Let's Get Married novel Chapter 406

Rex neither kisses nor touches her. Deliberately avoiding the area Lyndon just got his hands on, Rex gives her a bite on the left chest.

He’s not being gentle, with his teeth sinking into her skin. Lily clearly feels that there’s a cut, on her broken skin. It hurts. She cries out in pain, with tears burning behind her eyes.

Maybe it’s the ache of the cut, or maybe it’s her broken heart, that makes the tears finally roll down her cheeks. The guttural sound from her weeping is growing, but her lips clamp tightly together, and her body trembling with sobbing.

Rex tastes the blood, feeling the tremor of her body. His anger relents and he licks her wound in a tender manner.

After a while, the wound stops bleeding. He looks up, his lips having a crimson tinge - her blood’s tinge. He then asks, “Did it hurt?”

His voice is accompanied with a night wind, appearing impassive.

Lily doesn’t reply. She looks up into the dark night sky, suddenly feeling a chill, from down her spine, from down her mind.

It upsets him that she doesn’t say anything. He demands, “Tell me. Did it hurt?”

“It did.” she turns her face away, shedding tears, spilling out the answer he wants. “Yes, it did hurt. Are you satisfied now?”

Not at all.

It tears his heart apart.

But he can’t reveal his feelings. He hopes the pain would teach her a lesson and let her keep it in mind.

He could beat Lyndon up for her, regardless of any consequences. But in front of her, he still pretends to be a villain.

“Hope you’ve learned your lesson. Don’t deal with something you are not capable to deal with, especially when you are drunk in front of other men.” His words are like bullets, shooting into her heart, although he says those out of concern.

Still, the biological pain is no match for the pain in her heart. She would never ask him for help if there’s another way around, even with a slice of chance.

However, what’s done is done, regrets are simply meaningless. She has a last request.

Lily takes a deep breath, and says with a quivering voice, “I want to see my son.”

She’s always asking for her son.

Rex didn’t know that he would resent the words so much that it practically provokes him every time he hears it.

He only cares about her son.

What else does she care besides the kid?

Have she ever cared about him when he hit Lyndon for her?

Rex loosens his grip on her wrist, smiling bleakly. There’re a million things he wants to tell her, yet he couldn’t even open his mouth.

He only wants her to make the first move and stay with him. But when he saw Lyndon wrapped his arms around her, when he put her in danger, he loathed himself for not being able to protect her.

A simple word of comfort will heal him; that’s the only thing he asks for. But she didn’t say anything.

Without Rex’s physical support, Lily nearly falls to the ground. She crouches down beside him, feeling dizzy with nausea and chest distress, yet forcing herself not to make a sound.

He hasn’t replied to her request.

Lily’s waiting.

Sadly, the answer she wants never comes.

Rex hears a sound around the street corner, a familiar voice. Obviously, it’s Pehry and his guys.

He moves to plant himself in front of her, facing the street corner area. The glaring bright white headlight blurs his sight, so he raises an arm in front of his eyes to block the light, as well as to conceal a pink flush on his cheeks.

“Apart from the kid, when can you take me into your consideration?”

He then leaves.

He left after saying these words.

Lily wraps her arms around her knees, moisture filling up the eyes. Once the first tear breaks free, the rest follows in an unbroken stream. After a while, her legs feel tingled; and her heart goes numb.
