Let's Get Married novel Chapter 195

Lily is speechless for a while before saying, “Maybe on myself.”

After it, she adds in, “Not to mention Marina’s condition, your family does not accept me. I have too many scandals, and there are also many obstacles between us.”

Even though these obstacles are invisible and unreachable, they are always pressing on Lily’s heart.

Thus, she does not have much confidence in herself. Even she herself thinks that she does not worth Rex.

This man is very excellent. The more she spends time with him, the more she feels his warmth and sincerity. There is also rare pureness, which cannot be seen by a successful person.

“Don’t belittle yourself.” Rex knows that she is burdened, but little did he expect that is in a great extent, “I’m not born silver spoon. I have the right to decide my life. I have enough power to choose who to spend my life with. Marina and my family will not be a problem, you’re the one who is significant, do you understand?”

This kind of word, he has told her before. However, just because of this, Lily being pressured more. She does not want to cause a bad influence on Rex and does not want him to fight with his family. She is even wondering whether his family knows about Marina’s existence, and….

Lily shakes her head, interrupting this awful thought.

“Lily?” Rex calls her when he sees her dazing off.

Lily comes back to her sense and pulls a slightly strong-looking smile, “It’s fine. Maybe my feeling for you is getting deeper and deeper that it is inevitable to think of it. You can rest assured, I will resolve my emotions.”

Rex stares at her dodging emotions in her eyes, knowing that she is upset, but does not continue to force her. He only holds onto the side of her face, “If you’re unhappy, tell me, okay?”

“Okay.”

“Also.” He leans down to stare at her, as though there is a frost forming on his eyebrows, he answers firmly with his town, “We will not break up.”

He cannot imagine falling for other people other than Lily. For him, love is too extravagant. It is too extravagant that all of it have given to her, there is nothing left even if he wants to give it to others.

He wants to put all his attention on her. The feeling of being assured and being recognized, he needs it too much.

His gaze is too scorching that Lily can feel it. He is too straightforward and decisive that he slaps every word to her head.

Lily nods with red eyes, and then snuggles into his warm arms, wishing to be like this forever. He has done so much for her and also changes so much for her. Thus, she must be more determined.

…..

As the days pass, since the last conflict over the pajamas, Marina is quite polite to Lily. She does not do any annoying things and occasionally takes an initiative to fawn on Rex. However, it is not too much, she can still endure.

Fortunately, these days, her condition does not continue to worsen. There is also no more self-harm behavior as before. George said that family life gives her warmth and support. Whether it is true or not, no one knows. It only can be said that the result is good.

As the New Year is approaching, the company’s affairs are arduous. Even Lily has to work overtime for several times, let alone Rex. More than half of twenty hours a day is used for work, only five or six hours are left for sleep. For these reasons, he has lost a certain weight.

Seeing that every house is decorated in New Year’s vibe, Lily could not help but want to decorate too. Coincidentally, Bree calls her off to buy some new year’s goods together. In addition for unwillingness to meet Marina at home, she agrees.

The two go to a supermarket nearby. Everything is available there. Half-month to go before the Chinese New Year, every corner is covered in Red.

Bree and Harry have always lived here. They are very familiar with the merchants here. Thus, as soon as they walk into the old store, they hear an exaggerated voice, “Hey, it’s been a while. Is this your daughter? She’s still so gorgeous!”

Lily is embarrassed and quickly waves her hand, then walks aside to choose New Year couplets.

Bree is catching up with her old friend, while Lily finds a pair of fancy New Year couplets. Its vertical couplets state ‘Winter ends in a splendid mountain and river landscape, Spring starts from fragrant peach and plum blossom’, while the horizontal one is: New Year Best Luck.

Compared with those old words like ringing out the old year and ushering in the new one, these sentences are not so tacky. She picks it up and gestures it, imagines how the couplets will look if it is plastered in the entrance of the Villa.

At a glance, she picks up a few red stickers in various styles, which can be posted in a different spot. Moreover, she chooses a red lantern, which will be hanging nicely next to the door.

After wandering for a while, when the bag that she brings has almost full, she takes it to the boss, “Auntie, how much are these?”

The lady boss is chatting with Bree happily. She glances at the stack of things in her hand and smiles, and then says, “Why do you buy so much? Are you going to plaster it at home?”

Lily answers a little embarrassedly, “Besides at my home, it is also for my friend’s house, I just buy it together.”

Friend? Who sends New Year couplets for a friend?

This aunty is an experienced person and instantly understands it. Her smile is even wider and looks at Bree, “Your daughter is really gorgeous. There must be a lot of men queuing to chase after her. Which young man is lucky enough to get your girl?”

This aunty is a sweet-talker, yet does not make people flatter. In fact, everyone knows about Lily’s divorce. Many people talk behind her back, saying that who will want her anymore and others. Even though Bree does not show it, she is still upset.

Hearing this sentence, even though her mouth is very humble, her face has already burst with joy, “Don’t flatter me anymore!”

“What, this is the truth…”

After chatting for a while, they finally leave. Bree then pulls her hand and asks her, “Are you buying these things for that child called Rex?”

Lily knows that she has nowhere to escape and nods perfunctorily, “Well, I simply buy it together.”

“Buy it together?” Bree glares at her mockingly, “Do you think I’m stupid.”

“You’re not stupid, you’re the smartest. Nobody in the world can compare with your ingenuity and intelligence. So, Madam Bree, can you spare me now?”

“Hey, look at you!” Bree is speechless, she then raises her arms to pat her arm, “I will not spare you. Shouldn’t you tell us about this?”

“Oh, mom~” Lily bents down, rubbing her head to her shoulder, and act coquettishly while explaining, “Wait till that time and I’ll introduce him to you, okay?”

“Are you serious?”

“Why should I lie to you!”

“Okay then.” Bree feels much better now. “You’ve had great trouble with Tim before. And, now that you’re with Rex, your dad and I afraid that you’ll suffer again. But still, it’s up to you. If you’re willing, you can share it with your mom.”

By listening to it, Lily is touched. In fact, they have changed so much these days. Before, Bree always involves her feelings and life. Now, she respects her own idea more.

“Mom…” Lily puckers her mouth, could not help but bring a crying tone, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Bree looks away and pats the back of her hand, “Enough, it’s New Year, we have to be happy. Let’s go, let’s go to Billy’s store and buy some dry food.”

It is almost one o’clock in the afternoon when they are back. Harry cooks a fish and waits for them to come back. When he sees a lot of stuff, he immediately carries it to the kitchen and living room.

When Lily has just put it down, the phone in her pocket rings in time. She takes it out and learns that it is Rex.

She glances at the kitchen and sees that Bree and Harry are busy. Thus, she quietly slips back into the room and carefully answers it, “Hello?”

“Have you finished hauling?” The man’s clear voice comes through the phone, which is so low that makes her could not help but leans closer to the phone.
