Please Go Away, Mr. Smith!
Please Go Away, Mr Smith! – Chapter 473: Mom, Where Have You Been

Marcus picked him up at the airport.

That night, Amber, Fu He, Marcus and Lu Yi dined out.

In the most famous western restaurant in Los Angeles, Amber was in a long pink chiffon dress. It had been a very long time since Lu Yi saw her. She was rarely dressed up like this. Lu Yi found her amazing.

After they were seated, Marcus said jokingly, “I poached two directors of the Smith Group. I guess Sean will hate me.”

Amber’s expression remained unchanged, and she whispered, “Sean is not that narrow-minded, but his subordinates might be. If the Smith Group depresses the White Group on purpose, we will not be scared. We will slowly develop our subsidiary company in Los Angeles and find an opportunity to move the company’s main part over.”

Lu Yi nodded.

In fact, Marcus was not afraid of Sean’s revenge. Lu Yi was Sean’s cousin. If Sean really tried to get back at him, someone would naturally intercede at that time.

Amber smiled, and whispered to Lu Yi, “The White Group has different operating models and is engaged in different businesses. I guess you have to fit yourself into the new environment.”

“Think of it as a breakthrough in self-realization.”

Lu Yi smiled indifferently, “I’m already very grateful that you two are willing to work with me.”

After dinner, Amber drove Lu Yi to the hotel, “You can get over your jet lag and find a house in the next two days. Then you’ll see me at the company the day after tomorrow, okay?”

“No problem. Be safe on the way back.”

Amber nodded.

When she got home, it was late, but Cindy was still up.

When she stood at the door changing her shoes, she saw Marcus talking to Cindy. He was probably trying to get Cindy to bed.

Cindy insisted on waiting for her.

Amber walked to Cindy’s side, and picked her up. Cindy’s leg almost recovered. She could already walk but could not exercise strenuously.

Cindy curled up in Amber’s arms and asked her, “Mom, where have you been?”

“I went to pick up Lu Yi. He will work with me in Los Angeles. Are you happy for that?”

Cindy’s eyes changed. Amber didn’t notice that. Cindy curled her l*p and said softly, “Mom, does uncle Lu want to pursue you?”

Amber froze. She didn’t expect that Cindy would ask this.

She was only three years old. Why would she care about that?

Amber looked back at Marcus subconsciously. Marcus was eating an apple. When he raised his head and met Amber’s eyes, he said in an aggrieved tone, “No…no, sister, I didn’t teach her that!”

“Who else will it be? Would it be Mr. Fu?”

Marcus chuckled and begged for mercy, “I saw Lu Yi’s tender eyes when he looked at you. His conditions are not bad! Although he is not as rich as Sean, there is no vicious woman like Lin Man around him, right?”

“Sister, why don’t you think about being with him? He is here for you.”

Amber frowned and glared at Marcus “What nonsense, stop talking about that in front of my daughter!”

Marcus scratched his head.

“Fine, fine, since you are back, I will go back to my room, good night.”

Amber had a headache.

Amber took Cindy back to the room. Cindy obediently slept in the bed and asked her, “Mom, do you really want Uncle Lu to be my stepdad?”

Stepdad?

Amber was shocked.

The little girl actually knew this word!

“Don’t think so much. He won’t be your stepdad.”

Lu Yi was Sean’s cousin. If she married Lu Yi, Mrs. Smith might think that she was going to take possession of the Smith Group with Lu Yi.

Amber did not intend to get involved with the Smith family again.

“Mom, don’t you like Uncle Lu?”

Amber looked at her daughter. She stared at her with big eyes, as if waiting for her answer.

Cindy inherited the good features of Sean and Amber.

She had Sean’s deep and dark eyes and Amber’s red lips. Amber would answer whatever she asked.

But this one…

Amber didn’t know how to answer.

Did she like Lu Yi?

In the past eleven years, the only man she loved was Sean. She never had a crush on Lu Yi.

But if it weren’t for Lu Yi, she would have died in the bedroom of the Smiths’ mansion three years ago.

Lu Yi saved her in the landslide and fire…

She owed him too much.

Telling Cindy directly that she didn’t like him would make her sound ungrateful.

Amber sighed and asked in a low voice, “Do you like Uncle Lu?”

After hesitating, she nodded, “Uncle Lu is nice. He will take me to the hospital when I’m sick. I like him.”

“Yes, I also like him.”

Cindy paused, then asked, “Mom, do you still like Dad?”

“Still?”

Cindy nodded, “Mom, you said two people who liked each other could get married. Didn’t you marry dad because you liked him?”

Yes!

But love was illusory and couldn’t be grasped at all.

Eleven years ago, Sean said that he liked her, but he forgot what he said quickly!

“I and dad stopped liking each other a long time ago, and if it weren’t for you, we probably would have divorced long ago.”

Cindy paused and kept silent.

Amber knew that her words might have hurt her daughter’s fragile heart, but she didn’t want to hear Cindy ask Sean again when he would marry her.

It was so embarrassing!

It was like telling Sean she couldn’t live without him.

She brought up the divorce. If Cindy asked that again, Sean might think she was shameless.

Since it was impossible for them to remarry, she should stop Cindy from mentioning it.

“Cindy, look. Although he is your father, you can’t interfere in his private affairs.”

“I told you before we came here that your father is going to marry Lin Man, so you can’t ask him if he can be with me, if he can take you home, or ask him not to marry Lin Man.”
