Chapter 242: Did You Follow Me?

Hearing this, Kelly was not surprised at all and fiddled with the tea set. Lilith stared at her for a while and was reassured when she saw Kelly was not angry with her. "I have to go to rest now, I am so tired after a day's work."2

After finishing this, she turned back. "If Ben is not appropriate, then I still have many other good men selected for you," Kelly added again behind her.

Lilith was astonished and turned to her, "Mom, what are you trying to tell me?"

Kelly put down the tea set in her hands but still did not look at her. "I am going to tell you, I will arrange this for you, but I don't want you to be with Jay."

"Mom!" She never expected that Kelly would know this and was shocked by her.

"You have to stay away from him," Kelly took a cup of tea and smelled it while talking to her slowly.

Lilith rushed to Kelly and sat down beside her anxiously, "Did you follow me!"

Kelly put the cup on the tea table and looked at her unpleasantly, "Do you think I need to investigate you? Ben told me what happened when you met the other night. You are really something. You hid the fact that you fell in love with Jay, and he even arrested Ben and brought him to the police station. His father called to ask me why you went on a date with him since you have a boyfriend. You are my daughter, and I didn't even know this. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Well, what's wrong with Jay? I think he's a good man," Lilith said quickly.

"If he changed his family name and had a different job, I would also think he was suitable for you."

"What's wrong with his job and his family name?"

Hearing this, Kelly stopped and said, "Is it because I spoiled you, or are you just stupid? Don't you care about the issues between our family and Jay's family? You are a member of the Lake family, so you have to avoid doing something that will cause problems. Don't you know that Jay's family hates us? Though you can get along well enough with him, his family will not treat you well."

"Mom!"

"What's more, his job is too dangerous." Kelly did not give her a chance to argue and added, "He is a policeman, and that is a job that is full of danger. Would you want to live alone for your whole life if an accident happened to him?"

"Mom, enough! The conflict between our two families is none of my business. I just know I love him, and I have to be with him," Lilith said grumpily.

"It's easy to fall in love with someone, but it's difficult to maintain that love. Why would you want to jump down into the abyss that you know what awaits you?"

"Mom, you are really pushing me."

"I am your mother, and I am doing this for your own good."

"Mom!"

"Wow, you are arguing with each other. What a surprise." Their argument was interrupted by Shirley, who had just entered the house, shooting a sarcastic look at Kelly.

At the same time, Roy came downstairs since their argument woke him up. He stretched and sat down on the couch, "Auntie, don't argue with her anymore. Think about how much she loves him. Let her be with Jay."

"You are a really good brother," Lilith immediately held Roy tightly, as if he was her liberator, and smiled.

Shirley walked to him and patted his back heavily. "Ouch! Mom, why are you hitting me? I'm not the one in love with Jay." 

His words amused Lilith.

"Darn, kids. This is all nonsense. You rarely come back, and you are always full of nonsense. Go back to sleep. This is none of your business." Shirley frowned at him. 

"Lilith is my younger sister, so I must stick up for her as her brother." Roy smiled and turned to Lilith, "Tell me that he treats you well? Is he as funny as me? He...."

"Roy, you'd better help me to persuade her to stay away from Jay as soon as possible," Kelly ignored Shirley and said to Roy with a sigh.

"Why?" Roy was confused and added, "Auntie, you must never have seen Jay before. He is a handsome and capable man and the most talented cop in his police station. I heard of his heroic deeds in Florida, and I really admire him. I think it would be good for Lilith to be with him."

Kelly frowned, and Shirley began to cause trouble beside her. "Sister, just as the old saying goes: A grown girl can't be kept at home. In my opinion, when Lilith gets married to Jay in the future, she will understand why you stopped her today." After finishing her words, Shirley laughed sarcastically and added, "After all, Mary is a famously shrewd woman. Lilith will live a hard life with them."

Kelly knew she was taking pleasure in their argument, so she squinted and said, "Why do you always poke your nose in other people's business? I believe your daughter is in big trouble now. I will not allow Lilith to have any relationship with Jay, so you'd better pray that your son will also refrain from contact with their family."

"As far as I know, Irish is the only daughter in her family, so my son will definitely not have any relationship with them unless Mary gives birth to a daughter now." Shirley laughed.

Kelly clenched her hand into a fist in anger and turned to Lilith, "You'd better not disobey me and don't contact Jay anymore."

"Mom, you can't be so unreasonable!" Lilith was outraged and rushed upstairs. Seeing this, Kelly followed her upstairs.

When everything went quiet again, Shirley smiled sarcastically and sat down on the sofa, "She deserves it. Did you see her just now? I'm really happy with that."

"Mom, Jay is a good man, and you don't get involved in it," Roy said to her, lying leisurely on the couch with his legs beside the teapot.
