"That's good, that's good." Karl repeats the sentence and heaves a sigh of relief. Just now, he was
worrying that Lily would have a miserable life over the past five years. If that is the case, then Rex
would be so guilty that he would not say a word even if Lily wants to stab him to death.
Fortunately, everything goes beyond expectations.
"What are you going to do next?" The two meet again after five years, and Karl subconsciously thinks
that they will be together again.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Rex on the other end of the phone goes silence for half a
minute, "I don't know."
Karl feels inexplicably choked, and is a bit surprised, "What?"
“Looks like she doesn’t want to see me.” Judging from her reaction tonight, it seems like she doesn’t
want to be together with him or to talk to him. She was so panicked as if she was facing a formidable
enemy when she saw him.
Karl frowns, stands up from the sofa, and paces back and forth in the room uneasily. Normally
speaking, they used to so intimate but were forced to separate each other because of some accidents.
Now that they meet again, why… He stops thinking as an idea pops into his mind. That’s the case! Rex
is grateful to the reunion, but what about Lily? Since she didn’t die in that accident, why didn’t she
come to see Rex over the past five years?
Perhaps, she never plans to come back.
Karl gets nervous at the thought. Five years is neither long nor short, but it is long enough to change a
person’s affection. So the worst result is that Lily likes someone else.
He is startled by the idea and subconsciously refuses to accept this. Fearing that Rex would think too
much which will then intensify their conflicts, he comforts softly, “Don’t worry. It’s hard to figure it out
immediately with one or two sentences, since you just met again. Just give her and yourself some more
time.”
“I see.” Rex smiles bitterly, “What’s my standpoint to force her?”
Karl senses the sadness and helplessness in his tone and doesn’t know what to say. He even has no
idea about how to comfort Rex who is frustrated in love.
“Karl, you must have no idea about how beautiful she is now. I’ve dreamed of this several times.” As he
speaks, tears well up. Rex rubs his eyes to hold back the tears, “My persistence over the past years is
not a vain.”
Karl has witnessed his hardship and guilty over the past five years. Now that they meet again, he can
of course understand Rex’s feelings of seeing his beloved woman again. He comforts, “Everything will
be better. As long as she’s alive, everything will be better.”
As they are having a heart-to-heart talk, Rex suddenly hears some bumps from behind and frantically
turns around following the sound. He then sees the woman gathering up her dress with one hand and
patting her chest with the other hand, while the crystal photo frame, which is originally put on the
bedside table, has fallen to the ground.
She looks up in panic and bumps into his deep-set eyes.
Their gaze meet in the air through the transparent glass door, and Lily’s first reaction is to run away!
She turns around in panic and runs towards the door sparing no time to wear her shoes. Her white,
rounded toes form a distinctive contrast with the black carpet. However, just as she touches the
doorknob and before she can hold it, she feels a blustery wind from behind, and the next moment, her
whole being is carried onto someone’s shoulder!
It’s true that she is ‘carried’ with her abdomen on the man’s shoulder and her head down.
"Ah!" Being completely unprepared, Lily exclaims in panic and beats the man’s back vehemently, “Put
me down! Rex, put me down!”
Lily was completely unprepared, exclaiming, a pair of small hands beat the man's back hard, "Let me
down, Rex you let me down!"
Being carried on his shoulder and seeing him slowly walking towards the bed, Lily has a nasty feeling
and vehemently kicks Rex.
Rex has confined her with only one hand. Due to her violent struggles, her body slides down for several
inches. Rex is startled and flings her into the soft king-size bed.
Lily feels a tad dizzy as her body bounces twice on the soft bed. But she doesn’t realize that her dress
is gathered up because of the movements, unveiling her fair, charming thighs.
Before she can regain her thinking abilities, a fiery body suddenly presses onto hers. She knows who
he is even if she doesn’t see him. She’s so familiar with his strong smell of pine wood, as if it has been
carved in her mind.
"Don't touch me, don't!" She struggles and kicks violently, staring at him with her big watery eyes, as if
he’s a monster.
Rex is hurt by her gaze. He vaguely knows that she’s unwilling to stay close with him, but he feels that
their intimacy in the past is so ironic when seeing her vehement struggles.
He doesn’t intend to force her, nor will he do things she is reluctant to. But just as he stands up, he
hears a sharp shout which is full of panic, “Rex, you can’t touch me. I have a boyfriend now. You are
not allowed to treat me like this!”
Boyfriend!
The word nails Rex on the ground. He can accept other excuses and has made preparations for the
possibility that she would blame or even hate him. But what did she say just now?
She has a boyfriend in this foreign country?
The thought that she might be intimate with the other man over the past five years makes Rex
heartbroken and uncomfortable, as if millions of ants are gnawing the flesh of his heart.
Although he’s mad, he smiles at the sight of her stubborn expression. He confines her legs with his
long, muscular legs, grasps her thin wrists with only one hand and puts them on the top of her head.
Completely confining her, he stares at her gloomily, “Lily, say it again, dare you?”
Lily was just startled and blurted out the excuse without a second thought. How does she have a
boyfriend? She even has no one to flirt with. Ryan is an exception, but she’s clear that there’s nothing
between she and Ryan.
But seeing his abominable expression, she suddenly loses the mood to make an explanation. Why so?
He treated her in that way five years ago, but now he even bullies her without feeling guilty!
She glares at him. But she doesn’t know that due to her cheeks are flushed with anger, she looks like a
shy girl under the light, “Mr. Rex, please behave yourself.”
“Heh!” Rex sneers and stares at her with a hideous expression, “Just now you called my name, but
now you call me Mr. Rex. Are you forgetful? Or are you just trying to make a clean break with me?”
Lily is confined by him and cannot move an inch. The two are so close to each other and her breasts
would touch his sturdy chest along with her breathing. She feels quite humiliated and struggles fiercely,
“Now that you know that I want to make a clean break with you, why are you doing such an indecent
thing?”
Indecent?
He immediately came to see her after the banquet with anticipation, hoping to check whether she was
good or not. He didn’t expect her to understand his crazy sentiment of missing her and his heartbreak,
because he had done something wrong and these were what he deserved. But she said he’s indecent?
Rex feels really heartbroken. This word is like a knife mincing his body and scooping out his heart. He
stares at her with sophisticated emotions in his deep-set eyes, which she can understand, “You
meant… I am indecent?”
