Chapter 256: Soft-hearted

“….Lily?” He calls her name in disbelief.

Lily also feels her heartthrob; she does not understand the meaning of him tormenting himself again
and again. If it is not that she happens to return late today, did he plan to stay here all night in complete
secrecy?

“Why didn’t you go home?” Her voice blows in his ears along with the night breeze, gently yet cooling.

Rex feels a sudden pain in his heart by her question, “Nobody is in the house, why should I go home.”

She is gone, and the Villa becomes lifeless. When he returns home, he faces a cold and lonely room.
Everything seems to be back at the time when he had not known her.

Loneliness, lonesomeness… And he has nowhere to resolve them. This lukewarm feeling is driving him
crazy.

He raises his hand that is holding the cigarette and puts it in his mouth then takes a deep breath, hiding
his trembling fingertips, “Can you just come back?”

He is not asking her, it is more like begging.

Lily has always sealed all the tolerance and emotion towards him in her heart. At this moment, seeing
such a ruined appearance of him, those emotions hit the wall of her heart like the sea water surges with
the tide, coming out little by little.

“Rex, it’s not that I don’t want to go back, you know I love you in my heart, I know you love me too. But
with these things, how much trust is left between us? With Marina’s existence, I can’t stop the
suspicion. If there is suspicion, there will be a gap. I don’t want this but I can’t control it.” Women are
generally like this to their beloved man, more craziness and less rationality.



“You can be suspicious, I won’t complain.” He smokes with anxiety and fierceness, desperately
suppressing his agitated emotion.

“It’s easy to say but difficult to do. I’ve learned from my previous mistake.” Speaking of which, Lily
pauses and takes half-step closer to him so that he could hear her words clearly, “Marina’s falling into
the pool was caused by herself, not me. You doubted me about this matter and I kept silent not
because I didn’t want to justify myself, but because I was disappointed. I was completely disappointed
that I didn’t want to explain anything.”

She says with a wry smile and shakes her head, “Even if I say it now, you won’t believe too….”

“I believe!” The man’s voice is anxious. He is not chiming with her, “Suspecting you is my fault. I didn’t
have time to think in the crisis moment at that time. Whether you believe it or not, I keep on standing on
your side from the bottom of my heart.”

Harry’s illness and Marina’s falling into the water are two different things. In the final analysis, what Lily
cares most is that Harry is affected. But Rex does not trust her. Now that he said this, she is indeed
touched.

When he finishes the words, they look at each other calmly. No one speaks; there is nothing to say;
glancing at each other is communicating.

After a while, perhaps because of standing for too long, Lily could not help but shiver. Rex throws the
smoke at his fingertips and turns around to pull the car door, then bends over to take out his coat and
puts it on her shoulders.

Lily raises her hand to block it and slightly closes her eyes, “You wear it.”

He barely wears a shirt, which looks lightly clad.



The simple three words bring great emotional changes to Rex. His dark eyes are filled with tenderness,
“Lily…”

His voice gets hoarser when he is drunk. Perhaps because of the liquor, he is in a daze. Lily opens the
door of the driver seat, “Let’s go, I will send you home.”
