Let's Get Married novel Chapter 198

“Rex….” Lily is moved and does not know what to say. Her eyes redden with the bright sting of his eyes.

“Good girl, don’t be sad.” He reaches out and takes the meal box on her lap, “It’ll be cold in a while, let’s go inside and eat it?”

Lily holds back her tears, “Okay.”

The two enter the villa one after another. It is only eight o’clock, which is not too late. Marina usually is staying upstairs at this time. However, she is sitting in the living room and watching TV right now.

Fanny is busy working alone in the dining room, she does not accompany her.

Hearing the movement, Marina looks over and sees that the two come back together. Her eyes darken a little, but she still steps forward warmly, “Rex, you’re back.”

After she finished, she looks at Lily and says politely yet perfunctorily, “You too, Lily.”

“Yes.” Lily is not in a good mood and does not want to talk more, then looks at Fanny who is walking over, “Fanny, I’m afraid I still have to trouble you for heating the dumplings at this hour.”

Fanny smiles and quickly waves her hand, then takes over the meal box in Rex’s hand and rushes to the kitchen to use the microwave again.

Marina digs her nail into her flesh and deliberately asks curiously, “Who made the dumplings?”

“My parents.” Lily changes her shoes and casually replies her, “You can try it later.”

Sure enough, Marina restrains her attitude and agrees, “Okay. I haven’t eaten dumplings since I’m back; I almost forgot what it tastes like.”

Lily presses her eyebrows together without leaving any space. She seems a little upset but does not say anything. It is only a few dumplings. No matter what she thought, there is no need to talk about it.

“How are you feeling today?” Rex asks her while pulling off his tie.

Marina turns her head to meet his gaze and smiles as sweet as honey, “I’m good. Only a little dizzy in the morning, nothing else.”

“Karl will bring someone to do your overall check-up tomorrow night. You should prepare in advance, don’t eat too much.” Karl reminds him this afternoon that the half-month check should also be done.

Marina nods, “I know, Rex. Go up and change your clothes first.”

Rex then holds on Lily to go upstairs. When they step forward, Marina leaves for the kitchen. The dumplings do not take long to cook. They only need to heat up. Fanny moves the dumplings from the meal box to the plate, as well as dips it in the vinegar sauce.

Marina rarely assists somebody. She takes out two pairs of chopsticks and looks at the two plates of white yet fat dumplings on the table. She turns her eyes to look upstairs. Without waiting for them, she clamps it and puts it in her mouth. It has to be said that the fragrance of the carrot and the thickness of the meat are intertwined. Only one bite and the fragrance will linger inside the mouth.

She is unforeseen that Lily’s parents have this ability. No wonder she takes the initiative to bring it to Rex.

Followed by the second, the third…. In a blink of an eye, a plate of dumplings has perished for more than half.

When Fanny cleans up the kitchen and sees it, she is almost stunned. She wants to remind her, but thinking of her identity, it is not easy to say anything but only endures it.

When Lily and Rex come downstairs, the dumplings on the plate in the dining table that are supposed to be pleasing at this time have scattered apart, apparently left over by others.

The original initiator is sitting behind the table and has not left yet. She is drinking the hot water in the cup leisurely.

Seeing her coming down, she even says with very thick skin, “Lily, your parents’ cooking is very good. This is one of the best dumplings I have ever eaten.”

Fanny takes it over and spontaneously places it separately. In fact, the dumplings itself is enough to put in a plate. However, they are not put together, for fear that the awkwardness will happen again.

“Lily, don’t be angry, just have pity on her!” Fanny whispers in her ear. Actually, her heart is also fighting for her justice. Marina is indeed too much. Usually, they will forget it. However, her action just now is extremely frightening.

Lily slightly smiles and pats Fanny in the shoulders to soothe her, “I’m fine.”

After leaving the kitchen, Marina is still sitting on the chair and is chatting with Rex about the medical check-up tomorrow. When she sees her coming, her eyes fall on the fluffy dumplings on the plate. Her eyes flicker but say nothing.

Rex looks at the hot steam coming from the plate, which makes his heart warm. He then clamps one and puts it in his mouth. The aroma is flowing all over the place, even his teeth could not help but chew for a few more times.

He is used to eat exquisite dishes outside. Sometimes he will also miss the kind if heart-warming family meal. However, he is used to live alone; no one has done it for a long time.

“Is it delicious?” Lily asks him with a smile.

The man nods and makes a compliment purely from his heart, “Very delicious.”

“If you like it, wait till the new year and I’ll let my mom wrap it for you again. She can make any stuffing; she is the best at this.” Learning that he likes it, Lily is also happy and could not help but brag.

Marina who is one the side is a little nervous by hearing it. New year? Could it be that she still thinks of inviting her family to come here for the Chinese New Year?

However, the next second, Rex’s answer makes her upset. He nods and agrees, “Okay.”

Marina’s hands that are resting under the table clench deadly. The moment she lowers her head, the hatred is bursting out of her eyes, which can make people tremble with fear. She absolutely will not let that day happen, definitely!
