This is not only disrespect for mourners, but also for Mr. Adonis.
Rex does not say anything that day, but he sends a lawyer's letter to these media in the afternoon and
asks the best lawyer to file a complaint.
Lily isn't surprised at all. If he doesn't do anything, she will be worried.
He needs an outlet. These angry emotions should be expressed truthfully, and they should not be held
in his heart.
Seven days after the funeral. After dinner and playing with the child for a while, Lily coaxes her son to
sleep. She goes back to her bedroom but doesn't see Rex. She goes downstairs to look for him. In the
yard, she sees him squatting in the corner burning something.
She frowns and walks over and sees that the thing in his hand is a pile of paper money.
Today is the seventh day after Mr. Adonis’ death. As a grandson, he will not forget to burn paper money
for Mr. Adonis in the traditional manner.
Lily doesn't go over to disturb him. She knows that he wants to talk to Mr. Adonis’ spirit alone. After he
almost burns everything in his hand, she turns around and walks to the sofa. She bends down, picks up
a thin blanket, and walks towards him.
It is already autumn and the night air carries bone-chilling coldness. He is wearing a shirt, so he must
be cold.
A soft and thin blanket covers his shoulder. Rex turns around and sees the woman standing behind
him.
"Why do you come down?" After cleaning out the ashes, he stands up and raises his hand to hold her
hand. He touches her cold skin and frowns, saying, "It's so cold. Let's go in."
"I'm fine," Lily wraps the blanket around her body tightly and says, "But you're wearing such a thin shirt.
Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Moved by her concern, Rex holds her into his arms.
They hug each other tightly, and the blanket is large enough to wrap around their bodies.
Lily looks up at the pitch-black night sky. The weather is good today, and there are many stars. It
seems as if she could reach out her hand to get one.
She points at one of those and says, "People say that those who pass away will become stars. There
are so many stars in the sky, so Mr. Adonis won't be lonely, right?"
Compared to her romance thoughts, men's minds are much simpler and straightforward. "This is a lie
to a child," he says.
Lily's smiles silently and says, "Who says that? How do you know that it is a lie?"
"That sounds ridiculous."
"I don't care. I think this is true anyway," Lily says softly, "These people who have become stars will
always look at us and bless us."
The man behind her is silent for a moment, then he says, "I hope so."
Standing in the backyard and looking at the starry sky, Lily feels warm in this man's embrace. She
relaxes as never before. Suddenly, she thinks of a question and asks him, "When we get old, do you
think who will pass away first? You or me?"
Hearing this, Rex's face is already gloomy. "Nonsense."
"No, I'm serious," Lily says. In fact, she wants to enlighten him in this way. "If we have a choice, I hope
you can pass away first."
Although Rex knows that this topic is very illusory, he can't help but ask, "Why?"
"Because I don't want to see you sad because someone leaves, even if that person is me."
The woman's gentle voice floats past her ears with the night breeze. It touches Rex's heart deeply.
She does not hesitate to say this, which makes his eyes even get a little tearful.
"I will be sad, but I want you have a chance to see the world more than I do." With that, he hugs her
more tightly.
Lily almost cries because of what he says. "This is sad," she says.
"Don't worry; we still have several decades left."
She turns around to face the person in front of her and looks at his dark and bright pupils, saying, "This
world will be less beautiful without you."
Rex is stunned, and he looks at this fair face. The happiness on her face is so obvious that it can make
him feel the same way.
"This world will be less beautiful without you too."
What a strong and firm love!
They both know that this is more touching and beautiful than any other lines.
On such a sad day, he mourns the person who has left, but he falls into her gentle embrace. Nothing is
more important than her being by his side.
Rex lowers his head and kisses her lips.
Life is fickle. Fortunately, with her, everything won't seem too sad.
....
Mr. Adonis’ death not only makes the Gabbots feel sad, but also makes Karl, Pehry, and Orson feel
distressed. Especially for Pehry, as he is the youngest among them and is engaged in a special career,
he values Mr. Adonis’ kindness very much, and he even becomes extremely emotional.
After he hears that Mr. Adonis has passed away, he has a mental breakdown for several days.
He is too sad. Who can give him a sympathetic ear?
The first person comes to his mind is Jasmine.
Ever since they had established their timed dating relationship for a month that day, she starts to avoid
him. When he wants to meet her, she will refuse him with a variety of reasons. And she even joins two
clubs to avoid meeting him.
Pehry comes to meet her tonight. He waits at the school gate from 6 o'clock to 7:30. If it isn't for his
carrot and stick approach, the waiting will have lasted even longer.
Seeing the little girl get into the car, he is somehow angry. Just as he turns around and is about to scold
her, he sees a small pretty face with delicate makeup, and he can't bear to continue.
Jasmine is a person who rarely puts on makeup. But today, her eyes, eyebrows, cheek, and nose are
all with beautiful makeup.
Pehry immediately feels something wrong and narrows his eyes, asking, "What did you do? Why do
you come out now?"
Jasmine fastens her seat belt and says, "I went to the club. Didn't I tell you...."
"What club? Why does your face look like a big rooster with such makeup?"
