Let's Get Married novel Chapter 386

Ryan, looking at the pale-faced woman by his feet, helps her up onto the sofa beside. He has already understood quite well, "Did Rex take away the child?"

"Yeah."

The security and anti-thief door of the apartment are highly safe, but even so, it still hasn't stopped that terrifying man.

He keeps messing with her scoundrelly. What's more, there's Pehry by his side. It's as easy as pie if he wants to do that. Besides, they two are together tonight; it can't be more convenient than that.

Lily has been wary and cautious already, but now she's more suspended without seeing her child. She takes over the phone hastily, "Let's call the police."

Ryan holds down her hand. He's much steadier in contrast to her panic state, "Save it. It's J City, not the UK."

Lily can't bear this anymore and raises her voice, "But my child is taken away. There must be someone to call!"

"As long as Rex says he's the father of the child, it won't work no matter whom you call." Ryan lays bare the truth.

An impartial judge would find it hard to settle a family quarrel. As far as these things are concerned, even police can't easily enforce the law.

Besides, J City is neither too big nor too small. Connections are everywhere. Rex, with his power in the city, poses great influence. Who could arrest him even if he has committed that?

This moment seems particularly helpless.

Lilly, looking at the empty house, tries to picture that 20 minutes ago her child was still sleeping soundly and waiting for her to come home. 20 minutes later, everything is gone.

She finally sees it first-hand this man's cruel means, his superciliousness and impunity. He only needs to move his pinky to get what he wants, and she has no say in this.

"Don't panic yet. Rex took your child, but at least he won't hurt him. You can rest assured about his safety." Ryan hasn't expected him to be so heartless, and he can only say something comforting to Lily.

That is true. There won't be a problem on safety.

But what about how the child feels?

"Adair got to know he's the father just now. It must be hard for Adair to get used to it since he was suddenly taken away. He's reserved and too scared to say it..." Lilly loses her voice as she goes on. Just the thought alone drills her heart.

"I'll contain him with something from the company later. Leave it to me, and you'll soon see you child, okay?" Ryan has made some preparations before coming. They're all playing with capitals. Let's see who is cleaner. Amongst thousands of intertwined relations, there must be one to keep him in check.

Lily's fist grips so tightly that her fingernails cut into her palm unconsciously. She is now feeling exactly like a mother who lost her child. Though she knows her child must be with Rex, she cannot relax at all.

But what could she do other than telling herself continuously to be calm? If she couldn't keep calm, how is she going to handle the child's situation?

Lily takes a wet tissue and puts it on her neck artery and feels a bit calmer as she thinks. "I'll go to him myself tomorrow. Let's see how long he's going to hide my child."

Ryan feels worry leaving her alone, "Leave it to me, please. You can't make it like this."

"No." Lily shakes her head, with a trace of determination in her eyes. It is that man who pushes her to confront it by herself, "This is between me and him. I must be the one to decide. He wants to push me? Fine, I'll play along!"

...

On the other side, half past 10 at night, on a large size bed in the master bedroom of the Villa, sits two persons - an adult and a child are staring at each other face to face. It is quite a funny scene.

Rex looks at the little devil opposite to him. Although he is only 4 and a half years old, the child is seemingly more mature than his peers, whose glance feels almost judgmental. His big round eyes stare at him straightforwardly, his tiny nose wrinkles subtly, and lips puckers in vigilance; this looks too much like him.

Rex thinks it gets funnier the longer he looks, feeling amazed by genes but showing no expression on his face so as not to embarrass the little boy.

He's being very serious. Bursting into laughter would seem awful.

So, they stare at each other for a while. But children have lesser willpower than adult after all. With a cold tone, he says, "Uncle, have you told my mother when you took me here from my home? She would be worrying for me if she doesn't know."

Uncle?

Due to this address, Rex frowns a little. Did the child feel awkward calling him daddy, or did he say that intentionally?

No matter what the reason is, he has to accept it.

Matured man has great temperament. He answers nicely, "Your mother knows you're here with me."

"Really?" The doubtful child reaches out his tiny, tender hand, "Then I want to borrow your phone and talk to my mom!"

Huh, this kid is not stupid at all. He knew to ask the question first then demand the phone later. Isn't it going to embarrass him?

But Rex is not anybody. After so many big scenes, a little kid will not trouble him.

Therefore, he ill-intentionally raises his wrist and glances at his watch, "You see, it's 10 o'clock already. Your mommy must be tired and sleeping after a whole day of work. Calling her now will disrupt her rest."

After telling him, he patiently looks at the expression of the child. Seeing his contemplating look, he promptly follows with another suggest, "How about this? You go to bed now, and when you wake up tomorrow, uncle will let you call your mommy, okay?"

The child goes quiet and looks down like he's thinking with a serious expression. After thinking for a while, he thinks it is doable but still doesn't trust Rex, "But what if you change your mind tomorrow morning?"

"Uncle won't change my mind." Rex says with a reliable tone. After all he has no intention to lie to him. It is in his estimation that Lily's maximum tolerance will be reached tomorrow.

Adair does not buy it though. His tiny lips purse and open, letting out a weakened voice, "But I don't trust you."

This phrase comes out in a more depressing mood than anything he has said earlier. Although Rex has put in so much effort making him follow and taken blows from his doubting, this time Rex clearly feels the shift in his emotions.

As the father of the child, he understands perfectly why.

He indeed doesn't trust him, not only because he has taken him from the apartment, but also because his disappearance for all these years and the lack of care for the mother and child.

This unembellished phrase certainly strikes him as a censure.

The smile beneath Rex' eyes fades into guilt, heartache, and most of all, affection. He reaches to the child's fluffy head, unworried of being shunned, with an utmost patience and tenderness he says, "I know, but uncle will keep my promise. Give uncle a chance okay?"
