Let's Get Married

After having dinner and while Adair is watching cartoon, Lily walks into the kitchen without turning the light on and calls Rex, asking him to come over now.

She ends the call after a short conversation with Rex. Lily then turns around, wanting to walk out of the kitchen. However, what she sees is Bree who stands behind her yet she has no idea about when she has come.

Lily gets startled. She puts her hand on her chest and complains, “Mom, you scared me!”

Initially, Bree walked into the kitchen to get some water for herself. Who knows that she would see Lily making a call in the kitchen? She is the mother of her daughter. Bree immediately knows what happened after seeing the fluster on Lily’s face. “Were you calling Rex?”

“Why did you sneak up on me in the dark?” Lily doesn’t answer Bree’s questions and tries to change the subject.

Bree then pulls Lily into the bedroom beside the kitchen. There’s only two of them in the room. When the conversation starts, Bree as the mother of Lily, just can’t stop concerning on what’s going on in Lily’s life now. “What’s going on with you two now?”

Before Lily could fob Bree off, Bree continues, “You better be honest. Don’t lie to me and your dad.”

“…” What Lily plans to say gets stuck in her throat. There’s no other way but to come clean. “His attitude has changed these days and we have come to an agreement on Adair’s matter. Now Adair likes and approves his father very much. This is not what I expected initially.”

“What about you?” Bree looks at her in a concerning look, “What do you think of that?”

“I really have no idea…”

“Gosh, look at you,” Bree feels worried about her answer, “How can you not know what you want? What’s Rex thinking? Does he want you back?”

Lily is embarrassed, “He wants me back.”
