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, “…”

Enough already, Rex.

Not sure if it is because he feels her insidious gaze, Rex doesn’t go too far. He just changes his position and lets Lily take the child’s hand. He then follows behind the two of them.

Starting from reaching the place at nine o’clock, the three of them use more than one hour to reach the halfway point of the mountain. There is a rest area; Lily buys some water and half a bag of oranges.

After taking a short break, the three of them continue to move towards the top of the mountain. Adair is too young after all. Even though Lily gives him a hand most of the time, he still can’t bear the fatigue.

“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.
