He goes to the second floor stealthily like a burglar in his own home. He goes first to the bedroom to
have a look before turning around and enters Adair’s room.
He knocks on the door and is asked to enter. The child is sitting on the carpet and playing with his toy
train.
“Adair has played for an entire day. Aren’t you tired? Shall you rest now?“” Once Rex steps into the
room, he starts to coax Adair to sleep.
It’s already after nine and normally Adair would be asleep by now.
But the kid has his own opinion as he shakes his head, “I’m not tired, I slept with mom for a long time
this afternoon.”
What he says is reasonable.
But Rex feels anxious. He intends to ‘do’ something with Lily afterward and if Adair doesn’t sleep, there
is a risk of the mood being affected. This is unacceptable.
He walks twice around the room and quickly says, “You climbed the hill for so long and your body must
be tired. You are overly excited and we came home late so you can’t feel it. I’m sure that you’ll fall
asleep when you lay down.”
“But I don’t want to sleep at all. It’s so boring to lie down.”
Boring?
Rex ponders for another means. He is worried that Lily will soon come out of the bathroom.
Suddenly a thought flashes across his mind and he walks quickly out of the room. He goes to the third
floor to take an electronic game console. It was left behind in his car by Pehry and Pehry hasn’t taken it
back. At that time he said that Pehry was childish and didn’t expect it to come into use now.
Rex quickly goes down and back into the room. He gives the console to the kid, “Come, let uncle give
you something to play, see if you like it!”
Adair takes it over and under Rex’s coaching, he is able to grasp the key of the game. It’s the game of
snake, throw circles, and boxing. These three games are sufficient to keep him occupied for a while.
“Wow, look, I’ve already grown so long!” He is very excited and fixated on the screen.
Rex pats his small shoulder, “Then be a good boy and lay on the bed. Play the game if you are bored,
sleep when you are tired. Okay?”
Adair’s heart is captured by the game console and obediently does as he was told. He showers and
changes into his pajamas in ten minutes and proceeds to lie on his bed.
On seeing his small head lying on the bed, Rex is very relieved. He turns off the main light leaving the
bedside table lamp and adjusts it to the dimmest brightness. As he closes the door, he warmly tells the
kid, “Good night.”
“Good night.”
“Clunk”, the door is closed.
The man’s hand releases the doorknob and he sighs in relief. He finally settles the energetic little kid.
Thereafter…
He turns and walks to the bedroom. He tries the doorknob and it is locked but it doesn’t matter. This is
his home and he has the spare keys.
He takes out the key from his pocket and inserts it into the keyhole for a try, it unlocks.
The sound of the rushing of water can be heard and it is obvious that the person hasn’t noticed. He
walks in, closes and locks the door.
Only the wall lights are turned on. The dim lighting added to the hazy ambiance of the night. He
continues to hear the sound of the water and he is feeling hot from his desires.
Rex takes out the red wine and places it at the bedside table and lay on his side on the large bed. He
stares intensely in the direction of the bathroom, and feels that he could burn a hole from his fiery stare.
He waits for a long time and his feeling is like being in a desert and deprived of eating meat for five
years. In front of him is a delicious feast but he has to wait for the shower to finish before eating. It is
torture.
Lily didn’t know what was going on. The water from the shower continues to trickle onto the floor. She
absolutely can’t hear any movement. She continues to wash up cleanly before opening the door and
she is stunned.
On the white double bed, he is wearing a dark blue silk nightgown that is tied at the waist. The collar is
open, intentionally, or otherwise revealing his chest muscles and the laterals. His hair is damp. His
handsome face is more pronounced in the dim lighting.
He places one hand behind his head and the other he pats on the bed when he sees her coming out
from the bathroom, his lips signals, “Come here.”
His voice is deep and playful, just like a scoundrel flirting with a girl on the streets.
Lily’s heart starts to race excitedly as his pose is so enticing. Although he was irritating, what he did
was alluring perhaps he is good looking?
It’s late at night and they were a man and a woman in the room.
The anticipation is at its peak.
She takes a deep breath and suppresses the tremble in her voice, endeavoring to ensure a normal
voice, “I remember that I locked the door.”
He raises his eyebrow and without any hesitation, he waves his hand and says confidently, “You locked
the door, but this is my house.”
He looks at Lily’s whole body from head to toe. He looks through the nightgown and can almost see her
fair complexion. His eyes lit up and repeats himself, “come over.”
The same words but now there is more emphasis.
Lily is cautious and looks at him, “Go out first, the kid is still awake.”
“I’ve tucked him in bed, rest assured, no one will interrupt us tonight.”
After saying this, Lily suddenly remembers Fanny. No wonder she is given the night off. It had been
planned all along!
How was he so certain that he can have her tonight? Is he so confident of himself?
When she thinks about it, she couldn’t help but want to agitate him. She says coldly, “I have no interest
in you.”
For this kind of matter, a woman’s rejection is a sore point for every man. No man can listen to such
words and maintain his composure. Although these words are loaded, it is very insulting. This was an
attack on his manhood!
Rex is a man and is naturally upset after hearing this. He gets up from the bed immediately. He looks at
the woman standing at the bathroom door who has yet to put on her shoes. He walks over to her in big
strides, stirring up a breeze.
Looking at him getting nearer with each step, Lily’s heart became flustered. She reaches for the
doorknob behind her. Without saying a word, she takes a step back and bang, she shuts the door.
Rex froze and his nose was almost slammed by the door.
His raging desires were doused by her coldness. His face turned black as coal and his voice deepens,
“Open up, Lily.”
“Go out and I will open!”
“Ha!” He laughs and didn’t utter any nonsense, “I say again, open up.”
“No, no!” She says behind the door angrily, “Aren’t you very honorable? Why did you sneak into my
room, don’t tell me Director Gabbot likes to peek at a woman taking a shower?”
This ignited Rex’s fury. He places his hands on his hips and is speechless with fury. He tilts his head for
a while before continuing, “Don’t intend to open? Do you want to shower without a door or I find
someone to tear down the door?”
