“But...but I am still a bit afraid.” Adair looks down at his hand. The psychological shadow does remain
in his heart.
Rex is not vexed at all and patiently consoles him, “Daddy will be right by your side. If you are afraid or
nervous, just grab my clothes and I will take you home.”
Hearing this, the nervousness in Adair’s mind is somewhat dispersed by Rex’s steady tone. Though he
still feels tense, he follows Rex and gets out of the car.
They walk into his grandparents’ house, and Rex’s grandparents are already waiting in the living room.
When hearing the movements at the door, they both look at them. Wearing a blue coat, Rex takes
Adair’s hand and walks in with the cute little boy. Their clothes almost look identical, and Adair’s
eyebrows and eyes look exactly like Rex’s. Anyone will know at first sight that they are father and son.
Unlike the last time, this time Rex’s grandparents are certain that Adair is their great grandson.
Therefore, they both wave to Adair with smile, “Adair, come here and let your great grandpa and great
grandma have a look at you.”
Hearing how they addressed themselves, Rex freezes and then lets out a sigh of resignation in his
heart. But it is good enough that unlike the last time, they addressed themselves right this time.
Afraid that Adair might be shy, Rex holds his hand and leads him before the couch. Then they sit next
to each other on the couch. Rex points at the couch across from them and says to Adair gently, “Call
them great grandpa and great grandma.”
Adair does as he said and calls out, “Great grandpa, great grandma.”
“Well done, Adair.” Rex’s grandma is so happy and she walks quickly to ask the nurse to prepare some
fruits, “Wait for great grandma, and I will go get you some foodies!”
Rex’s grandpa doesn’t show his happiness in an obvious way, but when he hears the “great grandpa”
from Adair’s mouth, excitement overflows his eyes. He watches the small face that is almost the same
as that of Rex when he was young, and can only say, “Well done, well done!”
The old couple are very happy to see Adair and want to lay out every good thing in their house before
him. But due to what happened last time, apparently, Adair is a bit overcautious.
The old man takes a banana from tea table and hands it to Adair, “Don’t be afraid, this is your home
too.”
Adair takes the banana carefully and nods politely, “Thank you, great grandpa.”
The old man can’t stop smiling, “Well done.”
Watching his grandparents so busy with making Adair comfortable here, frankly, Rex feels content. He
has never enjoyed this kind of treatment in all these years. Though his grandparents made mistakes
before, after all, they are connected by blood. They love Adair with all their hearts.
This is enough for him. At his age, he has got everything, and the only thing he still desires is a happy
family.
...
Vivian soon knows that Rex took Adair back to his grandparents’ house. The private detective who has
been keeping an eye on Rex told her Rex’s whereabouts. On the third day, Rex got out and went back
to his grandparents’ house?
Her lips rise up coldly, and hatred appears in her eyes. All that she has sacrificed for him in these three
years can’t even compare with a child!
“What on earth do you want? If I keep following him, he will soon find out.” At the other end of the
phone, a man’s voice processed by a voice changer comes up.
Vivian regains her consciousness and stares at the darkness outside of her window. A horrible scheme
comes up in her mind. She says, “Keep watching them. And if they leave his grandparents’ house, tell
me immediately.”
After hanging out the phone, Vivian sits on her bedside silently for a while. Then she looks around her
room. Watching the familiar layout, unspeakable sorrow rises up in her heart, which soon becomes
anger and results in her psychological distortion. All she wants is happiness and that man, why is it so
hard?
No, if she can’t get him, then no one can！
After three years, she can’t let go the love for him now. She can only destroy him.
Thinking about this, Vivian picks up her phone and finds a series of photos, in which a naked woman is
tangling with a man whose face isn’t clear. What they are doing is too disgusting to be put in words.
She finds Rex’s number and sends these pictures to him. Watching the photos loading, she wants
vengeance more and more. In ten minutes, the man calls.
Watching the caller ID on screen, Vivian feels at loss for a moment. In all these years, she never
received a call from him, and now he is calling her but only on account of Lily.
Vivian takes a deep breath, “Rex, it’s so strange that you are calling me.”
Different from her whose tone is relaxed, Rex talks in a deep voice. He sounds like the vortex in deep
sea which keeps stirring up frightening emotions, “Where did you get those photos?”
Vivian has got used to his straight questioning since a long time ago. Unless he needs something, Rex
never says an extra word to her. But right now, it is she who has the discourse power, so she is not in a
hurry.
“Rex, after what you did to me in front of his grandparents’ house last time, aren’t you feeling a little bit
guilty?”
“Where did you get those photos?”
Vivian smiles lightly and his voice is full of sarcasm, “You only care about her, don’t you?”
At the other end of the phone, Rex’s patience is wearing thin. Though he knows those photos aren’t
real, he can’t help but feel angry when seeing them.
“I will ask you again. What on earth is with those photos?” He grits his teeth and repeats. But there is
threat hidden behind his voice now.
Vivian doesn’t want him to hang out the phone, “I got it from someone. If you really care, meet with
me.”
“Product of Photoshops?” Rex snorts, and each word sounds like they were drowned in cold water.
At this moment, Vivian loses control, “Even if it is the product of Photoshops, after I send it out, Lily and
that child will be suffering.”
Rex thinks she has totally lost her mind. Then he thinks of Vivian’s family and threatens her, “Did you
think about the consequence?”
“Rex, do you really think I am in the mood to think for other people. Nobody cares about me. Why
should I care about others?”
Vivian sounds like a desperate person on the verge of a cliff and who wants to do whatever it takes to
achieve her goal.
Rex won’t even care if she tries to do this to him. He never takes her tricks seriously. But now that Lily
is involved, he has to get serious, “What do you want?”
“I don’t want anything. I just want you to meet with me so that we can sort things out.” Vivian bursts out
without thinking, “If you agree to meet with me, I won’t let out the photos. After we sort everything out, I
promise I will leave you alone.”
Her promise means nothing to Rex. But she got one thing right, which was that they should talk face to
face. At least he can’t let these photos spread out. And with the matter of these photos, he will have the
righteous reason to deal with her family.
With that, Rex agrees after a quick thought, “Time and place.”
“Amber Café, No. 24, Southern Door Street. Come here now and I will wait for you.” Vivian adds,
“Come here alone and don’t bring anyone with you.”
