What first comes to her mind is that as Rex told her about the child, there must be something going on
between them. But what did she say? She said she could accept the child?
Lily says coolly, "In the present or future, my child doesn't need to be accepted by you."
Vivian is annoyed. But as Rex is there, she has to suppress her anger, "Miss Lily, please watch your
language."
Lily looks at the two people in front of her. One is like a rubberneck. Another is stealing the show. He
seems to have no intention of talking with her.
Lily steps back and with a glance at Ryan, and then says in a cold tone, "All right, if Mr. Rex doesn't
want to talk with me, it's okay."
"I want to talk to you." Unexpectedly, Rex replies without hesitation and the next second he releases
Vivian's wrist. While talking to Vivian, he is still starting at Lily, "You wait outside for a while."
Vivian gets confused, "What?"
He was standing by her side just now, but now...
Before she figures it out, Rex turns around and walks towards the conference room. Vivian awkwardly
stands there, watching Lily and Ryan walking to the room after Rex.
Bam! The door is closed and Vivian can't hear anything. Looking around, she is alone there as if
nothing had happened.
Vivian is upset that she's like an outsider. But...when she touches her wrist, she can still feel Rex's
warmth.
A few minutes ago, Rex held her wrist.
During these two or three years, he always treated her with indifference. With only disgust at her, he
was even reluctant to talk with her, left alone holding her hands.
But he held her wrist today.
Vivian never dreamed of that. She can't feel better so that she even wants him to hold her hands
forever.
She believed she only loved his status along with his gorgeous appearance and body. But now she
realizes she loves him for everything. He is the only man that she craves no matter he is rich or poor.
After the long years, Vivian may recall when she fell in love with him. It is probably from this moment
that she has been dying for his love.
...
There is a frigid atmosphere in the room where Lily and Ryan sit on one side while Rex sits opposite
them. Preoccupied with their own ideas, they look at each other but no one speaks.
Lily can't tolerate the embarrassing atmosphere and breaks the ice, "I need to talk with you about the
child."
"OK. Let's talk." Rex spreads his hands with confidence.
Lily hates him looking so self-assured that she feels like a toy in his palms. But she needs to be tolerant
for the sake of the child, "I said I would think it over when I was in J City. I made my final decision."
He gets serious, "What's the decision?"
Lily grits her teeth and summons the courage, "I'm going to go back to England with Adair."
"This is the decision you made?" Rex sneers, "Or you originally planned to put me off till you called in
your reinforcement?"
Obviously the reinforcement he said is Ryan. Lily's eyebrows knit, "It was me who made the decision. It
has nothing to do with him."
"So, should I see my child leaving with someone else and do nothing?"
"Mr. Rex may get it wrong. Adair is not legally your child," says Ryan suddenly.
"We are related by blood. How could you say he's not my child?" As a brain-worker, he always shows
contempt for fight and quarrel that he considers to be childish. But he can't help himself today.
"Except the ties of blood, he in fact has nothing to do with you." Lily gets furious but looks calm, "There
is no affection between you and Adair."
Her words deeply hurt Rex. No matter what others say, he will not bat an eyelid. But Lily, though looks
weak, is good at breaking his heart.
He smiles with disdain, "Shouldn't you be responsible for our current relationship?"
"I don't want to have a quarrel with you." Lily looks down, "I told you my decision. I will leave with him. I
know it's not easy for you. I can meet all your requests as long as they are reasonable."
Rex's face clouds up. He leans forward slightly with fierceness in his dark eyes, "Do you think I'm being
a pushover so you can take the child from me? That's impossible."
His firm rejection makes Lily anxious, "Rex!"
She sounds too aggressive at the moment. Ryan interrupts her, "Mr. Rex, if you can force them to stay,
I can also help them leave."
He slightly narrows his eyes as if he's recalling the past. His every word is a cruel blow to Rex, "Five
years ago I did it. It's the same story now."
He deliberately mentions the past five years in which Rex experienced his most frustrating and darkest
time. He reopens Rex's old wounds to put him in extreme anxiety and fear.
Rex gets furious. It takes all of his self-control to suppress his flooding rage.
"I didn't know Mr. Ryan has the habit of supporting someone else's wife and child," He says ironically.
Lily bites her lower lip, glaring at him. Before she speaks, Rex looks at her, "Do you think it offensive?
Then don't disgrace me."
"I disgrace you?" Lily points at the doorway, "Well, don't tell me you are single!"
Rex puts out a feeler with scorn, "Oh, do you care whether I'm single?"
"I don't care whom you're with. But I must leave with Adair. Given to his future stepmother, I will not let
him live with you."
Hearing the word "stepmother", Rex, with a strange expression on his look, seems to pick up on
something of Lily who almost loses control, "Now that you're reluctant to be with me, why do you care
about what kind of woman I went out with?"
