Let's Get Married novel Chapter 626

Florence echoes, "That's right, brother. Help me this time, okay?"

Amelia and Florence stare at him waiting for his consent, while he slowly crosses his legs and says sternly, "If I give you a postgraduate recommendation, do you know how unfair it is to others?"

Everything he has, Rex has fought for it. He managed to be sent abroad to study at government expenses and get his full scholarship by striving to be the best. Otherwise, Han Yu Law Firm would not be what it is today.

He doesn't come from money. He is a self-made man.

He is wavering and doesn't want to seem ruthless. However, he knows Florence hasn't worked for this at all. If she has tried her best but still can't reach the standard, he would help her.

He has been helping her through difficulties since she is young. She could use her young age as an excuse, but now she is a college student, and Rex can't watch her goofing off like this anymore.

Hearing him say that, Amelia realizes he probably won't help Florence, asking anxiously, "Rex! Just this once, help your sister! She is your blood. Please."

Rex frowns harder. It looks like Amelia is desperate and doesn't give him room for disagreement.

She is using the kinship card, and he can't fight that.

The living room falls into an unbearable silence. Florence is the most anxious one. She has bragged about getting a postgraduate recommendation to her classmates. If that is toasted, she will be humiliated.

"One last time." In the end, Rex agrees. "You are 24 and no longer a child. I won't help you in your living expenses or any other matters. One has to earn others' respect on his own, understand?"

Florence finally relaxes, but her face has turned red lectured by him. Although unconvinced, she still nods and says, "Got it, brother."

Amelia heaves a sigh of relief. She picks up the teacup on the table and takes a sip, saying, "I'm so happy. You are siblings, so you should help each other. Florence, Rex is your role model."

Florence reluctantly replies, "I know."

Amelia looks towards the kitchen and says, "Dinner is still not ready?"

Coincidentally, just as she says that, Lily comes out of the kitchen. Looking at the three people sitting quietly in the living room, she senses some embarrassment in the air. Then she walks over and pats Rex's shoulder gently. "Dinner is almost ready. Go and wash your hands."

With her soft hand on his shoulder, Rex cheers up a little. He stands up and walks towards the bathroom without saying a word.

"There's another tap in the dining hall. Amelia, Florence, you can wash your hands there," Lily says politely. Then she goes to find Rex in the bathroom.

She opens the door and finds that he isn't washing his hands but standing in front of the sink with a cold face. Lily sighs helplessly and closes the door. She walks to him and says, "Did you quarrel with your mother?"

"No." For him, it is not an altercation, but a slight disagreement.

Lily laughs and shakes her head. "You just wouldn't admit it. How can it not be a quarrel when you look so unhappy?"

Rex looks down at her bright little face. Ever since she received the treatment, she has been in a good mood. Although she has been in agony because of it, she weathers the storm and becomes more optimistic.
