Let's Get Married

Adonis is stunned momentarily before replying faintly, “Oh, it’s you, Belinda. What’s the matter? You’re calling me at a late hour.”

“Sorry for calling you about this, but I’m calling about Rex and Vivian’s relationship. It seems like something has happened today, Vivian has been down since a while ago, and she told me that she has gotten into a quarrel with Rex. But I couldn’t pry anything more from her, so I want to ask you to pass on the word to Rex so that everybody can sit down and have a talk. What do you think about this?” Belinda says carefully so that Adonis will not be offended.

In fact, since Rex has revealed that he has a child now with Lily, their parents have been intentionally distancing themselves from Vivian and her family. They had been ignorant back then, but now that they have learnt of this undisputable fact, they don’t want more people to get themselves involved unnecessarily.

Therefore, when he hears her bringing this up, he can’t help but knit his eyebrows, “Belinda, we don’t really have a say in our children’s affairs. You know very well of Rex’s temper, he’s so stubborn that nobody will be able to reach him with words. Even if we want to talk this through with them, but our efforts will be in vain if our children don’t want to cooperate.”

Belinda immediately understands that their family is not planning to intervene in their children’s affairs anymore, so she sounds a little upset since Rex has been unreasonable, “Mr. Adonis, Vivian has been together with Rex for almost three years, and she is obviously a decent person. But now that you’re planning to let our children decide for themselves without watching over them, I think you’re being a little irresponsible here.”

“We can’t force certain things and expect to have good outcome. I have made my decisions after understanding this fact.” Although Adonis is already in his twilight years, he is no fool. He uses her words against her, “It’s not that I don’t intend to bring them together, it’s just that they don’t seem to suit each other. My words won’t have any power since they are the ones who are going to live out their life in the future, so they have to choose what’s best for them. We’re not going to live their lives in their places anyway.”

Belinda knows fully well what he is trying to say, but she can’t back off know thinking of how dejected Vivian was, “Mr. Adonis, I still think we have to think through this carefully, since they have been together for a long time…”

“Belinda, I can’t really agree with you on that. Besides Vivian, Rex has contributed a lot in their relationship too. They are both excellent and independent children, and they would be the centres of attraction no matter where they are. We can’t make things worse for them and affect their future.”

He is not just merely declaring his stance, but he’s also warning her not to go too far.

Belinda can discern his unhappy tone, so even though she still has some objections, she doesn’t dare to go up against Adonis head on like this. She can only swallow her disappointment, “Alright, let me persuade Vivian to change her mind. Please help me to pass on some words to Rex too. They’re all adults now, they should face their problems head on and solve them instead of running away.”
