Let's Get Married novel Chapter 571

Rex plays a great role in this transnational smuggling case. This is the first case he takes after returning to the legal world. No one knows what has happened. They only see the result. Rex has become more famous and respected than before. Many people tell Adair about how great his father is, but what Adair really wants is to meet his dad.

"When can I see them?" He looks at Abby hopefully. He really wants to get an answer from her.

Abby can't bear to look at Adair's clear eyes. She says, "They miss you too. Instead of unwilling to come back, they just cannot do it for the time being. When everything's settled, they'll definitely come back to see you."

Adair does not say anything. He lowers his head again.

He has heard this countless times from his grandparents. At first, he prays every day that his parents will come back to him once they are free. But now ... he has been waiting for a long time. He starts to wonder. Will they come back?

Abby notices that Adair isn't in a good mood and he hasn't eaten much. She thinks for a moment and then says, "How about this? Besides your parents, who else do you want to see? Godmother can grant you one other wish!"

After all, Adair is still a child. Hearing her words, he immediately stops thinking about the matter with his parents. Adair blurts out a name almost without hesitation, "Uncle Ryan!"

Abby is surprised. She asks, "Do you miss him?"

"Yeah. I haven't seen him for a long time. I wanted to call him, but I was afraid that maybe he would find me annoying."

Adair is sensible at such a young age, which makes people feel even more distressed.

Abby agrees, "Okay, I will call him and ask him to spend some time with you."

"Really?"

"Really!" As she speaks, Abby extends her little finger, "It's a deal!"

Only then does Adair put on a smile. He hasn't smiled so happily by now today. He crosses his little finger with hers and says, "Do you promise?"

"I promise!"

After dinner, Abby goes to the mall with Adair to buy a few toys before sending him back to RED Community. It is late, and soon Adair falls asleep after getting washed up.

Bree and Harry are still sitting in the living room. Obviously, they still have questions for Abby.

"Abby, you are Lily's best friend. Would you please tell us the truth? Lily has been out for such a long time on business. Did anything happen to her?"

To be honest, Abby isn't very clear about the specific situation over there. She knows everything form Orson, but Orson doesn't seem to understand the whole picture either. As far as she acknowledges, Lily wouldn't have left the child behind for so long if it weren't for something serious.

Abby doesn't want Bree and Harry to worry about anything, so she says optimistically, "Lily has a very important case this time. It seems that her boss doesn't want anyone not involved in the case to be told. It should be classified. I think that she will come back soon after handling the case. It may not be convenient for her to contact you for the time being. Don't worry. You should take care of yourselves."

"How can we not worry about her? We've never lost touch with her before. It has been such a long time and she only gave us a few phone calls. I am really worried that something might have happened to her."

"It can't be. Besides, she has Rex by her side. There should be no surprises," Abby tries her best to comfort the two. After all, they are getting old, and it might not be the best idea to tell them the truth. They may not be able to withstand the blow.

"Is she really with Rex?" Bree does not believe it. After all, it's been such a long time since they got touch with Lily. Bree has to be suspicious.

However, this is the thing that Abby can guarantee, so she says, "Yes, I am sure that they are together."

"That's good." Harry, who has been silent all this while, suddenly heaves a sigh of relief. He says, "Rex is a bit more mature. With him around, Lily should be safer."

Although Bree is still worried, there is nothing else she can do. She can only say to Abby with concern, "Abby, if you have any news of the two of them, please tell us."

"Don't worry, Bree. I will."
