Chapter 214: Fatal misunderstanding

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

“You’re downstairs?” Lily subconsciously stands by the window and looks down the building. However,

she finds that the kitchen side is not facing the road.

She abruptly thinks of the small voice that constantly rings out of the phone. After calculating the time,

she realizes when she picked up the call, he had already set out.

She thought that he was troubled by her appearing too sympathetic. However, she did not expect that

this man would come without saying a word.

Lily’s nose is tingling, does not know what to say. The man speaks lightly, as though feeling her

emotion, “Come down, I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up the phone, Lily pours water into the thermos and walks out only to find that Bree is still

sitting in the living room. She takes out the trash that she has just sorted, and says with guilt, “Mom, I’ll

throw the trash out, and watch the firework in passing.”

Bree nods and warns her, “Don’t go too far. There are too few people on the road even in the New

Year.”

“I know.”

After Lily goes out, she takes two steps at once to go downstairs. She hurries so fast that she feels

dizzy. When she just rushes out of the door of the building, she sees a black car parked under the tree

nearby.

Trotting over to it, she knocks on the window to signal him to open the door.

With a click, the car lock is unlocked. She opens the door of the car and gets onto it, instantly

surrounded by the warmth in the car.

“Why are you here?” When she questions him, her tone is still incredibly surprising.

The man turns to look at her who apparently still has light red eyes. He raises his hand to console her

in distress, “Are you crying in New Year?”

“No.” Come to speak of this, Lily is still a little awkward and flicks his hand away, “I don’t cry.”

Rex ignores her stubbornness and asks further, “Did your family upset you?”

“No.”

“Then what?” Seeing her avoiding answering all the time, Rex says in a deep voice and looks at her

earnestly, “Lily, I’m asking you seriously.”

Knowing that she will not able to dodge anymore, she then embarrassedly tells him what had

happened at the dinner table just now. Since childhood, Harry has been telling that family’s ugliness

should not be said outside. Thus, telling him now is also a bit difficult.

After listening to it, Rex does not have any expression, not indignant nor angry, but only distress. If the

other party is not Lily’s aunt, he will definitely give them a lesson, but unfortunately, he cannot.

“So you should bring me to meet your parents as soon as possible so that others will not talk about

these things.” This is the only and best way to solve these things.

Speaking of which, Lily has a headache. She thinks that takes things as they come is the best.

However, she forgets that besides herself, her parents also carry a lot of pressure from her.

Now, to think about it, these problems must be faced. Otherwise, it will pester those around her.

After thinking, she says, “The fourth day of the new year. My dad has promised you before, if my mom

is free, I won’t stop, okay?”

“Okay.” Rex wishes they could come. He has long wanted to meet her parents but never had a chance,

“I’ll be back on the fourth afternoon. Fanny will be there too. Your parents can then have dinner with us.

We have enough time for that.”

“Okay. That’ll be the plan.”

After talking, there is a loud pop sound outside the car window, followed by a colorful firework exploding

in the dark night, sparkling bright yellow and red, forming a flower style, festive yet beautiful.

The lights of fireworks flash through the handsome facial features of the man. It is flickering and vivid,

just like an elegant painting.

He is watching the fireworks, yet she is watching him.

As if aware of the burning sight on the side, Rex turns his eyes to meet hers. Some reaction occurs.

The friction then from being caught off guard is more exciting than the firework.

Maybe it is because of too much atmosphere, maybe it is because that beauty is in the eyes of the

beholders, in Lily’s eyes, all the firework and scenery have become a foil to this man.

From the moment he appeared downstairs of her home, her eyes could only see him.

How gentle it is that being afraid she would cry by herself, he drove for nearly an hour to see her?

On the night of New Year’s Eve, he also has family members to accompany. Lily knows that it must not

be easy, but he has no complaints and even comes without a word.

There is no grievance anymore but endless movement inside.

“Rex…” Lily straightens her body and leans forward a bit, her eyes obsessively on every inch of his

face.

“I’m here.” He smiles, the inadvertent sincerity is so touching. After he finished speaking, he

immediately takes Lily’s face and kisses it without any hesitation, all proactive.

Once the intention is the same, only a kiss is enough.

His warm breath entangled between her noses and become the most charming power. The fireworks

cascaded over the window. However, at this moment, she does not appreciate it but only wants to be

loved in this warm embrace.

“I’m going to the island tomorrow. How can I go if you’re like this?” The man’s big palm falls on the

woman’s heavy coat, comforting her.

Hearing that he is leaving tomorrow, Lily unconsciously tightens her hands more, “Then come back

earlier on the fourth day, I’ll go to see you.”

She knows that during the Chinese New Year, he needs some space and because she also could not

accompany him, it’s good for him to go out and have some fun.

Rex lowers his head and places a soft kiss on the top of her head, “Call me any time. If I can’t come

back, I’ll ask someone to deal with it. Don’t hold it on your own, okay?”

Lily does not want him to worry and nods obediently, “Okay.”

After that, she thinks of something again, “Oh, Marina is not going with you?”

Even though she has asked before, she still wants to make sure.

“She’ll go back to the North Villa for the time being. Fanny will follow her and also Maxx will take care of

her. She would be fine.”

After receiving a consoling answer, Lily secretly breathes out a relieved sigh and embraces him again,

“I will miss you.”

“Remember to face call me.” Rex never knows that one day he will be so attached to a person. It is

only three or four days but it is like he is leaving for three or four years.

The two stay in the car for a while. Since it is quite late, Bree also calls. Lily then reluctantly says

goodbye to him, “I’ll get going?”

“Hmm, go.” Rex opens the door for her, also does not forget to ask for a kiss in the end.

This relationship is beyond their expectation. Now, thinking that he will meet her parents in a few days,

Lily now wonders what she should be wearing that day. She keeps thinking about the problem that she

might face in advance.

Lily spends the New Year with such anxious and expectant mood. The day passes very fast day by

day. After Bree visits her friends and relatives, it is the fourth day in a blink of an eye.

Lily books time with Bree in advance. At half-past three in the afternoon, she thinks that only Bree will

go with her. However, Harry unexpectedly follows her.

Lily becomes more nervous at once and quickly sends a message to Rex. He is very confident and tells

her not to be nervous.

Harry drives the mother and daughter to the Villa. It is obvious that she has been there for countless

times, still, she is more nervous than ever.

By looking at the grand villa in front of her, Bree is a little stunned, “This… shouldn’t this cost a lot of

money for Rex?”

Lily still has not thought of how to joke, and Harry has hummed, “What do you think; this house should

at least cost ten million.”

Bree stops talking after hearing it, it could be seen that she is also very nervous.

Finally, the car drives to the building where Rex lives. The three of them get off the car one after

another. Lily walks in the front and when she is about to unlock the door, the door suddenly opens.

Looking up, it turns out to be Fanny. Lily freezes for a moment, and there is a happy expression later,

“Fanny, you come back in advance!”

Compared with her ease, Fanny is so embarrassed. Before Lily can understand, the shadow behind

her appears in the sight.

Marina, dressed in casual clothes at home, walks to the door with a smile on her face. Between the

steps, there is an air showing that she is the hostess. However, when she sees Lily’s parents, she

freezes and blinks, then checks around the two of them and asks in inspection, “You are?”

Obviously, Harry and Bree do not expect another woman to appear at home. However, they are at the

same age. Harry comes back to his sense hurriedly and says gently, “Who are you?”

Unexpectedly, Marina seems to hear something funny. She smiles briefly and points her fingers at

herself, “I’m the date of the owner of this house.”
