A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 342

However, John is running out of time.

Thinking of the stupid man who shields her from every risk, Lily can’t help but cry inside.

Soon the elevator reaches her floor.

As she walks to the room, she randomly wipes her cheek with her hands to make sure that her emotions are hidden before swiping her card into the suite.

As soon as he enters through the door, delicious smell of food hits her.

She thinks that John has ordered dinner and walks up to the dining room to find the table filled with dishes and a slender figure busy in the open kitchen.

The familiar smell and familiar dishes stuns Lily for a long time, “John, these…”

He did all this?

“Hey! You are back?” John glances at her and continues on with the work at hand.

“It’s New Year’s Eve here in country Z. Don’t you have a tradition of eating New Year’s Eve dinner? I was afraid you were tired of the food in the hotel, so I asked them to send some ingredients up and cooked myself. I don't know if it suits your taste.”

Lily’s eyes sting. She pretends to be relaxed and says, “I didn't know you could cook. Wow! It smells good. It must be delicious. I'll try it!”

Then she picks up the chopsticks.

She tastes the braised eggplant and sees John walk to the table with a soup pot and gives him a thumbs up. “It tastes really good. Looks like I'll have to call you Chef John in the future.”

Seeing that she liked it so much, John smiles a little and gave her a bowl of soup.

“Have soup before dinner.”

“Okay!”

It is Cream of Mushroom Soup, the soup is milky white, looks creamy, and smells of fresh mushrooms.

Lily takes two sips and then freezes.

This is not the first time she has tasted this soup. She is familiar with the taste and seems to have tasted it somewhere.

Lily looks at the soup in her hand and suddenly remembers that she drank it in the hotel restaurant when she went to Japan. She looks at John again, and can’t help but say, “Where did you learn to cook?”

John says, “I learned it from the chef in the manor a few years ago. Why, is it bad?”

Lily shakes her head. She already knows, and purses her lips hard, “When I went to Japan, I also had this soup in the restaurant. At that time… Did you make the soup?”

“Well, yes.” John admits it and doesn’t think it’s that important, “I like cooking. When I saw you go to the restaurant for breakfast, I went to the back kitchen and talked to the chefs.”

Lily is still holding the soup bowl, but her tears come flowing out of control.

She remembers wondering how the chef’s food tasted so good at that time. It turns out it was John’s cooking. He never left her, secretly sneaking behind her and staying with her.

Seeing her cry, John quickly puts down his napkin, wipes her tears with his fingers, and says hurriedly, “Why are you crying so much? Is it not delicious?”

Lily cries even more. She sobs, “John, don't be so nice to me… Think about yourself…”

She owes him so much, maybe everything!

Hearing her words, John breathes a sigh of relief.

He smiles and appeases her, “You’ve been running around every day to help me extend my life. I can't even help you with it. I can only cook for you. I should at least do that much. If you like this soup, I'll make it for you every day.”

“No, I don't want it!” Lily shakes her head desperately. “I want you to live well and have your own life. I am such a stupid foolish person; I am not worthy of your love.”

John wipes away her tears and says in a gentle voice, “If you like someone, you can’t measure their worth. As long as what I do makes you happy, I will be very satisfied.”

He would rather have her acted stupidly and foolishly and in this way he can keep her in captivity.

Lily holds back her tears and warns him with red eyes, “You must live a long life, live for a hundred years, so I can give you back what I owe you. I don’t like to owe to others, do you hear me?”

“Wear a down jacket!”

Lily instructs him and goes back to her room to change her clothes.

After a thick black down jacket is wrapped around her, she looks a little bloated as the jacket covered her slender figure.

Soon after, John also changes his clothes and comes out.

The down jacket makes him look even more tall and slender, with gentle eyes and an aura of a nobility.

Lily looks at him and then at herself with a sad expression, “I’m really thin, okay? How come you look more handsome when you wear a down jacket that only grandmas wear.”

John smiles warmly, his eyes fixed on her, “Why are you saying that? You look so beautiful. To be honest, I don’t want to go out anymore, for the fear that others will lust after your beauty.”

Lily blushes and coughs a little in a low voice, “Why aren’t you wearing a scarf? Won’t your neck be cold?”

“Scarf…”

“You wait, I will get it for you.”

Wanting to walk around after eating to aid in digestion, she offers to go to his room to get a scarf seeing that he is not wearing one. Before John can stop her, she is already gone.

His bedroom is the same size as hers, clean and tidy.

She doesn’t see the suitcase or his clothes in his room. Thinking that he probably put them in the closet, she opens it. In the closet, she sees a few clothes and two coats.

Does he have so few clothes?

Lily mutters and moves his clothes around to see. Inadvertently, her eyes fall on a gray scarf in the black coat that was carefully hanged. She is taken aback a bit.

This scarf… is very familiar.

She reaches out to touch it, finds the small label on the inside of the scarf and then looks at it. Her eyes widen.
