Let's Get Married

Lily is shocked and her face turns a bit pale, “It's fine, the steps are too slippery.”

“Mummy, are you okay?” Adair also asks her with his huge eyes filled with concern.

Lily smiles, “It's fine, watch your steps, Adair. The dark-coloured steps are more slippery.”

Rex squats down without saying anything. He holds and squeezes her ankle. After making sure she is alright, he feels at ease and turns to educate his son, “That's why uncle asks you to exercise more, just so you won't be as clumsy as your mother.”

Adair nods his head as if it is true, “I know, so I can protect mummy!”

Lily, “…”

“Mummy, I can’t walk anymore.” Adair stands on the platform, looking tired.

Before Lily can say anything, Rex dashes to his front as if he has been waiting for this moment. He squats down with one of his knees on the ground. He then pats himself on the back, saying “Come up, daddy carry you.”

Joy flashes in Adair’s eyes, however the next second he hesitates and restrains himself. He stands awkwardly in place, not knowing what to do.
