Let's Get Married novel Chapter 368

Bree, fearing that some neighbors would gossip, hurriedly pulls the two into the house, closes the door, and looks at the short baby in disbelief “This kid… what is he calling me?”

“Grandma!” Adair replies cleverly, “You are mommy’s mommy, so you are my grandma!”

With this one sentence, he stuns the old couple immediately. Mommy’s mommy. In other words, Lily is the mother of this child.

Looking closely at him, he really resembles her a lot.

The expressions of Harry and Bree suddenly turn complicated. They are not unhappy, but not delighted at the same time. They are in shock, but the best thing is that she comes back alive.

The four of them walk into the living room. As they get more into the house, Adair becomes curious and looks around. However, he can also sense the tense atmosphere in the air. In a low voice, he asks in Lily’s ear, “Mom, is this where you grew up?”

“Yes, you can look around, it’s okay.” Lily doesn’t want the child to join the heavy conversation, so she lets him run and play by himself. “That’s mommy’s bedroom. You can see how different it is from yours.”

“Okay!” The little boy dashes in immediately.

Bree takes a seat on the couch and holds Lily’s hand. The once generous palm is now abnormally dry and cracked. Lily is distressed, the tears that had just stopped well up again, “Mom, how have you been all these years?”

“How can this be so…” Bree raises her hand to wipe her tears. “After the accident, your father and I cried at home every day, to the point where our eyes were going blind. For some time, I had hallucinations as if I could see you when I opened my eyes…”

“I’m sorry.” Lily doesn’t know what else to say, because she is not filial. They are unfortunate to have a daughter like her.

“You’re back, we shouldn’t be talking about these useless things.” Harry interrupts Bree. It seems that his indifferent words were just because that he was distressed by the changes in the family these few years. He doesn’t want to be sad anymore. “Where have you been all these years, and what have you been doing, let us know.”

Initially, Lily explains everything that happened in the past five years, even the minor details, and including the child.

The old couple sighs after listening. For a while, they are speechless.

“So, this child is Rex and yours?” Bree asks after the long pause.

Lily nods, “Well, I left five years ago because I found out that I was pregnant. At that time, the verdict just came out and I didn’t have time to make a decision…”

“Stupid child, you are so silly!” Bree mourns her misfortunate yet feels somehow angry at her stupidity. “Does Rex know how much you have endured? Why are you so naïve?”

Lily feels heartbroken, everyone else would be thinking of the matter as a bystander, but not her parents. They will always be by her side unconditionally.

“Mum, it’s all over, I come back safely.”

Bree can’t stop her tears from falling, unable to say anything and just choking.

Harry lifts his hand to comfort his wife and looks at Lily attentively, “What are you planning to do, about this child, and about your future. Are you going to leave again?”

Lily ponders for a moment and reveals her true feelings. “Maybe we will leave, but you can rest assured that even if I leave, this time you are coming with me.”

“Your mother and I are both old. Fallen leaves always return to the roots. Knowing that you are still alive is God’s greatest gift to us. If you want to return to the UK, we will not stop you. As long as you are living a good life, that is enough.” Harry states with a calm expression, which gives her a sense of security.

In fact, parents always think about their children first, then themselves. Lily used to be ignorant and not understanding, but now that she has a child, she realizes this unique kind of affection.

“The child’s matter is the most important thing. Now that you are back, you have to make it clear to Rex that he is the father of your child. You two should have a chat.”

“I know, you don’t have to worry.” Lily is afraid that the news is too overwhelming. She doesn’t want to dampen the atmosphere any further.

However after all, Bree is older. It is inevitable for her to say a few words. She ponders for a moment, “Lily, although the child was brought up by you, in the end, you are a woman. If things don’t go well with Rex, in the future when you plan to marry, with this child, I’m afraid that you won't be able to marry that easily. I know you don’t want to listen to this kind of stuff, but this is the reality. I don’t want to see you suffer alone.”

“Mom, from the moment I gave Adair the name, I plan to be responsible for him for the rest of my life.” Lily is not upset, knowing that it is all for her own happiness.

“But…”

“Do you still have feelings for Rex?” Harry interrupts Bree, curiously.

Lily’s heart skips a beat, and she meets her father’s serious gaze. All of a sudden, Lily can’t say a word properly, “I’m not sure. I also want to sort out these unclear feelings when I come back.”

“What about that guy? What did he say?” Speaking of Rex, Harry’s facial expression turns gloomy. Rex had let down his daughter.

Embarrassed, Lily speaks, “He… wants us to get back to the past.”

At this point, Harry and Bree stop talking. Looking at each other, their expressions are slightly complicated, and they don’t know if they should persuade her.

The feelings between Lily and Rex are different from those of ordinary couples. They have experienced too much together. Some people just can’t experience that many ups and downs in a lifetime together. Now five years later, there is a child in the middle of this; it is so hard for others to understand what things are like.

“Anyway, you know very well in your heart. Your mother and I will support you.” Harry’s words are undoubtedly the best comfort.

Lily feels very grateful. It is her blessing to have such parents in this life, “Mom, Dad, thank you, Adair…”

“You don’t have to worry about Adair. Since you have already told us everything, we won’t treat him as an outsider. He is the flesh and blood of our family, and he also follows our surname. If you have any matters to attend to, you can leave him here. Your father and I will help you look after him.” As Bree talks, a smaller figure suddenly jumps out of the bedroom. It is Adair!

“Mom, your room is so small. It’s not as big as mine, and there are so many dolls. It’s so different from my room, and!” Adair seems to have discovered a great secret. An old photo is placed in front of him. “Is this how mom looked like when she was a child? Is the person next to her grandma?”

Lily glances at it. It was a photo of her before she attended elementary school. She didn’t expect him to recognize it. “Yes, that is grandma and me.”

The little kid turns his sight to look at Bree, being a sweet talker, “Grandma, you looked prettier than mommy when you were young!”

Bree hears laughter around her. It has been a long time since the house was so lively, and a kind smile appears on her face. “Of course. How else could grandma give birth to a beautiful woman like your mom?”
