Let's Get Married Chapter 417: He Keeps Calling Her Name Even If He’s Drunk

Adair ponders and shakes his head eagerly, “No. I want to stay with Mummy.”

Although he is saying “no”, Lily can still discern the overwhelming sense of loss in his eyes. It seems
like she was forcing Adair to make a choice.

“Chicken soup is ready!” Fanny puts a bowl of chicken soup in front of Lily. The soup looks delicious
and smells good and Lily feels quite hungry as a single glance of the soup has stirred up her appetite.

She picks up the spoon to scoop a spoonful of soup, lifts it to her mouth and blows it, and then hands it
to Adair, “Have a try?”

“I’ve drunken it at noon, so serve yourself, mummy.” After finishing the words, Adair climbs down her
arms and sits still beside, fearing that he would disturb his beloved mummy from having the soup.

Lily eats the soup and thinks of what Adair said just now, not noticing that Rex has go downstairs.

Rex has had anything either; therefore, Fanny also serves him a bowl of chicken soup. He picks up the
bowl and the spoon. Then there comes the sonorous sound of the crash of the spoon and bowl, and
Lily finally comes to her own sense.

She meets into his slanted eyes. Rex asks softly, “What are you thinking? Looks like you are lost in
thoughts.”

Lily lowers her head, to the point that her nose almost touches the bowl, “Nothing.”

“How does it taste?”

“Very good.”



“Then you should have more bowls of soup, in case that you may feel hungry later. After all, there are
no snacks in the house.”

Adair hastily cuts in when hearing his words and complains, “Oh that’s true. Mummy you should stuff
yourself. Uncle has no snacks, and he even not allows me to have them!”

Lily just refuses Adair to eat snacks from time to time, but Rex almost bans him to have them.
However, kids like snacks and they would be more longing for it if being forbidden to eat them.

Rex doesn’t allow Adair to eat snacks out of the psychological shadow brought by Adair’s indigestion
last time. He is particularly afraid that Adair would get sick again if he doesn’t take good care of him,
plus that snacks are innutritious, so it is better to prohibit him to eat them.

“I bought you fruits. Fruits have a better taste than snacks.”

Adair pouts, “But I want to eat chocolate donuts and strawberry pudding."

“It’s unhealthy to have too much dessert.” Rarely, this time, Lily holds the same stance with Rex.
Although deep in heart, she doesn’t want to admit it, she can’t help but blurt out, “We have snacks at
home, but you still want to stay here.”

Adair puts his index fingers together, “If mummy allows me to have snacks, then I can go with you.”

Lily and Rex are quite speechless upon hearing the words…

All right. Rex’s happiness is so short!

Good son, you abandon your dad for the sake of the snacks, hahaha.

Lily suddenly feels that it was ridiculous that she would be jealous of Rex because of Adair’s choice. It
turns out that this little child is not that adamant in his decision; he can be easily bribed!



Lily coughs, “Well, you can eat them, but not now. Mummy will buy them for you later.”

“Really?” A trace of delight flashes across Adair’s eyes. If one doesn’t know what has happened, he
would think that Adair has gotten a precious treasure.

Lily nods, “Yes. If you eat too much dessert, you will have tooth decay and lose your teeth. You want
your teeth to be black and decayed?”

Adair is frightened and vigorously shakes his head, “No.”

“Then you should be obedient.”

“I’m always obedient.” Adair pouts. Although he is a bit unhappy, he doesn’t act waywardly nor require
more.

After drinking the soup, Lily hesitates for a while, not knowing how to tell Rex that she wants to leave. It
is not that she doesn’t know how to initiate the conversation. If the situation is as the same as it was
before, she would leave without informing him.

But now, Adair wants to stay here, and he keeps making concession, if she insists on taking Adair
away, it would be like that she herself is the villain.

Lily ponders for a long while. Taking the opportunity that Adair is going upstairs to take his toy, she
leads Rex to the living room, “I’ll take Adair back.”

“Back to where?”

Rex raises his eyebrows. Luckily, she didn’t say that she wants to go to Ryan’s house; otherwise, she
would tie her to the bed, forbidding her from going anywhere.

“Didn’t you say that Adair wants to stay here? Why are you in such a hurry?”



Lily bites her lips and hesitates, “He’s left us so long, therefore he should come back. He can’t stay
here forever. Adair is having some sorts of curiosity; it will better after several days.”

“Did he tell you this? Or is it just your conjecture?” His questions choke Lily, “Don’t surmise what Adair
is thinking with your way of thinking. Now that it is not that difficult to respect his choice, why not stay
here?”

"But…"

Originally, Rex wants to force her to stay, but when thinking of what she has said in the hospital, he
spits out, “You rarely come here. Let’s go upstairs and have a look.”

"I..." Lily wants to say something else, but Rex has turned around and walked into the bathroom on the
first floor.

Having no other choices, Lily can just follow his words and goes upstairs. Originally, she didn’t think too
much about it and just thought that as long as she follows his words, he will allow her to leave. But
when she sets foot on the second floor, she’s completely dumbfounded.

Everything, including the carpet in the corridor, the wall lamp, the design of the ceiling, and the door of
the room in the middle, is as the same as it was five years ago.

Lily’s heart throbs. It seems that her feet are bound with two heavy stones; therefore it takes her great
efforts to reach the master bedroom. The door is unlatched and Fanny is doing some cleaning in the
bedroom. She gently pushes opened the door and looks around.

Everything remains as the same as it was five years ago. Even her skin care products are on the same
positions on the dressing table. If one doesn’t know in advance that she has left for five years, he would
think that a woman has been living in this bedroom.



The white curtains, the dark bed sheets, the single sofas aside, as well as two pillows of the same
design on the bed, all remain unchanged. For countless days and nights, they had slept together on
this bed and in this room.

Seeing the scene, Lily raises her hand to cover her mouth, fearing that she would cry out. Tears then
well up in her eyes and she’s blurred by them. She’s too excited to control her emotions.

Fanny, who stands aside and witnesses the scene, feels distressed for Lily. Putting aside the huge
difference of their identities, she walks over and gently pats her back, comforting, “I stayed here for
several months after your accident, and then Mr. Rex asked me to leave. I had witnessed part of his
dark days. Although it may be inappropriate to tell you about this, I want to let you know that Mr. Rex
loves you so much. After the accident, he went to the riverside every day and stayed there all day long.
When he came back in the evening, he was completely drunk, but I heard him calling your name
several times.”

Fanny, being sentimental at such an age, begins to shed tears when talking about this, “At that time,
many people came to persuade Mr. Rex to move to the other villa, fearing that he might have mental
problems. But Mr. Rex insisted on staying here. He said he was afraid that if you came back one day,
you couldn’t find him. He even forbade us to throw away your things, and said that you’ll come back
one day so these things were useful…”
