Avenger's coming back

Chapter 53 Perfect Man

When Lily walked out of the hospital, Kerr's car was already waiting for her at the door. Seeing her, he opened the door of the passenger seat for her.

"Thank you, uncle Kerr." Lily said thank you to him. Then she got on the car and closed the door.

"You are welcome. Just say thank you." Kerr then started the car and left. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Lily smiled, "Uncle Kerr. I didn't expect you to be so funny."

"I can't be too rigid. It's too tired." With a smile, Kerr continued, "Your mother has prepared lunch in the manor. She said that she hasn't seen you for a long time. She wants to prepare a rich lunch. I'm not sure if I have a good appetite today. Alas..."

He sighed deliberately and glanced at Lily from the corner of his eye.

Lily knew he said it on purpose. She said in a joking tone, "Uncle Kerr, if you want to eat, just say it. I will say some good words for you in front of mom."

"Well, it seems that I have to fawn on you more."

"Uncle Kerr, you are really good."

Lily liked Kerr's humor. He was easy to get along with. Although they just knew each other for a short time, she could feel that he really treated her and her mother well. Otherwise, he would not try his best to help her. What's more, he had a crush on her mother secretly. There were few men who loved secretly these years, and he was such a successful man.

They soon arrived at the manor, where they talked and laughed along the way. Just as what Kerr had said, it was a remote place and was still in the forest in the suburbs. It gave people a feeling of slight wildness.

There were walls around the manor and towering trees could be seen outside. And inside the walls, there were two storey buildings which were also constructed in ancient times.

As soon as the car was parked, Lily couldn't wait to get off the car. Looking at the scenery in front of her, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide. The flower ground in the front yard was filled with pink roses. Pink roses stood for the first love, and most importantly, it was her mother's favorite flower!

An idea flashed through Lily's mind. She turned around and looked at Kerr who just got off the car. Just as she was about to say something, a familiar voice interrupted her. "Miss Lily, you are here. Come in."

Lily turned around and saw Uncle Colin walking towards her with a smile. "Uncle Colin, you don't have to call me Miss Lily anymore. You can just call my name."

"Okay." Colin was not unreasonable and nodded his head directly. Recently he had lost his prestige when he stayed with Tina.

"Uncle Colin, do you still hate me when I set you up and kicked you out of the Qiao family?"

"You underestimated me, didn't you? In fact, it's not bad to leave the Qiao family. It's good to be with Tina. At least I'm more freedom." Colin replied honestly.

Kerr walked over and joked when he saw them talking. "Isn't it tired for you to talk here?"

"Sizz..." Lily couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Kerr. It's you who are tired."

"My waist is aching. That's why I decided to go inside and have a rest. If you don't feel the pain, you can continue talking here." After saying that, he took a look at them and went inside first.

Lily withdrew her sight with a smile and looked at Colin. "Uncle Colin, let's go in."

"Okay." Colin nodded and said while walking, "He is a nice guy. He cares about your mother. He has been helping us since the first time we met him."

Lily nodded in agreement with Colin. She thought it would be nice for her mother to be with Kerr in the rest of her life. She was happier than living in the Qiao family. Someone had said that she would rather marry a man who loved her but not someone she loved.

As they walked into the living room, Lily opened her eyes widely. All the decorations in the room were in the vintage style. The wooden floor, the fabric sofa, the table, and the chairs were all made of solid wood.

At this time, the woman in an apron walked out, with the fresh cooked food in her hand. While walking towards the dining table, she said to them, "Wash your hands. The dinner is about to start."

"Mom..." Lily ran to her and hugged her. "I'm so lucky to have the dinner you cook."

"What are you talking about?" Tina patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go and wash your hands. The dinner is ready."

"Okay." Lily let go of her hand and turned around to the kitchen. She happened to meet Kerr who was walking out with a dish in his hand.

"Go straight and turn left." He reminded.

Without looking at him, Lily went straight to the kitchen. "It's troublesome to go to the bathroom. I can wash it in the kitchen."

"Lily, how could you be so impolite?" Seeing her behave like this, Tina taught her.

"Tina, we are at home now. Don't be too strict," "I like her character."

Hearing the conversation between the couple outside, Lily could not help but raise the corners of her mouth. This was just like what the other people said. In fact, it was not that she was impolite, but that she wanted to cry when she hugged Tina just now because she didn't want anyone to see her.

The dishes served on the table were very delicious. The whole table was full of what Lily liked to eat.

The four of them sat around the square table made of wood. Kerr raised his glass and said, "Here, let's toast for Lily's safety."

At the sight of this, everyone raised their glasses, but Lily's and Tina's cups were full of juice.

"Yeah, we should celebrate for Lily's safe," Colin said, "At the same time, it's also to celebrate the reunion of Tina and Lily."

"Thank you." Lily didn't know what else to say except for this two words. A lump came into her throat.

The four of them clinked their glasses. After drinking off the wine in their glasses, Lily and Tina drank the juice and put it down.

"In fact, I should thank Colin most." Tina turned to look at Colin and said with gratitude, "In the past few months, thank you for always accompanying me, protecting me and helping me through the hardship."

"Tina, that's what I should do." Colin's tone was full of sincerity.

"No, Colin, I really should thank you. You had been taking care of me when the An family still alive. My parents passed away when I was twelve, and it was you who took care of me when I was in the old house of the Qiao family. You also took care of me when I got married to Dillon and moved out from the old house of the Qiao family. I owe you so much."

She took up the glass at hand, poured it into the goblet beside her, and then raised it. "I propose a toast to you. Cheers!"

As soon as she finished saying that, she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. In fact, she was not good at drinking, and even a few drops of wine flowed out from the corners of her mouth. However, it didn't make her feel embarrassed, but added a bit of beauty.

Seeing her like this, Colin also held the glass and drank it up.

After she put down the glass, she poured another glass of red wine and raised it to Kerr, "by the way, Kerr, thank you for helping me and Lily these days. I'd like to propose a toast to you."

After saying that, she raised her head again to drink the wine in her glass.

Lily had no time to stop her. She could only watch her drinking.

Since she had drunk too much, of course Kerr had to drink. Seeing that Tina was still going to pour wine, he pressed her hand and advised, "Don't drink, Tina. You're not good at drinking. It's easy to get drunk."

Tina wasn't a person who liked to drink too much, but she was really happy today. "One more glass. I won't drink more. I'm so happy today. I finally reunited with my daughter and I finally find a stable residence."

"Mom..." Lily was about to stop her, but she was interrupted by the way she looked at her. "You can't stop me. Mom just drank one more glass."

Lily had no choice but to compromise. Seeing this, Kerr didn't stop. He just poured a glass of wine for her himself, only pouring a half of the wine she had just poured, which made her very unhappy.

"That's not enough. Pour more, or I'll drink it all."

"Tina, you are drunk." Kerr said helplessly.

Tina was a little drunk and her face turned red. She said in a delicate voice, "I don't. I've said it is not enough!"

It was the first time that Lily had seen her mother get drunk, and it was also the first time that she had seen her true self. She had never behaved like this in front of her father, and now she looked rather naive.

Kerr looked at her with spoil, and poured more.

After drinking three glasses of wine, Tina was indeed a little dizzy, but she still insisted that she was sober, and she didn't want to drink more. But she couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily when she was eating, let alone picking up dishes.

Lily wanted to move the chair to her side so that she could sit well, but someone moved faster than her.

Kerr sat next to Tina, held her with his left hand, and picked some food with his right hand. He knew what she wanted to eat without asking.

Seeing this cozy scene, Lily felt a little sore in her nose and her eyes also turned red. She wanted to cry but laughed. She had to admit that Kerr was a good man!

After the dinner, Lily volunteered to clear the table. Kerr naturally took the responsibility of taking care of Tina, while Colin was busy with other things. Because they moved here, some of the luggage had not been packed up.

After everything was finished, Lily found Tina's room. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard someone sobbing inside. She didn't come in, but stood at the door.

Inside the room, Kerr patted her back to soothe her. He didn't stop her crying in his arms. He knew that she had suffered a lot these years, and it was the best way to let it out.

Seeing this, Lily's eyes turned red again. She closed the door for them, silently turned around and left. Sometimes, it was better not to appear than appear.
