Let's Get Married

Though she has prepared herself for the news, Lily still can’t help clenching her hands when Rex utters the result.

She gives a faint smile and looks away, saying, “It is already a mercy for someone who committed a murder.”

She understands that he has tried his best.

“Lily…” In deep agony, Rex finds it hard to even say a single word. But still, he has to hold his emotion and keeps saying, “I wanted to bail you, but it just seems so hard right now.”

“Don’t worry. I was prepared for this. This the cost for my ‘caprice’.” When the on-court confession happened, she already knew what would be waiting for her.

They look at each other, both deeply suffering. Two lovebirds are torturing each other. Though every single cell in their body is crying for another’s love, reality comes in and shatters everything.

“I have been trying to pull some strings. But this event has brought too much social attention, so no one dares to respond right now. Just wait until everything cools down, and I promise you it won’t be too long.”

Lily stares at the man standing before her. Because of the lawsuit, Rex is not the same man he used to be. He is now full of angst, worry, sadness and weakness, which should never appear on someone like him. On the thought of this, Lily is eaten by guilt and her heart breaks.

He used to be tough and confident. He shouldn’t become like this for her.

Heavy-hearted, Rex reaches out for the pack of cigarette inside his suit. He took out one cigarette and is ready light it before Lily stops him.

Rex looks up, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Although she always dislikes him smoking, she seldom stops him on the spot.

Worrying about the child she is carrying, Lily looks at the cigarette and then him, saying naturally, “Don’t smoke too much, since you have already been coughing recently.”
