Chapter 244: When Wine Is In, True Feeling Is Out
Lily goes upstairs and walks straight to the door of the master bedroom. When she takes a deep breath and pushes open the door, a familiar breath sweeps through her. By calculating it, she has lived here for more than half a year, which is enough for her to get used to everything in here.
Her sight scans around the bedroom, from the bathroom to the sofa, from the sofa to the bedpost and to the balcony. Everywhere is full of memories between them. Whether it is good or bad, it is the secret between them.
And now, reminiscence makes her upset.
Lily quickly turns her eyes aside, for fear that more looks and thoughts will make her reluctant to leave. Although she is fully aware that Marina would bring them endless problems, she still could not stop loving that man.
She turns to the cloakroom and takes the clothes and jewelry she brought here it. She doesn’t pick up things that do not belong to her. There is a white nightgown in the middle. When she quarreled with Marina at that time, Rex had bought exactly another one and hung it there. However, she has never worn it again.
She laughs mockingly. In fact, the skirt is not the problem; the key is that Marina basically has evil intentions.
She puts the clothes and jewelries into the suitcase, just like putting this fail relationship into the bottom of her heart. Lily could not help but redden her eyes, the sourness in her heart makes her upset.
She is not particularly in a rush, so she silently bids farewell with everything in here.
It takes almost an hour for her to pack her belongings. Finally, she takes a deep look at the room. When she is about to leave, the bedroom door is suddenly pulled open from the outside.
Turning her eyes, a familiar black figure jumps into the bottom of her eyes.
Lily’s heart is like being smashed hard with a hammer. She is so surprised that she even takes two steps back. He, how could he come back, isn’t there an important social engagement…
Rex looks at her amazement sight and soon lands on the silver suitcase in her hand. The man’s expression suddenly becomes gloomy. It’s indeed a kind of punishment to bump into such an imposing gaze.
The air in the bedroom condenses in an instant. Within half a minute, Lily’s hands and feet got cold, it is useless to force herself to calm down.
“Re, Rex?” Her trembling voice is enough to see how scared she is.
The man that is standing in front of her finally walks towards her; every step is like stepping on her apex, steady yet heavy. Finally, he stops at the position of two fists from her, “You come home, just to pack things away?”
His voice is very light but it does not make people feel a trace of lightness. All of it is full of seriousness, which pumps Lily’s strength away. She is unable to withstand such terrible gaze and her right hand unconsciously releases the suitcase. The bang sound does not scare him; Instead, it makes her shiver.
“Why are you back?”
“If I’m not back, have you already left?”
They look at each other. The unclear feelings under their eyes mingle with each other. Up until now, Lily finally understands that the emotion in his eyes is not anger but sadness.
Lily is the first one to step aside. When she lowers her head, a faint odor of alcohol drifts into her nasal cavity. Only then, she finds out that this man has drunk tonight.
She could not help but become more flustered, “Did you drink?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Rex says nothing but only looks at her quietly. When he received a call from Fanny tonight, he has dumped the ten-billion cooperation project and leaved capriciously. For the first time in his life, he has made such an irrational decisiont. Not for anything else, he is just afraid that one step later and he will never find her again.
Yet, she does not understand this thing and he will not say it either.
“Lily.” He calls her name in a calm voice and raises his hand to pick her pointed chin. There is a deep pain in his eyes, “Is it necessary to leave me?”
Hearing his question, Lily finally can’t hold her calmness anymore; she shakes her head gently, her dark pupils blink, as if she is trying to blink away the heartbreak in the bottom of her eyes “How can I stay…”
