Let's Get Married novel Chapter 361

Mummy’s Mum and Dad?

Adair is still a little confused regarding these two titles. ''Are they Mummy’s parents?''

''Correct.'' Lily beckons the child into her tender embrace. ''Do you want to return home to see them?'' she asks.

''Yes!'' Adair replies cheerfully. ''My classmate’s grandparents would pick them up when classes are over, but I’ve never seen my grandparents. I really want to see them, Mamma.''

The little boy raises his head and looks at her, as if he’s trying to recall something. His brow furrows and with the greatest of care he asks, ''Will I get to see my Dad when I go back?''

Adair never took it upon himself to bring this subject up with his Mother, so much so that hearing him speak in this manner brings Lily to the verge of tears.

''You want to see your Dad?'' asks Lily.

''No,'' Adair speaks quietly, constraining ardent expectation deep within his heart. ''I’m just curious, that’s all.''

How could Lily not understand it? If he didn’t want to see his Dad, Adair wouldn’t have asked. Lily knows him well. His has a stoic temperament, similar to Rex’s. He keeps everything inside. When it’s time to let it all out, it’s probably because he cannot bear it any more.

As it turns out, the child does know everything, it’s just that he didn’t know how to raise the subject with his Mother. Now he has the opportunity to discuss these things which he has kept hidden inside.

She is not qualified to be a mother. The child has grown up with only two people in his world, namely her and Ryan. Although she has given him everything she can, even much more than other mothers, there is still something missing – fatherly love.

Lily decides there and then, that no matter what will happen, this time she really must return.

…

After making her mind up, Lily tells Ryan about her decision. He doesn't say anything; instead, he just lets Lily take care of Adair and herself.

Lily goes to school to request leave from school for Adair. When everything is arranged, she sends Rex a message. Soon after, the staff from Bit Inc. calls. They say, with regards to her compensation claim and apology, they hope the matter can be settled in private.

Lawyers have already contacted Davy to discuss the matter. That same afternoon Bit. Inc’s apology is posted online and published in the papers. Davy receives exactly what he most wants and the matter is settled seamlessly.

Both praise from countless peers and a handsome fee are imminently heading Lily’s way, but she is still far from content. The resolution of the matter is mainly down to Rex, not she herself.

Lily suddenly thinks about when she first entered the industry - it was no wonder that some female lawyers were eager to sell themselves to settle a case.

For influential public figures such as Rex, those complex matters that can often break others down, are a piece of cake.

But she is still a little surprised. The man had made such as choice. Even he himself was unsure if he would go back to China. He had just pointed out an issue. Wasn’t he scared she was lying to him?

After considering the issue, Lily concludes Rex knows her well enough. If she says she’ll do something, she’ll defiantly stick to her word.

Lily spends the day packing her things. She also cleans the house from top to bottom. In the evening, she wants to share a meal with Ryan, but he tells her that he’ll not comeback tonight.

Lily knows that he doesn’t want to face the sadness of separation. She never insists on anything and simply leaves a voice message.

“Mamma, aren’t you happy we’re returning home?'' While they are eating, Adair looks at his mother sitting next to him. He is slightly confused. They will soon be meeting Daddy, but why does mummy have such as forlorn expression?
