Let's Get Married

After childbirth, Lily tries to get back to normal life and make a living in this new country.

Thanks to her prior studying experience in Toronto, she can basically speak English without strong accent and practice daily conversation.

But what she knows is just basic knowledge, and there is still a lot for her to learn. Therefore, with the help from Ryan, she goes to college and majors in law.

With time passing, Lily is occupied with taking care of Adair as well as studying. When Ryan comes by, she also needs to attend to him. Sometimes she does part-time jobs. She doesn’t have time to think about what happened before and life just goes on this way.

Through half a year’s studying, Lily has mastered expressions which were once strange to her, and also gained deeper insights into Britain’s law.

She passes the test and gets the certificate required to be a lawyer, after which she is offered an internship at a local legal firm.

Though British here are biased against Asians, Lily holds out. At first, she does negligible jobs like running errands, buying coffee and cleaning office. Then she gets to handle some cases.

Through hard work, Lily is proving that she is not a good-for-nothing.

During two years at the law firm, she begins as an intern and finally becomes an official worker, jumping from a grass-root worker to a barrister. She has won many cases and helped a lot of people. No matter how hard it is to win a case, she never gives up. While she is gaining approval from colleagues, her salary also gets higher.

However, Lily chooses to resign now.

Her boss is a 1.9-meter-tall white man. He does a lot of body language when talking. He is habitually cranky but also takes talented people seriously. He says to her, "Lydia, you are doing a great job. I don't think you should resign. If it is the problem of salary, I am sure we can discuss it."

Smiling, Lily shakes her head and hands over the resignation, saying, “Ken, I gave it a lot of thought. I have my own plan and hope you can understand.”
