Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Inside the study room, the window on the wall is open, the wind blows the dark gray gauze curtains. A

fresh breeze passes through the cold winter days. Lily simply looks around and her eyes turn red

again.

She is not sentimental, but this place has already too many memories of them. Now it seems that they

are preparing to say goodbye.

Not long after that, the man’s footsteps ring behind her. He is here.

Lily blinks her eyes quickly, hiding her sadness. She does not want herself to misbehave.

The door is closed with a click. Moments ago, she felt very cold by the opening window. Now she is

glad of the window, or else she would have been breathless.

Rex is the same as he has been many times before. He walks to the swivel chair and sits down. There

is a rare disturbance sense in his calm eyes, “Tell me, say whatever you want.”

Lily’s eyes slightly tremble but soon she returns to calm. She ponders for a moment, sorting about what

she has to say. However, she could not express clearly with her mind in turmoil. Thus, she could only

say what she is thinking, “Rex, we’ve known each other for more than half a year. Today, I’ve sent my

resignation letter to the company. I’ve been considering it for nearly a month, so I am serious to leave.”

They have just done an intimate thing, but at this moment, they are like strangers that are on the verge

of separation. She’s speaking, he’s listening. He narrows his eyes a bit, letting her continue.

“In the past six months, I’m really sincere to you, I know, you too. I can feel it. But Marina’s issue makes

me understand that love alone is not enough. There are too many things that couldn’t break through

between us. Your family is prejudiced against me. Your responsibilities to Marina make me breathless. I

thought things would get better as long as I put up with these things in silence. But now, I realize that

I’m not as strong as I thought.” Speaking of which, she smiles mockingly and thinking of something.

The scene that passes through her sight is her confrontation with Marina at the door that day. “The

moment my father fell, I had hatred in my heart.”

Hatred.

This word falls in his ears. It is too scary.

Rex meets her familiar eyes. Instead of clearness, her eyes blazing with black flames. She also looks

over, saying every single word clearly for him to listen, “I hate Marina, and hate you.”

Hate everything that caused Harry to be sick, hate his distrust, and hate his cover-up for Marina.

Her grievances and forbearance are nothing. But her family is a bottom line that she cannot trample on.

She can't tolerate anyone doing anything to hurt her family.

Rex looks at her just like this, listening to his beloved woman saying that she hates him. Nobody knows

what he is thinking, even he himself is messed up. It is very very painful. The pain starts lightly and

after a while, it feels like someone is stabbing his heart.

“I know you hate me.” He could not help but pulls out the drawer to get a cigarette. Thinking that she

has just had a fever, he withdraws his hand again and clicks anxiously on the table for a few times, “I

indeed made a mistake. I can guarantee you it won’t happen again in the future. It is unexpected that

Marina came back that day, Max didn’t report it. I’ve fired him. And as for the rest, you know it as well. I

couldn’t make it in time and I feel guilty. Her falling in the water is risking her life and couldn’t be

delayed. I didn’t mean to neglect you, it’s just what you’ve done inevitably made me chill.”

About the issue of Lily pushing Marina into the water, she never denies it from the beginning to the end.

Thus, in Rex’s heart, Lily is not that innocent.

No one would know the truth if she’s unwilling to explain. Therefore, Rex’s misunderstanding is also

reasonable.

Things can be clearly explained in one sentence, why didn’t she tell him?

Because in addition to the truth, Lily cares more about his attitude, which is also contradictory.

However, she just wanted to see if the man would believe her without any evidence.

It turns out that he will not.

Hence, there is no need to explain. The more she explains, the more she gets hurt.

Lily swallows all the sadness and disappointment, trying to make herself look rational and indifferent,

“Since things have already happened, let’s break up. I can’t act like everything did not happen and I

also couldn’t be in a space with Marina. My parents are right, no woman could accept it, I was stupid

before.”

Now that she recalls everything, she feels ridiculous.

“I can promise you everything as long as you stay.”

“Including Marina leaving this city?”
