Let's Get Married novel Chapter 372

Lily walks towards the car’s door unsurely. Once she gets close to the door, she hears an unlock sound "click". She takes a deep breath and opens the door. She looks at the man on the driver's seat without stepping in, "Why are you here?"

Half of the man's face is illuminated by the roof light, and the other half is hidden in the dark. After a while, he says with a deep voice, "Get in the car."

Lily is annoyed from his arrogant attitude and his commanding tone. She subconsciously resists him, "I..."

"I can't park here for so long. Come in first."

"..." She has no choice but to sit in.

After she gets in the car, Rex accelerates the car immediately on the main road towards Abby’s apartment. Lily's body is buckled tight by the seat belt. She feels her limbs seem to be controlled tight by an invisible net, which makes her feel restrained.

"Where is Adair?" He finally asks, but only about the kid. Thinking about their current relationship, it seems that apart from the kid's problem, there is nothing they can talk about. Other than that, there are always quarrels when they talk about something else.

"At home. I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of him, so I leave him at my parents."

"Do they get along well?"

When he mentions this, she is subconsciously nervous that even her heart feels twisted for a second, "...not bad."

Hearing this, Rex thinks for a moment and says, "I told my family about Adair."

He mentions it suddenly that Lily almost doesn't keep up with his thoughts. After thinking for two seconds, she understands what he means. She gets even more surprised, "What!?"

His family does not accept her before. Now if they know that she comes back with Rex’s kid, what will they do…

"Rex, are you crazy?! You told them about Adair without asking me?" Lily gets super angry. She stares at him in disbelief, "What will they do to Adair after you tell them? What if they don’t accept Adair? What if they try to hurt Adair? Did you think about it? You keep telling me that you want Adair back. This is how you show your love? You are so selfish..."

Her words are like a sword sticking in his heart, killing him without even giving him a chance to explain. She never believes him since the beginning.

"They want to hug their great-grandson. That’s all, nothing else." Rex squeezes out a sentence from his throat, interrupting her accusation.

Lily admits that she is not calm enough when it comes to Adair. But it’s because she is told what happens without any preparations inside. She can take whatever it comes, but can Adair do the same? She doesn’t want Adair to get any bit of harm, physically or mentally.

Now Adair gets to the age of starting knowing the world. If someone says something mean to him, he will remember it forever. He may even hate her and Rex as well.

So hearing what he says, her first reaction is that it is irony. "They can hug as long as they want to? Do I need to kneel down to thank them for their tolerance and selflessness?"

"Squeak-"

The tires rub against the ground under the emergency braking and make a squeak sound.

Rex suddenly stops the car on the side of the road. His face is serious and gloomy, "When did I say that I agreed? When did I force you to accept it? I just want my kid to be accepted by my family. I just don’t want them to feel that I have nothing. I am just happy to be a father. I am so excited that I can feel my blood is boiling. You think I am selfish. Lily, if anyone hurts my kid, I will get it back a hundred times before they do it. I cherish him more than anyone!"

He knows that she is sensitive and suspicious when it comes to Adair. He also understands her feelings as a mother. But can she be a little considerate about his feelings as a father?
