Let's Get Married novel Chapter 327

Lily's tightens her hand under the table. She can feel there are two pairs of eyes from the opposite side staring at her.

She turns her face away not to looking at Ryan, and then says softly and unnaturally, "No, I won’t leave uncle."

"Great!" Adair claps his hands happily, and then, goes back to eat the meat on the plate.

Because of this little conversation, Lily feels a little uncomfortable afterwards. She is a little absent-minded when speaking, and most of her attention is on the little kid.

After finish eating, she coaxes Adair back to his room to play toys. Then she comes back to the kitchen to clean up the remnants.

Ryan doesn't like seeing any strangers in the house, which is similar to that man’s habit. That’s why all the cleaning things naturally become Lily’s job.

She brings the dishes and chopsticks into the sink, and is about to bend down to wash. Suddenly a hot man body covers her from behind.

"Ah!" Lily gets shocked and screams out. She quickly turns around and sees a very familiar face behind her, "You scared me to death!"

Ryan glances at the bowls and chopsticks in the sink, lowers his head closer and frowns, "You smell like hot pot."

Lily feels dumbfounded. She pushes him, "Who asks you to smell it."

"Why did you think of preparing these today?"

"Isn't it Christmas? I wanted to cook something to eat."

The man curls his lips and looks at her with a meaningful smile, "That's it?"

Lily is not good at expressing her feelings. She nods her head with a little embarrassment when he asks, "Recently, I have been too busy at work to take care of family affairs. I finally have time..."

"Lily." Ryan interrupts her with helpless smile, "Can’t you admit that you do all of these because you want to compensate me. Don’t you feel tired to find so many excuses?"

Lily's head gets even lower now with shame.

"Don’t you know that you are not good at hiding your emotions from your face except for work?" Ryan understands everything since he walks in the room seeing her being so active with housework.

Lily is annoyed by what he said, "It’s ok that you know it. Why do you say it out loud..."

"If I don't say it, I'm afraid you won't admit it." He retreats slightly, "What do you think about what Adair said today?"

Lily doesn’t know what to say when he suddenly mentions Adair. "The kid talks nonsense. It’s because he likes you with his heart, he doesn't want to be separated from you."

"Don't change the concept. What he said is that he wants you to be with me." Ryan wants to talk straight forward. "It's been five years. Even the kid wants us to be together. Do you want to do so?"

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Lily feels hot suddenly and a little bit contemptuous. She struggles to move a small step back, staying away from him.

"Okay. Do you want to run when we just start talking about it? Where can you go?" Ryan completely loses his grip. The light in the kitchen is not on, but the light in the dining room comes in. It’s not too dark, also not too bright, it is just right to say something personal. The man looks at her with tenderness in his eyes, "This is the happiest Christmas I have ever had, thanks."

Lily whispers, "You don't need to say thank you to me."

This man is not only a benefactor for her. He has done too much for her, like Harry and Bree.

Thoughts flash by; she starts thinking of Harry and Bree. It is New Year after today. She doesn’t know how they are...
