Lily remembers that restaurant. She liked it when she was there, so she's deeply impressed. She
doesn't expect that Rex would put his heart into learning cooking. She is so touched that she says with
affection, "Rex, you're so nice!"
They are close. Lily looks down, but to catch sight of a small Band-Aid on his hand. Her heart tightens.
She immediately grabs his hand and examines, "How did you get it?"
Rex wants to retract his hand, but Lily doesn't loosen her grip. He just answers, "I cut it during the
cooking."
"Did it bleed? Seriously?"
"It's just a small cut."
Rex seems to care less about it. Lily is both moved and distressed. "Be careful. You even cut your
hand when you cooked."
"It doesn't matter." He thinks nothing of it. Rather, he says triumphantly, "I'll get used to it after a few
more times."
Lily wants to cry. She looks at the porridge in front of her. Mixed feelings fill her heart. At most, she
feels love for Rex.
He's wonderful!
Rex raises his hand to rub Lily's head and says, "Hurry up. There is fish. It might not taste good if it
gets cold."
Lily nods and silently picks up the spoon. In the end, there isn't even a grain of rice left in the bowl, as if
it has been cleaned.
After dinner, they rest at home for a while. Adair has lunch at the school today and will come back in
the afternoon. After answering a phone call, Rex asks Lily to go out with him.
In fact, Lily doesn't want to go out, because she is a bit 'exhausted' from last night. She asks Rex why
he wants to take her out, but he refuses to answer. Obviously, he is hiding something from her.
Therefore, Lily feels curious and follows him out.
Rex drives the car himself. Lily sits on the passenger seat. The car is going southward. Half an hour
later, the car stops at the door of the shop with a white sign, which writes No. 192, Hagen Street,
nothing more.
Lily looks out of the car window. "What's in this shop?"
Even though they are at the entrance, Rex doesn't give her a certain answer. "You'll know when you go
in."
Then, Lily follows him into the shop with confusion. The shop has two floors, each of which is about
300 square meters. It is big. The first floor is for reception, nothing special. At the sight of Rex, a
salesperson leads him to the second floor.
Lily follows them upstairs. They walk along the corridor on the second floor and finally stop in front of a
white carved European-fashioned door.
The salesperson knocks on the door and leads them in after getting permission. However, Lily freezes
once she steps in.
It is a room of about 100 square meters. It is covered with dark brown carpets. At the southwest corner,
there are two large open closets filled with white wedding gowns. Several spotlights are set on the
closets. In the bright light, the wedding gowns look stunning. Each of them is breathtaking, not to
mention that so many gowns are put together.
At the northeast corner stand a few dummies. Lily could see some paintings and a plenty of cloth on
several dummies. Rather, she sees a beautiful and eye-catching wedding gown.
When Lily sees these gowns, her brain goes blank. If Rex hasn't held her hand, she would have frozen
at the spot now.
Naturally, girls find romantic stuff irresistible, and Lily is no exception. Although she has given birth to
Adair and has said she doesn't care, she has been longing for a wedding.
"How beautiful!" Lily sighs sincerely. She couldn't look away from these gowns.
Rex catches sight of the expectation in Lily's eyes from aside and smiles. "Do you like them?"
"Yes," Lily replies without hesitation.
A tall woman, who looks a bit unapproachable, walks over. She smiles politely when seeing Lily's
excited face. "Nice to meet you, Miss Lily. I am Journey Swanson, the domestic designer in charge of
the customization of your wedding gowns."
The customization of wedding gowns?
Upon hearing it, Lily is even more confused. Still, she politely reaches out and shakes hands with
Journey. "Hello, I'm Lily."
"Mr. Rex, the final designs for the wedding gowns you chose last time have all been drawn up.
Although the details have not been thorough, the general tailoring has already been done. Take a look,
please." Journey brings Rex and Lily to the computer and presents the wedding gown designs that are
sent over today.
There are three designs, which are a tight fishtail one, a long strapless one, and a short shoulder-
wrapped one.
"Miss Lily, please take a look. Which one do you prefer?"
The general tailoring and details of each wedding gown are well expressed through the design
drawings. Lily feels excited when just seeing the drawings.
But it comes more as a surprise.
"When did you start doing all this?" she asks Rex who stands beside her with tearful eyes.
"A month ago," replies Rex after thinking for a while. Perhaps it is even earlier than that. He doesn't
remember, because he has dreamed about the wedding for so many times.
Lily looks at the three designs. She likes each of them. She looks over for a long time, but in the end,
she couldn't pick up one from them. She could only ask the designer beside her for help. "Miss
Journey, which one do you think would look better on me?"
Journey has been asked this question countless times. But when it comes to Lily, it's hard to say.
"You're in a perfect shape and have nice proportions, so either one is good on you. But if you ask me,
personally, I prefer the strapless one. Although the hem of the skirt is big and a bit exaggerated, as you
see, it will make you more dignified. There is a curve at the waist, so it can highlight your figure. You
will look very slender in it. Of course, if you want to look vivacious, you can go with the short one. That
fishtail is more like a Western style."
Lily listens carefully. Actually, she likes the strapless one and the fishtail one. As for the short one, she
doesn't dislike it, but she is afraid she might strike the elders as a fickle woman.
"I like both of them..."
Journey understands Lily very much and says considerately, "If you like the fishtail design, we could
make the toast dress for the night after the wedding into a fishtail one."
Lily's eyes light up. "Is that okay?"
"Sure."
Lily is satisfied. "Then I’ll go with the strapless one."
After receiving Lily's reply, Journey turns around to ask for Rex’s opinion. However, before she could
say anything, Rex speaks, "It's all up to her."
Journey feels admired when seeing their display of affection, but she must behave in a professional
manner. "Alright, then I'll write back today and ask them to prepare."
Rex looks at Journey and asks, "How long will it take?"
"Because it's completely handmade, and the chief designer has a tight schedule. It'll take about three
months." It seems the best result they can ask for.
"Just finish it as soon as possible. Money isn't a problem."
"Alright, we'll hurry up."
After deciding on the wedding gown, they are ready to leave. Before that, Lily looks at Journey a few
times. Her gaze is so obvious that Rex even feels puzzled about it.
When Lily is about to reach the door, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss Journey, I hope it will not offend
you. Do you have a boyfriend now?"
