150: What Is He Really Reluctant to Part with?

Flora glanced at her, "Lizzie, Emily will be back tonight. Even though you two have never met, you are her sister-in-law after all. You must take good care of her, understand?"

"Yes, Mom, I understand." The return of the unseen Emily stirred an inexplicable unease in Lizzie's heart.

The absent Emily, who was she really? Lizzie had no clue.

"For dinner tonight, why don't you help Chaperone with the preparations? It'll be a nice gesture." Flora could hardly stand the sight of her reaping Yelun's affection without lifting a finger.

"Alright." Lizzie felt it was only right, considering they were family, despite not having met before.

"No need," Yelun interjected, "The servants can do the kitchen work. It's rare for Lizzie to visit. Why not sit and chat instead?"

Flora's insistence was a reflection of her inner discontent towards Lizzie.

Unfazed, Lizzie assured, "It's okay, Dad. Precisely because I don't visit often, I should help out."

With Lizzie's agreement, Yelun didn't press further.
