Let's Get Married novel Chapter 370

“What?!” His grandfather is so stunned that he chokes on his saliva. He coughs a few times, He doesn’t drink and gives any pause; instead he immediately asks, “Wasn’t she caught by the police five years ago…”

“That was a misunderstanding.” When Rex speaks, there is no sign of panic. It is as if he has already known that she was still alive. “She has been in the United Kingdom, founded a law firm, which is doing well.”

“…” His grandparents stare at each other, totally shocked by this news.

They didn’t expect that one day Lily would come back alive and appear in Rex’s life again.

When they were so opposed to their relationship at the beginning, the two still insisted on staying together. Later, after the accident, they completely lost contact. Knowing about this news right now gives them mixed feelings.

Perhaps it is really destiny?

His grandfather chases away his inner feelings, and he frowns, “Five years ago, your grandmother and I opposed you two. Even now, we will still not allow this! That woman is fortunate to be alive now. No matter what she does, it has nothing to do with us. I will never agree to this!”

The bond between Lily and Rex is too deep. Rebuilding their relationship now will bring back too many memories. His grandfather is also very old; he just wants Rex to live a happy life of peace and stability.

But what they are not aware of is that the only person who can make Rex happy is Lily.

As if he has expected his grandfather to act in this way, Rex is unfazed. Even more so, he asks rhetorically, “Are you sure?”

His grandfather nods without hesitation, “I’m sure!”

When Rex hears this, he replies in a calm tone, “Well, then your great-grandson can’t enter the house either.”

His grandfather freezes, his health has been deteriorating over the past two years, and his ears aren’t functioning as well. He had hoped all the while that Rex would have a family of his own. He wants a great-grandchild to hug and to enjoy the joy of four generations living together.

But what did Rex say just now?

His great-grandson?

He doesn’t even have a wife, how can he have a child?

Unless…

His grandpa thinks of Lily, who had not appeared in five years. It seems that she had disappeared from the world. With a bad feeling in his heart, he questions, “How did you give me my great-grandson?”

“Lily gave birth to him.” Rex recalls Adair’s soft face, and the corners of his mouth morph into a soft arc. This is also the first time that he smiles since entering the house. “That is our child, if he is not your great-grandson then who is he?”

“…” Rex’s grandpa is completely dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Lily is back, and she even gave birth to a child.

The news is too sudden and shocking. He is having a hard time digesting this information.

But Amelia can’t sit still. “Rex, don’t blame me for being nosy. I know that you are happy that Lily is back, but after all, you haven’t seen her in five years. How do you know that he is your child?”

Rex’s grandfather comes back to his senses to agree with Amelia’s statement. “Yes, how do you know for sure? Don’t be dazzled by love!”

“That kid is around four years old, so the timeline is correct. He also looks 70% like me. If I don’t admit that he is my child, nobody else will.” Rex is not worried about this problem at all. “If you don’t believe it, you can call for a paternity test, but this will damage the relationship between you and your great-grandson. Don’t blame me for not telling you in advance if the result comes out.”

Rex has always wanted to say these words. Within these five years, his grandpa has secretly paired him up with a lot of women suitable for marriage. He has refused to show him any mercy. Now that Lily has finally returned, he doesn’t need to make any excuses. The child alone can steal his grandfather’s heart.

Obviously, Rex’s personality is also known to his grandparents. He is the kind of person that will not say anything unless it is true.

If Lily really comes back with Rex’s child, what should they do?

Rex’s grandfather has mixed feelings. He is a little sad, but he can’t deny when the word “great-grandson” pops into his mind, he is also pleasantly surprised.

Around the table there are different thoughts and feelings, a mix of joy and sorrow, but Vivian feels none of these. She feels uncomfortable. Rex is sitting next to her. She is the one who hears it the clearest. She is also the one who finds this hardest to believe.

She can’t accept that this man has a child, who is now four years old.

Four years ago, she didn’t even know him. At the time, he already had a child?

Vivian suddenly feels like she is a clown. She doesn’t know anything, and she is acting like an idiot. She doesn’t even dare to imagine what Rex thought of her when she took the initiative to flirt with him.

It must be ridiculous and pathetic.

The food was delicious. But now, it is just too hard for her to swallow. Vivian feels completely embarrassed. She doesn’t say a word for the rest of the dinner, and no one takes the initiative to talk to her. Maybe it is because that all of them feel embarrassed.

Only then does she discover that she once thought that she had been part of the family, but in fact it is just a show. There are some things that she will never know if not being told.

The awkward meal ends and Vivian is the first to excuse herself to leave. Rex’s grandfather always asks her to stay, but this time he doesn’t. He just asks the driver to send her off and reminds her to stay safe.

Rex’s grandmother sends her out, but doesn’t hold her hand like before. When Vivian gets into the vehicle, the old woman whispers, “It turned out to be like this tonight, and it made you uncomfortable. I’ll make it up to you next time.”

When an elder says such words, Vivian can’t be furious. She controls her anger, “It’s okay, you go inside first.”

After finishing her sentence, she seems to be aggrieved. Vivian lowers her head slightly and utters, “Actually, I like Rex. If he is willing to accept me, even if he really has a child, I wouldn’t mind. In this society, a successful man like him, even if he doesn’t take the initiative to do anything, there will be numerous women who want to take advantage of his fortune by marrying him. I know and I understand.”

With these few words, she has categorized Lily as the “numerous women”. Seemingly unintentional, she secretly reminds them that Lily’s giving birth to the child was something she did on purpose.

Rex’s grandmother has sorted out what had happened, but right now… is not the appropriate time to talk about this.

“You go back first. If possible, I hope you will keep this matter a secret for us. Even if it’s for the sake of you and Rex, it won’t be good to you two if it spreads out.” Rex’s grandmother knows which matter is the most important.

Vivian doesn’t want to continue the conversation, so she nods and enters the car and departs.

But she can’t help cursing in her heart. Ah old woman, you pretended not caring about anything in usual times, but this time, you thought of so many matters. When I marry into your family one day, I will make you suffer!
