Let's Get Married novel Chapter 118

The man’s sharp eyes widen a bit, his expression is dignified.

“Orson called and said that Lily didn’t go to work today, she also didn’t pick up her phone…” Even Joe hasn’t completed his sentence, Rex has snatches away the phone on his hand.

As he picks it up, he walks to the office, “What happened?”

“Shouldn’t you ask yourself? Lily is absent today, at first, they thought she was late. But until this point, it is quite unusual. According to her personalities, she is not someone who will do this kind of thing. Why don’t you call and ask her?” Orson thinks that they have a big fight, and doesn’t really think it is serious.

Rex’s head buzzes with his sentence. Since morning, he can’t reach her anymore.

“Got it.” With a snap, the phone is disconnected.

Rex spontaneously opens his phone and navigates the location of Lily’s phone, it shows that she is in the Villa.

With it, the man’s face is bitter than before. If she doesn’t answer her phone at home, there was only one possibility, which is she doesn’t bring her phone out.

They don’t fight nor did anything unpleasant, why did she suddenly ‘missing’?

Or is there anything happened in the past two days while he is away?

Speculating, doubting, various kind of possibilities wander in his head. This is the first time he feels so hopeless.

After the meeting and after the work is over, he immediately finds a flight and books it to fly back home.

Once the plane has landed, the cold air struck. The city is nearly seven or eight degrees colder that Q city. Rex wraps his coat and walks into the fan from the VIP channel.

Joe looks at the man who hasn’t taken a rest for the past two or three days, and couldn’t help but persuade, “Rex, take a rest for a while.”

The man just nods slightly, indicating that he has heard it, but actually doesn’t have any intention to sleep at all.

When the car starts, the dim lights on the roof of the fan glow up and it fall on the man’s sharp facial features. Such a handsome facial features are stained with lonely and desolation.

The air seems to be condensed. Joe clearly knows what Lily means for Rex. Now that she is missing, he even squeezes out a sweat, “Rex, do you want me to find a friend from the police station to look for her?”

He blinks his eyes, “Not for now, let’s go home first.”

The slender index finger, which is randomly placed on the back seat of the car, moves slightly. He hopes that he could immediately see the face that he thinks of every day once he arrives. Without any exception, he must see it.

...

The car drives from the airport to the Villa, which takes about more than one hour. Once the car drives in the garage, without waiting for the driver to open the door for him, he has eagerly gotten out by himself.

Joe and the driver are inconvenient to follow in. Thus, they only watch as Rex walks in the Villa hurriedly. After five minutes, he comes out solemnly.

Joe’s heart sink, realizing that Lily is not at home.

By raising his head, his vision seems empty and he suddenly smiles, which give a chilling sense, “She’s not here.”

Only a few words, it seems to exhaust all of his body.

He basically is not a weak person, only Lily could make him out of control.

As Joe watches him, there is a discomfort in his heart and also worries. He takes out his phone and wanted to contact her. But before he could do it, he hears a bang sound from the side.

The man hits the car with a punch fiercely. Even by the sound, you could aware that it is hurt. Joe steps forward and immediately blocks his hand, “Rex!”

Rex is panting hard, he is panicked. As the sky is about to dim, there is thousands of thoughts in his mind, the strongest one is to find her as soon as possible.
