Chapter 424: There&##x27;s a Picture of Her in His Wallet

Rex takes the two to a restaurant at the foot of the mountain, it’s completely Chinese style. There’s a
stone-built pool at the entrance, which has a spring jutting upwards in the middle. On both sides is
man-made bamboo forest. The environment there feels elegant and sentimental.

But, Lily is surprised when she sees the menu. No wonder he calls it ‘Delicacy from Mountain’, most of
the dishes are just standard Chinese dishes, which is a little more upscale than those in agritainment,
but they don’t have the ingredients of a high-end restaurant.

Lily orders a stew made from a wild pheasant. She likes chicken soup and also poultry.

Rex still mainly orders vegetarian food. But this time, he orders two sweet and sour dishes for the child.

Five dishes and one soup. Outside the window of the private room on the second floor is the green
scenery at the foot of the mountain. Lily sips the chicken soup in the bowl; a layer of oil floats on top,
but it’s not just normal oil, it’s the unique oil of a wild pheasant. It doesn’t feel greasy but very mellow.

Eating in this kind of environment is extraordinarily enjoyable.

Adair is obviously hungry. He eats a whole small bowl of rice and drinks a bowl of soup. After eating, he
first wanders around the room a few times. But after a while, he becomes tired and his eyelids are
closing.

After such a long climb, he must be exhausted.

Lily is a slow eater but still speeds up to take care of the child. Rex looks at her, “Eat slowly, there’s no
hurry.”

She doesn’t say anything, she picks up her bowl and finishes the soup, then uses some tissue papers
to wipe her mouth. She gets up, wanting to hug the little one who is napping in the chair but Rex takes
the initiative.



She looks up yet Rex has already picked up the child, “My wallet is on the table, I’ll take him back to
the car and you’ll pay the bill.”

After saying that, he leaves the room without looking back.

Lily looks at his wallet on the table and sighs. She can only listen to him and go pay at the counter. The
total is five hundred and seventy-eight. Lily opens the wallet, uses cash to pay, but her sight is attracted
by a picture at the bottom left of the wallet.

It is a picture of her on her balcony five years ago, taken secretly by him.

She was lying in a rocking chair reading a book, perhaps slept, her head slightly tilted and her eyes
closed, the light falling on her left a bright color.

There’s a saying, a man loves you or not depends on whether he has a picture of you in his wallet.

It was a popular saying before, but in recent years cell phones have grown so rapidly that many people
won’t pay attention to this anymore. But at this moment she just remembers it.

Lily’s fingers are frozen and for a moment her nose is a bit runny.

“Here is your change.” The cashier's voice snaps her back to reality.

Lily sniffs and reaches for the money; her tone is shaky, “Thank you.”

…

Back in the car, Lily returns his wallet to him and informs him, “Total is five hundred and seventy-eight,
and I paid in cash.”

“Okay.” Rex starts the car with his hands gripping the steering wheel, and turns with a nice looking arc.



Lily holds back and doesn’t ask about the picture, but instead, she asks about the child, “Is Adair
sleeping?”

“Yes, I guess he’s exhausted.” Speaking of Adair, Rex’s expression turns very soft and tender.

In the past, he did not have this kind of patience with her. He always became anxious easily and
forcefully made her accept something that is simply unacceptable.

Now, when he becomes a father, he has changed his temper, right?

Lily turns her head and looks out of the car window. The car drives in the direction of the Imperial Villa,
away from the mountainous scenery. The greenery on the street becomes less and vendors become
more, Lily is a bit depressed for no reason.

Suddenly, her hand on her knee is grasped by a large palm.

Lily is startled and subconsciously pulls back her hand, but what comes next is a man’s calm voice,
“Don’t mess around, I am driving.”

“I’m not messing around.” Adair is still asleep, she retorts in a soft voice.

“Sleep for a while, I’ll call you when we reach.” Rex looks at the front. He already felt she was a little
tired back when they were eating. After all, women are always physically weaker; it’s already very good
for her to climb to the top of the mountain.

While climbing she has to worry about the child and keep an eye on him at all times, she must have
used a lot of energy.

Lily’s tries to break free from his grip but gives up after a few tries. After all, he is driving. Every time
she moves, the front of the car also turns slightly, and she’s not sure if it’s him who did it deliberately.



She is very scared and stops resisting.

The car is overwhelmed by silence. Lily is able to hold it at first, but as time goes her eyelids become
uncontrollable, repeatedly open and close. In the end, she can’t resist anymore and falls asleep
completely.

When the car stops at a red light, Rex unbuckles his seatbelt and leans over to flatten her seat, then
gets up and fastens his seatbelt again.

The light turns green. Rex presses down on the gas pedal gently and the car starts to move, he then
holds the small white hand beside him again.

…

After an hour, the car finally drives into the gates of the Villa.

Rex looks down at the watch; it’s two in the afternoon.

Rex gives a sidelong glance towards the woman beside him who hasn’t woken up even though the car
has been parked, then he glances at Adair in the backseat. He reaches out his hand to beckon Fanny,
who is not far away.

“Sir, you’re back.”

Rex opens the backseat door and unbuckles the child’s seatbelt, “Take Adair inside.”

Fanny quickly nods, “Oh, alright!”

After watching Fanny gently pick up the child and walk towards the villa, Rex then walks around the
front of the car to the passenger’s side. He opens the door, leans over to unbuckle Lily’s seatbelt, and
drops a soft kiss on her lips.



He puts his hands underneath her back and legs, and with a little effort at the waist, she is lifted
horizontally.

She is light, just around ninety pounds, Rex almost feels like he is not carrying anything. While walking,
Rex thinks, he must let her eat more and gain weight, or else in the future they won’t have a good time
on the bed.

Fanny puts the child back in the bedroom and goes downstairs just in time to see Rex carrying Lily up.
She was just thinking that Mr. Rex always likes to have physical contact with his child, but why did he
ask her to carry Adair just now?

Now that she has seen this, she understands. There’s a more important one compared to the child.

Fanny is a little touched; she turns around and sees Rex gently placing Lily on the bed. Perhaps it’s
because the place has changed, Lily groans a little. Rex immediately tenses up and remains still, he’s
afraid of waking her up.

He carefully takes off her shoes and socks, and then covers her with a blanket. When he gets up, there
is a blink of light on his forehead, he is sweating.

Such a gentle Mr. Rex, Fanny finally sees it once again after five years. She is extremely touched. She
hopes that the two will be together, and will never separate again. Other than Lily, she really doesn’t
know who else can warm up this cold-hearted man.

…

After putting his child and wife on the bed, Rex doesn’t stay long. He takes a shower and changes his
clothes before taking the car keys and goes out again.

“Will you be back for dinner tonight, Sir?” Before leaving, Fanny asks him.



Rex thinks about it and says, “No need to cook tonight, you said your son will be back tomorrow right?
I’ll give you two days off, go home to see him.”

Fanny is confused by the unexpected holidays, “Sir, my holiday isn’t…”

“It’s fine, it’s been so many years, and you’ve worked hard. Don’t need to be so restrained, just take a
rest, I’ll bring the two of them out tonight.” Rex’s face is as candid as he could be, but his heart is
actually thinking about his plans.

If his confession to Lily tonight is successful, something must happen, and the whole house is his
battlefield. Just thinking about it makes him excited, how can he let Fanny gets in the way?

No way.

Fanny doesn’t think much of it; she nods her head, “Thank you, sir!”

Rex waves his hand, he then puts on his shoes and goes out.
