Not long afterward, there is a clatter of water.
Rex is half-lying on the bed, his gaze sweeps across the trash bin not far away. The nightgown that has scrambled by the two of them is left alone now, becoming a piece of trash.
He keeps on thinking about it. After quite some time, he still does not understand which of his sentence is wrong that can make her mad at him.
After thinking for a long time, he finally gives up and picks up the phone directly to call Karl.
Within a few seconds, the phone is picked up by the other party. Karl has no surgery today, he is sitting by the fireplace, warming his hands, “What’s wrong, why did you call me at this time?”
Rex ponders for two seconds before speaking, as if it is difficult to say, “I want to ask you something.”
The movement of Karl flipping back the back of his hand pauses, he raises his brows in surprise, “Say it.”
Rex tells him about what happened just now, especially about what he said. He tells him systematically and in full detail, “Is there anything wrong with what I said?”
Karl could not help but laugh out loud, “Did you not realize it?”
“What’s the problem?”
“First of all, from your point of view, it is really okay. But thinking from Lily’s standpoint, it is a big problem.” Karl has almost become Rex’s advisor, he can subconsciously worry about him, “Look, you only think that all the problem is the pajama. But for Lily, Marina has violated her privacy, she casually wears her things, do you think she can accept it?”
Rex understands what he said, but….
“I don’t think it is that serious as long as there is no more next time?”
Karl feels resentful towards him for failing to meet his expectation, “Yes, there is no more next time. But what about this time?” These are two different things. Besides, Lily does not care about the pajama. What she cares is about your attitude towards Marina. Humans and animals are the same; they have a sense of enclosure. When others invade their own space, a warning is not enough, they must be expelled.”
Therefore, Lily is so determined in facing this matter. She has reached her bottom line. It turns out that she feels that her territory has been invaded.
And this territory does not include only space but also people.
Marina has triggered her crisis awareness. Therefore, she will make such a big reaction.
Even though Rex does not fully understand it, he still listens to what Karl said. In his thirty-two years old, it is easy for him to have a meeting with a group of elites, but he is not good at coaxing a little girl. Thus, he asks for help, “Then what should I do?”
“Actually, you don’t have to do anything. Just do what she said. Don’t try to persuade her. Women are more stubborn than anyone else in this aspect.” After it, Karl still does not rest assure and adds a few words, “If she scolds you, you also have to go along with it, do you get what I mean?”
Rex hums in response, “Hmm.”
After solving his problem, he is ready to hang up the phone, which makes Karl yell at him hastily, “Rex, that little girl is eight years younger than you. You have to be more tolerant and patient to her. If this happens on other women, they would not let Marina live in there.”
At that time, Karl is really surprised after knowing that Lily agreed. He thinks that she will resolutely refuse it. However, unexpectedly, she agrees to make such a sacrifice. After all, it is a concession made for Rex.
Rex stops his movement, his face darkens, and then laughs mockingly, “Do you think I didn’t tolerant her right now?”
Not to mention tolerant, he has almost reached his bottom line to tolerant her.
Karl recalls that he seems to quite spoil Lily, “Yes, yes, I will withdraw my words….”
After staring at each other for a while, Rex’s temper is more intense, but it is not a flame of angry. It is a flame of wanted to be close.
He pulls the back of Lily’s neck, and then raises her chin with the other hand. He then leans down and kisses without any warning, pricking her lip with his flexible tongue. It breaks indirectly yet hardly, just like him.
Lily is caught in his arms. And later, she is pushed back step by step. Her lower waist is pushed against the sink behind her, which makes her bathrobe soaked in wet, and sobers her up.
She unconsciously reaches out and wants to press against the edge of it. However, when she just touches it, her fingers are imprisoned by him.
The cool fingers shackles through the pulse that is beating in her wrist like a sharp dagger, only a movement will spill the blood on the spot.
This is him. Once he takes it seriously, the entire space fills with his strong aura. It is inevitable and there is no escaping.
And Lily can only widen her eyes, passively accepting this sudden alter.
Finally, Rex opens her mouth and slightly bites her lips, making her feel pain gently. Lily groans and when she is about to struggle, he has let her go in advance.
Lily raises her hand to touch his bitten spot. It is crisp, red, and swollen, all of which is left behind by him, “What are you doing!”
Rex does not leave but leans closer to her forehead. In such a distance, he stares at her eyes, then lowers his hoarse voice, giving a magnetism of a mature boyfriend, “What?”
Lily looks at the dazzling light in his eyes, and successes on staying in. At this close distance, even his breath is charming. Her heart beats faster than normal, even the strength of her body is pumped away by this sound.
She cannot hold it anymore…..
