Let's Get Married novel Chapter 411

They say women are the most paradoxical creature in the world. She did not think so before, but now she experiences it first-hand; she has never imagined herself becoming like this one day.

But Lily still finds it unbelievable at the thought of Rex’s promise to take her to see her child. Even though she knows clearly that this man keeps his words, such a sudden big change from him is still shocking.

She wishes to get well soon. It would be better if she can be discharged tomorrow so that she could see Adair tomorrow night. The thought of her child immediately softens her heart.

As her mind wanders, a person walks up by the bed. Without looking up, she feels a sense of familiar pressure. Surprisingly to her, it is Rex.

He has gone and returned. Although he is not looking too good, he is holding two bowls of porridge.

The man sees the doubt in her. He is embarrassed for having to lower his pride and handing it to her. He says unkindly, “Your porridge.”

Lily blinks and looks at the porridge and him, “Did you go get the porridge just now?”

“I was going to go, but the delivery guy called.” Stubbornly, he refuses to admit. He still has to save some face at this age, hence he embarrassingly returned after the bold departure.

Lily sees his mildly flushed ears and knows that he said it so purposely. She goes with it, acts like him, and says profoundly, “Oh, that’s really fortunate.”

The irony in her words is too strong that Rex can’t neglect it.

His face toughens and a harsh glare is upon her, “Don’t you know how to shut your mouth?”

Knowing nothing good will follow if she talks back, Lily ignores him and focuses on the porridge. She had no appetite at first, but the vegetable porridge in her palm now makes her hungry suddenly.

She lifts the heat-retaining cover and smells a flavorful scent. She starts salivating, but before she digs in, he hands in another bowl, “Which one do you prefer?”

One is lotus seed porridge, the other is vegetable porridge. For both flavor and presentation, Lily prefers vegetable porridge, “I’ll have this one.”

Unexpectedly, Rex puts the porridge aside, “Eat them both. It’s not too much.”

She is sending a spoonful of porridge to her mouth when he says so. She cannot decide whether to talk or to swallow. She chokes on the food and bursts into coughing.

Rex frowns and stands up. He pats on her back with his big hand, “Take it easy. The porridge will be there.”

Lily almost coughs to tears. Her face flushed. It has taken a while for her to recover. She looks at him with an extra reproach, which also comes with a bit of woman’s charming grumble.

It is unnoticed even by her, which is a completely subconscious response.

Rex is taken aback by her gaze. He’s going to tell her not to talk during a meal. Now that the mood is gone, he leans over to fleetly kiss her lips, “It’s okay; all is good now.”

Lily just feels sudden warmth on her lips. Immediately, Rex has left, and she has not realized before everything is over.

Lily touches her lip and feels a bit numb. As the aftertaste hits, her already flushed face is even more blushed, “What, what did you do!”

Not to mention whether she was willing or not, there are couple of people beside. How could he be so thick-skinned, as if there was no one?

‘It’s okay; all is good now?!’ What? Was he comforting her with a kiss?

She does not need that, okay?

Lily does not know she looks like a little enraged hedgehog. And resistance and defense prevailed, making her look extra stubborn yet adorable.
