Marina hangs up the phone and goes back to her room upstairs. She keeps on waiting, really looking
forward to Rex to come home. Why did she wait? Because she is determined that Rex will come back.
In the past, every time she does this, he will return to her nervously. Thus, it will be the same at this
time.
Without realizing how long it has been, she stays in the bed just with the same posture until the sound
of a car turning off in the yard is heard. Marina immediately puts on her slippers and rushes out of the
room.
When she walks quickly to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, the entrance of the villa is
opened by Fanny just in time. A black figure walks in. The long-awaited sight instantly cools down
when her vision touches the coming person.
How come it’s Maxx?
Marina furrows her brow in disappointment. The excitement that overflowed in her heart just now has
condensed at this moment, piercing at every corner of her heart.
“Why are you here?”
Maxx looks at the direction of the sound and walks to her rapidly. His vision scans around her body for
several times. After making sure that she is fine, he breathes a sigh of relief and explains, “Rex told me
to come here.”
Marina freezes for a moment and asks unsurely, “Re… Rex?”
Maxx nods, “Yes.”
Marina’s eyelids blink a few times. Her eyes slowly scan around the room, thinking of her ridiculous
expectation just now. As if mocking herself, she laughs for a moment. She does not expect that he will
trust her to others!
Marina bites her lower lip fiercely. There is a huge resentment around her. Regardless of Maxx’s
concern, she turns to walk into the house and slams the door hard.
With a bang, the door closes in front of his eyes. Maxx who is following her almost hits by the nose.
He takes a step back and raises his hand to knock on the door, “Marina, open the door.”
“Get out!” Marina snarls, followed by whatever it is that she throws over. It hits the door, which makes it
trembles.
All of her forbearance and her concealment are ignited at this moment. She hates, really hates Lily.
Also, Rex, for not paying attention to herself!
Maxx is hurt by her ‘get out’ curse. At first, he thinks that his care for her in these days will make her
accept him. Little did he expect that it is not enough. In her heart, he is still nothing.
Upon hearing the movement, Fanny is unavoidably worried. She then steps forward to ask Maxx, “Why
don’t we tell Rex first.”
“No.” Maxx knows that Marina definitely will not want Rex to see herself like this. Realizing that he has
been firm in refusing her request, he adds another polite sentence, “Rex is busy and can’t come back.
I’ll take care of things here.”
Fanny finally nods, “This is the only way.”
…
On the other side, when Rex has finished handling his affairs and goes upstairs, forty minutes have
passed. Joe stays to deal with the remaining matters after the feast. He then could not wait to return to
the suit. The petite woman that is lying on the sofa has not slept yet.
With a phone in her hand, Lily is playing a quite popular game of the year. She keeps on stuck on the
level of fifty. Seeing Rex coming in, she asks Rex to pass it.
Rex has no choice but obeys her. After taking off his coat and butterfly bow, he takes her phone. He
does not need plenty of time to pass it.
“Wow, you’re amazing.” Lily praises him from the bottom of her heart, “I’ve been playing for two days
and you passed it just in one try.”
Rex listens to her compliment, which is funny and makes him happy. Usually, when he talks about the
law’s knowledge, she never praises him even once. However, the game makes her so excited.
“Are you still dizzy?”
Lily shakes her head, “I’m good, feeling much better now.”
She goes to the toilet several times just now, obviously dealing with it.
“Why don’t you take a bath and get some sleep, huh?” He raises his hand to stroke her forehead. His
voice is low yet gentle, every word is like a love letter to her.
Lily looks at him in this way, her vision is scorching, it is a little hot, “Rex, I just thought about it, we’ve
known each other for more than six months.”
The man raises his eyebrows, “Only six months?”
Lily corrects him, “What do you mean by only?”
“I feel like I’ve known you for a long time.” He always has the illusion that he has spent a long time with
her. As if she has always existed in his life. However, after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed only
six months. He chuckles. “Maybe the progress of our relationship at the beginning is relatively quick,
that’s why I feel this way.”
“…” Lily beats him with her fist, “How can you still have the guts to say, you forced me.”
“If I didn’t force you, there might be no today.” Things like fate are too wonderful. It makes two introvert
people irresistible to one another from the first time they met.
“Next time, don’t flirt with me in the public!” Come to think about it, Lily is mad. When she is presented
the award today, his movement makes her could not hold up her embarrassment.
He responses obediently, but there is not much sincerity in his tone, “Okay, I promise you.”
Lily does not fuss over it again. She then points to her own dress and grins out a cunning smile, “Is it
pretty, after I change to it, a lot of people praise me today.”
“Yes.” Rex’s vision stops at her shoulders thoughtfully. That piece happens to have a fretwork design,
which barely shows her skin, “There might be another reason for them to look at you.”
Lily puzzles, “What?”
“This.” He touches lightly, “There is a hickey I left last night.”
“….”
WTF?!
Upon hearing this, Lily sobers up a little. She immediately rolls off the sofa and stumbles to the
bathroom. She then turns her back to the mirror and really sees a light red mark there.
No wonder everyone looks at her. It turns out… it is normal that nobody reminds her. The position, the
size… only a glance and they will know it is a hickey!
Lily’s whole body is detached to the wall behind her. The cold tiles are attached to her body, but she is
so hot, “It’s over. It’s too shameful, I even went on the stage to receive the award…”
Lily slides all the way to the ground and sheds without tears, regretfully wants to throttle herself to
death, “What should I do, everyone must think more…”
“As an adult, this is….” The normal word is not spoken yet.
Lily’s eyesight has shot over, “When did you see it?”
Rex answers seriously, “When I’m giving the award.”
“Then why don’t you tell me!”
“How can I say? In front of everyone?” Rex remains calm and composed while squatting down to look
at her, “You didn’t even look at me tonight, even if I wanted to hint you, it’s hard.”
“How can I know it’ll be like this….” Lily curls her knee up to block her face. She is really embarrassed.
That lingering embarrassment has almost irritated her to death.
Rex looks at her appearance that is soon going to lock her up and finds it cute, even his heart melts.
He then puts his hand through her armpits and hugs the person straight up.
Lily is not mentally prepared and exclaims, “Ah, what are you doing!”
“Nothing.” He walks a few steps and places her on the soft bed. His body is pressing against hers.
Their gaze fixes together. She could not run anywhere.
Lily’s ears are full of her own heartbeat sound, having no guts to swallow her saliva, “You, you…”
After ‘you’ for a long time, before another ‘you’ comes out. She sees him pulling out a square box from
his pocket. Lily has not had time to see it clearly, only hears him says in her ear, “Close your eyes.”
