Let's Get Married

Ryan doesn't take the opportunity to get close to Lily. After returning to City J, he hasn't contacted anyone other than Rex. Moreover, he even hides his whereabouts from Lily. He only asks his subordinates to keep an eye on her and notify him if anything happens to her.

During the day, he works remotely from his apartment. At night, he'd like to find a place to drink alone. For him, City J is not a place with many good memories, but just a place where Lily lives.

Without Rex by her side, Lily spends all her time on Adair. But the boy has gone to school and spends most of the day there. In her spare time, Lily's mind always wanders. A month passes and she begins to feel anxious.

She often wakes up in the middle of the night from nightmares and lies awake in bed, because of the man who has left her.

"Mom, what's wrong?" One morning at breakfast, Adair notices something is wrong when he looks at her gloomy face.

Lily is holding a piece of bread in her hand. She's not focused on eating. When she hears the boy calling, she collects herself and forces a smile. "Mom is thinking."

Adair opens his mouth and takes a bite of the bread. After swallowing it, he turns his big eyes and looks at Lily. He asks cautiously, "Mom, when will dad come back?"

Half a month has passed since Rex left. They haven't be separated for so long ever since Rex reclaimed his son.

Lily's heart skips a beat when she hears his question. She's afraid the boy may see it through. Her face is very tense. "Dad hasn't finished his business yet. He'll come back when it's done."

"And when is that?" The boy's big eyes blink expectantly. Lily can't bear to look at them.

"As soon as possible." Lily doesn't dare to give him a definite time so as not to disappoint him when the time comes. "Do you miss dad?"

Adair nods without hesitation. "Yes...."

He misses his dad every evening when he plays Lego after finishing the homework. Dad used to play it with him.
