Let's Get Married novel Chapter 321

After childbirth, Lily tries to get back to normal life and make a living in this new country.

Thanks to her prior studying experience in Toronto, she can basically speak English without strong accent and practice daily conversation.

But what she knows is just basic knowledge, and there is still a lot for her to learn. Therefore, with the help from Ryan, she goes to college and majors in law.

With time passing, Lily is occupied with taking care of Adair as well as studying. When Ryan comes by, she also needs to attend to him. Sometimes she does part-time jobs. She doesn’t have time to think about what happened before and life just goes on this way.

Through half a year’s studying, Lily has mastered expressions which were once strange to her, and also gained deeper insights into Britain’s law.

She passes the test and gets the certificate required to be a lawyer, after which she is offered an internship at a local legal firm.

Though British here are biased against Asians, Lily holds out. At first, she does negligible jobs like running errands, buying coffee and cleaning office. Then she gets to handle some cases.

Through hard work, Lily is proving that she is not a good-for-nothing.

During two years at the law firm, she begins as an intern and finally becomes an official worker, jumping from a grass-root worker to a barrister. She has won many cases and helped a lot of people. No matter how hard it is to win a case, she never gives up. While she is gaining approval from colleagues, her salary also gets higher.

However, Lily chooses to resign now.

Her boss is a 1.9-meter-tall white man. He does a lot of body language when talking. He is habitually cranky but also takes talented people seriously. He says to her, "Lydia, you are doing a great job. I don't think you should resign. If it is the problem of salary, I am sure we can discuss it."

Smiling, Lily shakes her head and hands over the resignation, saying, “Ken, I gave it a lot of thought. I have my own plan and hope you can understand.”

Ken turns around facing the blind windows, and with hands behind his head, he scratches his hair restlessly, asking, "Why do you got to leave? I really appreciate your talent and wish you can stay."

"I know, and you have been a great boss to me. But I am afraid I have my own career plan. So sorry that I can't say yes, but I sincerely hope we will have other cooperation in the future."

Lily’s rejection comes in a straight way. She has saved some money in these two years. Though it is not much, it should be enough to support them for a while. Now it is time for her to pursue her dream. Having been in Britain for three years, she needs to make some changes.

On the day of her departure, standing at the firm’s gate, Ken hugs her and says, "I wish you a splendid future."

Lily smiles and hugs him, "Thank you and you too."

At this moment, a soft voice comes from behind, "Mummy...Mummy..."

A bit surprised, Lily looks back and sees a toddler with black hair wobbling towards her. The kid wears a light-blue T-shirt and a pair of khaki trousers. His shoes are limited edition from a famous brand. Overall, this is a cute and handsome little boy.

Feeling a strain of warmth flowing through her, Lily squats down and holds the little boy, "Be careful."

During this whole time, Lily never brings Adair here, which makes Ken a bit surprised and confused at meeting him, "And this is?"

Lily holds the boy’s hand and stands up, "This is my son, Adair."
