Let's Get Married

Half an hour later, the car enters the courtyard of the old mansion. Lily is obviously shaken as she is struggling to unbuckle her seatbelt. Rex looks in her direction and holds her tiny hand, “Don’t worry, nothing bad would happen. Trust me.”

If his grandparents are still the same as they were last time, he wouldn’t have bring Adair to see them, let alone Lily. He won’t let her be wronged anymore.

“In the end, you can’t avoid seeing your in-laws when you’re married. You better take this opportunity to ramp up your courage.” He teases her purposely.

Lily pushes him in response, “Stop your nonsense.”

They get out of the car and Rex immediately circles to the boot to unload tea leaves and silk scarf which are their gifts for his parents. The butler initially wants to help him, but he refuses the help, “I’ll do it myself.”

He hands a light gift box to Lily and they walk into the mansion together.

After exiting the police station, it is just about time to have lunch. His grandparents have prepared a full table of dishes when they learnt that Rex is coming back. There are a variety of food on the table, including some typical dishes and vegetarian dishes. They are his favourite food.

When Lily steps into the living room, she lays eyes upon the two elders seated on the sofa and a strange sensation slowly permeates through her body. This time, she is coming here with a different kind of mind set. She nervously clutches the gift box while standing straight beside Rex, waiting for his next move.

“You’re finally here.” His grandfather greets them as they enter his field of vision. He freezes briefly when he sees that they are carrying gifts. He can’t help but complain about it, “Why are you bringing things when you’re just coming back home?”

Deep in his heart, he can see that this must be Lily’s idea, since Rex has never done something like this before. He is a practical person, so he will just order someone to send things over every time. He rarely reveals his true feelings in front of them.

As expected, Rex puts down the gifts on the table while explaining, “These tea leaves and silk scarf are bought by Lily according to your preference.”

His grandfather shifts his gaze on Lily and replies, “You shouldn’t have brought anything at all. We still have a lot of these at home.”
