Let's Get Married novel Chapter 337

In his thirty-odd years of existence, he has never been scared of anything since adulthood. But this time, his determination is defeated by her crystalline tears.

It is better that he hasn't spoken but as soon as he becomes gentle, her tears continue to flow until her words become mumbles.

Rex doesn't take another step further but retreats. His body couldn't react in time and he looks at the woman's naked body intensely.

He turns and takes his jacket and places it on her shoulders. The jacket is very big and is able to cover her crotch.

After doing these, he backs off and takes out a cigarette and lights it. He draws a smoke as if to use the smell to cover what had happened.

The fire which accumulated for five years cannot be doused so easily.

In the quiet room, the woman's sobs pierce onto his ears. They are not loud but they pierce right into his heart.

At this moment, someone knocks on the door and the assistant says with urgency, “Mr. Rex, Miss Lily's phone is ringing.”

Lily takes a deep breath. At this time the call shouldn't be from her office and no one from her circle of friends would call her at this hour unless it's from Ryan or Adair.

When she thinks of them, Lily feels tense again. She looks behind at him and sees him smoking with his head lowered. After a while, he walks to the door and takes her phone in.

Rex's sullen eyes notice the name on the screen, Ryan.

Rex frowns slightly and eventually gives her the phone. If he doesn't, she may cry out again.

Lily takes over the phone in a hurry, almost snatching it. She sees that Rex expresses his displeasure and flinches a bit.

In her current condition, even if Rex has any temper, he couldn't express it. He can only suppress and endure within him.

Lily grabs her clothes and walks to a corner furthest from him. She takes two deep breaths and then answers the call, “Hello?”

“Why aren't you back yet?” Ryan's voice comes through the phone. The calm voice gives her a headache and a feeling of helplessness, “Adair woke up for some water and was asking where mommy was.”

When she hears this, Lily couldn't endure and is overcome with emotions. She is worried that Ryan can sense something and forcibly endures her whimper until her face becomes red. Behind her is Rex who is staring at her with ferocious eyes. She didn't dare to say much, “Something happened tonight and I'm resolving it. Don't worry, it'll be done soon.”

“What happened?” Ryan tenses up and asks her seriously, “Is it serious?”

“Nothing, I can settle it by myself.”

“Do you need me to send someone to pick you up?” Separated by a phone, Ryan feels that something isn't right but isn't sure what it is.”

“No need, I will leave with my assistant, don't worry.” Lily can clearly feel that as she speaks, the room's temperature starts to fall and it is entirely due to the man who is smoking inside.

She quickly hangs up the call, “I'll tell you about it later, bye.”

Once the call ends, Lily quickly puts on her underwear and gown. Although the gown is in a mess, his jacket can cover a portion of it.

Once she tidies herself, Lily bumps into the eyes of Rex who is looking at her, “Boyfriend?”

His tone is more of sarcasm rather than a concern.
