Chapter 211: Is She That Good?

The mere drowsiness left under Rex’s eyes is also drifted away. He stares at the woman whose eyes
are closed and sleeps soundly. There is no tenderness in his eyes but only endless repulsion and
resistance.

Compressing the anger that slowly ignites in the chest and trying to calm down, he uses a lofty tone to
call her, “Marina.”

The latter still closes her eyes and sleeps as though nobody has called her out.

However, the slightly trembling eyelashes betray her. Even though it is subtle, Rex still can seize it.

He inhales deeply for fear that he will lose his temper, “Marina, I know you’re awake.”

His sentence is meant to give her a chance. However, at this moment, Marina who is pretending to be
asleep, even though she could not see his expression, just listening to his deep tone is enough for her
to tremble with fear.

After mentally prepared for a while, finally, she slowly opens her eyes.

Under the dim light of the bedroom, she is lying while he sits. Even if the bed is big, the distance is still
limited. Marina raises her head to look at the man beside her. She has never been this close to Rex, let
alone sleeping on a bed. Even though it is only for a moment, her heart beats excitedly fast.

“Rex….” She deliberately calls him with a pinched throat, which surprisingly sounds warm at late night.

In an instant, the bedroom is filled with bright light. Marina raises her hand to block it as if she is hit by
the dazzling light. She adjusts for a while before putting it down.

She barely wears very thin pajamas with lace style, meaning to show her heart, very bold.



Rex’s face is completely stiff; the sharpness of his eyes seems to shoot a sharp ice blade out, “Why are
you here.”

One of her hands grabs the pajamas on her chest, forming a posture of self-protection as if she is the
one who has been scared, “I, I keep on having nightmares and I don’t want to disturb your sleep, so I
secretly come in…..”

After it, her eyes turn red, “Rex, I dream of the scene of my parents’ car accident. It is very real and
vivid, just like it happened again in front of my eyes. I’m scared, especially of dad’s expression, I’m
really scared….”

Rex looks at the mist that fills her eyes; he is calmer than he thought. He is so calm that it even scares
himself, he can even reply her word, “Marina, you can call me if you’re scared, but don’t secretly come
into my room; this is not your place.”

His sentences successfully penetrate Marina’s heart. He can always guess out what she cares most,
and she knows that this man is using this method to push her away.

However, her feelings for him could not retreat from long ago: only death can push her away.

He looks down at the woman who sits in the middle of the bed, his tone uneasy, “You keep on
dreaming your parents for these years. I know that you’re hurt, but everything is in the past, don’t think
too much….”

Rex has discovered that something is wrong with Marina. She frequently mentions her deceased
parents. Every time she uncovers the scar, he is too painful that it makes him unable to confront it.
However, as a daughter, she does not seem to care as much as she said.

Once Marina listens to it, she becomes frightened and quickly gets out of bed, “Sorry, Rex. I don’t know
you’ll mind it so much.”



“Of course I do.” Rex’s sharp eyes fall on her, analyzing every inch of her expression like an X-ray, “I
treat you as my sister, but now, you slip into my bed, and do you think it’s appropriate?”

Marina fakes a smile while loosening her hand, “I just wanted to sleep, I didn’t do anything!”

After it, as if thinking of something, she asks, “Or, are you afraid that Lily will be upset, she doesn’t want
me to touch her stuff, even if it is just a bed?”

“Marina!” Once he heard it, Rex’s voice is deeper than before, “If you are sensible enough, you should
call her your sister-in-law.”

Marina seems to be frightened by this sentence, her footstep shivers, almost stand unsteadily, “You,
what did you say?”

Rex does not repeat it, but says in a reviewing posture, “I know you understand.”

Everything he says is incomparably clear in her heart. However, she is unwilling to face such reality
and results. Thus, she keeps on dodge and flees away, she even cheats to herself.

Rex had expressed his attitude to her before. However, she still refuses to give up. He is aware of her
obsession with him. But due to her constitution, he does not say much, afraid of irritating her.

However, the action of secretly sleeping on his bed tonight is indeed too much, unacceptable.

“Rex, I, I don’t know you’ll really mind. If I know it, I definitely won’t do it.” Little did Marina expect that
he will speak everything out, which makes her panic for a while. She is afraid of paying a double
penalty, since not only did she not get benefits, but also makes him hating her.

“Your condition is basically not good, I shouldn’t have said it, but I still hope you understand that I only
have affection for you as a sibling and nothing else. As for Lily, I’ve believed to spend the rest of my life



with her, you don’t have to fight with her. Your existence is different from hers, and there’ll be no
change.”

His sentence undoubtedly has knocked Marina down at one stroke; there is even no more room for
fantasy.

She bites her lips, her vision falls on the light gray sheet, “Is she that good that worth all you have?”

Rex nods almost without hesitation, “Yes.”

Marina smiles miserably as if the whole world has abandoned her, “Rex, you said that you’ll stay with
me for the whole life, you’ve promised my parents to take care of me. In the end, you still break the
promise.”

“As long as I’m here, I will take care of you.” Rex also firmly tells her, “But our relationship will only be
like this.”

“Rex….” Marina stares at him with her widened eyes, having no idea what to say.

“Marina, don’t bother me. If you continue, I can only send you away from me, don’t push me, huh?”

This sentence undoubtedly is what Marina fears most to hear. She never expects that one day, Rex will
say it to her.

And these negative emotions are all fastened on Lily as if she has blocked their love.

Lily, Lily, Lily!

Everything is because of that bitch!



Without waiting for her to mediate her emotion, Rex has already warned her to leave. He walks to the
door of the bedroom and pushes the door open a bit, reminding her coldly, “Leave now.”

Even though she is unwilling, Marina still has to leave and she walks slowly to the door. The moment
she passes him, she still asks him in persistence, “Rex, is she that good?”

She is so good that he can overcome the wounds in his heart. He changed his attitude towards her,
and got over the sorrow of losing her parents and learn to be sensible. It all is not that he has been
devoid of gratitude but that he got endurance and matureness. Such changes make Marina starts to be
afraid.

His affection to her parents is the best bid she has. If he becomes too rational, this card is
meaningless.

Rex takes a little effort to open the door in front of her. Just when Marina is waiting for his answer, his
cold voice comes into her ear, “It’s none of your business whether she’s good or not.”
