Enchanted By His Charm

Chapter 256 256: She Is Human, Not An Animal

It was getting colder in New York, and the leaves began to fall down, and the smell of autumn was in the air.

People in the metropolis had no time to smell how sweet the smell was or notice how many leaves were on the ground. They were all busy making a living and chasing their goals, but at the same time, they also lost themselves.

Jay was doing a meaningful job, and he was busy shadowing several suspects during this period. Finally, he succeeded in smashing a rich businessman's drug party and seized a great number of drugs. The people involved were rich merchants. In addition, the police station also set up a special team to wipe out drug syndicates.

That night, Jay, who had not slept for nearly four days, did not take a break and joined the interrogation process. It seemed that coffee and cigarettes had become a necessity.

When he was interrogating a suspect, one of his co-workers came in and whispered in his ear, and Jay asked very impatiently, "Who is she?" His workload and the incompatibility of the people involved in the case annoyed him.

"She said she is part of Lilith's family."

Jay was surprised and patted him, "You continue to interrogate him."

"Okay, I will."

Outside the police station, there was a coffee house with a pleasant environment. Jay often drank coffee there, so he was familiar with the layout of this coffee house. Moreover, there were not many customers there at this time, so when he went to the second floor, he saw a woman sitting there. The woman was dressed in low-key but gorgeous clothes, without exaggerated headwear or jewelry. Her hair was coiled tightly behind her head. She sat straight and had rose tea in front of her. She slowly tasted her tea, and her movements were very gentle and elegant. It was easy to tell that she was a cultured woman.

When she saw Jay, she waved at him calmly and shook hands with him, "Nice to meet you, I am Lilith's mother."

She was well maintained and looked very young, people would never expect she would have a daughter in her twenties. Lilith looked like her, but this woman's eyes were more severe.

Jay was a policeman, so he had incisive eyes and knew she was not a simple woman.

"Sit down, please," Kelly said to him.

Jay sat down, and the waiter soon served him the coffee he used to drink while Kelly just tasted her tea leisurely. When the waiter finally left, she began to talk to Jay," Mr. Lane, I'm afraid that you haven't slept for a few days, so I will get straight to the point to save time."

Jay had bleary red eyes from his lack of sleep. He took a sip of coffee and tried to talk to her gently, "Yes, please."

"You know the Lake family has conflicted with your family for many years. Of course, it has nothing to do with you and Lilith, but to avoid some unnecessary troubles, I think you'd better avoid seeing my daughter." Kelly said frankly and expressed the purpose of her visit.

Jay was smart, so he knew it was impossible for Lilith to take the initiative to confess this, and he was afraid it had something to do with Ben. Therefore, he smiled faintly and replied, "It seems that many parents like to interfere in the love affairs of their children."

Kelly did not expect he would reply like this, and she was slightly shocked, but soon she said, "I am her mother, so I will arrange a path that suits her best."

"But she is human, not an animal. She has the right to choose her own road."

"Mr. Lane, she is my daughter, so I know her very well." Though she still spoke slowly, her tone became sharper. She added, "What she wants is a simple but happy life, and many men could give her this, but not you. Of course, I do not deny your moral standing, but I'm not okay with your job since it is very dangerous. I don't want Lilith to worry about you daily."

Jay didn't respond as if he was pondering.

Kelly then continued, "She is still young, so she is still in the stage of blindly longing for love. Mr. Lane, to be honest, you are really attractive since you are tall and handsome and have the rich experience of capturing drug smugglers. You have many achievements at such a young age, so Lilith would naturally be obsessed with you, especially in your police uniform, bringing a sense of safety to young girls. But she has never experienced any hardship in her life, and that's why she believes that love is always beautiful. Jay, if you love her, I think you'd better get rid of her. You know how dangerous your work is, and you're in contact with drug smugglers every day, so you can't ensure that you won't bring risk to Lilith." Kelly said in a reasonable tone and added, "I will never allow her to have business connections through marriage to benefit our family, but I want her to get married to someone who has an ordinary job that could bring her happiness. Obviously, you are not such a man."

Jay clenched his coffee cup and frowned tightly.

"Unless you give up your present job." Looking at the tired man who was completely overloaded by work, Kelly sighed helplessly. She was not a woman with an icy heart, and she had to take care of this since he was a man who her daughter loved deeply. She had seen Jay's photo before, but it turned out he was even more handsome than in the photo. It was easy to tell that he was a brilliant man, no wonder Lilith loved him so much. Perhaps, there were still many other girls who would be obsessed with him.

Hearing this, Jay looked up at Kelly and said, "Give up my present job?"

"Yes, if you are willing to give up your present job, then I may agree for you to be with each other." Kelly was finally moved with compassion because she believed that she had a good judge of his character and he was a responsible man.
