Let's Get Married novel Chapter 72

Sure enough, when Rex heard that Lily is uncomfortable, his burning flames can be controlled. He lifts her up patiently from the chair and simply greets Karl and the gang and left.

When they have arrived at the corner of the second floor, Lily still shouts to the second floor, “Sally, let’s contact again later—”

Karl doesn’t expect that only after a meal, she could establish a friendship with Sally.

Sally gets her dander up by his stare and responses unnaturally, “Well, be careful on your way home.”

When Lily and Rex have completely left, Karl pulls the chair beside Sally and sits down. He then reaches out to pick a strawberry from the fruit tray on the table and puts it in his mouth then jokes, “Nice, huh?”

Sally’s body went stiff when hearing his joke and doesn’t continue to make a mess, and then says, “Karl, shall we go now?”

Karl notices her stiffened body and feels that it wasn’t enough, and then he deliberately put a hand on the back of her chair, “Let’s wait for a while.”

Sally smells the strong mint fragrance that is mixed with alcohol on his body and puts her hands on the legs. A sweat soon comes out of her palm.

Didn’t he tell ‘me’ to drive? Why is it so awkward….

In front of the restaurant, the driver is already waiting.

Once they enters the car, the heat is turned on, which makes Lilly feels so hot. She then takes off her jacket and puts it on the co-driver seat. Now, she barely wears a tight white jumpsuit, revealing her graceful curve.

Rex afraid that she might be cold and also afraid to get horn, then takes off his coat and put in on her. Lily, who is forced to wear it, soon is full of sweat in the forehead.

“Are you drunk?” He raises his hand to touch her cheeks. His palm is hot.

Lily bits her lips and shakes her head, “I’m fine.”

She is not as drunk as the last time with Abby, at least she is still conscious with a little dizzy.

“I’m gone for a while and you’re drunk.” If he went back later again, she might have finished a bottle of wine.

Lily talks back, “I’m twenty-four years old now. I know what I’m doing.”

He looks ridiculously at her red face, “You know what you’re doing?”

“….” Lily chokes.

Well, she occasionally indulges for a while.

However, talking about age, Rex recalls her words saying that he is old. He remembers that it wasn’t the first time he hears such a word from her mouth. If it is only once, she might be sarcastic, but if there is a second and third time, it means she sincerely mean it.

Thinking of it, Rex twists her face and asks sullenly, “Do you think I’m very old?”

Lily surely doesn’t dare to admit it at this moment, she could only denied it again and again, “No, no. I’m kidding just now.”

No…. no?

Why does it sound so awkward?

Knowing that she doesn’t tell the truth, Rex changes the strategy to a softer way, “I’m thirty-two this year, which means eight years older than you, it’s normal that you think I’m old.”

Lily blinks and feels sorry with his self-acknowledgment. Based on his character, he should be mad fiercely or make her admit that he is not old. This is why, his sudden admittance makes her feels uncomfortable.

Did she hurt his self-esteem?

Thinking of it, Lily suddenly regrets it. After all, he is a man with pride, saying it in front of his friend might not the best thing.
