Chapter 200 Invisible Tenderness

After sending Karl off, Rex returns to the bedroom. It is almost nearly daybreak. He gently pushes open
the door. On the big yet soft mattress, the woman is sleeping soundly on the side.

He walks over quietly, each of the footsteps are very light, for fear of disturbing her from her dream.

Upon walking in front of her, he unexpectedly smells a slight alcohol scent.

The man’s dashing eyebrow presses together a little bit and leans forward to smell for a few times. It is
indeed excluded from her body.

Did she drink at the dinner tonight?

Thinking that it is hard to resist her friendly colleagues, he cannot blame her.

Rex looks down at the white little face on the pillow. Wondering whether it is because the room is too
hot, or the alcohol’s side effect, there is a faint of captivating blush.

After raising her hand to cover the quilt on her body, he straightens up and when he is about to take a
shower, the petite woman in her sleep curse silently out of sudden, “Asshole.”

Rex pauses his footsteps violently and turns around in puzzlement, “What?”

“Asshole.” Lily is still sleeping and stutters vaguely, “Rex is an asshole…..”

“…” The old man’s face that is being called is a little dark. It is said that what you think in the day will
appear in your dream. It seems that during the day, she has cursed him a lot in her heart.

After inhales deeply, he pinches her cheek a little helplessly, trying to punish her but without much
effort, “The asshole cares about you so much, huh? Are you blind?”



He knows that by seeing him with Marina, she will definitely be unhappy. There is indeed nothing that
makes her happy lately. If she wants to curse, then let her curse. As long as he can bear it, as long as
she does not restrain it inside, it is fine.

Under the soft lamp in the bedroom, the man’s eyebrows are overwhelmed with the tenderness that no
one else could see. He leans down again; his thin lip gently touches her smooth forehead, “As long as
you don’t leave this asshole, everything's up to you.”

…

Waking up early in the morning of the next day, Lily hardly has a day off. She is granted two days off
before the New Year as compensation. Thinking that the New Year couplets she bought last time have
not plastered yet, she chooses today.

Things that should be done are always needed to be done.

Sitting up from the bed, the position beside her is empty. Rex has gotten up earlier to the gym and then
goes to the company. She barely hears the rustling sound.

Looking at the empty side, her heart is haunted by a trace of disappointment. When she came back last
night, they had not had time to say a word, and he left again.

After warming up for a while, Lily clamps down and washes up. She goes to the dressing room and
changes into a comfortable furry sweater and the same type of pants. Today, she might have to climb
up a lot. Thus, wearing a casual one will be much better.

When she goes downstairs, Fanny has already prepared breakfast for her to eat. Realizing that Lily
likes toast, she deliberately learns how to use the toaster.

A crisp duck toast and a spoonful of homemade blueberry jam, it is really appetizing and delicious.



Marina looks at it greedily. However, the doctor tells her not to consume too much sweet. Thus, she
can only eat the white congee that has not much appetite just by looking at it.

She scoops a spoonful of porridge to her mouth and spontaneously says, “Lily, I really envied you. You
can eat what you like. Unlike me, I can only eat porridge. There is no fun in my life.”

Lily is unforeseen that she will take an initiative to talk to her, and does not know what her purpose is,
pretending to be pitiful? Or be sympathy?

Lily does not think about it and says faintly, “People like you, I believe they will find a lot of fun for
themselves, not only in the food aspect.”

After speaking, she smiles at Marina. There is nothing strange between her eyebrows and eyes
although this sentence does not sound so comfortable.

Marina finds it hard to answer her. Thus, she does continue to say anything and only agrees with it.

After breakfast, Lily and Fanny partnered up to bring the triangular ladder out from the warehouse. She
picks a large pair of couplets and hangs them up. Fanny holds her underneath and keeps telling her to
be careful again and again.

“Lily, you have good taste. Both couplets and lanterns are very good!” Fanny is also burst with joy. She
used to plaster these things back at home. Thus, she is familiar with it.

Lily smiles embarrassedly, “I bought it on the market, it not rare.”

“It’s what you said, but you’re very attentive. Rex will be very happy to see it when he’s back!” After
working with Rex for quite some time, she has understood his temperament. Even though Rex looks
cold, he is actually very decent.



This sentence happens to be heard by Marina who has just come over. She frowns and secretly glares
at Fanny. As a maid, this old bastard talked too much. When she becomes the hostess, she’ll be first to
fire her!

Despite all the curses in her heart, Marina scans the result and says perfunctorily, “It’s pretty good.”

After that, she changes the subject, “But… Rex does not like these messy things to be plastered at
home. Better not too much, or you’ll waste your time, Lily.”

She thinks that Lily makes this by herself. But little did she know that she had told Rex long ago.

At this moment, when she hears the seeming warmth yet sarcasm tone, her face also darkens. She
does not say directly that Rex has agreed but deliberately says, “It doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t like it,
I’ll tear it off. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Her sentence eliminates Marina directly. Whether likes it or not, it is her problem with Rex. She does
not need an outsider to involve in.

Why can’t Marina hear it?

She immediately retorts, “Lily, do you hostile me? I’m just afraid that you’ll waste your time, I have no
other meaning.”

“Really?” Lily’s vision sweeps toward her. There is a lot of chill in it, “Then thank you, I got it.”

After finishing her speech, she does not look at Marina any longer and turns around to continue her
own business. From time to time, she also asks Fanny’s opinion, completely leaving her aside as a
transparent person.



Marina is mad. After entering the house, she picks up the phone, intending to call Rex. Her finger rises
and falls on the phone number but still cannot press on it. After struggling for a long time, she gives up.

Now, Rex is fascinated by this woman blindly and does not really speak to her.

Thinking about it, the phone in her hand vibrates at the same time. She thinks that it is Rex. When she
looks at it in surprise, she learns that it is Maxx.

The joy on her face freezes instantly. Marina looks around and walks to the house slowly before picking
it up, “Hello, Maxx?”

She deliberately whispers in surprise, “Now you think of calling me.”

At the end of the phone, the man pauses for a moment. There is slightly an exhale voice as if being
thankful that he does not disturb her. After considering again and again, he asks carefully, “Are you
doing well?”

Marina is basically using Maxx. At this moment, when she hears him asking this way, it is inevitable for
her heart to shake. Thinking of her unsmooth days lately, she deliberately squeezes her throat, “I don’t
know whether it’s good or not, but I occasionally miss North Villa. I feel like a third wheeler here, I might
as well….”

Speaking of which, she pauses for two seconds and grits her teeth to say the rest, “I might as well live
in North Villa as before, and you’ll not trouble me.”
