Let's Get Married novel Chapter 601

Lily is relieved at what he says. "That's good. I was afraid of wronging him."

"Don't worry. Although Adair is sensible, he is still a child. He's not too sensitive. Relax."

"Can I meet Ryan sometime?" Knowing that she and Ryan have once been close, Lily involuntarily asks in a softer voice.

Rex wants to say no. After all, no man would be willing to see his woman meeting his love rival. But he knows he couldn't stop it. He doesn't want her to be distracted because she couldn't meet Ryan. He agrees with the idea, though he doesn't like it. And he has an extra request—

"You can meet. But I'll be there, too."

Lily couldn't help but laugh at his frustrated, childish manner. "I'm not doing anything. Why are you so worried?"

He's been picking holes in her ever since they started to talk.

"It was your fault to get so close to Ryan. I'm jealous." He says it out loud without feeling any awkwardness. What's more, he looks like he's telling the truth.

Lily knows that he is joking. As a man in his thirties, he is mature and sedate in front of outsiders. But when he's staying with her, he acts like a child. She doesn't mind the contrast, though. To be specific, she likes it very much.

No one could see such a side of him but her.

Lily curled her lips in resignation and happiness. "Alright, you'll come with me."

Actually, she does plan to go with him. After all, to her, now Ryan is a stranger. She is afraid that she couldn’t handle it by herself and has no idea how to talk about the changes that happened in the past few months.

With him by her side, she is at ease.

It's just that before she could mention the plan, he has already brought it up. Watching his grudging look, she fails to resist the temptation to tease him.

The decision is made. After lunch the next day, she stares hesitantly for a while at the unfamiliar numbers sent by Rex before she makes a phone call.

The phone rings for a long time before it is picked up. The man's voice is hoarse. It sounds like he is sick. "Hello?"

Lily's heart skips a beat at the voice. She looked up at Rex, whose dark eyes seem to be able to give her endless strength. She calms herself down and says, "Is that Ryan?"

"Lily?" After hearing her voice, the man's breathing is heavier. He repeats, "Is that you?"

He has recognized her voice in a short sentence. Lily's fingers tightened on the phone. "It's me."

"Where are you now?" The man sounds nervous suddenly, and his breathing, which has become short out of excitement, comes through the microphone.

"I'm home. I want to see you."

"Alright, where do you want us to meet? I'll rush over now." Ryan agrees without hesitation, regardless of the valuable meeting and contract signing later. Ignoring the advice of his assistant and secretary, he rises from his seat immediately, takes the car keys, and walks towards the elevator.

To him, all the business and contracts are just numbers. It doesn't matter how much value they would bring him. Now, all he wants to see is the woman who has been gone for months, who he has been worried about.

"SL Teahouse, No. 38 River Street. I'll wait for you there." Lily says lightly as she glances at the man beside her from the corner of her eyes. "Rex would be there, too," she adds.

Ryan is reaching out to press the elevator button. At that, he pauses for a short moment and narrows his eyes, "Alright."

"Lily wants to see you and thank you for taking care of Adair." He started the car and glanced at her without any emotion. He seemed to look at a stranger. "Don't read too much into it."

Eunice didn't do so. Ever since she had left Q City last time, she didn't want to have anything to do with Ryan in her lifetime. But now, hearing what he had just said, she was somehow annoyed.

She smiled and played it cool, "Don't worry, after meeting Ms. Lily, I will never meet you again."

As a result, they were silent along the way from school to the teahouse. They didn't even have any eye contact with each other.

Now that they are out of the car, Ryan opens his mouth, trying to say something, but he swallows it back eventually. Indignant, he enters the café, regardless of whether the girl behind him could catch up with him or not.

With his long legs, he walks so fast that she has to take some effort to keep up with him. But fortunately, she manages to keep up in the end.

After entering the teahouse, they are recognized by the staff immediately and are led to the private room on the second floor. The manager of the teahouse personally opens the old, wooden door for them and bows, "Mr. Ryan, Miss Eunice, please come in."

The door is opened. Ryan looks down and takes a deep breath before walking inside.

Eunice follows behind him. Not long after, a fair lady appears in front of her.

She has met Lily once before, so technically, they are not strangers. However, seeing her again after such a long time, Eunice notices that Lily is much thinner than she used to be.

Eunice turns her gaze away from Lily and sees the eye-catching man with a dominating air beside her. He is wearing a white shirt. With his collar slightly open, he looks casual yet not messy. And his cuff is a little above his watch, which is perfect.

She moves her gaze upward a little and realizes how handsome the man is...
