Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 172
In the kitchen, Lily was preparing fried chicken with the other servants.
“Ms. Luna, “ Lily greeted with a smile when she noticed Luna entering. “Fried chicken is so oily and
unhealthy. I don’t understand why children like it so much.“
Luna frowned and glanced at the food. Lily was right; it did look quite oily.
Luna recalled that there were some leftover ingredients in the fridge from when she made mushroom
soup last time. She took a deep breath, put on an apron, and started preparing mushroom soup.
“Ms. Luna.“ It was rare that the both of them could talk in private like this, so Lily heaved a deep sigh and
began, “Actually, Mr. Quinn…“
“Shh.“ Luna frowned and stopped her from continuing. “You’re the new maid here at Blue Bay Villa, and if
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomeone discovers the relationship between you and Malcolm, they’ll think that you’re spying for him, “
muttered Luna under her breath as she prepared the ingredients skill fully.
Lily froze at her response. Her face turned pale.
“Do you… not want to talk about him? “ Lily asked. She had worked as a maid for the Quinns in the past,
so she had witnessed firsthand the devotion that Malcolm displayed toward Luna. When Luna was still
abroad, she was not too close with Malcolm, but they still maintained a friendly relationship.
However, ever since Luna returned to Banyan City, she did not keep in touch with him that often
anymore. Whenever Lily recalled the way Malco lm stared longingly at the phone, she could not help but
feel sympathetic toward him. This man was so faithful and committed toward Luna, yet she refused to
even bring him up in conversation.
”It’s not that I don’ t want to talk about him, ” Luna explained with a frown. She lowered her voice and
continued, ”I just don’t think this is the right place to be talking about him.”
Luna changed the topic immediately after she finished her sentence. ”How much fried chicken did you
make? Don’t cook too much. It’s high in fat and calories, so we should let them have enough for only one
meal.”
Lily paused and turned away from Luna. ”Alright , noted.”
The two women continued working in silence for a while. Luna tried to move past Lily, but all of a sudden,
a drop of sizzling oil splashed out from the pot that Lily held and onto the back of Luna’s hand.
”Ouch ! ” Luna cried out in pain. She lowered her head immediately and discovered that a blister had
developed on the back of her right hand.
”Ms. Luna! ” Lily quickly turned off the stove and grabbed hold of Luna’s hand. She held Luna’s hand
under running tap water, all the while apologizing profusely. ”How could you be so clumsy?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna frowned and shot Lily a glance. ”Let this be a one-time occurrence.”
Lily froze at her words. “What do you mean?”
“You’re upset at me because I didn’t want to talk about Malcolm with you, but this is it. I won’t allow you
to take out your anger on me a second time.”
Lily’s face turned white immediately. “Ms. Luna, I don’t… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I’m not stupid. I know my way around a kitchen, and I’m sure you do, too. This is a rookie mistake. The
only plausible explanation is that you did it on purpose.”
Lily’s hand stiffened. After a split second, she lifted her hand to look at Luna. “Mr. Quinn has sacrificed so
much for you. He truly is in love with you.”
“So this is the reason you hurt me?” Luna sneered and turned off the tap. “How do you think Malcolm will
feel if he finds out you did this for him? Do you think he’d be touched?”
