Let's Get Married novel Chapter 504

On the way back, Adair sits in the back seat of the car, and becomes somehow silent, not like when he saw his dad at the airport.

At first, Lily thinks he is sick from the trip by plane, but then she realizes the boy is not happy about his father.

Rex breaks the silence by trying to start a conversation, but Adair has no interest in it.

Rex feels helpless and doesn't know how to please his son. After thinking for a moment, he instructs the driver to head for the largest amusement park in J City.

Lily understands what he means, and texts Bree saying they won't be back before dinner.

An hour later, the car stops at the entrance of a restaurant in the amusement park. An attendant helps park the car in the right place, and Lily and Rex take Adair to the revolving restaurant with French windows on the top floor.

The manager personally leads the way and finds them a table with the best view. Looking down from here, one can almost see the entire park. At night, there will be fireworks displays, and the fairytale world will be even more dreamlike.

Every child like this place, and Adair is no exception. However, he only looks at it for a few moments before forcing himself to look away. His pretense of being picky amuses Lily.

Nonetheless, she chooses not to laugh out loud. The boy is kind of sulky now, so she has to take care of his feelings.

After ordering, Lily looks at the father and son, who are not talking, and goes to the bathroom to give them some alone time.

Rex picks up his glass and sips some water, saying, "How was school this semester? I heard you got good grades in your final exams. All A, right?"

Adair pouts and replies reluctantly, "I got A+ in math and English."

"That's good." Rex nods in satisfaction. "You are as excellent as me when I was at your age."

Adair does not reply. He looks around to avoid Rex's gaze. Noticing that the boy is silent again, Rex continues to ask him, "Why aren't you talking? Aren't you happy that Dad is back?"

After all, he is a parent. Adair gets a little scared when he notices his father becomes serious. He purses and looks down at the plates on the table, looking exactly like Rex.

After a while, he says, "You promised to pick me up. But you only did that after such a long time. You didn't keep your word!"

When Adair saw his father at the airport gate today, he was overjoyed. However, after hugging Rex and watching Ryan leave, he became slightly sensitive. He wasn't angry, but lonely. The boy didn't know how to express it, so he could only be silent.

Rex heaves a sigh of relief hearing the truth. He leans closer and asks, "Dad didn't break my promise. I wanted to come back for you and Mom sooner, but I got caught up."

Adair is obviously not satisfied with this answer, his soft voice carrying grievance, "What was more important than me and Mom?"

Rex tilts his head and thinks for a moment before telling part of the truth, "Dad got sick before setting off. The doctor said I should rest first. I have been missing you and Mom. I promise."

Hearing that, Adair becomes happy and lets his guard down. "You were sick?"

"Yes, I am fine now." Then Rex apologizes, "But no matter what, it was Dad's fault for leaving you and Mom for so long. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

When Adair hears his apology, he doesn't blame him anymore, and tells Rex the truth, "After you left, Mom was very sad. Every time I asked her about you, she became even sadder. Dad, don't leave us anymore. I don't want her to be unhappy."

Adair only has Lily all these years. He understands how hard Lily has tried for the family, so he is displeased about Rex being away for so long.
