Let's Get Married novel Chapter 420

When Rex goes downstairs to have dinner, Lily has already worn out after playing with Adair for a long while. Rex washes his hands, and then seats himself at the table, and looks at them with his eyebrows slightly raised, “Will you leave today?”

The question is quite normal, but in Lily’s ears, it somehow bears his joking.

She turns her face awkwardly and hums in a voice as low as that of mosquitos, “Yeah.”

She then hastily adds, “Adair wants to stay since you’ve promised to go hiking with him.”

What she means is that it is Adair who wants to stay, not her, and that she has to stay too to accompany Adair as she is worrying about him.

But this silly girl has no idea that her words are just a clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure.

Knowing that Lily is thin-skinned and that she would choose to dig a hole on the ground to hide herself if he keeps joking at her, Rex chooses to end the topic and shoots her a meaningful glance and says, “Go and have dinner.”

Lily secretly heaves a sigh of relieve. She then sends food to her mouth while feeding Adair.

She hasn’t eaten the dishes cooked by Fanny for five years. Therefore, when she takes a bite, she feels the nostalgia and sighs with emotion.

“Fanny, your cooking skills are improved a lot.” Although Lily doesn’t like to eat greasy food at night, this time, she still eats a lot of stewed pork.

“It’s great that Miss Lily likes it. I have no specialties other than cooking!” Fanny feels quite delighted upon hearing Lily’s words.

“By the way, is your son married?”

“Yeah. He got married last year. After all, he was not young and therefore we urged him to get married.”

“Is his wife a native person in this city?”

“Yes. And she’s very filial. They have bought two houses and two cars by themselves, and I feel at ease." Actually, Fanny is not short of money. It’s just that she feels boring and wants to do something that she chose to work for Rex.

It must be so hard for Fanny to raise her son by her own. Lily, who has been a single mother for five years, deeply understands it.

"Miss Lily, what about you? Marriage life has its fun." Fanny persuades.

Lily is stunned. Sensing the scorching lines of sight from Rex, she lowers her head and scoops the soup, pretending to be calm, "No hurry, let's talk about it later."

She doesn’t discern that Rex frowns upon hearing her words. Judging from her attitude as well as her tone, he can tell that she never considers about marrying him.

They then eat quietly. Lily talks to Adair from time to time, while Rex throws one or two questions to Adair. But the two adults didn’t talk with each other.

After the dinner, Lily stays in the room, accompanying Adair to draw and to build LEGO blocks. On the one hand, she hasn’t seen Adair for several days and wants to give him more companies; on the other hand, she is shunning Rex, since she doesn’t know how to face him.
