Chapter 201 Pretending to be drunk

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Maxx thinks that she is going to cry, which makes him very nervous, “Is anyone troubling you?”

“I don’t know….” Marina deliberately makes it ambiguous, letting him guess, “I just feel very

uncomfortable. Sometimes I’m feels very embarrassed since nobody is with me.”

“What about Rex?”

“He is too busy at work and isn’t at home most of the time. He only comes back at night. When he’s

back, Lily will also back. So I… I’m like an outsider, it’s very awkward.”

Maxx is not feeling nice either. He had expected that the three of them will have a lot of inconveniences

to live with each other. However, at that time, she insisted on going. He could not say anything because

he is not qualified to speak.

Hearing what Marina said at this time, an idea pops in his mind, “Marina, if you feel uncomfortable,

move back to the North Villa. I will accompany you and you won’t feel lonely.”

This sentence has already surpassed their relationship. Marina feels disgusted with it. However, she

does not show it. She merely finds an excuse, “I’d just moved in, and if I go back now, I’m afraid it’s a

bit annoying. Let’s wait for some more time. Wait till I’m better. After the New Year, I will think about it

again.”

Maxx thinks her words make sense; after all, New Year is approaching. He has to go home too.

Leaving her alone at the Villa is not a good idea, how can she pass the days alone.

“Okay. If something happens, you can contact me anytime. I’m always here.” After that, Maxx seems to

have something to say, he pauses, the ‘I miss you so much’ phrase can hardly be spoken. In the end,

he gives up, “Bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Marina looks at the clouds outside the window thoughtfully. She could still

hear Maxx’s considerate voice. A human’s heart is made of flesh. Having Maxx’s admiration makes

Marina a little disgusted. However, it has to be said that he is the only man who treats her

wholeheartedly. It is impossible if she is not moved.

She clenches the phone in her palm and secretly prays that everything will happen as she wished.

When Rex returns home in the evening, it is almost ten o’clock. There are also tons of social

engagements before the New Year. Even though he has declined most of them, there are still many

feasts that he must appear.

When the car stops, he sees two red lanterns lit at the door as if welcoming him home. In the quiet and

cold night, it brings warmth to the bottom of his heart. The red couplets are plastered on both sides of

the door frame. The tranquil courtyard that is covered with snow is also decorated with some New Year

decoration.

Rex stands at the door and looks at it for a while. There is an imaginary scene of Lily preparing all of it

before his eyes. It must be agile and gentle. Scattered hair in her ear, or messy hair, is all the

tenderness she inadvertently gives.

Once Rex enters the house, Lily is lying on the sofa watching TV. It is rare for Marina not to come and

disturb her. While eating fruits, she watches a variety show, enjoying the leisure at this moment.

Seeing him walk in with coldness, she immediately steps forward, “You’re back.”

Rex puts his arms around her shoulders and brings her to the sofa to sit down. While glancing at the

fruit on the table and noticing half of it were eaten, he asks, “Why are you eating at this hour, aren’t

your stomach cool?”

“I’m good, the house is warm.”

When Rex sees her smiles with squinted eyes, he reaches out to hug her. She has taken a bath, which

makes her body fragrant. Even the alcohol in her body has diluted a bit, “The lanterns at the door are

beautiful.”

“You see it?”

“It’s really big; it’s hard not to see it.”

“What about the couplets?”

“Not bad.” He looked closely just now. It is better than the phrase like ‘may a river of gold flow into your

pockets’. When thinking of the horizontal couplets, he suddenly remembers something and asks her,

“Did you do it by yourself?”

Lily thinks that he is going to praise her, and nods with great pride, “Of course, I did it all by myself.”

Unexpectedly, his eyebrow twists, “How do you plaster it in that height?”

The door of the villa should be at least four meters tall, which is twice the height of others’ houses. It is

not easily accessible.

Lily points in the direction of the warehouse, “There is a ladder.”

“Don’t plaster the rest; it’s too high and unsafe.” He exhorts worriedly and adds another sentence, “If

you really like it, I’ll send someone.”

“Why are you so exaggerating? I used to do it at home with my mom. Don’t worry about it. I’m not a

child. I can still do these things.” Lily thinks that he is just making a fuss.

The man buries his face in her white yet slender neck. The fragrance on her body is the best solution

for relieving his fatigue, “Past is past. Now that you have me, how can it be the same?”

Lily’s heart is as sweet as honey; she could not help but lower her head to look at him, “Did you drink

too much?”

He usually does not talk such sweet words.

The man silently raises his mouth corners; he does not drink much at all. People like him to go to the

feast just for courtesy. After he attends it, it is fine. Who dares to force him to drink?

However, after hearing what she said, the cunning old man takes this advantage and nods, “Yes, I’m a

little dizzy.”

“Huh?” Lily sets his head straight, “Should I ask Fanny cook some sober soup?”

As she said, she is ready to wear her shoes and tells Fanny. Once the little soft woman in his arms slip

away, his heart empties suddenly. Rex reaches out and pulls her back, “No need, just help me go

upstairs.”

Lily cannot persuade him and puts his arms across her shoulders. She is struggling to hold his heavy

yet bulky body up. Most of his energy is put on her, not much nor little, just the intensity that she feels

strenuous without being overwhelmed.

Lily takes him upstairs. One hand is holding his narrow waist, while the other one holds his palm.

Halfway up and her unguarded feet almost fall.

Fortunately, he quickly reacts and holds her. Lily wonders whether the big palm is intentional or not, it

touches right on the edge of her chest, with quite a lot of strength….

Lily’s face is blushed with red. She slightly stands aside and looks at the man’s face that is normal. As

if he has just inadvertently touched it. If she speaks it out, it might seem that she is thinking

inappropriately.

After thinking for a while, she still forgets it and tries hard to support him to the bedroom.

After hardly putting him onto the bed, the man makes a request again, “Fill the bathtub for me.”

“Are you going to take a bath?” Lily shakes her head and persuades him, “Wash it tomorrow. You can’t

shower in this state.”

Rex has already had an idea in his mind. He insists on letting her fill the bathtub, giving a posture of not

sleeping without taking a bath.

Lily has no choice but obeys him. After entering the bathroom and filling the bathtub, she adjusts the

water temperature. She then squeezes the calming lavender essential oil and shower gel into it when it

is half-filled.

White bubbles float on the water. She bends down and reaches out to try the temperature of the water.

However, when she has not touched it yet, there is a click sound behind her.

Lily is startled and almost nosebleed instantly when she turns around… the healthy tan-colored skin

and the perfectly shaped strong muscles, especially the V-line abs on his waist. All of it makes people

think of the word “sensual”.
