Pehry and Jasmine have been together for quite some time, so his friends know about it, but they don't
expect such a situation to happen now.
That's right. Even if they did not get along with Mr. Alfred, everyone knows what he is like. His
temperament is not good, and he is definitely not easy to please.
Moreover, Pehry is the only son of the family, and his father has already left the family for many years.
All the old man's expectations fall on Pehry, so he naturally won't allow Pehry to do whatever he likes.
However, it is indeed... unacceptable to wreck others' relationships.
After hanging up the phone, Rex is a little bit down. After all, as Pehry's good friend who has
accompanied him for so many years, he feels extremely sorry to know Phery's trouble.
When Lily finishes changing from the cloakroom, goes downstairs and is going to school with him, she
notices the man's upset expression. She is a little shocked. "What's wrong with you?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Rex separates himself from his emotions. Seeing Lily standing beside him,
he raises his hand and pulls her into his embrace, "Dear..."
Lily is even more confused. She reaches out and hugs him, "What's wrong with you..."
"Something difficult happened to Pehry."
What happened to Pehry?
Lily knits her eyebrows. "What's wrong? Isn't it serious? Do you need to go take a look? I can go to the
school myself."
Today is the open day of the school where Adair studies. The teacher invites the parents to participate
in the game together as a way to increase the interaction between parents and children.
Now Adair is waiting for his parents at school now. They originally planned to go there.
"I'm afraid I can't help him with this." When Rex says this, his voice is extremely dull. It isn't hard to tell
that he really wants to help Pehry.
Lily cannot help but feel even more puzzled. She really doesn't expect that there is a time when Rex
feels helpless.
"Is something terrible?"
"Yes, his grandfather won't allow him to be with that girl. Now, he threatens Pehry to go back and take
over the family business."
Lily opens her mouth and is very shocked, "You mean... Jasmine?"
"Yes."
"Gosh..." Lily immediately doesn't know what to say. She knows more or less about the situation of
Pehry's family. Unlike Rex and others, Pehry's family is from the underworld. A large portion of their
family business is related to the underworld.
Although Pehry runs the Red Club, he does not do too many illegal things. He still has integrity, but if
he really returns and takes over the family business, he will have no choice.
It is unbelievable that the man uses his grandson's lover as a bargaining chip to threaten him.
She really cannot understand.
However, it is really beyond Rex's help. As an outsider, they can only watch anxiously.
Lily doesn't know how to comfort him. Just imagine that if such a problem happens to her friend, she
will definitely feel very sad.
In the end, Rex lets out a sigh of relief, "I'm fine. Let's go to school first."
Lily nods and follows behind the man. Looking at his tall figure, she still feels that he is a little unhappy
for a moment. It is not easy for them to live a steady life. She really doesn't want to see him unhappy at
all.
Rex does not ask the driver to be with them. Instead, he drives by himself to join in the school's parent-
child activities.
Along the way, they don't communicate much. Lily doesn't take the initiative to talk to him. Considering
that he isn't in a good mood, she becomes quieter.
The car is parked at the school gate. As soon as they get off the car, a teacher comes to guide them.
They walk to the Adair's class. Lily wears a long pink dress today, and a short white mink fur coat. Rex
wears a light leisure suit. They immediately attract much attention as they appear.
Unlike other wealthy parents, they look fashionable, like a couple of classy models.
"Mom and Dad!" Seeing them, Adair immediately trots over and crashes into the man's leg.
He doesn't feel any pain either. He raises his head and smiles happily, grinning from ear to ear. "You
finally come. I've been waiting for you for a long time. My classmates' parents are all here. I thought
you were going to be busy working again..."
Hearing this, Lily doesn't know if she feels sorry about her son's worry or her dishonest image in his
son's heart. She helplessly touches his head and said, "Mom and Dad promised you to come, so we
will come definitely. How can we forget it?"
"I'm worried." Adair laughs as he pulls his parents to the front of his team. "Later, there will be a foot
binding game. Mom and Dad will be on both sides. I will be in the middle. The teacher will give the
prize and praise the winner!"
Rex looks at the bundle of thick ropes on the ground and asks, "Bind our legs with this?"
Adair keeps nodding, "Right. That's it. Dad, let me help you."
As he talks, his little body bends down. He picks up the thick rope. Without saying a word, he unties,
twists, and buckles the rope without a stop. He is good at it.
The family immediately is tied together. Adair is in the middle and keeps instructing the two adults,
"Mom and Dad, let's try it out. Listen to my slogan. When I shout one, move the left leg and when I
shout two, move the right leg."
Hearing this, Lily and Rex exchanges a glance. The stiff atmosphere finally eases a little, their eyes
filled with warm happiness.
When he first came back from abroad, he lived with Rex. This child is so obedient and sensible that he
never makes any trouble for adults.
The parents were once very worried about Adair's maturity that was incompatible with his age.
They would rather to see Adair cause troubles. Even he throws tantrums at his will.
But he never did. He is very obedient. He follows his parents' request and behaves in a mature
manner.
However, as Lily and Rex's relationship stabilizes, their lives gradually come to the normal. When they
live a stable life, Adair finally has a trace of childishness.
Although he is still very sensitive at times, he will not always think for the sake of his parents, worrying
the matters that he doesn't need to care about.
Just like now, he is like the other children, fully engaged in and very happy in the game. Lily and Rex
are very pleased.
Rex squats down like a friend and raises his right hand to give Adair a high five. "Good job, bro~"
He rarely jokes. Adair received good education abroad since he was young, so he is very comfortable
with the way Rex gets along with him. He smiles even more happily and says, "Come on. Just a piece
of cake!"
