Let's Get Married novel Chapter 197

Lily’s outstretched hand freezes, then quickly withdraws it and places it back on her thigh, feeling a little flustered, “I took it off just now when I washed my hands, and I forgot to wear it. I, I’ll wear it now…”

She hurriedly takes the diamond ring out of her pocket, and puts on it as sudden as a flash of lightning, then reaches out to give him a look, “See.”

However, Rex does not respond to her. The side of his face is like being covered with a layer of frost, the tightness makes her heart cool.

The atmosphere in the car becomes a little subtle. Lily swallows secretly. She knows that she has stepped on Rex’s vulnerable spot. Her whole body is on a repression breath. She does not dare to say anything. For fear that one unfavorable word will become a blasting fuse.

Even though he says nothing, the speed increases a lot.

Around seven o’clock in the evening, even though it has passed the rushing hour, there are still a number of cars on the street. The oversized SUV shuttles in the traffic. After endures it for a long time, Lily still could not hold back and persuades him in a low voice, “Drive slowly…”

Rex seems to be deaf and still driving fast. Over an hour’s journey, it only takes forty minutes for him. The car stops at the entrance of the villa. Lily is dizzy and pale with his driving speed.

Unbuckling the seat belt and hopping off the car, she feels much better after standing.

After a stretch, she turns to look at the person who is sitting on the car, unmoved. There is a little depressed feeling, she then pulls the door and stares at him silently, “Aren’t you going to get off?”

He then fixes his gaze on her. His pupils seem to be covered with a mist, making her difficult to see clearly.

He says nothing and waits quietly. However, after quite some time, the petite woman, who is standing in front of him, is still silent. His patience has gone and then pulls out the dashboard to take a pack of cigarettes. While handing it to his mouth, he says, “If there is nothing else, you go ahead.”

Lily just realizes the seriousness of this matter. She then grits her teeth and steps forward to sit in the car again, “I didn’t remove it on purpose, don’t be angry…”

“Not on purpose?” Even though he is asking her, there is a doubt in his tone.

Lily is too speechless by his word because she… did it on purpose.

She is afraid that when Bree sees it, she will interrogate her. Thus, she deliberately removes it and puts it in her pocket. As for what her motives are, Lily does not truly understand. Maybe she is too nervous.

Rex lowers the car window a little to ventilate the smoke inside the car and the air outside. Even though he is really upset right now, he still cares about her feelings.

This kind of care has become one of his subconscious habits.

The two of them sit in the car in silence. She does not know how to explain it to him.

In the moment of silence, the cigarette has burned until his fingertips. He reaches out for another box of cigarettes in the car and draws the butts out.

Lily realizes that he is about to reach for another one. Her delicate brow slightly furrows then raises her hand to grab his arm, “Stop it, you’ll cough.”

The strength of her hand is small and weak. If Rex really wants to break away, he only needs a little effort. However, he seems to be really caught by her and does not continue to move.

In his ear, the soft voice of the woman comes, “If you mind, I will not take it off next time, okay?”

“I don’t mind this.” He finally speaks and looks at her with a trace of scrutiny that he has not seen in a long time, “You’re afraid that your parents know our relationship.”
