Let's Get Married novel Chapter 84

Finally, Rex sees a small ball curled up on the sofa in the living room.

He changes his shoes and tiptoes to where she is. The moonlight shines through the window and fell right on her face. The posture is a little awkward. She must have sleep uncomfortably with a phone in her hand. It is unlock, the screen is still on.

Rex pulls the phone away from her palm slowly, thinking that he just wanted to put it aside, but he accidentally looks at the screen and it transpire to be his name.

He pauses his movements and observes it closely. It is an unsent message: When are you home? I have something to show you.

The dialog box is ready, but she doesn’t send it. Did she afraid that he might notice her surprise, or did she afraid to spill the beans? Hence, she hesitates till fallen asleep and end up didn’t send it.

Picturing that image, his eyes soften instantly and half-squats to stretch out his hand to wake her up. The moment when he touches her, he suddenly changes his mind and bows to kiss her.

Even though he has done his best to be as gentle as possible, Lily still realized it. When she finds it is difficult to breath, she gradually opens her eyes to see an extremely familiar face.

Lily is startled and pushes him away, “You, are you back?”

His eyes are very deep, like obsidian shining brightly, “Yes.”

Lily is still half asleep. When she rubs her eyes, she soon realizes the balloons in the room….

Shit!

How can she forget it!

Rex observes her increasingly unnatural movements and asks, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Lily blinks embarrassedly, “I just wanted to give you a surprise…..”

But it end up in a mess.

“Other’s surprises have a backup plan, what about yours?” He is talking about the point that he didn’t go home for dinner tonight.

Speaking of which, Lily is embarrassed, “How can I know that you won’t come back.”

Otherwise, she will make a hint in advance, and find an excuse to bring him back. The significant point is, he is back now, which makes her even more embarrass.

Looking at mixture of her expression and with most of the dissipation from the old house has digested, he raises her hand to touch the top of her head, his vision is gently yet charming, “Better late than never.”

Thus, Lily watches as he walks to the dining room and sits on the seat to cut the steak that has been completely cold and put it into his mouth.

Lily follows him, “Don’t eat it, it’s too cold.”

“Hungry.” After a bowl of rice from just now, he lies without blushing.

Lily trusts him, “Then let me warm them up.”

With that, she reaches out but is blocked by Rex, “No need. It’s good.”

“You sure?”

The steak was cooked for at least two hours ago. It wasn’t only cool, but also a bit firm.

Rex nods, “Yes.”

He couldn’t bear to trouble her at this hour.

Lily, who looks at him eating willingly, doesn’t say anything. When she is blinking her eyes, she suddenly thought of the birthday gift and runs out of the kitchen just to take the box and mysteriously hands it to him, “This…. This is for you. I don’t know what you like, you don’t seem to lack of anything so I bought this, take a look at it.”

Rex looks at the big festive red packaging in front of him. After hesitating for a second, he opens it layer by layer and finally sees a pair of exquisite crystal cuff and tie.

It is the style he usually wears, and also his favorite brand. However, he usually buys the limited edition product, not the display one.

But this is a gift from her, it is more be beautiful than anything.
