Let's Get Married

He goes to the second floor stealthily like a burglar in his own home. He goes first to the bedroom to have a look before turning around and enters Adair’s room.

He knocks on the door and is asked to enter. The child is sitting on the carpet and playing with his toy train.

“Adair has played for an entire day. Aren’t you tired? Shall you rest now?“” Once Rex steps into the room, he starts to coax Adair to sleep.

It’s already after nine and normally Adair would be asleep by now.

But the kid has his own opinion as he shakes his head, “I’m not tired, I slept with mom for a long time this afternoon.”

What he says is reasonable.

But Rex feels anxious. He intends to ‘do’ something with Lily afterward and if Adair doesn’t sleep, there is a risk of the mood being affected. This is unacceptable.

He walks twice around the room and quickly says, “You climbed the hill for so long and your body must be tired. You are overly excited and we came home late so you can’t feel it. I’m sure that you’ll fall asleep when you lay down.”

“But I don’t want to sleep at all. It’s so boring to lie down.”

Boring?

Rex ponders for another means. He is worried that Lily will soon come out of the bathroom.

Suddenly a thought flashes across his mind and he walks quickly out of the room. He goes to the third floor to take an electronic game console. It was left behind in his car by Pehry and Pehry hasn’t taken it back. At that time he said that Pehry was childish and didn’t expect it to come into use now.

Rex quickly goes down and back into the room. He gives the console to the kid, “Come, let uncle give you something to play, see if you like it!”

Adair takes it over and under Rex’s coaching, he is able to grasp the key of the game. It’s the game of snake, throw circles, and boxing. These three games are sufficient to keep him occupied for a while.
