Let's Get Married novel Chapter 378

When she wakes up the second day, Lily goes to the bedroom to look at the kid. Luckily, the child’s mood is as the same as usual, there isn’t any big difference. Only then is she more relieved.

Abby is aware of her current situation and she takes the day off. She goes out early to buy breakfasts for them. She has never done this before but now she is making soy milk for them.

Lily is very touched and thanks Abby but Abby stares widely at her, “What are you saying? Quickly sit down and eat.”

The three of them has a simple breakfast of dumplings, fritters, and soy milk. Abby asks Adair where he wants to go for fun in J City. The mood is pleasant and they are laughing happily. Unfortunately, this didn’t last for long and a phone call interrupts.

It is an unknown number. Lily looks at the unfamiliar numbers and hesitates before accepting the call, “Hello?”

“Hello, good day, may I ask if you are Lily?” The caller is a lady whose voice is sharp. One can tell that she is young and very polite.

“It’s me, who’s that speaking?”

“I’m the Principal of Monty International Kindergarten, Molly Hanson. I see that you intend to have your child attend this kindergarten. Our school has two intakes each year and if you want to attend now, it will have to be in a mixed class, that’s why…”

“Wait a minute.” Lily interrupts her flawless speech, she feels dazed by her series of statements, “I didn’t inquire about your school, where did you obtain my contact number?”

The principal is surprised when she hears Lily’s reply. She seems to be verifying something and continues, “This is your number, I’m not mistaken. The person who left you number was a senior gentleman with the last name Gabbot.”

Last name Gabbot.

Lily grasps her cell phone and blood rushes to her head. She stiffens up and turned down the caller, “My child doesn’t need to go to your school, and I don’t plan to. Bye.”

After finishing, she hangs up the call but she still feels troubled.

Yesterday it was a paternity test, today it’s kindergarten. The Senior Gabbot, Rex’s grandfather, really doesn’t respect her as a mother of the child.

Who gave him this idea that he can do what he wants with her child?

Lily is so angry that her face flushes in red. Coincidentally, Rex calls and she takes the phone to the kitchen. She answers and before the caller can say anything, she yells, “Just now the Kindergarten called about admission details, it’s yourgrandfather who registered. What does your family take us for? Something that you can shove around?”

Rex wanted to simply ask if she had taken her breakfast but those words were shafted back into his throat.

“My grandfather contacted the kindergarten?”

“Go and ask him, I don’t want to say anymore. Rex, this time I’m back to have a good discussion with you but now it appears that there isn’t any need. You Gabbot family repeatedly crossed my bottom line and dignity. No one could endure these and I no longer want to endure!”

“Lily dear…”

“Don’t call me that.” Lily purses her lips and said cruelly, “It’s nauseating.”

Rex stands by the table and stared at the phone indicating that the call had ended. Her last words continues to resonate in his ears.

He was not surprised that Lily would say these with what happened yesterday plus today’s actions by his grnadfather. If it had happened to him, he would’ve been even more worked up.

When did his personal matters become something that others can interfere with?

These five years he was indifferent about many matters but that was because Lily wasn’t around. Now that she is back, they are now used to making decisions for him?
