mom, did you take anything important with you when you left the Qiao family?"
Hearing this question, Tina's eyebrows passed through a touch of doubt, "No, I left the Qiao family
without getting any money, and the only thing I take away is the past clothes."
With this answer, Lily frowned unconsciously. "Then Do you have anything very important or valuable?"
Tina was even more puzzled. "Lily, why do you ask me like this? I don't have anything valuable with
me."
"Lucia has been looking for you, to be exact, looking for something." Lily said honestly.
"I know." Tina replied, "Last time I met her in the hospital, she asked me. But I didn't know what she
wanted and almost fought with her. Fortunately Kerr stopped her in time."
A tinge of surprise flashed across Lily's face. She hadn't expected that Lucia had come a long time
ago, but she hadn't got the time and place to meet her. However, her mother's tone showed that she
didn't know what she wanted.
That was to say, her mother didn't have the treasure, and even she did not know what it was!
But what was it? Why did Lucia keep on?
In the kitchen.
Kerr was good at sorting things out, Eric stood behind him with his lips pursed. He had something to
say, but he didn't know how to start it.
"You've been standing here for so long. If you have something to say, just say it. It's not your style to
hem and haw." Kerr said, leaning against the closet.
Eric took a look at him and said, "Uncle Kerr, in fact, you don't have to say that to my grandfather
today."
To be honest, when he heard what he said, he was not happy, because in that way, he simply treated
Lily as a commodity, and in order to make the deal successfully, they added some invisible value to the
commodity.
"I'm not saying this for you." Kerr smiled, "I have my own selfish motives too.
"What?" There was a touch of confusion in Eric's eyes.
Kerr smiled and said, "Tina is the one I always want to care, just like the way you want to care about
Lily. But our situation is special, because both of us are having a harmonious family. Although she now
agrees to be with me, she is somewhat reserved in her heart. If I treated Lily well superficially, she will
only be away from me in the following days. So, what I can do is treat them with all my heart. I like Lily.
She's smart and sensible."
Eric knew who he mentioned, so after he heard what he said, he looked at Kerr with different eyes.
"I know that what I said to Mr. Wayne today made you a little uncomfortable." Kerr continued to say with
a smile, "No one will be happy. In fact, I'm not happy that the one I like is treated as a commodity. But I
have to do so."
"Uncle Kerr..." When his mind was seen through, an unnatural expression flashed across his face.
Kerr patted his shoulder and continued, "If you love someone, you must accept all her past and
everything around her. Since you have decided to be with her, you should cherish her. Besides, Lily
truly wants to be with you. So no matter what happens, you must try your best to be with her."
"Yes." Eric nodded his head heavily. He had already had a plan when he firmly chose Lily.
