Raising My Wife novel Chapter 13

The atmosphere today was a little different, but what was different? It was hard to describe.

Or maybe Lara had a bigger smile today, or Bill went in and out more frequently today. Seeing Lara and Bill so happy, Lily was also in a good mood.

After having breakfast, she decided to relax in the garden.

The sun, which had shed its bitter side of summer, grew soft. As the garden was in full bloom, a breeze blew, mixed with the fragrance of flowers. Perhaps it was because of the variety of the flowers that the fragrance was not so strong but fresh.

Lily sat down on the bench in the pavilion and looked out of the window. The past days with her mother popped into her mind.

They also planted a lot of flowers at that time. It was not something precious. As her mother was the only one to bear the burden of life, most of them were plants, so she didn't need to take much care of them. Perhaps from that time on, Lily would know that life was not easy.

She was gentle and grateful for everything she had now.

She knew that all these were given to her by James, so she was particularly grateful.

At the thought of this, Lily's eyes darkened and were full of gloom.

A sound of a car came from a distance. Was it James coming back? Lily went out of the bower and went to the door.

When she reached the gate, the car was already inside the villa. At the same time, a man got out of the car.

The man wore a white shirt, and every button was buttoned carefully, matched with dark casual trousers. Such a simple dressing could become so perfect on him. He had always been wearing a warm smile on his face.

Different from James' occasional tenderness, this man had always been gentle. His features were not as delicate as that of James, but they were still so outstanding. Plus, he was also tall as James, so he must be very eye-catching in the crowd.

"Dad, Mom" he spoke first and his smile deepened.

At this time, Bill and Lara who rushed over from nowhere rushed up to them, looking very excited. Standing aside, Bill patted the man on his shoulder and babbled, "it's good to see you are back."

However, Lara was different. Although she tried her best to hold back her tears, she still shed them. She held the man's hands tightly with her hands, and when she opened her mouth again, she was too excited to make a sound. The man held Lara into his arms and comforted her in a soft voice, as if she was coaxing a child "all right, mom. I'm back now."

Lily guessed that the man must be the son of Bill and Lara.

At this time, the person on the driver's seat got out of the car. It was Zelda, who had been here for a few days.

"Hello, Miss Lillias." Zelda got off the car and immediately greeted Lily.

Hearing Zelda's voice, Bill and Lara restrained themselves and stepped aside.

"Hello," Lily replied.

Hearing Lily's voice, Zelda was a little embarrassed. "Oh, I almost forget my important thing, Miss Lillias. This is the teacher arranged by Mr. James. Luke is the son of Bill and Lara, who had been studying abroad before. Mr. James specially arranged Luke back, because he was afraid that Miss Lillias was unwilling to get along with strangers. "

Lily thought, 'wasn't Luke a stranger too? What's the difference?' Although she thought so, she didn't show any expression on her face.

After hearing Zelda's introduction, Luke smiled and walked up to Lily. "Nice to meet you, Miss Lillias. I'm Luke Li." On their way to the villa, Zelda had told him about Miss Lillias, the person who would spend the holiday together with him.

Lily answered obediently, "Hello, I'm Lillias."

Bill was the first one to react. "Miss Lillias, let's go in and have a chat."

"Okay." Lily certainly agreed. She wanted to put an end to this embarrassing moment.

"I'll go back to the company then, Miss Lillias. I need to report to Mr. James that I've managed to get Luke to the villa." Zelda glanced at Luke, who smiled at him and said nothing.

Lily nodded and watched Zelda drive away.

After driving for a while, Zelda dialed a number. After a few rings, the call was answered, but he did not speak. Zelda thought it was a routine and answered, "Mr. James, Luke has arrived at the villa. Miss Lillias looks normal. Should I go back to the company now or?"

James wasn't surprised at all. After a short pause, he said, "go find Cassidy. Don't leave trace." Then he hung up the phone.

Zelda got the message, skilled to complete James's order.

Lily were looking at Lara kindly asking Luke. Luke replied to her one by one. They were all trifles, but he wouldn't be too impatient.

"You've been abroad for five years. Your father and I missed you so much." The mention of this made Lara's heart ache. Tears were about to fall from her eyes again.

Bill patted Lara's shoulder and comforted, "you kid has come back, right? He went abroad not for fun, but for his further study. Don't let Miss Lillias laugh at you. "

Lara raised her hand and wiped off the tears on her face. "Yes, Luke is good now. Miss Lillias, I'm sorry. We haven't seen Luke for a long time."

"No, no," Lily immediately waved her hand. Although she didn't know how to comfort Lara, she could understand such feelings.

"Mom, since I'm back, I think I won't leave. So, we have ample time. We're not in a hurry." Luke smiled gently and patted Lara's hand. The way the father and son comfort people was exactly the same.

"It's so nice of you not to leave. We're in A City. I don't expect you to be rich or famous. I just want you to be safe and sound." Lara looked at Luke with loving eyes, which made Lily feel especially kind.

"I know. I came back this time not only to tutor Miss Lillias, but also to apply for a position of professor in A university. If possible, I will live in A City in the future." Luke said slowly about his return plan, as if to calm Lara down.

Bill nodded and looked at Lily, "that's good. Leave Miss Lillias and Luke alone for a while. You go to cook. Luke came over as soon as he got off the plane. He must be hungry now." Lara then let go of Luke's hand and went to the kitchen, along with Bill.

There was only Lily and Luke left in the living room. For a moment, no one spoke, and it was very quiet.

Luke broke the silence first. "Miss Lillias, also please take care after."

Embarrassed, she stammered, "no..."

Luke said politely, but she was taken seriously. Luke was surprised. He smiled again.

Lily's face became even redder as she saw Luke smiled. She thought that the smile on his face was so charming. If she hadn't known James first, maybe she would have been bewitched. It seemed that she had been immune to his impeccable face recently.
