Let's Get Married

Joe is playing with Adair at a small garden in front of the restaurant. Once he sees Lily coming out of the restaurant, he brings Adair over to her and sees her reddened eyes. Joe could almost tell for sure and then says, “Lily, enjoy your meal.”

Lily knows that his words are loaded and she warms up immediately, “Yes, thank you. Let’s have dinner when we’re free.”

“Okay.”

Lily holds onto Adair’s small hand and walks through the large restaurant entrance before sighing in relief. When Adair sees the sea of flowers he becomes excited and shocked. He sees the messages and raises his head, “Mommy, these were prepared for you by Uncle?”

Lily leads him to the staircase and pauses when she hears him. She wants to say no but she realizes that they are the only ones in the restaurant and can only admit, “Yes.”

“Does Uncle like you? Is he proposing to you?” Adair suddenly asks.

Lily is stunned, “Why do you say that?”

“Because Uncle Ryan once told me that roses are usually given to someone you love and also for proposals.” After saying, he even stretches out his fair and short fingers and points at the rose petal covered staircase, “So many flowers, I’m right, it must be a proposal.”

Lily doesn’t expect that Ryan once said that to the kid.

She forces herself to be composed and squats down to look at Adair’s face. She sees his uneasy expression and softly assures him, “No matter whether uncle had proposed to mummy or not, it will never affect mommy’s love for you.”

But what Adair says next makes Lily surprised.

She sees him look up and scratch his head, his voice is soft but certain, “Mommy, actually I know that Uncle is my father. I, I… I feel that he is rather good. He explained to me why he didn’t look for Mommy and me. He doesn’t know that we existed.”

Lily doesn’t know that Rex had told her kid about these. She was afraid of hurting Adair and that’s why she lied to him but now she realizes that she could be wrong to do that. Now she doesn’t know what to say.
