Let's Get Married novel Chapter 449

Half an hour later, the car enters the courtyard of the old mansion. Lily is obviously shaken as she is struggling to unbuckle her seatbelt. Rex looks in her direction and holds her tiny hand, “Don’t worry, nothing bad would happen. Trust me.”

If his grandparents are still the same as they were last time, he wouldn’t have bring Adair to see them, let alone Lily. He won’t let her be wronged anymore.

“In the end, you can’t avoid seeing your in-laws when you’re married. You better take this opportunity to ramp up your courage.” He teases her purposely.

Lily pushes him in response, “Stop your nonsense.”

They get out of the car and Rex immediately circles to the boot to unload tea leaves and silk scarf which are their gifts for his parents. The butler initially wants to help him, but he refuses the help, “I’ll do it myself.”

He hands a light gift box to Lily and they walk into the mansion together.

After exiting the police station, it is just about time to have lunch. His grandparents have prepared a full table of dishes when they learnt that Rex is coming back. There are a variety of food on the table, including some typical dishes and vegetarian dishes. They are his favourite food.

When Lily steps into the living room, she lays eyes upon the two elders seated on the sofa and a strange sensation slowly permeates through her body. This time, she is coming here with a different kind of mind set. She nervously clutches the gift box while standing straight beside Rex, waiting for his next move.

“You’re finally here.” His grandfather greets them as they enter his field of vision. He freezes briefly when he sees that they are carrying gifts. He can’t help but complain about it, “Why are you bringing things when you’re just coming back home?”

Deep in his heart, he can see that this must be Lily’s idea, since Rex has never done something like this before. He is a practical person, so he will just order someone to send things over every time. He rarely reveals his true feelings in front of them.

As expected, Rex puts down the gifts on the table while explaining, “These tea leaves and silk scarf are bought by Lily according to your preference.”

His grandfather shifts his gaze on Lily and replies, “You shouldn’t have brought anything at all. We still have a lot of these at home.”

Although he is just showing some formalities, he doesn’t actually reject her gifts. He cranes around to instruct the babysitter on the side, “Go make some tea with these, I want to taste some new tea.”

Lily heaves a sigh of relief. She understands fully that Adair has been a big part to their disharmony and although she is not in the wrong, she still understands that she is from a younger generation. In order to be with Rex in the long run, she has to earn their acknowledgement. She couldn’t wait for the elders to come knocking on her door to apologize.

They are giving her a chance, and she cherishes it a lot.

Rex is sitting opposite his grandparents while Lily sits next to him. Most of the time, she just listens quietly to their conversation without interrupting them.

After talking about his work for a while, his grandparents change the topic and bring up Adair, “Why isn’t Adair with you guys? Is there anybody looking after him at home?”

“Fanny is looking after him, so you don’t need to worry.” When it comes to Adair, Rex unconsciously becomes gentler, “He’s nearing five years old now, there won’t be any problem leaving him in the accompaniment of an elderly person.”

Since he has successfully transitioned into this topic, his grandfather continues the flow and asks about his education, “Have you decided which kindergarten you are sending him to? It’s better if he can return to kindergarten as soon as possible.”

“We have done our survey, and we still need to discuss a little bit more before coming to a decision. We haven’t get his identification card yet.” He throws a glance to Lily next to him while he is saying this.

His grandfather follows his gaze but says nothing more in regard to this topic. Instead, he urges them to eat, “Let’s eat first or else the dishes will get cold.”

The four of them head to the dining room with his father sitting at the end of the table and his mother and himself flanking him. Lily is relieved that she doesn’t have to sit facing anybody.
