Let's Get Married Chapter 448: Meeting the Parents Together

Adonis is stunned momentarily before replying faintly, “Oh, it’s you, Belinda. What’s the matter? You’re
calling me at a late hour.”

“Sorry for calling you about this, but I’m calling about Rex and Vivian’s relationship. It seems like
something has happened today, Vivian has been down since a while ago, and she told me that she has
gotten into a quarrel with Rex. But I couldn’t pry anything more from her, so I want to ask you to pass
on the word to Rex so that everybody can sit down and have a talk. What do you think about this?”
Belinda says carefully so that Adonis will not be offended.

In fact, since Rex has revealed that he has a child now with Lily, their parents have been intentionally
distancing themselves from Vivian and her family. They had been ignorant back then, but now that they
have learnt of this undisputable fact, they don’t want more people to get themselves involved
unnecessarily.

Therefore, when he hears her bringing this up, he can’t help but knit his eyebrows, “Belinda, we don’t
really have a say in our children’s affairs. You know very well of Rex’s temper, he’s so stubborn that
nobody will be able to reach him with words. Even if we want to talk this through with them, but our
efforts will be in vain if our children don’t want to cooperate.”

Belinda immediately understands that their family is not planning to intervene in their children’s affairs
anymore, so she sounds a little upset since Rex has been unreasonable, “Mr. Adonis, Vivian has been
together with Rex for almost three years, and she is obviously a decent person. But now that you’re
planning to let our children decide for themselves without watching over them, I think you’re being a
little irresponsible here.”

“We can’t force certain things and expect to have good outcome. I have made my decisions after
understanding this fact.” Although Adonis is already in his twilight years, he is no fool. He uses her
words against her, “It’s not that I don’t intend to bring them together, it’s just that they don’t seem to suit



each other. My words won’t have any power since they are the ones who are going to live out their life
in the future, so they have to choose what’s best for them. We’re not going to live their lives in their
places anyway.”

Belinda knows fully well what he is trying to say, but she can’t back off know thinking of how dejected
Vivian was, “Mr. Adonis, I still think we have to think through this carefully, since they have been
together for a long time…”

“Belinda, I can’t really agree with you on that. Besides Vivian, Rex has contributed a lot in their
relationship too. They are both excellent and independent children, and they would be the centres of
attraction no matter where they are. We can’t make things worse for them and affect their future.”

He is not just merely declaring his stance, but he’s also warning her not to go too far.

Belinda can discern his unhappy tone, so even though she still has some objections, she doesn’t dare
to go up against Adonis head on like this. She can only swallow her disappointment, “Alright, let me
persuade Vivian to change her mind. Please help me to pass on some words to Rex too. They’re all
adults now, they should face their problems head on and solve them instead of running away.”

Vivian who is eavesdropping on her mother while standing still beyond the stairs know that she has lost
all hope after hearing her mother’s conclusion.

She won’t be able to see Rex ever again.

When she thinks of this, her resentment that she has barely suppressed threatens to overwhelm her
once again.

Before Belinda can return upstairs, a huge bang that reverberates through the whole house
immediately breaks the silence.



Belinda is worried about her mental state, so she struts upstairs and knocks on her door ceaselessly,
“Vivian, stop closing yourself up, please tell me if you have anything on your mind.”

“Get lost, leave me alone for a while!” Vivian howls while sweeping everything on her table to the
ground. She grits her teeth and vows to use any means necessary to achieve her goals, since her
words were never being taken seriously previously.

…

Since Lily has decided to stay, Rex immediately brings her to the police station the next day to reinstate
her identity and nationality. Because of the long processing time in between, she needs to be there
personally to fill in her details.

When they enter the police station, the head of department, Mr. Ahern, who has personally cancelled
her identity five years ago, comes out to welcome them. Ahern greets Rex briefly before engaging Lily.

He has been updating and following her case from back then, so he is familiar with Lily to a certain
degree.

“Lily, it has been so long, finally we meet again after five years. It is nice to meet you!”

Lily smiles while replying, “Thank you, I am going to trouble you once again after troubling you back
then.”

Her light banter has improved the mood a lot since her case is a sensitive one for Ahern. He feels
slightly at ease after hearing her reply.

“You can’t say that, I have been wishing for your return more than anybody.” Ahern leads both of them
into his office while instructing his subordinates to prepare their files neatly in advance. “You just need
to fill in these forms, and they will be approved tomorrow if there isn’t a hitch.”



“Alright, thanks for your hard work.” Lily takes a black ballpoint pen and starts to fill in the forms. She
has been filling in all sorts of information, some of which repeat themselves while others don’t. When it
comes to writing a statement that requires her to disclose her purpose of applying for her identity
reinstatement, she finds herself unable to stop her pen while writing up a storm in a space on the
paper. Despite that, she feels good while doing this.

This action provides her with a sense of security and reassurance. It feels like she finally can stay here
legally and officially.

Her name, her background and everything she ever had has been bestowed to her by this city. She has
far more memorable moments than bad memories staying here. During her time in the United Kingdom
that spans those five years, she was known as Lydia instead, which was a name that she had bought
from Ryan. She knew nothing about Lydia’s past at all except for those five years when she was living
out her life as Lydia. Therefore, she will never grow attached to that name no matter how much time
has elapsed, since Lydia was never her in the first place.

She has returned at the moment, and she feels alive more than ever, especially when she is filling the
details about her background and origin.

After completing the procedure, an employee hastily submits her application. The head of department
wants to have a meal with them but he is rejected by Rex.

“I have some errands to attend to later, I’ll treat you to a meal next time.” Rex extends his hand
apologetically and his image now is a far cry from how he usually is at home. He is very domineering
now.

Lily watches him quietly from the side while recalling Rex from five years ago who was equally eye-
catching. His charisma causes anybody to submit to him unconsciously.



Rex is a born leader and he is equipped with qualities a successful entrepreneur should have.

After leaving the police station, Rex doesn’t head back home but drives in the opposite direction.

Lily gets a glimpse of the scenery outside her window and asks him, “Aren’t we going back now? Do
you have something to do?”

“I’m going to the old mansion now.” He shoots a glance from the corner of his eyes before focusing on
the road again, “I didn’t tell you just now so that you won’t get nervous. I’ve prepared everything
necessary and they are in the boot.”

Lily is slightly stunned but she suddenly understands the reason Fraser didn’t drive earlier today.
Apparently, he’s there to deliver some things.

At the thought of Rex’s grandparents, Lily starts to fidget around nervously, “What, what should I do or
say when I am there later?”

Rex smiles and holds her hand to comfort her, “You can say anything you want.”

“How is that possible? They never liked me from the beginning, if I say something dumb…” Lily bites
her lips while contemplating about how to navigate this situation. She is concerned about his
grandparents’ attitude towards her as well as the incident surrounding Adair last time. She is afraid that
they would be awkward because of what happened last time.

She doesn’t plan to reveal her thoughts to Rex so that she won’t put him in a difficult position, but she
is being tortured by such emotions swirling inside her.

Rex can see through what she is thinking, so he wants to reassure her that he has make sure
everything is in order, “I have called them yesterday night, so you don’t have to worry about anything at
all. They won’t treat you bad.”



Although it is more like his grandparents are warming up to her because of their feelings for Adair, but
Rex can’t deny that Adair’s presence has immensely helped with their relationship with Lily. In the end,
as long as the outcome is favourable, he is willing to do anything.

As for everything else, he is confident that they will work things out in the future.
