Let's Get Married

They say women are the most paradoxical creature in the world. She did not think so before, but now she experiences it first-hand; she has never imagined herself becoming like this one day.

But Lily still finds it unbelievable at the thought of Rex’s promise to take her to see her child. Even though she knows clearly that this man keeps his words, such a sudden big change from him is still shocking.

She wishes to get well soon. It would be better if she can be discharged tomorrow so that she could see Adair tomorrow night. The thought of her child immediately softens her heart.

As her mind wanders, a person walks up by the bed. Without looking up, she feels a sense of familiar pressure. Surprisingly to her, it is Rex.

He has gone and returned. Although he is not looking too good, he is holding two bowls of porridge.

The man sees the doubt in her. He is embarrassed for having to lower his pride and handing it to her. He says unkindly, “Your porridge.”

Lily blinks and looks at the porridge and him, “Did you go get the porridge just now?”

“I was going to go, but the delivery guy called.” Stubbornly, he refuses to admit. He still has to save some face at this age, hence he embarrassingly returned after the bold departure.

Lily sees his mildly flushed ears and knows that he said it so purposely. She goes with it, acts like him, and says profoundly, “Oh, that’s really fortunate.”

The irony in her words is too strong that Rex can’t neglect it.

His face toughens and a harsh glare is upon her, “Don’t you know how to shut your mouth?”

Knowing nothing good will follow if she talks back, Lily ignores him and focuses on the porridge. She had no appetite at first, but the vegetable porridge in her palm now makes her hungry suddenly.

She lifts the heat-retaining cover and smells a flavorful scent. She starts salivating, but before she digs in, he hands in another bowl, “Which one do you prefer?”

One is lotus seed porridge, the other is vegetable porridge. For both flavor and presentation, Lily prefers vegetable porridge, “I’ll have this one.”
