Let's Get Married novel Chapter 417

Adair ponders and shakes his head eagerly, “No. I want to stay with Mummy.”

Although he is saying “no”, Lily can still discern the overwhelming sense of loss in his eyes. It seems like she was forcing Adair to make a choice.

“Chicken soup is ready!” Fanny puts a bowl of chicken soup in front of Lily. The soup looks delicious and smells good and Lily feels quite hungry as a single glance of the soup has stirred up her appetite.

She picks up the spoon to scoop a spoonful of soup, lifts it to her mouth and blows it, and then hands it to Adair, “Have a try?”

“I’ve drunken it at noon, so serve yourself, mummy.” After finishing the words, Adair climbs down her arms and sits still beside, fearing that he would disturb his beloved mummy from having the soup.

Lily eats the soup and thinks of what Adair said just now, not noticing that Rex has go downstairs.

Rex has had anything either; therefore, Fanny also serves him a bowl of chicken soup. He picks up the bowl and the spoon. Then there comes the sonorous sound of the crash of the spoon and bowl, and Lily finally comes to her own sense.

She meets into his slanted eyes. Rex asks softly, “What are you thinking? Looks like you are lost in thoughts.”

Lily lowers her head, to the point that her nose almost touches the bowl, “Nothing.”

“How does it taste?”

“Very good.”

“Then you should have more bowls of soup, in case that you may feel hungry later. After all, there are no snacks in the house.”

Adair hastily cuts in when hearing his words and complains, “Oh that’s true. Mummy you should stuff yourself. Uncle has no snacks, and he even not allows me to have them!”

Lily just refuses Adair to eat snacks from time to time, but Rex almost bans him to have them. However, kids like snacks and they would be more longing for it if being forbidden to eat them.

Rex doesn’t allow Adair to eat snacks out of the psychological shadow brought by Adair’s indigestion last time. He is particularly afraid that Adair would get sick again if he doesn’t take good care of him, plus that snacks are innutritious, so it is better to prohibit him to eat them.

“I bought you fruits. Fruits have a better taste than snacks.”

Adair pouts, “But I want to eat chocolate donuts and strawberry pudding."

“It’s unhealthy to have too much dessert.” Rarely, this time, Lily holds the same stance with Rex. Although deep in heart, she doesn’t want to admit it, she can’t help but blurt out, “We have snacks at home, but you still want to stay here.”

Adair puts his index fingers together, “If mummy allows me to have snacks, then I can go with you.”

Lily and Rex are quite speechless upon hearing the words…

All right. Rex’s happiness is so short!

Good son, you abandon your dad for the sake of the snacks, hahaha.

Lily suddenly feels that it was ridiculous that she would be jealous of Rex because of Adair’s choice. It turns out that this little child is not that adamant in his decision; he can be easily bribed!

Lily coughs, “Well, you can eat them, but not now. Mummy will buy them for you later.”
