Let's Get Married

Lily is totally dumbfounded at that question. It is just another ordinary sentence, but for some reasons she can’t face it head on. She is completely at a loss in this situation.

Just as she is lost in her thoughts, the man in front of her suddenly brushes past her, and lowers himself to put a stop to the awkwardness. “I’m your mother’s good friend.”

“Friend?” The little boy’s eyes light up instantly as he looks like he understands what Rex is saying. “I know! I have a lot of friends too in the kindergarten!”

Rex carefully studies the little boy whose height barely reaches Lily’s thigh. His face is fair, like the suet jade and he has distinguishable baby fat that a boy of that age possesses. He can see that his chin is slightly protruded and his mouth resembles Lily’s while his eyes and nose take after his features.

He doesn’t need to verify whether this little child is his own child, all it takes a glance to vanquish all his doubts and suspicion.

This is definitely his child, or more specifically their child.

Whenever he registers in his mind that this little kid is related to him, he feels like his whole body is burning up and an inexplicable emotion is surging throughout his body. A sense of longing and nostalgia accompanied by loss and anxiety are threatening to blow him up.

The man can’t help feeling sorry and regretful for this woman, who repeatedly mentioned that she never loved him, who told him that she has fallen for another guy. She was feeble and helpless with nothing to rely on, but she had somehow been bearing and eventually giving birth to his child in a foreign country.

If what she has said before is true, that she has forgotten everything between them, then what logical explanation is there for her to do all this for him?

He is now thirty seven and no longer young. Although his features and figure still carry a resemblance of himself when he was thirty, it is another story when it comes to his thinking. He now craves for his own family, a family where he can love his wife and children.

But his dreams were shattered five years ago in that accident and he really thought that his life was over, that he will carry his regrets to death’s door, alone, and he really thought that he won’t have any chance to immerse himself in this kind of happiness. Alas, God does not abandon him completely; this turns out to be quite the pleasant surprise for him.

Rex stands there stiffly like a pine tree as he registers the doubts and suspicion in the little boy’s eyes. It is only natural he can’t recognize his father who has been absent in his life for five years.
