Chapter 153 Three Plates of Revenge
Fine. So Simon misunderstood him–didn’t matter. What mattered was whether Simon and Lily could move their relationship forward.
Simon started serving her dish after dish….
All of which she didn’t even like.
Lily began to suspect he had some kind of grudge against her and was trying to torture her taste buds on purpose.
Still, with James sitting right there, she didn’t want to make a scene. Grinding her teeth in secret, she managed a cool, “Thanks.”
Simon flushed red.
Whenever they’d met before, Lily always lashed out at him with claws bared–this was the first time she’d ever said thank you.
She must really enjoy the food he gave her.
And maybe… she liked him serving it.
He was used to their interactions being tense and hostile, so he couldn’t bring himself to soften toward her. But since Simon insisted on serving her today, and he couldn’t exactly win a fight with his cousin, he decided he’d better give her some more food.
Yes–serving her, bringing her flowers–it wasn’t because he liked her or anything. It was all for Simon’s sake, to help him find happiness.
With that little mental justification, his awkward, prideful heart felt a bit better.
When his cousin glanced over at him, he knew James wanted him to show more enthusiasm. So he grabbed the fork again and piled nearly all of what he’d already served onto her plate.
When one plate wasn’t enough, he grabbed two more and filled those as well.
Lily stared, dumbfounded. Her.teeth ached just looking at it.
Three full plates of food. What human being could possibly eat that much?
Was he trying to poison her? Or just stuff her to death? This was clearly payback for her dumping a drink on his face the night before.
How could someone be so petty? So sneakily evil?
The more Lily thought about it, the angrier she got. But with James present, she couldn’t explode. She forced herself to keep it together, her face turning red from the effort.
James glanced down–and saw her blushing cheeks.
All that from Simon serving her breakfast?

Chapter 153 Three Plates of Revenge
She really must have a thing for Simon.
Hopefully, they’d make things official soon.
Once they got married and had kids, he’d give them a huge wedding gift!
The food Simon gave her would go straight into the trash if she didn’t eat it.
Lily hated waste, so she managed to eat a few shrimp.
Before coming downstairs, she’d actually felt pretty hungry. She thought she’d eat at least two small bowls of mashed potatoes this morning.
But this weirdo Simon was just too irritating. One look at his face, and her appetite vanished after two bites.
James noticed she barely touched her food.
His brow furrowed slightly, and a dull pressure built in his chest again.
She didn’t just like Simon–she really liked him.
Her face hadn’t stopped blushing since he walked in. Even the way she ate became delicate and demure.
Looked like he’d better start preparing that wedding gift.
“Simon, take Lily to the studio.”
Lily’s car was in the shop for repairs.
The past few days, Nancy had been having James drive her to the studio.
Wanting to give them a chance to spend time alone, James glanced at the car parked out front and casually gave the instruction after breakfast.
Simon let out a smug little humph.
It wasn’t like he wanted to drive her. He was only doing this because Simon had forced him to!
The Luke family estate was huge. It took at least ten minutes to walk from the main building to the front
gate.
Lily had planned to call a cab and just needed a ride to the gate–anyone’s car would’ve worked.
But she had a few things she wanted to say to Simon alone, so she got in his car.
She thought he’d go around to the driver’s seat–but apparently, he had a driver.
As the automatic door opened and she settled into the backseat, Simon got in, too–right beside her.
Then he shoved that massive bouquet of delicate, radiant roses into her arms. “Lily, take it.”
James‘ car was parked right next to theirs.

Just as he reached for the door, he saw Simon place the flowers in Lily’s lap.
That pale pink and soft apricot glow lit up her cheeks… but for some reason, it stung James‘ chest.
He didn’t like Lily. He was sure the strange feeling was just because the gold dust on Simon’s suit was too damm flashy.
Too bright.
He brushed the thought aside, calm as ever, and got in the car.
Wishing them everlasting happiness.
“Lily”
Lily sat frozen, staring at the enormous bouquet in her lap.
She hadn’t expected Simon to give her flowers.
The surprise was so overwhelming that when Simon called her name, it took several seconds for her to process it.
She lifted her head and looked at him in a daze, just about to ask what his deal was today–when he said:
“Last night, you went running back to John again, didn’t you? Do you have any idea how much pain you’re causing Lizzy by constantly clinging to him? Last night, she drank a lot. She cried the whole time… She’s seriously ill now. If you keep making things worse for her and her condition deteriorates–I won’t let you
off!”
