Let's Get Married

It is precisely because of this that she feels so grueling and wavering.

After the short yet passionate kiss, Rex pulls the chair beside her and seats himself, handing her the documents that were printed just now, “Honey, you suffered. Leaf through these documents. Mind your words during the court session, and make sure they won’t contradict with my arguments.”

Lily is dumbfounded for a while. His arguments?

Is he referring to the arguments about her pleading guilty?

Seeing that Lily doesn’t reply lowering her head, Rex takes her pale face in both hands. She can feel the warmth from his fingers. Rex consoles her, “Trust me. This is good to you. I will not let you suffer a little if the case is settled today.”

Lily looks up at him with her empty eyes and smiles, “Can the case be settled today?”

“Yes.” Rex claps her cold palms, “Of course yes.”

Lily shakes her head. Her eyes get red but no tears come out. It seems that she has cried out all her tears as she has cried too many times before. She murmurs in choked voice, “That’s really cruel.”

"You have me." Rex stretches out his hand and pulls her into his arms, fearing that she might have a mental breakdown. Seeing her suffering grievance, he feels pierced to the heart with guilt, “This is the last challenge. I will stand by your side.”

“But this is not the result I want.” She can’t help to blurt out even though it is useless to talk about this now.

“I know.” Rex gently pats her back to console her, “There are many things that we can’t change. We can just make a compromise for the sake of the best result. If I were you, I won’t be so overcautious like this. But Lily, you are the one involved, so I don’t dare to gamble. I don’t want you to take any risk.”

Of course Lily knows this.

However, she still feels a bit angry at his words. She slightly pushes him away and raises her head to look into his eyes, “Rex, I don’t care. What I want most is a fair judgment. Even if I can’t get the wanted result in the end, at least I won’t feel sorry for myself and I won’t regret it. If I plead guilty this time, I can’t take such kind of grievance…”

They gazes meet in the air. This is the first time that Rex sees the sparks of hope in her eyes since the accident.
