Chapter 353: Do You Want to Marry Me?

He hates Ryan deeply, but he couldn’t do anything to her. He could only bear it as hard as he could.

“Lily, is it interesting to deceive yourself?” He leaves such a sentence and, then turns away without
waiting for answer or response.

“Bang”, the door is opened and then slammed. The loud noise displays the man’s anger that could not
be concealed.

He leaves anyway.

Lily looks at the direction of Rex’s leaving back, a myriad of thoughts appears in her mind. What she
most concerned is still Adair.

She immediately turns around and asks Ryan, meanwhile releases his hand, “What about Adair?
Where is he now? Will Rex find him?”

“In the headquarters of my company. You don’t have to worry about it. He can’t find it for the moment,
but…” Ryan immediately adds, “I’m afraid that Adair’ identity can’t be hidden.”

Lily opens her mouth in surprise, “Is there other way?”

“Rex is almost sure that Adair is his child now, unless we can give a more reasonable explanation, but
as long as he checks, it is easy to find it out.”

“What should I do? Is he allowed to continue his investigation?” Lily is not afraid of his investigation but
is fearing of a series of issues after that.

“We still have solutions.” Rex has thought a lot on the way to come, and the only best way is to… He
adds, “Unless you are willing to marry me, so that the child has nothing to do with Rex.”



“Wh... what?” It seems that she does not expect that he would say so. Lily is a little stunned, but she
soon recovers.

She is a law major, and she can understand the reason for it after a little thought, but Marriage? She
never thinks about it. Let alone marriage, she even has no confidence to accept a new relationship…

“If you marry me, the child will always be with you. If you are afraid that Adair can’t accept it, I won’t
mind that. You can let him continue to treat me as an uncle. And I will treat him very well. You can trust
me.” Ryan slowly says to her, “Now, if you are a single mother, you can’t win Rex on Adair’s custody.”

Lily twists her eyebrows, and she still has a trace of hope in her mind, “Why? I’ve been taking care of
the child from birth to now. Rex has not participated. Emotionally, it must be me who is more suitable to
raise this child. Besides, Adair is more than four years old, and he must have his own choice...”

“But have you ever thought about it? Fundamentally, Rex doesn’t know the existence of this child. If he
can prove it, it will be not favorable for you.”

“…” This time, Lily is silent and has nothing to say.

Indeed, she is forced to leave with her child. If it is really investigated, it will not be easy to get rid of it.
Moreover, in Britain, judges pay more attention to the truth. What’s more, Rex is still a person with
social status.

For a time, all the fantasies in Lily’s mind turn into bubbles and break up.

“Do I have to marry you Ryan?” Lily thinks to herself.

Not to mention how she thinks, how Adair thinks, just on Ryan’s position to consider, it is unfair. She is
not qualified to put the things she cannot bear on Ryan.



What’s more, the issues between her and Rex are already in a mess. If Ryan gets involved in this way
at this time, it will be a disaster.

“I will think about it.” She’s in such a mess that she doesn’t have a clue.

Ryan knows that this it is not that easy for her to make the decision. “OK, but you should reply as soon
as possible, because Rex won’t wait too long.”

…

Another night later, Lily leaves the hospital. No one knows that she leaves the hospital ahead of time.
One reason behind her earlier discharge is that she is afraid that Rex will find out, and the other is that
she can’t continue to stay.

Ryan sends a driver to wait in the underground garage. And Lily gets on the car. The car goes around
the city and picks a line with relatively large traffic volume. Finally, he drives into Ryan’s capital
company.

The elevator goes directly into the office. As soon as the door is open, Lily sees Adair who is playing
LEGO on the tea table.

Adair also seems to have no idea that she will suddenly appear, and he runs to her excitedly, “Mom...”

“Slow down, slow down!” Lily welcomes him up, stretches out her arms and picks him up. She has not
seen him for many days. She misses her son so much. Her eyes immediately turns red, “Do you miss
me?”

“Yes!” Adair hugs her tightly as he depends on her very much. “Mom, how about you?”

“I miss you, too.”



Adair is in a better mood to hear that. He flutters down from her arms, stands on the ground, looks at
his half squatting mummy, raises his hand and touches her eyes, “Mommy, don’t cry, Uncle Ryan said
it’s not pretty if you cry.”

“OK, mom won’t cry.” Lily looks at him carefully to make sure that the child is well. Then, a heart
hanging in the air just falls to the ground. “Have you had a good meal recently and listened to Uncle
Ryan?”

“Yes!” Adair says and raises his head proudly, “Uncle said as long as I behave well, you will come back
quickly, so I was well-behaved and didn’t cause any trouble.”

Lily is gratified yet sad. Adair has no father, and there is no support around him. Lily is the biggest
support in his mind. Adair is precocious than other children. Others say she is lucky, but she hopes that
Adair will not be so sensible.

“Good boy. Mom won’t leave you.”

The four-year-old kid doesn’t know the meaning, but he nods happily, Lily is moved and holds Adair’s
hand to the desk, looking at Ryan sitting behind, “I’m back.”

Ryan looks straight at her, “What are you going to do next?”

Lily looks down at the child and leads him to play LEGO first. After making sure that he can’t hear the
conversation, she says, “I can’t hide. It doesn’t matter what I do. Don’t let him find Adair.”

Ryan frowns after hearing that, “It doesn’t matter? If Rex asks you to be with him again, it doesn’t
matter to you?”

“You know I don’t mean that. I’m just worrying about Adair.” Now, she has no time to care about herself.



“I hope you can think about my feelings when you say these words.” Ryan frowns, the tone mixed with
the desolation which is difficult to detect.

Lily is a little guilty. Since that day when something weird happened in the corridor, it has always been
strange for them to get along with each other alone. It’s clear that there is no change anywhere, but
there is still something subtle.

“Ryan, I...” she is about to say something but is interrupted before saying it out.

“It’s my problem. You don’t have to explain.” Then, he looks down again at the documents.

In fact, he doesn’t read any word. His whole attention is on her. Yes, it isn’t her problem. She never
says that she likes him. It is he who wants to be nice to her without asking for anything. No one is to be
blamed.
