Let's Get Married novel Chapter 198

“Rex….” Lily is moved and does not know what to say. Her eyes redden with the bright sting of his eyes.

“Good girl, don’t be sad.” He reaches out and takes the meal box on her lap, “It’ll be cold in a while, let’s go inside and eat it?”

Lily holds back her tears, “Okay.”

The two enter the villa one after another. It is only eight o’clock, which is not too late. Marina usually is staying upstairs at this time. However, she is sitting in the living room and watching TV right now.

Fanny is busy working alone in the dining room, she does not accompany her.

Hearing the movement, Marina looks over and sees that the two come back together. Her eyes darken a little, but she still steps forward warmly, “Rex, you’re back.”

After she finished, she looks at Lily and says politely yet perfunctorily, “You too, Lily.”

“Yes.” Lily is not in a good mood and does not want to talk more, then looks at Fanny who is walking over, “Fanny, I’m afraid I still have to trouble you for heating the dumplings at this hour.”

Fanny smiles and quickly waves her hand, then takes over the meal box in Rex’s hand and rushes to the kitchen to use the microwave again.

Marina digs her nail into her flesh and deliberately asks curiously, “Who made the dumplings?”

“My parents.” Lily changes her shoes and casually replies her, “You can try it later.”

Sure enough, Marina restrains her attitude and agrees, “Okay. I haven’t eaten dumplings since I’m back; I almost forgot what it tastes like.”

Lily presses her eyebrows together without leaving any space. She seems a little upset but does not say anything. It is only a few dumplings. No matter what she thought, there is no need to talk about it.

“How are you feeling today?” Rex asks her while pulling off his tie.

Marina turns her head to meet his gaze and smiles as sweet as honey, “I’m good. Only a little dizzy in the morning, nothing else.”

“Karl will bring someone to do your overall check-up tomorrow night. You should prepare in advance, don’t eat too much.” Karl reminds him this afternoon that the half-month check should also be done.

Marina nods, “I know, Rex. Go up and change your clothes first.”

Rex then holds on Lily to go upstairs. When they step forward, Marina leaves for the kitchen. The dumplings do not take long to cook. They only need to heat up. Fanny moves the dumplings from the meal box to the plate, as well as dips it in the vinegar sauce.

Marina rarely assists somebody. She takes out two pairs of chopsticks and looks at the two plates of white yet fat dumplings on the table. She turns her eyes to look upstairs. Without waiting for them, she clamps it and puts it in her mouth. It has to be said that the fragrance of the carrot and the thickness of the meat are intertwined. Only one bite and the fragrance will linger inside the mouth.

She is unforeseen that Lily’s parents have this ability. No wonder she takes the initiative to bring it to Rex.

Followed by the second, the third…. In a blink of an eye, a plate of dumplings has perished for more than half.

When Fanny cleans up the kitchen and sees it, she is almost stunned. She wants to remind her, but thinking of her identity, it is not easy to say anything but only endures it.

When Lily and Rex come downstairs, the dumplings on the plate in the dining table that are supposed to be pleasing at this time have scattered apart, apparently left over by others.

The original initiator is sitting behind the table and has not left yet. She is drinking the hot water in the cup leisurely.

Seeing her coming down, she even says with very thick skin, “Lily, your parents’ cooking is very good. This is one of the best dumplings I have ever eaten.”
