Chapter 226: Lily, Let’s Talk
Rex originally has calculated how many days till Harry recovers. Every day, he lets the doctor report to him about the specific situation. He is looking forward to the day when he is discharged. Until then, he can talk to Lily with peace of mind.
However, by looking forward to it, after waiting for a long time, he gets the news of Lily’s leaving instead of Harry's recovering.
At this moment, he is on the way to the company from the hospital. After learning that Lily has left, he immediately heads towards the Villa.
With the burning anxiety, he steps the throttle to the end for fear that one step later will cause an accident. He drives fast and makes many violations along the way. He arrives there before Lily’s leaving.
He stays still in the car, watching her walk into the entrance of the Villa. One step, two steps, each step is firm and steady, the calm expression on her face makes him panic.
Rex perishes the cigarette and pulls the door open, letting this cold wind in. He barely wears a thin shirt and blazer but as if he could not feel the cold, he walks towards the delicate figure in a breath.
Obviously, Lily notices his movements as well. However, she does not show any attention and still walks towards the door indifferently.
Rex grabs her when she opens the password door. There is a rush of anger between his eyebrows. This is the key point whether it will be a good talk or an outbreak.
Both of them are tense. If it is necessary to choose the most powerful one, it should be Rex.
Lily looks at her palm that is held by him. She could feel his warmth through this small contact, which makes her heart races. She suppresses her feelings and speaks indifferently, “Don’t touch me.”
Yes, don’t touch her. As soon as he approaches, she will think of the shadow of him holding Marina that day.
Everything, all of the good memories are smashed up by the pool that day.
“Are you going to resign?” The man’s chest is undulated, it can be seen that he is in an excitable state, “Did I ever tell you that without my permission, you’re not allowed to leave?”
“You’ve told me before.” Lily ponders for a second but soon answers him. It’s just that after she said it, she laughs as if it is a joke, and looks up at him ironically, “Did you really think that just because of your word, I’ll stay by your side? You’re wrong. That’s because I’m willing to cooperate, but unfortunately, I’m not willing now.”
Hence, even if she needs to smash her head or twist her body in order to leave, no matter how much she paid, she will still leave.
Rex sees the teasing in her eyes. His heart seems to be severely cut, all blood trickled into his internal organs. Something is changing and losing. He could not help but tighten his hands, suppressing the emotion that is on the brink of losing control, “Let’s talk.”
He repeats again, “Lily, let’s talk.”
“What for?” Lily looks up, there is tear in the corner of her eyes, “Talking about how I pushed Marina, how did she make my dad mad? or about the nonsensical feeling of the three of us?”
“…”
“Rex, stop making a joke. I really can’t bear it anymore. It’s my fault, everything is my fault, okay? It’s me who stick around you guys, I’m wrong. I shouldn’t be by your side. Everything is because of me so that once I leave, everything will come to an end, okay?” Lily finally could not hold back, the tears run
across her cheeks from the corner of her eyes, leaving a transparent wet mark, followed by the second, the third, until the tears mottle her fragile face.
The whimpering sound comes from the depth of her throat, like a kind of sorrow from the bones. Rex who hears it feels that his heart is seized, could not forget every single word she said just now.
She wants to leave.
How come?
She is already part of him. When she is gone, he will not be complete anymore. Thus, she cannot, as long as he is still alive, it is impossible to let her go.
The man lifts his hand to wipe off her tears on her face. He rubs her face a little heavy but his tone is gentle, “Lily, as long as you don’t leave, I will promise you everything, okay?”
Lily does not even hesitate for a second, “No.”
If she hears this word before, she will be touched and overwhelmed. However, now that she hears it, she feels terribly cold and could not help but shiver. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
She is really scared, really wants to end this relationship, at least for now.
Because every time she closes her eyes, she will see Harry fall down, Bree crying on the side, Marina’s evil smile and Rex distrusting herself.
She is frightened. These shadows are not that easy to dissipate.
However, it is her words that break the last tenderness of him, who has been trying to be gentle. With her decisive answer, his eyes darken and a storm is coming.
Rex sneers and grins creepily, “You want to leave me? It depends on whether you have this ability or not!”
Just when Lily does not realize the meaning of this sentence, she is dragged into the house by him. Fanny has long heard their movement at the door but does not dare to intervene. At this moment, upon seeing that Rex becomes impulsive and afraid that Lily will be injured. She comes forward to persuade but is stopped by Rex’s cold eyes, “Move!”
Lily afraid that Fanny will be affected and shakes her head towards her with tears, “Fanny, don’t bother, don’t…”
