The banquet progresses smoothly, but Rex’s is not in a mood to enjoy it. He joined the party yet didn’t
put much attention on it; however, he bumped into Lily at the party.
Although he pretended to be noble and arrogant in front of her, only he himself could clearly feel the
nervousness and expectation in his heart. From the moment he met her again, he could no longer
control himself.
He desperately wanted to hold her in his arms, and to tell her everything about him in the past five
years. His affection for her, which had been accumulated for five years, seemed to have finally found
an exit and gushed forth uncontrollably.
But he didn’t. His desire was extinguished by her gaze – she looked at him as if he was a stranger. It
was also stopped by the fear which can be sensed from her trembling body and frightened gaze. After
all, they had been separated for five years, which was so long and painful. He felt heartbroken, so did
her.
He could just motion his men to take her away, fearing that she would slink away. What’s more, he was
afraid that he would fail to control himself.
Freddie has been accompanying Rex gingerly. He tries to find a chance to explain it; however, fact is
fact. Lily said those out so bluntly that he could find no way to cover it.
He hasn’t found a chance until the party goes to an end. Rex strides towards the second floor, Freddie,
gritting his teeth, decides to follow him, “Mr. Rex, I want to talk with you about the workplace injury
case.
“No need.” Rex doesn’t give him a glance, “I will listen to her personally.”
As he finishes the words, he disappears at the corner of the stairs.
Freddie stuns. He is not a fool, so naturally, he can sense that Rex and Lydia has some relationship;
otherwise, according to his knowledge of Rex’s personality, he won’t come to meet her hastily after the
party.
Seeing that Freddie is froze, Kingsley rushes over, “Mr. Freddie, how’s it going?”
“How’s it going?” Freddie spits the words with a bad attitude, “If our dear investor, our ‘God of Wealth’
is unhappy, they we are doomed!”
…
Under the guidance of his assistant, Rex walks to the door of a separately partitioned room on the
second floor. From a distance, he sees two men in black standing outside the door.
Seeing him coming, the two men greet him respectfully, “Mr. Rex.”
Rex waves his hand to signal them to be silent. Looking at the shiny doorknob, he feels his heartbeat
accelerates, which makes him a bit dizzy.
He just needs to push open the door, and then he can see the woman whom he has been missing.
He fails to calm himself when thinking of this.
Over the past years, he has encountered countless frustrations and big events, but he feels the most
nervousness at this moment. He can’t help to laugh at himself. It seems that he can never remain his
composure in the face of matters related to Lily.
All his calmness, composure and rigorousness seem malfunction in the face of Lily. He acts like an
impulsive and unreasonable novice in front of her.
Rex takes a deep breath and puts some strength on his hand. With a clicking sound, he turns the
doorknob but fails to open the door.
He frowns, knowing that she must have locked the door from inside.
His assistant immediately hands him the door key he prepared in advance, “Mr. Rex, here’s the key for
the door.”
Rex raises his hand to take it the key and looks less gloomy. The assistant, who is standing beside,
feels quite nervous. “Thank god, I have made preparations before Mr. Rex comes; otherwise, the scene
would be so embarrassing.” The assistant thinks to himself.
He can’t even imagine the scene of his boss being locked out by a woman.
Rex puts the key in the lock and opens the door without any obstacles.
He walks into the room alone and closes the door to make a room, which is isolated from the outside
world, for them two only.
He turns to glance around the room – this huge room is so quiet. She’s not on the sofa, nor in the living
room. His heart misses one beat when he fails to catch sight of Lily whom he has been missing.
He has had countless dreams and hallucinations over the past five years, and he’s really afraid that this
time, it is another hallucination.
But there is a separated bedroom in the house. Rex strides over and pushes open the door without
hesitation. The room is brightly lit, and he can see a bulge of a slender figure under the white sheet.
Rex heaves a sigh of relief and walks over slowly.
The light from the ceiling is very bright. It seems that she has been annoyed by the dazzling light, so
she buries herself under the bed sheet, unveiling only her forehead, eyes and nose. Her beautiful
almond eyes are closed and her long, curly eyelashes land on her fair skin. It seems that she’s not
sleeping well and there’s a slight tremor through her body.
Rex fixates his gaze on her face and feels unable to look away. He has dreamed of her countless
times. He bends over and sits beside the bed, and then reaches out to touch her tender cheek in a
tentative and careful manner.
Her existence is so real! He can see her and touch her. The girl whom he has been missing for five
years finally comes back.
No matter how self-restrained Rex is, he fails to control his excitement of finding his beloved woman
again at this moment.
He seems to be bewitched and all he can see and think of is only Lily. The inexplicable emotions fill his
heart, leaving no room for him.
As if being guided by a mysterious force, Rex subconsciously lowers his head and approaches Lily’s
fair plump forehead. When his thin lips are just two centimeters away from her forehand, the phone in
the pocket of his pants suddenly vibrates.
“Omm…Omm…”
Although it is just the humming of the phone, it is loud enough to wake someone up in such a quiet
room. Lily seems to hear it vaguely and her beautiful eyebrows wrinkle into a knot. She then turns over
to the other side.
Rex slowly walks to the balcony outside holding the phone in hand. Fearing that she would get cold, he
thoughtfully closes the sliding glass door.
It’s from Karl.
He connects the phone. However, before he can speak the person on the other end of the phone cuts
in hastily, “I just finished an operation and then I saw your message. What did you mean by saying that
you found Lily?”
Rex’s line of sight falls on a corner of the banquet not far away – the party is coming to the end and the
waiters are doing the clean.
“Yeah, I found her.” Karl can easily sense the excitement in his voice.
Karl gasps and stuns for a while, then he subconsciously thinks of some others, “Did you really find her,
or…”
“Really.” Rex interrupts him and hastily shares his excitement to Karl, like a boy who just got a full
mark, “Karl, it’s neither an illusion nor a dream. It was her. I talked to her and touched her face. I really
found her.”
Karl tightly grips the phone and abruptly closes his eyes. He makes several deep inhales and exhales,
“Lily…How’s she going?”
“She’s so good. She’s better than five years ago. She established her own law firm and made a
success. She became more gorgeous and charming as if that accident didn’t have any impact on her.”
Rex suddenly recalls the reason why she sneaked into the party today, and her lips curl into a smile,
“But she’s as stubborn and hardworking as she was before.”
