Let's Get Married novel Chapter 211

The mere drowsiness left under Rex’s eyes is also drifted away. He stares at the woman whose eyes are closed and sleeps soundly. There is no tenderness in his eyes but only endless repulsion and resistance.

Compressing the anger that slowly ignites in the chest and trying to calm down, he uses a lofty tone to call her, “Marina.”

The latter still closes her eyes and sleeps as though nobody has called her out.

However, the slightly trembling eyelashes betray her. Even though it is subtle, Rex still can seize it.

He inhales deeply for fear that he will lose his temper, “Marina, I know you’re awake.”

His sentence is meant to give her a chance. However, at this moment, Marina who is pretending to be asleep, even though she could not see his expression, just listening to his deep tone is enough for her to tremble with fear.

After mentally prepared for a while, finally, she slowly opens her eyes.

Under the dim light of the bedroom, she is lying while he sits. Even if the bed is big, the distance is still limited. Marina raises her head to look at the man beside her. She has never been this close to Rex, let alone sleeping on a bed. Even though it is only for a moment, her heart beats excitedly fast.

“Rex….” She deliberately calls him with a pinched throat, which surprisingly sounds warm at late night.

In an instant, the bedroom is filled with bright light. Marina raises her hand to block it as if she is hit by the dazzling light. She adjusts for a while before putting it down.

She barely wears very thin pajamas with lace style, meaning to show her heart, very bold.

Rex’s face is completely stiff; the sharpness of his eyes seems to shoot a sharp ice blade out, “Why are you here.”

One of her hands grabs the pajamas on her chest, forming a posture of self-protection as if she is the one who has been scared, “I, I keep on having nightmares and I don’t want to disturb your sleep, so I secretly come in…..”

After it, her eyes turn red, “Rex, I dream of the scene of my parents’ car accident. It is very real and vivid, just like it happened again in front of my eyes. I’m scared, especially of dad’s expression, I’m really scared….”

Rex looks at the mist that fills her eyes; he is calmer than he thought. He is so calm that it even scares himself, he can even reply her word, “Marina, you can call me if you’re scared, but don’t secretly come into my room; this is not your place.”

His sentences successfully penetrate Marina’s heart. He can always guess out what she cares most, and she knows that this man is using this method to push her away.

However, her feelings for him could not retreat from long ago: only death can push her away.

He looks down at the woman who sits in the middle of the bed, his tone uneasy, “You keep on dreaming your parents for these years. I know that you’re hurt, but everything is in the past, don’t think too much….”

Rex has discovered that something is wrong with Marina. She frequently mentions her deceased parents. Every time she uncovers the scar, he is too painful that it makes him unable to confront it. However, as a daughter, she does not seem to care as much as she said.

Once Marina listens to it, she becomes frightened and quickly gets out of bed, “Sorry, Rex. I don’t know you’ll mind it so much.”

“Of course I do.” Rex’s sharp eyes fall on her, analyzing every inch of her expression like an X-ray, “I treat you as my sister, but now, you slip into my bed, and do you think it’s appropriate?”

Marina fakes a smile while loosening her hand, “I just wanted to sleep, I didn’t do anything!”

After it, as if thinking of something, she asks, “Or, are you afraid that Lily will be upset, she doesn’t want me to touch her stuff, even if it is just a bed?”
