Let's Get Married novel Chapter 319

Lily’s experience and suffering in a foreign country are totally beyond Rex’s imagination. With sagging spirits, he depended on alcohol to numb himself at first, but it was useless as time went on. Thus he only insists to be alive.

Karl and other friends watch his depression but can’t do anything. Although Rex isn’t talkative in the past, he still has a fire burning in his heart. However, after the disappearance of Lily, the man completely changes. There is a disgust of life in his bones.

He hates this world, even the law which he was most proud of.

No one can comfort him. Rex has to make it and survive on his own.

In the past half a year, Rex went to the company very few times. One morning, however, he rushes to the office, while Orson is reading today’s schedule. Orson is taken aback when he sees Rex and stands up happily to greet him. “You’re finally here.”

He thinks Rex has gotten rid of the shadow, willing to come back to the company as before.

However, his words frighten Orson—I plan to retire from the legal profession. Make the statement at noon.”

“What?!” Orson is experienced, but hearing it, he is frozen. “Rex, what… what did you say?”

“I will quit my legal profession. I won’t get involved in this area anymore.” He wants to get rid of this environment; otherwise, he will resent himself for the rest of his life.

The law, his faith, has helped numerous people but slanders his most beloved woman, which is the unbearable thing in his life.

Seeing his determination, Orson frowns subconsciously. “Rex, calm down. You and I set up this company and witness its development. If you leave it now, what will it be? What should I do?”

“I trust you,” Rex replies directly, his dark eyes full of determination. “It can run well, operated by you. Hugo is promising. When I retire, you can give him a promotion to help you.”

Since he says that, Rex has made up his mind.

All of a sudden, Orson doesn’t know what to say. Rex’s decision is beyond his expectation. He hasn’t expected Rex would quit the legal profession one day, leave the profession he loved the most.

After graduation, Rex was so proud and confident to enter this field. Setbacks, however fierce or tricky, never brought him down. But now…

Orson takes a deep breath. “Rex, I know you’re sad. As an outsider, I probably shouldn’t say this. But, as your friend, I still want to say something to you. Lily’s death is a shock to you. But she can’t come back to life. I hope you can restrain your grief. Your present life is the last thing I want to see. I haven’t expected you would leave this field. Have you ever thought about what you’re going to do? Even if you don’t want to be responsible for yourself, if she is still alive, Lily doesn’t want to see you like this, definitely.”

Originally, Rex doesn’t care about his talk. Numerous people around him have comforted him before, and he is numb to this repetitive talk. However, Orson’s last sentence undoubtedly sticks his heart.

The man is stunned and then curls his lips like a mockery. Sadness in his eyes, Rex murmurs, “If she is really alive, it will be excellent.”

As he finishes, the office falls into silence and sadness. Since Lily died, her death has been an extremely grave topic. It’s indeed unbearable for him to watch his beloved one pass away.
