Chapter 290: Being Completely Disappointed at Him

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Rex’s expression suddenly changes and there is an inexplicable nervousness in his depressed tone,

“What do you mean by saying that?”

This sentence is like a switch that turns on Lily’s reactions. She can’t help shivering fiercely. This slim

and weak woman looks quite pitiful at this moment.

“What do I mean?” She points at herself and shakes her head, “I am the one who is supposed to ask

this question!”

Rex doesn’t reply, but there are endless emotions that Lily can’t understand under his eyes, and he

looks at her in a sharper gaze.

Lily looks into his eyes; her palm-shaped face is as pale as a white paper. She puts her hands on the

desk to support herself. Only in this way can she keep her sitting posture, “What’s the latest progress of

my case? Tell me.”

Rex doesn’t move a little bit. She sits in front of him across the table. Looking into her red, swollen

eyes, he feels unease, as if the white lie he told himself before is proving to be useless.

She must have found out something.

“Someone visited you, right? Who’s it?”

Lily mocks to herself upon hearing these words. She has been waiting for his explanation for a long

while, but what she finally gets is this flat sentence which is full of worries. What is he worrying about?

Is he worrying about her? No, he is worrying that he might be caught in a lie.

In the past, she believed him wholeheartedly, but now, those trusts turn into disbelief. Things will

develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme, so as her trust on him.

The more Lily thinks about it, however, the more she feels it ridiculous. She snorts with her eyelashes

quivering, “What? You have something on your conscience and don’t want to let me know about it. Are

you afraid that someone would disclose it to me? All right, actually I knew it. Let me say it out for you.”

She tries hard to suppress the bitter feelings in her heart and spits out every word with all her strength,

“You promised me to help me prove my innocence. But after I was detained in the police station, you

changed your mind and made that decision without informing me? Plead guilty, ah? Rex, when you are

saying that you believe in me, you are thinking about grilling my ass!”

Her words are like knifes which stab his heart. Rex stands up, trying hard to suppress his panic. The

shadow of his tall figure totally envelopes her, “I never thought in this way, and I never suspected you

either.”

“Then why are you trying to persuade me to plead guilty?” Lily however doesn’t want to hear his

explanation any more. “Aren’t you self-contradictory?”

She has known about it, why he is still trying to lie to her?

Being forced to the extreme, Lily, at this moment, calms down. She takes the document from the

drawer and hands it to Rex. All the terms are clearly written down on the white paper, leaving him no

room to argue.

“Did you sign this? If you say no, then I will believe in you.”

Rex’s gaze shifts to the familiar signature. Of course he signed this.

He is stiffened. A thin layer of cold sweats appears on his forehead. With the appearance of the

document, he loses his ability to react, “Lily…”

“Don’t call me!” Lily stares at him with her big eyes, from which he can clearly see the fragility and

sorrow. “The old saying ‘Hearts lie between bellies’ is indeed true. But I didn’t expect that the man who

slept by my side every night and whom I loved the most, would be the one who scheme against me the

most. I really don’t understand. If you want me to pay the price and to live a miserable life, you can just

say it out. Obviously I am not qualified to be your opponent. Why…Why are you torturing me whiling

getting my heart…”

If she doesn’t love him, she won’t be so sad. But it is because that she loves him and cares about him

so much, that she feels it unbearable.

Her questions mixed with his own messy heartbeats linger around his ears, making his facial

expression gloomier and his throat terribly dry, “I can explain it.”

But Lily doesn’t want to listen to him anymore, more exactly, for she, any explanation is useless, “No

need. You just need to tell me, did you know all this before, and did you sign the document?”

Rex feels that his lips so dry, as if he is a stranded fish. He subconsciously licks his bloodless lips and

struggles to let out a sound, “Yep.”

“Heh,” Staring at him, Lily suddenly gives him a smile, “Then are you planning to send me to jail?”

“No!” He raises his voice volume, denying it decisively as soon as she asks. “In the beginning I wanted

to plead innocence, but all the surveillance videos and evidences point to you. It is very difficult to

achieve the result you wanted under such limited conditions. If we insist on that choice, it is possible

that we will get a result that is worse than pleading guilty. I made this decision after taking all aspects

into account. Of course I will not let you stay in jail. When we get the verdict from the court, I will bail

you out through some relationships. Our relationship will not be affected by this…”

“Our relationship will not be affected by this?” Lily interrupts him and repeats his words, “Then what

about me? Do I have to live with such stains all my life? Why so?”

She is the most innocent person, but now he acts as if she is the one who has done something wrong.

“Lily, although I believe in you, it’s not enough. The court’s decision depends on evidence.” After saying

these, Rex squats down and looks straight forward into her eyes. He reaches out his hand and covers

her small, cold hand, “I won’t make you suffer any grievance, I promise.”

Lily wrinkles her eyebrows and fiercely draws back her hand, “You never did what you promised me. I

can’t believe in you anymore.”

“This is the best choice.”

“The best choice?” Just now she tried hard to stop the tears, but now they fall down again upon hearing

his words, “You said you won’t make me suffer grievance. I didn’t kill her grandma, but I was slandered

as a murderer. This is a kind of grievance. In the future, people would scold my parents as the ones

who raised a murderer, and I can no longer engage in my beloved career. This is another kind of

grievance. So this is your promise, ah? What do you want me to do?”

Rex moves his lips trying to refute her words but fails to speak out a word. He raises his hand to wipe

away the tears on her face, but Lily turns her head to evade his touch.

“Except for me, Marina was the only one present. I haven’t told you my doubts about her since the

accident, but today, I want to tell you, I doubt her. Although the victim is her grandmother, I believe this

stone-hearted woman would do it. She is more immoral and vicious than we thought. She had no

humanity! But Rex, did you ever suspect her?”

Rex did think about this possibility, but…

“Lily, there is no evidence.”

This sentence blocks all the words Lily wants to say. Apart from evidence, shouldn’t there be something

else? Apart from law, what she cares the most is his idea.

“Get out. I don’t want to continue this topic.” She slowly closes her eyes and grabs the clothes on her

chest; as if only in this way can she relieve the pain of her heart.

Her reaction makes Rex so worried that he is reluctant to leave. In addition, he has a hunch that if he

doesn’t give her a satisfactory explanation before leaving, their relationship will go worse.

“I know I shouldn’t have hidden it from you. I didn’t intend to do that, it was just that I didn’t know how to

tell you.” This arrogant man lowers his head and shows his white feather this time, fearing that he

would lose his beloved woman.

Tears keep falling down from Lily’s terribly empty eyes, “At this point, I even regret meeting you and

falling in love with you. I’ve been totally devoted to our relationship without any reserve, but what I

finally get is not a good result. Maybe I am doomed to have an incomplete love relationship. Rex, I am

so tired. My trust on you has been run out. We really can’t go back.”

“Why can’t?” As long as she is willing to trust him, they can go back.

“I can force myself to be together with you, but my heart tells me…” Lily pokes at her heart and adds,“It

has expelled you.”
