Let's Get Married

Chapter 376: Deprive His Right to Be a Father

She feels like a completely unqualified mother today when she failed to fulfill a mother’s duty. “Did that scare you? Don’t worry. Mom’s here with you. It won’t ever happen again.”

Rex hears the conversation between them in the back, his heart aching. He can’t help but suggest although he knows that he’d better keep silent now, “I can drive you home.”

“I’m good,” Lily refuses his request without a second thought. She warns furiously, “I can take care of my own son. Don’t bother to do these for us. And please tell you family do not bother me and my kid. There’s no need to do so.”

“Lily, I know you have hard feelings about this. But I didn’t mean to…”

“Well, it happened anyway whether or not you meant to.” Lily can’t accept any explanations under the circumstance because the result is clear enough. She saw what they did to her kid, “They are so heartless. How could they do this to a child?”

Rex’s choking on the words, realizing the only thing he can do now is to apologize rather than to explain, “I am sorry.”

“There’s no need to apologize. If you really care about me and Adair, let us leave.”

After today’s incident, Lily’s attitude towards him reverts to that when they met in England. Rex understands he has pushed her further away.

Lily is going to get out of here when she notices a small force is pulling her shirt. She looks down and sees Adair turning to look at Rex.

Startled, she asks, “Adair?”

Adair is only a four-year-old little guy, yet his eyes mix with a dozen emotions when he looks at Rex, mostly confusion and doubts.

Lily is a bit confused of his act and then a childish yet courageous voice comes, “So, are you my dad?”
