Let's Get Married novel Chapter 368

Bree, fearing that some neighbors would gossip, hurriedly pulls the two into the house, closes the door, and looks at the short baby in disbelief “This kid… what is he calling me?”

“Grandma!” Adair replies cleverly, “You are mommy’s mommy, so you are my grandma!”

With this one sentence, he stuns the old couple immediately. Mommy’s mommy. In other words, Lily is the mother of this child.

Looking closely at him, he really resembles her a lot.

The expressions of Harry and Bree suddenly turn complicated. They are not unhappy, but not delighted at the same time. They are in shock, but the best thing is that she comes back alive.

The four of them walk into the living room. As they get more into the house, Adair becomes curious and looks around. However, he can also sense the tense atmosphere in the air. In a low voice, he asks in Lily’s ear, “Mom, is this where you grew up?”

“Yes, you can look around, it’s okay.” Lily doesn’t want the child to join the heavy conversation, so she lets him run and play by himself. “That’s mommy’s bedroom. You can see how different it is from yours.”

“Okay!” The little boy dashes in immediately.

Bree takes a seat on the couch and holds Lily’s hand. The once generous palm is now abnormally dry and cracked. Lily is distressed, the tears that had just stopped well up again, “Mom, how have you been all these years?”

“How can this be so…” Bree raises her hand to wipe her tears. “After the accident, your father and I cried at home every day, to the point where our eyes were going blind. For some time, I had hallucinations as if I could see you when I opened my eyes…”

“I’m sorry.” Lily doesn’t know what else to say, because she is not filial. They are unfortunate to have a daughter like her.

“You’re back, we shouldn’t be talking about these useless things.” Harry interrupts Bree. It seems that his indifferent words were just because that he was distressed by the changes in the family these few years. He doesn’t want to be sad anymore. “Where have you been all these years, and what have you been doing, let us know.”

Initially, Lily explains everything that happened in the past five years, even the minor details, and including the child.

The old couple sighs after listening. For a while, they are speechless.

“So, this child is Rex and yours?” Bree asks after the long pause.

Lily nods, “Well, I left five years ago because I found out that I was pregnant. At that time, the verdict just came out and I didn’t have time to make a decision…”

“Stupid child, you are so silly!” Bree mourns her misfortunate yet feels somehow angry at her stupidity. “Does Rex know how much you have endured? Why are you so naïve?”

Lily feels heartbroken, everyone else would be thinking of the matter as a bystander, but not her parents. They will always be by her side unconditionally.

“Mum, it’s all over, I come back safely.”

Bree can’t stop her tears from falling, unable to say anything and just choking.

Harry lifts his hand to comfort his wife and looks at Lily attentively, “What are you planning to do, about this child, and about your future. Are you going to leave again?”
