Let's Get Married novel Chapter 366

“I did, how could there not be?” He gnashes his teeth, “Why didn’t you answer the call when I called you this morning?”

The first thing he did this morning was to give her a call. He wanted to ask her about her plans with her child but he didn’t expect his calls to be ignored for two to three times. The call was cut off when he wanted to continue explaining.

She just came back from overseas yesterday, yet she was playing this hide-and-seek game and not answered his calls? Very well.

That’s why today he specially brought forward the meeting by half an hour and completed it early so that he can rush over here.

Since she didn’t answer his calls, he’ll come directly.

“You’re stalking me?” Lily is angry about this. Whenever she thinks that someone is following her, she will feel very nervous.

Rex sneers, “What you are doing doesn’t deserve my suspicions?”

When she hears this her expression and mood change immediately. She didn’t answer the calls when she returned home because she had a lot of things to do. She had to have a look at her parents in that evening, therefore she didn’t have the time to argue with him. Now this person is blocking her way.

This is his personality. Brash, unreasonable, exactly as he was five years ago. Nothing has changed!

Following that the three adults are not eating well. Only the kid is enjoying his meal, Abby gives him some vegetables and Rex debones some fish and put them into his bowl. It is a nice meal together.

Lily eats a few mouthfuls and can’t continue. She is sulking.

The check is almost six hundred. Lily is used to paying with cash when she was overseas. She takes out her purse but Rex presents his phone for payment.

“Beep.” And the money is transferred to the restaurant’s accounts.

“Don’t need you to…”

“I’m treating the kid.” He has anticipated this and immediately interrupts.

Lily can’t continue with the sentence and can only swallow her words. She realizes that coming back to have a good discussion seems to be a wishful hope. With his current attitude, it is obvious that he wants her to give in to him.

“Where do you want to go next?” Different from her flustered attitude, he is skilled in controlling his emotions, “I’ll send you.”

“No need, Abby drove.”

“Why trouble others?” He frowns as if she doesn’t know her manners.

Lily didn’t want to be with him but when she sees that Abby is being sandwiched in between, she considers for her feelings and didn’t want to trouble her any further, “Abby, you go ahead, I’ll be going to the Red community this afternoon. Call me if there’s anything.”

“Then I’ll go back first?” says Abby.

Rex continues and thanks her, “Sorry to trouble you.”

It has been so many years since Abby heard Rex say that. At this very moment, she feels slightly … horrified.

That’s right, horrified. She isn’t used to Rex being so humble, it feels so weird.

Abby goes down to the basement carpark to get her car. The three of them remain at the entrance of the restaurant.

Lily thought of buying something for her parents but upon consideration, there doesn’t seem to be anything that they need. She left for five years and the duration was too long. She doesn’t know what is the condition of her home.

Rex detects that her mood was low and doesn’t want her to wallow in it, he says, “Let’s go!”

They take the lift to the carpark on the second basement floor. Lily follows him towards the car. What she didn’t expect is he is still driving the same Bentley as he drove five years ago.

It is as if they have traveled back in time. The images of the past and present flash alternately. Lily is distracted. He had this car since they met. The car seems to represent their past memories.

Especially when they first met, the breadth and depth of the feelings, each encounter they had was rich in feelings. How can Lily forget these?

He… does these on purpose?

Rex sees that she pauses before entering the car. It is undeniable that he did it on purpose. He intentionally drove this car today to see her reaction. But he genuinely wants to rekindle the past feelings.

Lily endeavors to suppress her feelings. She needs to remain objective and composed. She came back for the child and not to reconcile with him. They can never go back to what they were.

Rex leans over to carry up the kid and carries him into the car. His strong arms place him steadily and safely into the car.

Lily decides to sit at the front passenger seat and this time she doesn’t argue with Rex and walks over to open the car door.

He raises his eyebrow and smiles. She has learned.

On the road, they practically don’t speak. It is Adair that giggles continuously happily. He sees the street full of people with black hair and eyes and is overjoyed, “Mom, they are all like me!”

Lily reluctantly smiles, she really isn’t in the mood. When she thinks about seeing Harry and Bree in a while, she has butterflies in her stomach.

The car stops at the traffic light and he turns to look at her. He thoughtfully asks, “Have you thought of what to say when you go back afterward?”

Lily’s train of thought is interrupted and she wrings her hands, “No.”

She doesn’t know what will happen afterward. She is indeed afraid of Harry and Bree not accepting this child.

“Don’t worry, they are fine and miss you so much.” It is rare to see Rex so caring and gentle.

Lily laughs bitterly and says, “I left for five years without coming back and owe them too much. It would be acceptable if they don’t understand.”

Rex feels bad when he hears her say these. No matter what, these were their mistakes and he is responsible for part of it.

Adair sits behind and does not understand what uncle and mom were saying. He just feels that this uncle is somehow related to them and stares at him from behind.

The two of them remain silent for the rest of the journey. Their hearts are restless, especially Lily, her brain is like a lump of dough.

The car enters the Red community and stops below the apartment. Lily hasn’t come to her senses.

“Uncle, are we there yet?” The kid becomes excited.

When she hears this, she realizes that she is home. She hurriedly removed her seat belt and before she opens the door, he says assuringly, “I’ll wait here for you, call me if you need me.”

“No need.” Lily doesn’t think twice and rejects. She worries that he will be upset and apologizes, “There shouldn’t be any issues, furthermore it’s my first day back. It’s also not appropriate for you to come with me.”

“I’ll be here.”

“Rex.” Lily yells but doesn’t look at him and stares forward helplessly, “Just listen to me for once.”
