Let's Get Married

When Rex returns to the villa, it is almost 11 o’clock. As expected, she is waiting for him. When he opens the door of the bedroom, he finds that the wall lamp is on, and that she is leaning against the head of the bed, with a pile of documents in hand. These are documents about the case that she is responsible for. Beside her, the laptop on the desk is opened, with two words on the word text document – “Final Report”.

And the woman, who said that she will go to sleep when he comes back, falls asleep. With her head bowed, her neck vertebra also stoops in a posture that makes her very uncomfortable.

Rex walks over her and takes the documents in her hands away. He slights leans forward to protect her neck, and slowly puts her down onto the bed. He doesn’t want to disturb her repose, but she is still awakened.

Lily vaguely feels that someone is moving her body. She opens her eyes in a daze, and sees the sexy lower jaw of the man. Then she subconsciously hooks his neck with her arms, murmuring, “What’s the time?”

“It’s almost 11 o’clock.” Rex pulls the quilt over her, saying, “You are sleepy, just have a good dream. Does your neck hurt?”

“I said that I will wait for you. Luckily, it’s not too late.” Lily doesn’t release her hold. She affectionately rubs against his neck with her face like a kitten, and then asks, “Are you hungry?”

Rex feels warm when hearing her question. He has been dreaming that someone would ask him such question when he comes back home for years. He replies in a soft tone, “I’m not hungry. I ate the noodles you cooked for me earlier. Do you forget it?”

“Oh, that’s it. I forget it.” Lily rubs at her eyes, replying. It seems that asking whether he has had a meal has been a habit for her.

“Go to sleep now. I’ll take a shower first.” Seeing that Lily is really sleepy, Rex doesn’t have the heart to tell her that thing. He has been a determined person, and never hesitates in doing things, but this time, he hesitates.

Lily grabs his hand, saying, “Go and change your clothes. I’ll prepare the water for you. You must be tired after today’s work, just have a bath and relax yourself.”

As she saying, she wants to snatch the covers off, but Rex presses her shoulders to stop her. His eyes become scarlet. He didn’t go to the company today, so his hair is combed casually. He is thankful that his bangs in front of the forehead are long enough to cover his eyes, which also cover his embarrassment.

“No, I’ll do it by myself.”

In usual, Lily never acts like this, but today… Thinking of the things happened in the North Villa, Lily feels distressed.
