Rex is going to say more, but Lily's attitude has made him stop. With the awkward silence, they look at
each other for a long time, but Rex first speaks.
"Lily, I know you're worried about me, but as a lawyer, this is our duty."
Lily is so anxious that she blurts out, "The other lawyers can do it too. Why do you have to do it by
yourself? If you don't go back to be a lawyer again, then would this case be on hold?"
Rex's ability is absolutely questioned by her words. He has become a lawyer again because of his own
will and also, it is because she encourages him to do so. But now, Lily says this. Rex can't help but feel
frustrated.
Lily regrets it the moment she speaks, but she has no other choice. She is really worried about him.
Seeing the man's cold face, she feels wronged and anxious, "You only know that you are a lawyer.
Have you ever thought that you are also my husband and the father of our child? You're not alone now.
Your decision may affect our family. I really don't want any accidents."
She is in a broken voice because Rex does not understand her.
Seeing Lily is teary-eyed, Rex is not angry. He stretches out his hand to hug Lily, but he is refused.
Tears are welling up in Lily's eyes but she tries to hold them and sound calm, "Think about it yourself."
With that, she stops arguing with him and walks out.
Rex looks at the door that is opened and closed. His gaze turns to the steaming milk on the table. He
clenches his fist. This is the first time they have such a big disagreement since they have made up.
Actually, before he tells Lily these things, he is also hesitating to accept this case, but now, the true
thoughts in his mind couldn't be hidden.
He wants to do it, because this case involves a lot of people, he should stand up for them.
Is there anyone else who may have the skills?
Perhaps there will be, but the person definitely won't be as good as him.
With his previous experience studying abroad, as well as some knowledge of the background of the
case and the background of the foreign countries, he is capable to take this case, but what makes him
hesitate is Lily and their baby.
No one knows the result of this case for sure, but this is sure to be difficult, and he has to be more
careful.
Even Orson holds a neutral attitude. If Rex is not appointed by the officers, Orson wouldn't have
handed it over to him.
This night, Lily and Rex do not sleep well. When Rex returns to the bedroom at late night, he finds Lily
is not in the room. She must have gone to the guest room.
He doesn't go to find her, knowing that she needs to be alone at this time. If he doesn't give in and
forces her too hard, he will make her feel conflicted.
When Lily gets up the next morning, Rex is not in the villa. Lily takes Adair downstairs to have
breakfast and drives him to school.
Along the way, something is weighing on her mind. Even Adair sees it and asks her, "Mom, what's
wrong with you?"
Lily turns to look at her son's young and handsome face and says with a complicated expression,
"Adair, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
Adair is only a child, and his attention is easy to be distracted, "I want to be an architect!"
"Why?"
"Because it's interesting, I like to build blocks, like the Lego. Looking at those beautiful buildings, I
would feel very amazed. If I could have a building like this one day, it will be great," when Adair speaks
of this, he is quite excited with the sense of sincerity.
Lily also feels it is great. It is very rare that a child can his own ideas, "Adair, you need to work hard. To
be an architect is not easy. "
"I will!" Adair says it firmly, and then he suddenly thinks of something, "Oh, right, Mom, I have another
dream!"
"What is it?"
"I also want to be a lawyer!"
Hearing this, Lily is a little surprised, "Why?"
"I want to be like mom and dad, to be able to help others!" Adair speaks with pride, "At school, my
classmates asked me my parents' job. I told them you are lawyers. They are so jealous! I also want to
be like you!"
The little child does not know how stressful and boring it is. He just sees the adults working hard and
being respected and acknowledged by others, so he has the same thought.
After hearing this, Lily has mixed feelings. If she didn't argue with Rex last night, perhaps she would be
very touched and happy for her son now. However, with what happened last night, she gets a lot going
on.
It is with happiness, relief and also with worry.
The car is stopped at the school gate. Adair gets out of the car and walks to the school. Lily drives to
the florist. On the way, she thinks a lot.
Back then, in order to take care of her son and her family, she chooses to open a florist. She does not
have the desire to be a lawyer again to make some achievements. However, hearing her son's words,
she couldn't help but suspect what she thought last night.
Does she really not have the moral integrity to be a lawyer?
This makes Lily feel puzzled. She believes she has it. Although she is focusing more on her family now,
she has once worked as a lawyer at home for one year and abroad for five years, which makes her
know herself well.
She is not a person who would give up easily and she has principles in the law.
She has always been proud of herself, but when it is related to Rex, she makes such a choice. She
does not feel that she is wrong. Is it wrong for her to love her family? However, such a choice may
make her to feel puzzled. Should she support Rex?
During this day, Lily's mind is somewhat unhinged. Business is good in the shop, and Gladys is capable
to treat it now. Lily has assigned her to be the manager to be in charge of some work, and she out
much effort to coordinate and communicate with the partners and franchisees.
She has never made any mistakes in her work, but today, she even makes a mistake on the purchase
order.
Gladys thinks Lily feels ill, so she prepares the jujube and ginger tea for her and she walks to the
workroom, "Lily, you don't look good. Why don't you go back and rest today?"
Lily heaves a sigh of relief, "It's fine. I'm OK."
Lily is depressed the whole day. She thinks about the things about the shop and Rex, and she feels
quite tired.
It's time to get off work. She is not in a hurry to go home. She sends a message to Rex to tell him that
she is working overtime, and then she calls Abby out for some drink.
They meet in a club with membership schemes. The environment here is quite good, without any ugly
people around.
They haven't seen each other for a long time. Abby has lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, she has a high
color and looks well.
"What's wrong with you? You look unhappy." Abby sits down, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is Rex
upsetting you?"
