Let's Get Married novel Chapter 427

There isn’t the bustling of people in the restaurant. Under the lighting, the ambiance is like a scene from a fairy tale. There is a faint floral fragrance. The roses are arranged in all kinds of different shapes and forms. The warm and cozy lighting adds to the beautiful scenery.

In the large hall, there are countless confession scrips drifting in the air. God knows when he started to prepare this. Lily stands dazed at the door.

Her heart races and pounds fast. She stands stunned and then walks forward several steps. It is the first time that she is surprised that way. She is shocked. She reaches out to feel the rose petals and they are real, it isn’t a dream.

She is really too surprised, her brain is empty, and she never expects that Rex would at this moment do these for her. From the moment she returned to the country, the two of them were bickering and fighting. But recently he has changed but these came too fast and too sudden. It is totally unexpected.

Even as she was walking in, she was still worried about the kid, and the very next moment, she is greeted with this scene.

She is getting emotional and in front of her is Rex with that dashing smile. He’s such a serious and stern man who did not have a hint of romance five years ago. Five years later he actually does these for her without saying a word.

Her feelings are churning and she can’t calm it down. Her thoughts are drifting away. She sees the staircase leading to the second floor covered with rose petals on the carpet with white spotlights. She walks over directly and carefully up the stairs, trying to avoid the petals.

At the moment she reaches the second floor, a tall figure stands at a corner not far away.

As she looks over, she sees a person in a dark grey business suit with a smart vest and white shirt. The necktie is the one that she gave him five years ago. He has a decorative handkerchief tucked in the breast pocket. The hair isn’t groomed but he exudes the air of a gentleman.

Under the messy hair, his eyes are deep and his nose pointed. His expression is sincere and he purses his lips, revealing slightly his nervousness. In his dark pupils, only her image fills his eyes.

Lily thought that the sea of flowers is already very moving, but at that moment, all these could not compare to the look in his eyes that mesmerized her.

He stands before her and reaches out with both hands.

Lily’s heart is in her throat and her veins throb. Her blood pressure raises to the peak. Even the air is filled with romance.

She unconsciously reaches out to the man’s large hands and is firmly grasped the very next second.

Nervousness, fluster and throbbing… These feelings surge because of his movement.

At the moment when she extends her hands, his pretense of calmness dissipates and is then replaced by his true and raging feelings. He looks at her in his true form intentionally to let her see his true feelings.

She isn’t sure if it’s due to the lighting but even under the light, he became so tender.

He holds her hand and walks forward with the flickering candlelight surrounded by flowers. Even the covers over the lights on the walls are changed so that heart shapes are projected. The balloons are printed with her photo and one is seen every few steps. Even she doesn’t know when and how some of these pictures were taken.

He had revised it for the entire afternoon and was very familiar with it. But at this very moment, he entirely can’t remember. He is nervous, so nervous that he forgets what he wants to say.

He can’t look at the phone and recite, can he?

Rex clenches his hands and musters his courage and speaks from the heart, “At that time, I saw you at the bar when you were selling wine. I didn’t think too much and realized that I was entirely smitten by you. I admit that initially it was due to your body but as time passed, I don’t know how long later, I started to have feelings for you.”

At this point, he starts to smile, “This love came unexpectedly, but it’s a good thing that it’s you who gave me so many surprises. You gave me a new life and the feelings of a normal person. I wasn’t the same as before who only knew how to work till I was exhausted. Over time, I started to have this desire to want to take care of you for life.”

As Lily listens, her eyes well up with tears and she covers her mouth with her hand, fearing that she’ll cry.

“Time will shape a person and with what had happened during this period…” He gently says, his expression is too tense to hide his nervousness. He thinks about the past and his eyes are darkened, “But there is one thing I’m certain that from the beginning, I, Rex Gabbot, only loved one woman, Lily. It isn’t Marina, it isn’t Vivian, and there isn’t anyone else. From the beginning, it was only you. I know that I did a big mistake five years ago. I thought too highly of myself and I didn’t consult you before making my decision. I let you down and also let down the child. All these years I thought that I had lost you. Each day and each minute and second I lived in regret and in your memories.”

What happened five years ago is like a splinter in both of their hearts. If it is not removed, it will only dig deeper and deeper. All those misunderstandings and all those silences were pinned by the splinter in their hearts. Now he wishes to start over and wants to remove this splinter. The process will definitely hurt.

Rex closes his eyes and suppresses the pain in his eyes, “It’s not that I didn’t consider setting you free and let you seek a new life but it is too unbearable to live a day without you. I don’t know how to continue living without you. I didn’t intend to seek your forgiveness and only wish to love and protect you from now on. You… are you willing to give me another chance?”
