Let's Get Married

Rex carries Adair into the car. He doesn’t hear anything when he helps Adair to buckle up his seatbelt, so he reminds him patiently, “What should you say?”

Adair seems to be a little awkward, “Thanks, Uncle Rex.”

Rex raises his eyebrows, “You’re calling me uncle now?”

A man and a boy... The atmosphere between them is rather complicated. However, if you look closely, you will find many similarities between them, especially when they are stubborn.

They both stares at each other. In the end, Adair surrenders. He looks reluctant but in fact, he is just shy. He calls Rex shyly, “Thanks, dad.”

Rex feels satisfied. He smiles and strokes Adair hair, “Good boy.”

It is hard enough to get Adair to call him dad the first time. He doesn’t want to be an uncle to him anymore. Who knows when will be the next time that Adair calls him dad if he is so used to calling him Uncle Rex.

Rex closes the door. He then helps Lily to take the lunchbox when he sees Lily is holding it, “What’s this?”

“Dumplings.”

“For me?”

“Yes, from my mother.”

“What?” Rex pauses his steps when he hears what Lily said.

“My mother said you should try it,” Lily says softly. Thinking of what Bree did, both Rex and Lily feels warm, “Have you eaten?”

In fact, Rex and Orson have eaten something at the noodle shop near his office before coming here. He is not hungry at all now but hearing what she said, it doesn’t matter if he is full or not.

Looking at the lunchbox, Rex feels like he is showered in the wind of spring, even if it is night time now. His relationship with Bree and Harry never gets better from what happened five years ago. Both of them sees him as the enemy, a foe. No matter what he did to make it up to them, they never forgive him.
