Let's Get Married

After leaving the villa, Lily calls Harry and Bree on the road to assure them that everything is okay. The driver soon takes them back to Abby’s apartment.

The paleness in Lily’s face gives Abby a shock when Lily comes back. “What’s wrong?”

Lily slams the door behind her, walking towards the couch. She wraps her arms around the kid, breathing unsteadily. “Adair, it’s alright. We are home. Everything is fine.”

Abby has no clue about what happened and feels anxious. But it’s obviously not an appropriate time to ask Lily with the kid around. Therefore, Abby comforts him gently, “Adair, you must be tired, right? How about Auntie taking you to bed to rest and having delicious food when you wake up?”

Adair is indeed exhausted after a whole day being out. “Okay.”

“Good boy, sweetie.” Abby takes him to get washed up. This four-year-old kid is able to brush his teeth and wash his face all on his own, more independent than other kids his age.

Worried that he might get scared alone, Abby gives him a plush rabbit toy to sleep with him. She then retreats from the room after he tucks himself in.

Lily is still sitting on the couch, her hands put against the knees and face burying in the palms, looking terrible.

Abby walks to her side, patting her back tenderly. She asks with a concerned voice, “What on earth is going on?”

She ducks her head for a while, then straightens up, answering slowly, “Rex’s family took Adair to have a paternity testing.”

Even though she has an inkling of something went wrong, this answer is still beyond her imagination. “What the hell?! And the kid…”

“Yes, Adair knows.”

Abby’s eyes are wide open, and she heaves a sigh of shock. “Oh, my goodness…”
