He will only listen to her.
Lily is surprised by what he says, and she becomes a little sober in the cool wind.
Last night, he seemed to ask her for advices, but Lily could tell that he was going to take the case. So
she became emotional and quarreled with him. She is surprised that he would give up because she is
against it.
She knows that it would be difficult for Rex to change his mind, because he is firm and insists on
upholding justice. But now he does change his mind and is not going to take the case.
Lily is astonished. She is very surprised that he makes such a choice. She doesn't see the slightest bit
of reluctance in his eyes. He is willing to do anything for her.
Lily's tears gush out once again. She reaches out and hugs Rex's neck. Her tears quickly soak his
collar. She says, "I'm sorry. I know you want to take it. I'm just afraid that you would be in danger...."
Sensing that she calms down, Rex heaves a sigh of relief and hugs her. "I know. It's my fault."
However, Lily shakes her head and says, "It's not your fault. I'm too selfish. I want you to be mine, and I
don't want anything bad to happen to you."
What she says is what she truly feels. Rex hugs her tightly and says, "OK, I won't take it. I'll spend
more time with you and Adair."
The night wind sweeps away their quarrel, but Lily doesn't feel better. She finally gets out of the car and
goes back home with Rex hand in hand. It is late and Adair is asleep. The house is quiet, and the
sound of footsteps coming upstairs is a little obvious.
After they enter the bedroom, the sensor light lights up and shines at Lily's red eyes. Seeing that she is
in silence, Rex sits by the bed and pulls her to sit on his legs. He looks up at her and says, "Why are
you still unhappy?"
Lily doesn't say anything. She is unhappy. Even if he agrees to her request, she can't feel happy.
She doesn't want Rex to take the case. Rex decides not to take the case, but she doesn't feel relieved.
Instead, she feels depressed.
Seeing that she is absent-minded, Rex touches her face and asks, "Are you dizzy?"
"Rex," she suddenly calls his name in a soft voice.
Rex gently looks into her eyes and says, "Go ahead."
"Do you want to take that case?" Lily bites her lips. She thinks that she is unreasonable. Rex has
promised her that he won't take the case, but she keeps asking the question.
Rex wants to answer "no" so that she can feel better. However, being honest is the most important
thing for them to be together. So he hesitates for a few seconds and nods honestly, "Yes, I want to take
it."
Lily is unhappier to hear his answer. She looks down and says, "I never want to interfere in your work."
"I know."
"But I'm interfering..."
"You are doing it for my own good."
Lily is more upset. She thinks she is the same as those people who force others to do something they
dislike on the excuse of "for your own good".
He says softly, "Don't think too much. Go take a bath and sleep. Otherwise, you'll have a headache
when you wake up tomorrow. Don't go out for drinks so late at night anymore. I'll be worried."
He was so panicked when she didn't answer her phone. If she kept not answering her phone, he would
ask Pehry locate her and directly rush over to her.
Lily knows that she was wrong, so she admits her mistake and says, "It's my fault. I won't do it again."
"OK. Go and take a bath." After saying that, he gets up and is about to run her bath. Unexpectedly, Lily
hugs him.
Rex doesn't know what is going on.
"Do you feel upset?"
Lily shakes her head and says, "No."
Rex can't figure out what she is thinking, so he can only allow her to hug him quietly.
They are silent for a long time. And then Lily says after struggling with herself, "If you want to take that
case, then take it."
Rex almost thinks that he hears wrongly. He asks in surprise, "What did you say?"
Lily grits her teeth and immediately regrets her words. She hugs him tightly and says, "Stop asking. Or
I'll go back on my word later."
Rex is surprised that she would suddenly weaken when he is ready to give up. "Lily, you..."
Lily doesn't know what she is afraid of. She interrupts him and says, "I know what I'm saying. I'm not
taking nonsense and I am sober. Although I'm afraid that you might be in danger, I believe that you can
handle it well and protect yourself. I don't want to force you to give up your dreams and stop you from
doing what you want. Even if you agree to me this time, will you agree to me next time? What about
every time in the future? I don't want to be the one to stop you. I just want you to know that I care about
you very much. I love you very much. You must take good care of yourself."
"..."
Rex quietly listens to every word she says. A strong affection fills his heart and he is excited for a long
time.
"Rex, I really love you."
The strong affection hits him and he is willing to be conquered by her.
Rex can't find a word to express his feelings. He lowers his head and kisses Lily on the lips with
affection.
Lily can barely breathe. Rex loosens his grip on her slightly. He doesn't move away his lips and says,
"Lily, I love you too. My Lily..."
No man can remain calm after she tells her feelings, not to mention that Rex loves her so much. If he
can obtain her promise and support, he will have no worries.
"But you must promise me that you won't be in danger because of the case," says Lily.
Rex puts on a charming smile. He stares at her with his attractive eyes and says, "OK, I promise you."
Lily feels hot under his gaze. She struggles and says, "I'm going to take a bath."
Rex doesn't let go and leans forward, "I haven't run your bath yet."
"Never mind, I'll take a shower..." Before Lily can finish her words, she suddenly lets out a cry because
she is lifted in the air. When she knows it, she finds that she is carried by Rex. She says, "Rex, put me
down!"
However, Rex strides into the bathroom and closes the door with a leg. Not long after, Lily starts to
gasp.
"Don't move," says Rex.
"Rex, let me go. I can do it myself!" Lily says and struggles.
"I'm not feeling well. I'm dizzy," Lily says.
"It's ok. You won't feel dizzy when you get hot later."
