Let's Get Married novel Chapter 380

“Tomorrow night?” It is so sudden and Lily is unsettled.

It is almost morning which meant that he wants her to state it clearly with Rex and therefore he picked such an event for this.

To be his partner for this event, regardless of the motives and reasons for Ryan in doing so, whether to help her or otherwise, Rex will erupt.

Lily starts to worry, “I just want to discuss clearly the matters concerning the child and don’t intend to antagonize him.”

“You’re scared?”

“No!” Lily didn’t think twice and answers as if her tail was stomped upon. She seems agitated and realizes that she is too sensitive. She calms down and says, “I just don’t want any more involvement with him.”

It is as if Ryan has heard a joke, he looks at her patiently and says, “You are fighting for custody of the child and that already infuriated him, what difference does a little more or less make?”

What he says stumps her. This is indeed true. What she is doing is what Rex hates the most. That will not change regardless of the methods used.

This…

When she thinks about Ryan and Rex meeting, with her wedged in between, Lily is extremely nervous. When they were in England, both of them can fight at the hospital. Things will be even more volatile in J City.

Her worry and thoughts are written on her face, how could an intelligent man like Ryan miss this? He reassures her, “Rest assured, I will control myself since there are other people present.”

“… are you certain that it can be properly discussed in this manner?”

“No.” Ryan laughs casually and as if he didn’t care. But those serious-looking eyes didn’t seem to be joking, “Only in this manner will Rex take it seriously.”

The woman whom he loves and his child standing by another man’s side, not to mention Rex, any other man wouldn’t be able to endure it. But only then will he deal with the issue properly.

Lily understands his reasons and shifts her attention to Adair who is asleep. When she thought about what happened these few days, her hands tightened and she decides, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

She doesn’t know if this is a good method but as a mother, she doesn’t want to see anyone attempt to harm her child, absolutely no one.

…

Time passes quickly and it is night time. Considering what had happened, Lily isn’t comfortable with Adair staying at home alone and asks Bree to come over to take care of him.

Ryan is afraid of making things difficult for her and went to the car to wait for her. Lily spends twenty minutes instructing Bree and then enters the car and softly says, “Let’s go.”

He looks at her and says, “So anxious? I didn’t hasten you.”

“I didn’t want you to wait for too long.” Lily knows that he doesn’t wait for anyone. Though she is an exception, she still has to be self-conscious.

They arrive at a very private makeover studio and there are several custom-made gowns and accessories. Lily is captivated with a gold-trimmed fishtail evening gown.

“This… will it be too eye-catching?”

Lily notices that he didn’t speak and thinks that it didn’t look good. She nervously strokes her elbow and asks, “Why, doesn’t it look good?”

“Nice.” He says without thinking and hurries to his feet. He picks a water drop shaped diamond necklace and walks towards her.

The peppermint smell drifts from the man to her nose. Lily looks at him as he walks towards her back and puts on the necklace on her exposed neck. The necklace makes the neck look more slender, and she looks like a proud white swan.

Lily can see his expression from the mirror. He stares directly at her chest, this guy… at least have some dignity.

She clears her throat and turns to break his stare, “Shall we?”

Ryan smirks, doesn’t say a word, and walks to the front.

She looks at the broad frame of the man’s back and then at the street beyond the transparent glass door. A thought comes over her mind.

He deserves better than this.

He shouldn’t be involved with her and Adair. This man has the means and deserves to have a better person than her. He shouldn’t be troubled by her problems.

“Miss Lily?” Someone beside her calls out.

Lily is distracted until she hears someone call out to her before she comes to her senses. She smiles slightly and walks out after the man.
