Let's Get Married

It takes a long while for Lily to calm herself down. Fanny has left the room for the lovers quietly, and maybe she’s taking care of Adair now. Rex doesn’t say anything and just holds her in his arms quietly.

But he is not that calm in heart. He has been waiting for this hug for more than five years. The words “five years” are not that simple; it is not a period of time that flashes in a blink of eye. It was a long hard time for him.

“Don’t cry. Adair is still waiting for you outside. If he can’t see you later, he would complain about me again.” Rex comforts her in a low, soft voice.

Lily sniffs and loosens her grip, and then leaves his embrace. Since she cried so miserably in his arms just now, she feels quite awkward to face him again, pretending to be calm she says, “I see.”

Lily wipes away her tears and fans her eyes, looks at her image in the mirror, and then walks out of the bedroom after making sure that her nose and eyes are not so Red.

Rex was right. Just as she reaches the stairs of the second floor, she hears Adair shouting, “Mummy, will we leave? Where did you go just now?”

Lily walks over, and then squats down to stroke his head. She stuns for a moment and then asks, “Do you want to go hiking with Uncle Rex tomorrow?”

Adair blinks his big, watery eyes, “Of course I do. But, we should go back home…”

Lily hardens her heart when she sees Adair’s hesitation and depression, “If you want, you can stay here for one more night.”

“Oh yeah!” Hearing her words, Adair claps his hands with excitement, but at the next moment, he hesitates, “If mummy will not stay here, then I will not either. I want to be together with mummy…”

He must have recalled the question she asked her in the dining her, and Lily feels distressed for him, “Mummy will be here, mummy is with you.”

“Re… Really?” The little child’s eyes widen in excitement, seeming like he’s waiting for her assuring answer.

“Lily nods, “That’s true, mummy swears.”

“Oh great!!” Overjoyed, Adair runs around the living room, holding Fanny’s hand. He states politely, “Granny Fanny, mummy said that she will stay with me here tonight. I can have the dinner cooked by you again.”
