Let's Get Married novel Chapter 345

Lily is inclined to believe that Rex’s questions are related to her love life, if she has fallen in love with someone during these five years or if she is in any relationship. When she hears that question, something breaks inside of her, which was beyond any expectation and leaves her completely petrified.

Silence...

Rex’s eyes are tartarean, as if countless ghosts are wandering inside of them. He raises his eyebrows, "Patience is not one of my virtues. If you make me wait that long, I might take the deal off the table..."

"Five years!" Shouts Lily, with a storm of emotions reflected on her face.

"I'm only asking something specific." He is a naturally born torturer, asking the questions that Lily wants to avoid the most.

"We met the day you found me in that small hotel five years ago."

That is quick and unexpected, even quicker than he thought.

He curls his lips mockingly, "To see if I got it right, while I was worried to death looking for you, you were with him?!"

Lily knows he wouldn't understand if she tells him, "It was an accident."

She had no clue who the man was at that time and she was in a dangerous situation. She just had the bad luck of falling victim of a misfortunate event. She kept it secret to protect him, she did not want to make him worried. How could she expect this situation today?

"Accident you say? Well." He gulps several times, showing emotions that need to erupt, "Let’s keep going. Second question: did you come to Britain together, you and Ryan?"

Lily’s disguised calmness is completely gone now, panic is all over her face and she stutters, "I, I..."

She wants to deny it but lies are not admitted and she definitely is incapable of hiding her true feelings, he would know for sure!

Nevertheless, to Rex her reaction is already an answer.

The black eyes are filled with disappointment. He repeats the same words, but this time it is not a question, "You came to Britain with him!"

Lily’s greatest fear has become real - to be totally misunderstood.

"Last question." Rex's heart is bleeding. He has three questions previously arranged and the first answer wounded him, the second one did too, the last one might ends him or making him forgive her. He is playing all out and everything depends on her answer.

Rex dwells on it for a long time.

Lily can hardly breathe. She watches him as he walks toward her slowly, step by step. He leans over, places his hand over her shoulder, getting closer but keeping the safe distance at the same time, he wants to observe carefully the expressions on her face.

She suddenly regrets agreeing to Rex's request.

It is clear, he must have known something...!

"You…" Time stops, he breaths, "This so-called accident, I need to know, was it a real accident or was it all contrived?"
