Let's Get Married novel Chapter 451

On the afternoon of the day Lily goes back to Britain, Rex drives a car and takes Adair to see her off. In the crowded airport, Lily stands in front of the security check and looks at the two men before her. She feels wistful somehow.

“Mummy, when will you come back?” Adair asks her directly. He knows a man shouldn’t shed tears, so he tries hard to hold down the tears in his big eyes.

On the way from home to airport, this is the fourth time that he asks.

Lily strokes his hair and answers, “Mummy will be back very soon. When you finish the new jigsaw puzzle, you will see mummy again.”

Rex ordered a very large jigsaw picture for Adair which cost almost 2000 yuan.

At the thought of the giant and chaotic jigsaw picture, Adair begins to worry, “What? ... Then it must be long.”

“No, it won’t be long. Mummy will be back in several days. You need to behave well so that mummy can focus on work and get back sooner.” Actually, at the moment of departure, Lily still has many worries, especially for the father Rex.

Detecting the worries in her eyes, Rex walks a step forward and gently takes her in his arms, “Don’t think too much. Focus on your work and get back as soon as you can. Me and Adair will be waiting for you.”

Lily is a bit skeptical, “Can you really manage it?”

Rex smiles and whispers by her ears, “A man can never say ‘I can’t’. Don’t you know that?”

Lily pushes him away, “I am serious.”

“Yes, I can.” Smiling, he kisses the top her head, and a warm breath lays on her hair, “Don’t worry. I can manage.”

The warm hug and soothing words make the bustling, cold airport less sad. Although she will just be gone for several days, Lily truly feels reluctant to leave Rex and Adair behind.

She sniffles, “I will try to get back sooner.”

“Okay.”

In the bustling hall, many passers-by cast their eyes on the two love birds hugging each other. The man is tall and the woman is beautiful. Let alone appearance, their temperament really stands out among people.

Before pairs of eyes full of envy, Rex lets go of her but doesn’t walk away. He looks down at Adair before laying a palm to cover his eyes and bends over to kiss Lily on the lips.

Though Rex likes teasing her at home, he knows he needs to restrain himself in public because he still has an image to keep. Besides, Adair is still beside.

Rex stands up again soon. After saying goodbye, he watches Lily pass the security check before taking Adair outwards.

When the two of them walk out of the airport, a plane that just took off flies above their heads. They can hear the noise of airflow by their ears.

Adair stops walking, grabs Rex’s hand and points to the plane, asking excitedly, “Daddy, is that mummy’s plane?”

Rex looks up too. During the 37 years of his life, he devotes most of the time to work and business trip. The scene that he was so familiar with arouses complicated emotions in his heart now. He carries Adair up and gives him a smile that is even more dazzling than the sunlight above their heads, “Yes, and mummy will be back soon.”

“Okay, then I will wait for mummy with daddy.” Adair smiles back, and he looks exactly like how Rex smiled when he was a boy.

...

After Lily left, Rex trusts Fraser with the business of company and he just does his work remotely. As for important documents, Fraser takes them to his house for him to sign. Although it is kind of irresponsible, but it’s all for his son Adair. So, Rex just enjoys the life and seizes the moment.

The first two days were fine. Rex just needed to accompany Adair when he played games and watched cartoons. But on the third day, Adair becomes sullen and keeps asking Rex to take him out.

Although Rex wants to take him to amusement park, but it is so crowded and he lacks experience in looking after children. What if something happens and he is at the end of his wits?

Right this moment, Rex’s grandfather calls and says he wants to see Adair. At first Rex doesn’t give an answer, but after asking Lily for her opinion and getting her consent, he decides to bring Adair to see his grandfather.

Rex fetches a dark-blue coat specifically to match with Adair’s clothes for he wants to try father and son wear. He is kept in good shape and Adair looks handsome too. Two of them standing together makes an eye-catching view.

After reaching Rex’s grandparents’ house, Adair seems pretty nervous before exiting the car, with a pair of big eyes looking out of the window and flashing.

Rex notices his behavior but doesn’t ask him to get off the car. Instead, he mollifies him gently, “Daddy knows you were frightened the last time you came here. Don’t worry, I promise this time will be different.”

As a matter of fact, Rex’s grandfather didn’t do anything to Adair last time. It is just that the old man was so serious, which makes Adair scared at the thought of him. Adair raises his chubby hand and asks, “Will I be injected by needle again this time?”

He is talking about the time when Rex’s grandfather took Adair for paternity test behind their backs.

Hearing this, Rex feels like his heart is stung too and takes Adair in his arms, saying, “No. Daddy is here. You don’t need to be afraid.”
