Let's Get Married novel Chapter 358

Lily pulls open the door to the passenger seat and gets inside. She sees that the man is smoking right now, he is almost halfway through. When he sees her getting into the car, he immediately puts out the cigarette and opens the sunroof to let the smell disperse.

Lily suddenly feels a torrent of emotions tugging at her heart. She hates that every of his little actions and gazes is able to cause a swirl in her heart.

The night breeze keeps sweeping by, and the slight fragrance on the woman’s body steadily wafts up to his nose. He has notice this unique smell some time ago, but he was merely supressing his desire since their child was around.

Now that Adair is gone, there is a spark igniting the man’s eyes. He looks at her earnestly and says, “You’re not letting me go. What are you going to do?”

These words are simple and easy to understand, but through his mouth, they seem to wear a deeper meaning.

Lily feels a bit hot at the moment, she is afraid that she will reveal her true colours in from of him, so she tries to put on a façade and replies, “I want to talk to you about the child.”

After hearing these words, Rex is obviously stunned, but he recovers instantly as he smirks sarcastically. “Aren’t you always been avoiding this topic and insisting that he is not my child?”

There are signs of sarcasm all over his words, and Lily can sense it fine. She grits her teeth hard, “You are right, I have been trying to hide this from you.”

But at this stage, she is not going to hide anything anymore. She generously admits herself, “But that doesn’t seem to work, you are more persistent that I have imagined.”

“Persistent?” Rex looks as if he has heard something funny, but he immediately vanquishes his smile and put on a serious look. “He’s my child. Do you think that I’m a pushover? That I will see my son calling other men ‘dad’?”

Lily looks at him in disbelief, fury, resent and confusion. She is the type of person who can accept a nice attitude but not harsh forceful treatment. If someone is being hard on her, she will in turn do the same. Five years of living alone in a foreign country has taught her that, a determined and steely heart has already formed underneath her innocent and gentle appearance. When she hears that he’s throwing sarcasm at her, she immediately wants to get out of his car.

With a loud sound, the car locks are in place. No matter how hard she’s fumbling with the door knob, it is useless.

When Lily turns around and wants to question his intentions, suddenly a large force lifts her out of her seat, as she stares at the two strong palms pinching her waist and seeing she herself sitting on his thighs.

The strong and muscular legs are just beneath her butts, and Lily feels a burning sensation coming from her skin which is touching him. She screams frantically. “Rex, what are you doing? Let me go!”

She is struggling mightily, her body twisting and distorting without rest. Rex initially doesn’t think much of his actions, but now he’s provoked by her movements. Before he can say anything, he sees that her waist is pushed against the steering wheel, so he immediately adjusts his seat backwards as he shouts, “Don’t move!”

“Put me down!” Lily is pushing and hammering him now, but her all-out resistance doesn’t change the situation in her favour. She wails, “I’m just asking you to stay, not to be frivolous with me!”

“Frivolous with you?” He continued pinning her in place and increases his strength to hug her harder. His brows are in a knit as he says, “If hugging you like this means being frivolous with you, then five years ago I was already doing that…”

“Don’t bring up things that happened five years ago, I’m talking about now!” Lily is determined not to let him bring up the past, as those memories are sealed for too long. She always thought that she has forgotten about everything, but at his mere words, she can vividly recall those memories as a series of images in her mind as if they just happened yesterday. All she has been doing is lying to she herself.

She just doesn’t want to face all of these.
