Let's Get Married novel Chapter 598

Lunch lasts nearly an hour. During this time, Bree and Harry still keep on asking questions in worry. When there’s a question that Lily can’t answer, Rex will help her to take the question. The two cooperates well. Therefore Bree and Harry do not notice anything wrong.

They stay there for a while more after eating. It is three o’clock, and it is almost time for school dismissal. As they are finally back now, Lily and Rex decide to pick up the child from school themselves.

On the way to the school, as it is still early, they stop the car in front of an import toy shop. They go in and pick two boxes of beautifully crafted models before getting back on the road.

It is 4:20 when they arrive at school. The gate of the school opens. As the most prestigious primary school in J City, the children at the school are wealthy and have high status. During dismissal, there are all kinds of luxury cars parked in front of the school.

Soon, the children led by their teachers form a long line and walk out of the school in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Lily keeps searching in the crowd for the face that she has seen countless times in the video. The time spent in waiting is always the most excruciating. The children come out one after another, but there is no sign of Adair. Her palms are covered in cold sweats.

“Why isn’t he out yet?” Lily can’t help but whisper to the man beside her.

As if her wish has been heard. Before Rex speaks, a lovely, eye-catching, familiar face appears from the queue.

The handsome face that distinguishes him from the other children, and the mature and calm aura that he carries, make Lily immediately notices this child.

Who is it if not Adair?

His small body is dressed in a fitting uniform of a dark blazer and white shirt. The school’s badge is pinned to his chest, and there’s a blue tie on his collar. He looks both gentlemanly and cute.

Bree is usually the one who picks him up. So as soon as he leaves the school, Adair stands under a big tree at the parents’ waiting area, waiting for his grandmother to show up.

All the students around him have their parents with them, but he is the only one standing alone. His big eyes that look around are filled with envy. Even from so far away, Lily can see that clearly.

But, she is not the only one who feels bitter.

When Rex sees this, he feels bad about it. He immediately opens the car door and gets down, then walks over to his poor little son.

Lily follows close behind. Her small hand is clutched in his palm, which lets her feels a little more secure.

“Adair,” when they get closer, Rex opens his mouth and calls his name, only to find that his voice is a little hoarse. He clears his throat and calls again, “Adair.”

Adair, who is standing under the tree and waiting for his grandmother to come and pick him up from school, does not notice at all. Although he seems to hear someone calling out to him, he does not raise his head.

Neither mum nor dad is here. Surely it’s not them. It’s other children’s parents,

Adair thinks that. It is only when Rex walks to him and stands in front of him, Adair finally cranes his neck. When his eyes see the incredibly familiar face, he blinks a few times as if in disbelief.

His small body freezes at a loss. Surprise, bewilderment, disbelief, appear one by one in those big eyes which should have been childlike. Rex feels as if someone has hammered his heart. It feels so painful that his breathing quickened.

His tall body squats down. He reaches out to take the child into his arms, not daring to use too much force as he doesn’t want to frighten him, “Adair, mum and dad are here to pick you up.”
