Chapter 337: Her Relationship with Ryan

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

In his thirty-odd years of existence, he has never been scared of anything since adulthood. But this

time, his determination is defeated by her crystalline tears.

It is better that he hasn't spoken but as soon as he becomes gentle, her tears continue to flow until her

words become mumbles.

Rex doesn't take another step further but retreats. His body couldn't react in time and he looks at the

woman's naked body intensely.

He turns and takes his jacket and places it on her shoulders. The jacket is very big and is able to cover

her crotch.

After doing these, he backs off and takes out a cigarette and lights it. He draws a smoke as if to use the

smell to cover what had happened.

The fire which accumulated for five years cannot be doused so easily.

In the quiet room, the woman's sobs pierce onto his ears. They are not loud but they pierce right into

his heart.

At this moment, someone knocks on the door and the assistant says with urgency, “Mr. Rex, Miss Lily's

phone is ringing.”

Lily takes a deep breath. At this time the call shouldn't be from her office and no one from her circle of

friends would call her at this hour unless it's from Ryan or Adair.

When she thinks of them, Lily feels tense again. She looks behind at him and sees him smoking with

his head lowered. After a while, he walks to the door and takes her phone in.

Rex's sullen eyes notice the name on the screen, Ryan.

Rex frowns slightly and eventually gives her the phone. If he doesn't, she may cry out again.

Lily takes over the phone in a hurry, almost snatching it. She sees that Rex expresses his displeasure

and flinches a bit.

In her current condition, even if Rex has any temper, he couldn't express it. He can only suppress and

endure within him.

Lily grabs her clothes and walks to a corner furthest from him. She takes two deep breaths and then

answers the call, “Hello?”

“Why aren't you back yet?” Ryan's voice comes through the phone. The calm voice gives her a

headache and a feeling of helplessness, “Adair woke up for some water and was asking where mommy

was.”

When she hears this, Lily couldn't endure and is overcome with emotions. She is worried that Ryan can

sense something and forcibly endures her whimper until her face becomes red. Behind her is Rex who

is staring at her with ferocious eyes. She didn't dare to say much, “Something happened tonight and

I'm resolving it. Don't worry, it'll be done soon.”

“What happened?” Ryan tenses up and asks her seriously, “Is it serious?”

“Nothing, I can settle it by myself.”

“Do you need me to send someone to pick you up?” Separated by a phone, Ryan feels that something

isn't right but isn't sure what it is.”

“No need, I will leave with my assistant, don't worry.” Lily can clearly feel that as she speaks, the room's

temperature starts to fall and it is entirely due to the man who is smoking inside.

She quickly hangs up the call, “I'll tell you about it later, bye.”

Once the call ends, Lily quickly puts on her underwear and gown. Although the gown is in a mess, his

jacket can cover a portion of it.

Once she tidies herself, Lily bumps into the eyes of Rex who is looking at her, “Boyfriend?”

His tone is more of sarcasm rather than a concern.

Before Lily can say anything, he says again, “You're living together?”

“I…”

“What I did with you, have you done it with him yet?”

Lily didn't know how to answer. Although they are living together, they have yet to be sexual. But in

front of him, she didn't know what to say.

Her silence is an affirmation to Rex.

No wonder she resisted him, she had already accepted another man.

Half of his anger dissipated, now the feelings in his head are despair and sadness. It is like his most

beloved thing was snatched by someone. He is upset, he can't accept it.

But what can he do?

Bind her up to keep her by his side?

She is an independent person with her own thoughts. Even if she is physically here but her heart isn't,

what can he do?

This kind of thought makes Rex frighten and unsettled. He couldn't do anything and yet can't just look

by as she falls in love with someone else.

He can only console himself that this is temporary, that she said all those out of anger.

The cigarette burns to the bud quickly and in his distraction, the cigarette burns his skin before he feels

it and stubs it out in the ashtray. He looks at her, “I'll send someone to send you back.”

As if she doesn't expect him to say so, Lily says surprisingly, “You… allow me to leave?”

“You can stay if you wish.” He says it as if he is joking but hidden in it is a slight hope.

Without any further delay, she turns around and walks out without looking back.

Rex stands watching her leave and he looks vulnerable and helpless. The assistant inadvertently looks

back and sees his expression and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

All these years no one could understand him. They said that he is cold, arrogant, and heartless. But

how many people can understand that he had given up everything and died once? That's why now he

sets aside all this heart and feelings.

Before she goes back, Lily goes to look for Abby; she can't go back with how she is looking now.

“Do you have any clothes for me to change into?”

Abby is stunned at her condition and couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, “Oh my god!

What happened to you?”

Lily doesn't know how to explain and she can't say too much now. She can only pretend that nothing

happened, “Nothing happened, there was a slight struggle.”

“He got physical with you? Or did he violate you? If so, you must tell me! Lily, we are law-abiding

people, you don't have to be scared…” Abby keeps asking as she is sure that Lily has been violated.

Lily lifts her hand to interrupt her, “I wasn't hurt, relax, I know how to handle myself.”

She quickly changes her clothes. It is a long sleeve blouse and a pair of jeans. It is slightly baggy,

“Sorry to disturb you tonight. Please don't tell anyone. I'll see you tomorrow.”
