Let's Get Married novel Chapter 245

“Is it because of Marina?” Rex takes a step forward, finally reducing their distance and stretches out to take the petite woman in his arms, then sighs, “Lily, give me some more time, I’ll deal with it.”

“It’s not like I didn’t give you. It’s too late now.” She can feel his body temperature. She used to be greedy of it, and now, it is already a torment for her to push away, “My parents won’t let me stay with you either. Rex, let’s calm down, your family will not agree either.”

She once thought that these problems could be overcome. Now, it seems to be impossible.

The man’s throat rolls twice, his voice is very hoarse, “I can’t live without you.”

He is deeply in love with her. Now, it is too late for him to suddenly stop it. That feelings of crazily missing her will devour him.

“You can only make me suffer with you.”

“I’ve said before, I won’t let this happen again.”

“How can you guarantee it? You want me to believe you or believe in Marina’s appearance? It’s my dad this time, will it be my mom next time?” She says with surging emotion, desperately struggling to get out of his arms.

Rex tightens his arms, preventing her to leave any step. Alcohol does not make him drunk, but it makes people have the urge and courage to tell the truth, “I can’t fall in love with anyone except you.”

His love is too scarce. Now that he has given her all his enthusiasm that has accumulated for so long, there is no more redundant for others.

Lily is like a beam of light shining into his dark life. If this beam of light is removed, there will be no more in the future. Thus, no matter what, he must seize it.

Like a drowning man clutching at the last straw, he is also keeping this girl who gives him countless warmth.

Lily stops moving because of this sentence. After all, she has deeply loved this man before, it is impossible she has no feeling to him. However… she must stay calm.

“Rex, it is better to get over it than prolong your agony. Let’s end this and live our own way of life.”

“If you leave me, I won’t have any way.” Rex finally lets her go and raises his hand on her delicate cheek, “I’ve been criticized, betrayed, even left by countless people before and I’ve survived. You’re the only hurdle I can’t get through. I don’t know how to make you less painful. But letting you go, it’s impossible.”

He says the last words cruelly yet heavily as if by stressing it, it could change everything.

Lily gently closes her eyes, her heart is in a mess, “What’s the point of forcing me to stay?”

“Even if it’s just looking at you like this, I’m enough.” Before meeting Lily, he never thought that one day, he would be so addicted to a person like this. But everything quietly changed. It is too fast that he is almost unable to withdraw when he finds out.

“Rex, don’t be so selfish, okay? Have you ever thought about me? Have you ever thought how painful am I being placed between you and Marina? Since you can’t live without me, should I suffer with you?”

He could not answer, because for him, as long as Lily is by his side, all suffering is not torment. He is selfish but no matter what, he cannot speak this kind of word out.

After a moment of silence, he takes a step back and his eyes fall on the suitcase at the side of his feet, “If you insist on leaving, you may leave, but leave the luggage.”

“Why?” Lily stoops down and takes the luggage back in her hand, “If I disagree, will you arrest me in the house?”

“You know my ability, even if I didn’t restrain your freedom, you also can’t go anywhere.” He smiles briefly after that, “Lily, you know I don’t want to do this to you.”

“You said you don’t want but you do it.” Lily looks at him sadly, “You always promise you will settle everything but you never let Marina leave.”

“She will return to New Zealand once she recovers; She will not live in the villa these time, only you will in the villa.”

This evasive answer is obviously not what Lily wants, “I’m not talking about this and you know it.”

Yes, he knows, he knows what she wants. However, for him, leaving Marina is treacherous. He could not do it since he could not face her parents who died because of him.
