Let's Get Married

The car enters the main road, and the man takes the initiative to ask, “Where is the supermarket? Show me the way.”

Lily doesn’t want to interact too much with him as she replies, “Check the navigation system…”

“Are you sure you want to talk to me like that?” Although his tone is normal, he sounds a little bit upset nonetheless.

She subconsciously looks at Adair through the rear-view mirror, but luckily he does not seem to hear them. She grits her teeth hard, knowing that he is purposely torturing her, albeit verbally. She suddenly feels a surging rage as she says coldly, “Continue forward, turn left at the next intersection!”

“…”

“Turn right at the next intersection, and follow the left lane.”

“…”

“Continue straight, make a turn in front later.”

Lily is giving directions quite professionally, and Rex doesn’t really reply her too. He is only concerned about Adair as he keeps asking him whether he’s cold or not, whether it’s better to close the window. Lily is turning a blind eye on his words.

Lily must be thinking that there’s something wrong with her, that’s why she is feeling angry.

What is she angry about?

She doesn’t expect Rex to be good towards her; she still recalls that he is shunning her when they met just now.

When she is lost in her thoughts, the car is already parked in one of the parking lot spaces. Rex makes sure the car is stopped fully, and then he alights from it. He heads to the back of the car and pulls open the back door while stretching his hand towards the little kid.

Adair has unbuckled his seat belts as he steals a glimpse at the man’s massive shoulders. He is only undecided for one second before accepting his help.

When Lily steps out of the car, she sees that Rex is bending low to put the child down on the ground. The night breeze is caressing the man’s hair, and the young and tender voice can be heard clearly.

“Uncle, are you going to the supermarket with us?”

Rex is full of scheming intentions, unlike his usual cold and stony self, he is actually asking hypocritically, “I am willing to do that, but I’m not sure whether your mum is happy with that.”
