Let's Get Married

Lily goes upstairs and opens the door. There is a tall man in good shape sitting on the crouch. Hearing the footsteps, the man turns around and says to her in a clear voice, “How’s the talk going?”

“I don’t know.” Lily is in a confused state of mind. She has no idea what the talk means for her and Rex.

“Did he harass you?” Ryan is worried about her. He tries to keep a calm tone, comforting, “Let me know if you need anything.”

Lily is slightly touched by his sincerity. It’s hard to have such a good man who would like to do everything for you unconditionally. Ryan is so good a person that he deserves a better woman.

“Thank you, Ryan,” She feels guilty about the trouble she has made for him. “I owe you too much. I don’t want to get you into trouble because of me.”

“Lily,” Ryan calls her name, frustrated, “could you stop being so polite to me? I don’t treat you well for wanting you to do something for me in return. The only thing I want is that you can take care of yourself and Adair. Do you understand?”

Lily has mixed feelings about him, “But…”

“Do you have a feeling that you never find it stressful when Rex brings you happiness or trouble? But when I do the same to you, you’re so afraid of not being able to make up for me, even after I told you that I never want anything in return.” he smiles bitterly with a pitifully hopeless look. “I’m so jealous of that man. He can get all your love. But when it comes to us, you draw a boundary I can never cross.”

“Ryan, I…” Lily wants to explain.

“You don’t have to say anything. I understand.” he says. Forcing her to tell him her feelings is not his intentions. Besides, she is too involved in the relationship to even understand her own feelings. “I just want you to know that I will always be there for you and Adair when you need me.”

Lily is on the verge of tears hearing his confession. The way she treats him is so unfair. She ponders for a moment and makes up her mind and says, “Actually, we talked about Adair today. He wants me to go back to City J.”
