Let's Get Married

Chapter 4 He is Rex

Leaving the villa and only taking some luggage, Lily doesn’t have many clothes. Coming in alone and going out alone makes her wish is was a year ago.

As she is wandering the street, she receives a call from her mother but can't bring herself to tell her mother about what happened. After their conversation, she stays in a KFC from noon to night.

Finally, she can't bear it. She calls her friend Abby. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

After Abby picks up the phone, Lily breaks down completely. She cries so much that she can't say a complete sentence. She just repeats, “I'm going to get divorced; I'm going to get divorced.”

After asking where Lily, Abby finds the KFC with the GPS in her phone, and sees Lily sitting alone in the corner. Abby sees Lily in a desperate state and says,

“Lily, I am here.”

They don't talk. Lily cries for a while. After drying her tears, they go back to Abby’s private apartment, a duplex apartment in a prime location.

“Tell me what happened,” Abby says as she gives Lily a glass of hot water.

Lily opens the conversation box and tells her the whole story. Abby sighs a lot, and finally says, “Lily, in retrospect, I am not that surprised.”

Lily doesn't understand, so Abby continues, “When you were married for about 6 months, we went to have dinner. You asked Tim to take me home. He asked for my contact information, but I didn't give it to him. At that time, I was not sure what he meant. I just thought it was a little strange. When you were married, I didn't dare to talk about it.”

Lily is stunned for a moment. It turned out that Tim had been interested in her best friends for a while.

“Lily, I hoped you would divorce with Tim sooner, before it was too later and you were old and miserable” Abby says carelessly but kindly. “Wow, that Susan has an ego. Don’t be afraid to be a little greedy. My father knows people who work at a law firm, I can ask him to help you.”

Will there be a legal battle with Tim Lily thought to herself. Thinking about this makes Lily a little flustered. “I'm afraid I don't have so much money right now. Also, I don’t know if I could face Tim in court now.”

“Lily, don't be silly. Don't give them what they want. You are sad here, but Rex and Jade are happy!” The more Abby thinks about, the angrier she gets, “I'll go inquire about it for you, and then I'll straighten it out for you. Just go to the lawyer directly. I tell you that if you don't think about yourself now you will regret it later.”

……

The next day, under the urging of Abby, Lily goes to her the law firm, located in the most high-end business office building in the city. The firm takes up two whole stories. The most famous lawyers in the city are here. No opposing lawyers would dare enter here because they know what would be in store for them.

Lily is looking for a lawyer named Mr. Smith. The front desk tells her that lawyer will come later, and asks her to wait in the sofa.

While Lily waits, she looks at the pamphlet on the table. After a while, the door next to her opens. Someone comes in from the outside. Then she hears someone say, “Good morning, Mr. Smith.”

After hearing Mr. Smith, Lily looks up, but is frozen when she sees another man.

It is a face she knows very well, because not long ago she had slept with him. The scenes of that night flashes in her mind - the suite in the club, the dark night, the soft bed, and the clothes scattered all over the room. It was Rex.

Why is he here?
