Let's Get Married novel Chapter 371

After Vivian leaves, Amelia asks Rex a few questions. Seeing that he is reluctant to say anything, she goes back home with Eduard and Florence.

Rex’s granddad calls him into the study. Granddad sits next to the table, while Rex is standing on the other side of the table. The atmosphere of confrontation is very obvious in the study.

"Let's talk about it. What is going on with the kid? " Granddad asks first.

Rex answers with not much facial expression, "He is lily’s and my kid. He is four years old and looks like me. That’s all."

"I'm asking you exactly what's going on! When and where the kid was born? Tell me all in detail!" Granddad rises up his volume.

Hearing this, Rex answers with bitterness, "Lily was pregnant five years ago when the accident happened. She left me for that kid. She gave birth in the UK and raised him by herself. I don't know much more. You have to ask her yourself if you want to know more."

It is not just them who are not there for her all these years, but also himself.

Granddad listens carefully, and finally says, "What is the kid's name?"

"Adair. It means Fortune and spear. Wish Adair has flair, the grace of a Fred Astaire."

"Is it a boy?"

"Yes."

Granddad nods his head, "It's a good name, but... why does he follow Lily's family name?"

"She didn't want me to know when she gave birth. That’s why he follows Lily’s family name. Also, you don't have to worry about her purpose of coming back. Isn't it right?" Rex knows that they will consider why she comes back, so he just mentions it first to keep their mouths shut.

"No matter what happened with you and her, the kid has to follow our family name. Or else we will be a joke of others!" Rex’s granddad is very conservative. He thinks the kid has to follow the dad’s family name.

However, his granddad doesn't treat differently between boys and girls, as long as they are from his family.

Rex thinks it ridiculous with what his granddad says. But what his granddad says also means his approving of this kid, but…

"Lily gave birth and raised the kid all by herself. Adair’s name is on her family book. Do you really think you can change Adair’s family name easily? Even though I want to change it, Lily is not necessarily willing to do so."

"Why would she say no? If the kid joins in our family, there are only benefits for him."

"Do you think everyone is craved to join in our family? She has comfortable life in the UK by herself. Without me, she earns enough wealth for the rest of her life."

"You!" Granddad gets speechless. He pats the table angrily, "You are just fascinated with that woman!"

"Yes, I am fascinated with her." By now, Rex does not deny it anymore. "And I was fascinated with her five years ago. You knew it."

"Okay, good, you are good..." Granddad is completely speechless. He can only stare at him. After a while, he says angrily, "If you have the ability, just handle all these things nicely. Don’t make me and your grandma worry for you. You are already 37 years old. How many five more years do you have to wait?"

What he says is exactly what Rex waits for. His dark eyes narrow down a bit with a sharp light flashing by, "I want to be stable with her. I will be with Lily immediately if you agree so."

Granddad finally understands what happens. Rex is trying to irritate him to get what he wants.

Granddad calms himself down and asks ambiguously, "Didn't you say that even though you want it, Lily is not necessarily willing to do so? Suddenly, it all depends on your decision?"

"Then let’s wait and see if I can take them back to me."
