Let's Get Married novel Chapter 627

Not long after Rex leaves the bathroom, Lily also walks out of it after washing her hands. The dishes and tableware are ready on the table. Fanny is an excellent cook. Even Rex, who is so picky, is satisfied with the food, let alone the others.

As expected, Amelia sighs as she eats, "Rex, the maid you hire is really good at cooking. She has done a better job than I ever could."

Rex nods slightly and doesn't say anything, because he is used to remaining silent at dinner.

It is a little awkward. Only the sound of chopsticks touching bowls can be heard. Although Lily wants to improve the atmosphere, she feels like she might achieve the opposite because she can't remember the time she had with Rex.

However, Florence is having a good appetite because she is expecting postgraduate school.

Lily drinks a bowl of delicious soup. Before she can savor it, it is finished. She wants more but is shy to pour herself another one, because Amelia is here.

Normally, Fanny would help her with the refill when she sees Lily desires for more. However, Fanny is busy in the kitchen.

When Lily is hesitating about whether to do it, a pair of hands with distinct joints appears in front of her. In the next second, her small white porcelain bowl is taken away.

Lily looks over and sees that the person is pouring the soup for her with his head down. He even avoids the oil to make her a light one.

Lily looks at him in surprise. How does he know she wants the soup...?

Amelia notices it. She knows Rex has been aloof since young and is bad at expressing his feelings, which she is already used to.

So, she feels a little strange when she sees the way Rex is around Lily.

Amelia is jealous. Her unapproachable son hasn't even done this for her once.

Amelia doesn't show much of her displeasure, only saying insincerely, "You know, I've never seen him be so considerate before. Lily, you are really lucky."

It would sound better coming out of another person's mouth. But when Rex's mother says it, it doesn't sound like she means it.

Although Lily can't remember things, she is not a fool. No need for pondering; she knows why Amelia says that.

Looking at the small bowl of soup in front of her, Lily doesn't want to embarrass Amelia. "Without you, how would I have the chance to meet him?"

Rex was slightly irritated, but Lily's words calm him down a lot. Although he knows it is for Amelia, he is happy to hear that.

Florence finally realizes what is happening and puts down her chopsticks, saying, "Sister-in-law, please visit us more often."

They are the right words to hear at this moment. Lily smiles and says, "Sure."

...

Amelia and Florence go home at half past one in the afternoon. Watching their car leave, Lily sighs deeply and says, "Gosh, finally. I was so nervous."

Rex leans back against the cabinet and looks at her with his hands crossed in front of his chest, saying calmly, "You were nervous? I couldn't tell at all."

"I was pretending to be cool. In fact, I was on edge." Lily still felt afraid. "She is your mother. If she had asked something private I can't remember, the whole thing would blow up. I don't remember anything, and...."

She is chattering about her worries. However, before she can pour it all out, she is pulled into a warm embrace.
