Let's Get Married novel Chapter 523

He will only listen to her.

Lily is surprised by what he says, and she becomes a little sober in the cool wind.

Last night, he seemed to ask her for advices, but Lily could tell that he was going to take the case. So she became emotional and quarreled with him. She is surprised that he would give up because she is against it.

She knows that it would be difficult for Rex to change his mind, because he is firm and insists on upholding justice. But now he does change his mind and is not going to take the case.

Lily is astonished. She is very surprised that he makes such a choice. She doesn't see the slightest bit of reluctance in his eyes. He is willing to do anything for her.

Lily's tears gush out once again. She reaches out and hugs Rex's neck. Her tears quickly soak his collar. She says, "I'm sorry. I know you want to take it. I'm just afraid that you would be in danger...."

Sensing that she calms down, Rex heaves a sigh of relief and hugs her. "I know. It's my fault."

However, Lily shakes her head and says, "It's not your fault. I'm too selfish. I want you to be mine, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

What she says is what she truly feels. Rex hugs her tightly and says, "OK, I won't take it. I'll spend more time with you and Adair."

The night wind sweeps away their quarrel, but Lily doesn't feel better. She finally gets out of the car and goes back home with Rex hand in hand. It is late and Adair is asleep. The house is quiet, and the sound of footsteps coming upstairs is a little obvious.

After they enter the bedroom, the sensor light lights up and shines at Lily's red eyes. Seeing that she is in silence, Rex sits by the bed and pulls her to sit on his legs. He looks up at her and says, "Why are you still unhappy?"

Lily doesn't say anything. She is unhappy. Even if he agrees to her request, she can't feel happy.

She doesn't want Rex to take the case. Rex decides not to take the case, but she doesn't feel relieved. Instead, she feels depressed.

Seeing that she is absent-minded, Rex touches her face and asks, "Are you dizzy?"

"Rex," she suddenly calls his name in a soft voice.

Rex gently looks into her eyes and says, "Go ahead."

"Do you want to take that case?" Lily bites her lips. She thinks that she is unreasonable. Rex has promised her that he won't take the case, but she keeps asking the question.

Rex wants to answer "no" so that she can feel better. However, being honest is the most important thing for them to be together. So he hesitates for a few seconds and nods honestly, "Yes, I want to take it."

Lily is unhappier to hear his answer. She looks down and says, "I never want to interfere in your work."

"I know."

"But I'm interfering..."

"You are doing it for my own good."

Lily is more upset. She thinks she is the same as those people who force others to do something they dislike on the excuse of "for your own good".

He says softly, "Don't think too much. Go take a bath and sleep. Otherwise, you'll have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. Don't go out for drinks so late at night anymore. I'll be worried."

He was so panicked when she didn't answer her phone. If she kept not answering her phone, he would ask Pehry locate her and directly rush over to her.

Lily knows that she was wrong, so she admits her mistake and says, "It's my fault. I won't do it again."
