Let's Get Married novel Chapter 212

Marina does not know how she comes out of the bedroom, only that she is humiliated. She is kicked out by Rex. Yes, kicked out. She sees the disgusting word in his mind.

He hates to sleep with her.

This fact is like pulling her into an icehouse, right at this moment, she just clearly realizes how different she is from Lily in Rex’s eyes.

Is there only her in his eyes?

Marina laughs. Okay then, let’s see. If her gentleness and patience do not make him change his mind, don’t blame her for being cruel!

….

By staying back at her home, when Lily wakes up the next day, there is something wrong in her eyes. Maybe she has not come back for a long time, which makes her feel the bed, which had been hers for more than ten years a little uncomfortable for her now.

The bed in the Villa is softer than hers. She has been used to it during this half year, and once she changes it, she feels uncomfortable.

On New Year’s Eve of the year, they should eat together. In addition to her family, there are two uncles from her father’s family. Her grandmother has a total of three sons, and Harry ranks the second. Each of them brings their relatives and family members, which form a large table of people every year.

The dinner for New Year’s Eve this year is set in a hotel nearby. It is not particularly big, but quite vivid. Since they are quite close, they go to see the dishes and buy the cake on the way.

“Two days ago, your uncle told me your cousin is coming back this year. He has stayed in the UK for two years and didn’t come back. Not to mention how impressive it is, I heard that he is even admitted to the project of Master for Economics over there.” As though thinking of something, Bree shakes her head, her tone somewhat helpless, “Your grandma has always preferred your uncle. Once the eldest son and eldest grandson are together, she must have burst with joy this year.”

Lily is aware of Bree’s condition at home for these years. She suffers a lot of grievances when she was young. When she is born, her grandma only visited her once. She then pulls her mother’s chapped hands and comforts her, “Mom, I’m here accompanying you, right?”

“Hmm.” Bree sighs, not wanting her to see the emotion in her eyes, she then turns her head to look out the window, “Your father and I have been together for so many years, it doesn’t matter.”

Lily has no idea what to say to comfort her, she could only hold Bree’s hand tightly.

……

At seven in the evening, people come to the hotel one after another. Lily waits at the door to greet some family members.

Her eldest uncle and his family comes the latest. In addition to three of them, her cousin, Ricky also brings his girlfriend over.

The girl has a very petite body, which is about one meter six. Even though her facial features are not very prominent, her skin is very white, looking quiet yet refreshing and good-looking.

Lily is a little surprised. However, she kindly welcomes them into the room. At this point, all the family members have arrived. The family banquet officially begins.

Lily’s grandfather used to be a high school teacher. Thus, he is used to speaking and making a speech. He always talks much in the family gathering. The old man is conservative. In the beginning, he was very supportive of Lily to study law. However, after she married, she looked over her work. Thus, the old man is disappointed and be more supportive to Ricky.

Now that he is admitted to the master's project and brings his girlfriend, he will naturally be happier, “Ricky is back this year, also with his girlfriend. Your grandma and I are very happy. Our family is really fortunate to have a child like you!”

After listening to it, his parents are unable to conceal their happiness and keeps on praising their son, making other people a little embarrassed.

During the banquet, the cups go gaily round. The voice in the room gradually becomes louder. Lily is always not for getting into the limelight. Thus, she quietly eats in her plate.

Finally, it is coming to the end. Bree is getting ready to send out the annual gift to the family. Some of them are brought by Rex. He really bought too much that they could not use all of them. Thus, she shares it with everyone.

When it is his eldest uncle’s family turn, Bree takes out a box of caterpillar fungus and bird’s nest. At first, it is only a good thing, but unexpectedly, her aunty glances at the package, and the expression on her face immediately changes. Even though it is a smile, still it is kind of weird, “Yo, these two are expensive, aren’t they. The friend of my son used to sell them before, it is said that they are sold in grams, more expensive than gold.”

Bree only knows that good things are not cheap; she does not clearly know the total cost. She is not a vanity person, thus, she says honestly, “I don’t know how much it is since it is sent by others. You can take them. They are good for your health; for the elderly, too.”

“Sent by others?” Her aunty rolls her eyes and picks it up, “Who sent it?”

It can be said that Lily’s marriage to Tim before is impressive. After all, Tim’s family has already regarded as ‘rich man’ for the common people. Now that she is divorced, where else can she found such good things?”

She questions it in detail, which makes Bree displeased. However, since it is the New Year, she does not show it, but replies perfunctorily, “Lily’s friend.”

Who knows, her aunty not only does not stop here, instead, there is some sourness in her words, “It doesn’t seem like an ordinary relationship. Lily indeed has ability, she is quite beautiful, even if she is divorced, still can find a good man quickly….”

Lily does not know the purpose of her saying this; maybe she is too straightforward and does not think clearly. However, no matter what it is, it does not sound very uncomfortable.

Since she enters the door, no one says about the divorce. Everyone consciously or unconsciously avoids this sensitive topic. Instead, she makes comments while mentioning it, as if it is nothing at all.

In the past, she can forget it. However, in front of Bree, Lily is a little uneasy. She gently replies, “You’ve overpraised me. I can’t compare with Ricky no matter how good I am. He has a successful degree and even has a girlfriend this year. Maybe next year he may plan for marriage.”

Upon hearing this, her aunt immediately covers her mouth and laughs out, “Not so fast, it depends on how great he can study abroad.”

Why bring the people here when it is still uncertain?

Bree has long understood what she is thinking about, and then glances faintly at the young couple, “Ricky is also mature now, he should get married soon.”

“No hurry.” Her aunt’s eyes sweep meaningfully to Lily, “Now, young people get married fast but also divorced fast. It has no harm for them to contact more and understand each other. Didn’t you think that Lily has a lot of grievances…..”

Bree’s repressive heart has finally ignited because of this sentence. Even if her child, her daughter has a bad life, she can say it. What qualification did she have to crusade against?

“Sister, I don’t like your words. Why do you think that Lily has been aggravated? Divorce is quite common now. It’s a choice made by their own. Moreover, now Lily has a new beginning. Why do you upset her?”
