Let's Get Married Chapter 369: Lily Is Back

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

When Rex drives back to the old house, he hears an extremely piercing voice from inside as soon as

he walks to the door. “Aunty, I put this on the table in the living room, and it looks pretty.”

“You don’t have to be so polite, there’s no need to buy stuff when you come over.” Then there comes

Amelia’s voice.

Rex almost doesn’t stop. He turns around and walks to the side of the car again, but hears the woman

behind him yelling sweetly. “Rex, did you just arrive?”

It’s okay if she doesn’t shout. Now, everyone in the house can hear it, even his grandparents.

Rex knows that she is thinking of her next move. She tilts her head and sneers but stops. After a while,

a figure with a strong scent of fragrance walks up to him.

Rex remains emotionless, and he stares at the woman in front of him.

Vivian knows that Rex doesn’t like her to the point that he doesn’t want to look at her. She understands

this feeling well deep in her heart, but she pretends to be confused. “Grandma said to make dumplings

today. She was afraid that she couldn’t finish it all so she called me for help. Don’t get me wrong.”

“You come to my house and tell me not to misunderstand?” Rex questions sarcastically without sparing

her a glance. His sharp gaze skips the woman’s off-shoulder clothes, even more disdainful, “Miss

Vivian really likes blocking others’ way, huh?”

Vivian knows that he speaks badly of her, and will never hesitate to shut her down. However, every

time he says this, he seems to be referring to her as worthless trash. She feels angry, “If you don’t like

me, you can leave me alone…”

Originally, she wanted to take the higher ground. Without letting her finish her sentence, the man has

already passed by her to go into the house without looking at her.

She feels more irritated than being slapped directly. Her chest heaves, but she has to endure the

anger. She turns around abruptly and watches Rex’s back disappearing at the door, all the while gritting

her teeth secretly.

It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t like her, but his family adores her!

Thinking about this, Vivian adjusts her expression again and enters the house.

Amelia is fiddling with the flowers that Vivian brought in the living room. They are some fine lilies and

hydrangeas. Upon seeing Rex, she gets up quickly, “Rex, you’re back.”

Alongside her is a man sitting on the sofa, Amelia’s current husband, Eduard.

“Mom, uncle.” Rex nods and calls out. Although Amelia and Eduard have been together for quite some

time now, Rex has never changed the way he addresses him.

Many things are qualitative from the beginning. He doesn’t want to force himself to get close to anyone,

especially the kind of superficial closeness, which is unnecessary.

Eduard stands up from the sofa; they only meet each other once a year. At this time, the oppressive

feeling from Rex’s imposing aura makes him feel a little at a loss.

He knows that Amelia has a son who is of high position and is very powerful. Rex used to be a lawyer,

and he has achieved the first position in the country and the industry. Now he has switched to the

investment sector. He is also very impressive in this field.

He can tell at one glance that Rex is really extraordinary.

Rex doesn’t care about what Eduard thinks of him, and asks Amelia, “Where’s grandmother and

grandfather?”

“Your grandmother is in the kitchen, and grandfather is reading in the study upstairs.” Right after this

sentence, Vivian enters from the hallway, seeming to know that Rex would not want to see her. Amelia

is also not as welcoming as before, and gives Vivian a polite smile.

Rex turns around and goes upstairs to the second floor to greet his grandfather, and to invite him to go

downstairs to have dumplings together.

Since the heart attack last time, his grandfather has some complaints about Rex. He blamed him for

being unfilial and disobedient, not listening to his advice and causing his heart attack, while Rex was

unwilling to give in to matters regarding Lily.

But now that Lily is back, Rex doesn’t run away anymore. The past is the past, and he has something

to say later.

After a while, Florence arrives at the house right before the start of the dinner. No more the childish kid,

she is now a mature adult. “Sorry, I was late due to the traffic.”

“If there is traffic jam, you should have left earlier. Your brother has been here for a long time. Are you

busier than him?” Amelia scolds.

Rex just glances at her, “It’s normal for girls to be playful, and this is not a meeting. If you’re late, then

you’re late. It’s fine.”

As soon as Florence hears this, she smiles, “Thanks brother!”

“Okay, everyone is here for dinner.” Rex’s grandfather sits on the main seat and greets everyone. He

raises his eyes and looks at Vivian, who is standing on the side, looking embarrassed. He waves his

hand, “Vivian, come sit down next to Rex.”

Vivian deliberately hesitates. Of course, she is willing to walk over, but she does so slowly, with a

worried expression. “Rex, you don’t mind, do you?”

She just shouted his name outside the house, but now she calls out with an affectionate tone. Rex

pursues his lips, with an unclear expression, but he doesn’t refuse. “Grandfather told you to sit here, so

just sit.”

Rex is not embarrassing her, so everyone was relieved, especially Rex’s grandmother. She is very fond

of Vivian. She has always referred to her as her granddaughter-in-law. What she wanted the most was

to see Vivian and Rex in harmony.

The steaming dumplings are served, and there are several home-cooked dishes. Rex has indeed not

eaten at home for a long time. Every time he was either socializing or just taking a quick bite. This time

he is actually enjoying his meal.

Sure enough, after talking about other issues, his grandfather begins to worry about his marriage

matters again.

“I hear that you are very busy recently.” He implies Rex’s reluctance to meet with Vivian.

“Yes, I went to the United Kingdom and stayed there for a while.” Rex doesn’t hide it, but rather admits

it openly.

“The United Kingdom?” His grandfather frowns, “Do you still have business over there?”

Obviously, he doesn’t believe it. The atmosphere at the dining table becomes a bit tense because of

the conversation between the two.

“Even if I tell you, you still won’t understand. Why are you still asking?”

“Okay, okay!” Grandfather repeats the word, the conversation goes intense. “I don’t understand work

matters. However, about marriage matters, when are you going to settle down?”

In the past, when this topic was brought up, the both of them were unhappy. The best result was that

they did not speak to each other for several days after the conversation. Unexpectedly, this time, when

Rex hears this question, he even replies with confidence, “If it goes well, maybe soon.”

The second Rex utters this sentence, everyone present is stunned.

Especially his grandfather, “What did you just say?”

“I want to settle down, but I don’t know if my beloved woman is willing to do the same.” He plops a

dumpling into his mouth after speaking lightly.

Vivian was happy when she got here, and still wondered if he had changed his mind and remembered

her. Maybe he wanted to have a life with her when he got older. But after his sentence, this thought in

her heart is all crushed.

The object of his admiration is not her. How would he be uninsured if she is the woman he mentioned?

Everyone can see that Vivian likes Rex from the way that she treats him.

“Since you have decided to settle down, what are the backgrounds of that woman? Can you discuss

this with us?”

“It’s not like you don’t know her,” Rex lowers his chopsticks in his hand, and takes a piece of tissue to

wipe the corner of his mouth. He calmly speaks of this shocking message, “Lily is back.”
