Let's Get Married

Lily walks towards the car’s door unsurely. Once she gets close to the door, she hears an unlock sound "click". She takes a deep breath and opens the door. She looks at the man on the driver's seat without stepping in, "Why are you here?"

Half of the man's face is illuminated by the roof light, and the other half is hidden in the dark. After a while, he says with a deep voice, "Get in the car."

Lily is annoyed from his arrogant attitude and his commanding tone. She subconsciously resists him, "I..."

"I can't park here for so long. Come in first."

"..." She has no choice but to sit in.

After she gets in the car, Rex accelerates the car immediately on the main road towards Abby’s apartment. Lily's body is buckled tight by the seat belt. She feels her limbs seem to be controlled tight by an invisible net, which makes her feel restrained.

"Where is Adair?" He finally asks, but only about the kid. Thinking about their current relationship, it seems that apart from the kid's problem, there is nothing they can talk about. Other than that, there are always quarrels when they talk about something else.

"At home. I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of him, so I leave him at my parents."

"Do they get along well?"

When he mentions this, she is subconsciously nervous that even her heart feels twisted for a second, "...not bad."

Hearing this, Rex thinks for a moment and says, "I told my family about Adair."

He mentions it suddenly that Lily almost doesn't keep up with his thoughts. After thinking for two seconds, she understands what he means. She gets even more surprised, "What!?"
