A night of incessant worrying has pushed Lily to the edge of breaking down. She doesn’t care about
her image right now; all she wants is to see her child, and to throw a hard slap on his face!
Her voice is really loud, Rex is afraid that the child will overhear them, so he stands up and walks to the
side of the full length window before continuing, “The child is at my place.”
“Where are you now?”
“At home.”
Lily immediately swings open the car door, enters the car and starts the engine, “I’ll go see you now.”
“You don’t have to do that, the child is fine here.” His tone is calm, as though he is ignoring her worries
and break-downs.
Lily can no longer hold back, “Rex, what the hell do you want!”
“I just want to spend time with my child.” He finishes his words and then returns her a sarcastic
question, “Otherwise what else could I want?”
His voice that has drifted into her ears has become a form of torture for her. Lily holds her breath and
tries her best to calm down and says, “The child has been by my side since he was born and never left
me before. He will be really uncomfortable around you, and he won’t tell you even if he’s feeling awful.
If you really care about the child, let me go take him, alright?”
Her voice is tinged with desperation; Rex who is listening quietly slightly tightens his grip on the phone.
He understands her desperation to see her child, but…
“You have been talking about taking the child away from me, and now you’re asking me to reason with
you?” He purposely says this in an ominous tone, although he has never felt that way, “You should try
to understand how I feel sometimes.”
After saying this, he is going to hang up the phone.
When she can’t get any reply, Lily’s patience and nervousness are stretched to the extreme. She
exclaims, “I’m wrong!”
The man’s movements freeze briefly, before sending the phone back by his ear. He doubts what he has
heard, “What did you say?”
“I’m wrong, I shouldn’t vent my anger at you, or provoke you. Please let me see Adair, even if you don’t
allow me to take him away, just let me see him one time, please?” She is too worried to the point of
going crazy. Her relationship with Rex is going nowhere, and now her child is being taken away, as a
mother this is like strangling her by her throat.
Just when Rex is going to be soft-hearted, she suddenly speaks up, “I won’t interfere with your private
life, but please don’t let the child get into the mix too, I don’t care what your relationship with Vivian is,
but please don’t force things on the child, I am begging you.”
Among all her fears, she fears most if Rex is going to bring Adair to see another woman.
Till then, what will be on the child’s mind? Lily can’t start to imagine.
But these words have caused Rex to be cold-blooded again, as his voice returns to its original harsh
tone, “Humph, you are really considerate.”
“Rex…”
“When the time is right, I’ll let you guys meet.” The man’s tone is absolute; there is no room for
discussion about his words.
This time, he doesn’t give her a chance to say anything; he immediately hangs up the phone.
Looking at the swaying branches outside, Rex is in a bad mood, it is all because of her causal words.
She is not going to interfere with his private life, is she going to not have anything to do with him
anymore?
She looked so caring and concerned that night, but when she saw Vivian, everything has changed. She
is even able to blurt out such indifferent words.
He is impressed.
If he could have half of her ability to get over things, these past five years he wouldn’t live his life that
way.
It’s fine, she can do whatever she wants, after all child is in his possession now. At least she won’t be
able to cause any commotion in these two days. As for Ryan, he is not even concerned about him.
This is between the two of them; it has nothing to do with outsiders.
Rex relaxes his mood before returning to the living room. The kid is seated on the sofa as he tilts his
head towards Rex, “What did my mum said?”
“She asked me to take good care of you.”
“You’re lying.” Adair stares into his eyes, his expression arrogant “I can sense that mum doesn’t even
know that I’m being taken away by you, am I right?”
He has to admit that this four-year-old child is still very vigilant.
Rex already knows that he’s a smart kid, but he never expects him to be that smart. The kid is now
even talking to him in an interrogating tone, this is insane.
Rex squats down to his level and says honestly, “It’s true that I did not inform your mother when I took
you away, but she indeed knows about this.”
Although he has said this…
“You can’t treat my mother like that.” Within the kid’s eyes, there are tenderness and care towards Lily,
“She will be worried about me, I don’t want to make her worry.”
Rex is very moved at his words. He is well brought up by her, and it is all her credit. Her education and
upbringing is flawless, he can’t find any fault in it.
“I have told her that she can come see you after two days.”
Adair twitches his mouth and says, “But I want to go home now.”
“Why?” Rex’s brows are knitted now, there is frustration and sadness in his voice to his surprise, “You
don’t want to stay with me?”
This is the first time that he’s spending time alone with his child, but he’s already being disliked so
much, which makes him feel sad.
Especially that he has already displayed the side of him which is the most patient and gentle, but this is
still a big hit on him. His mood worsens because of it.
Because his sadness is painted across his face now, Adair suddenly feels sorry for saying such words.
Actually, this uncle… no, father is not that bad, besides being absent of these past years, he is actually
treating him very well.
Just as the kid is contemplating what kind of answer he should give Rex, his stomach suddenly makes
a noise.
It is not so obvious, but it is still audible.
Rex immediately grabs this chance and asks him, “Are you hungry? Do you want me to bring you to eat
something?”
He raises his wrist to look at his watch, it is already some minutes past seven, it’s time for breakfast.
He has been angry with Lily for a while until he almost forgets about the child’s meals.
The child averts his gaze, and stops the previous topic. He ‘reluctantly’ nods and says, “Alright, let’s go
eat something.”
Rex happily agrees to him. He immediately goes upstairs to get a change of clothes, then he pulls open
the cupboard near the door, his gaze falls upon a row of keys to expensive cars. He has intended to
drive the SUV, but in the end he takes the car key to the Maybach.
He’s with his child; therefore he must appear cool in front of him.
He heads towards the underground garage with the little kid, and then he presses on the key. The car
lamp immediately lights up, the doors flings open like a pair of wings. Rex steals a look at the little kid
with the corner of his eyes.
When he sees the awestruck look in his eyes, he knows he has succeeded in his plans. He swiftly
brings him into his seats before entering the driver’s seat. “Do you like it?”
A four-year-old child is definitely unfamiliar with these things; this is cool enough for him. He replies,
“It’s not bad.”
“If you want, I can fetch you in this every day.” This is what he really wants to say to him.
Adair focuses his gaze in front while trying to conceal his excitement. He says with difficulty, “Let’s
go.”
