Chapter 426: A Sea of Flowers

Whether if it is handsome or not, he can’t have cosmetic surgery in that short period.

Joe comes up the stairs due to an issue with the venue to discuss with Rex. Each of the two times he
sees him standing in front of the mirror.

In the end, he couldn’t resist and asks, “President Rex, are you very anxious?”

“What do you think?” Rex doesn’t deny and admits immediately, “This is the final part, can I not be
anxious?”

“You are really concerned about Lily.”

Concerned?

Rex is stunned; he realizes that his spirits is determined by the little woman who is at home. He comes
to his senses and says, “No choice, women are so troublesome.”

He says it as if he isn’t willing to do it; but why would he do all these for her if he isn’t willing to.

He sees that it is late and Joe starts to remind Rex who is so anxious that he loses track of time,
“President Rex, you should change your clothes.”

Rex realizes it and instructs several issues before rushing downstairs.

He custom-made a dark grey business suit and a unique shirt with a vest. It is close fitting and reveals
his slim waist and chest muscles. The length of his trousers is just at his heel, matched with a pair of
brown-colored leather shoes. He is elegant and composed, just like a prince.

He walks out after he changes and the numerous workers couldn’t help but fixate their eyes on him. He
has a unique presence that has the ability to attract the attention of those around him.



This kind of man is a rarity and can’t be ignored. His legs and waist are sufficient to make any woman
sink into her desires.

“How dashing! Really envious of the woman to be proposed. This is like a knight saving a princess!” A
female worker whispers to another in praise. Her tone couldn’t hide her envy and excitement.

Another person is also excited but is older and more mature, “Quiet down, you’ll be scolded if you are
overheard.”

Everything isn’t important to Rex; their attention is on tonight’s proposal and that woman. He doesn’t
care about anything else.

The time ticks by and the venue is well prepared. Rex takes out his cellphone, finds Lily’s number, and
calls her.

When the call goes through, all he can hear are shuffles of someone scurrying around. He waits for
several seconds and the noise quiets down and then a clear and beautiful voice comes…

“Hello?” It’s Adair.

Rex frowns and his heart skips a beat, “Adair, where’s your mom?”

“Mommy is at the kitchen cutting fruits for me.” The kid reports and looks at the kitchen as he says to
confirm Lily is there.

Rex sighs in relief, “Okay, good boy, give the phone to Mommy, uncle has something to talk to
Mommy.”

“Oh, okay, please hold on.”

“No hurry.”



The sound of footsteps ‘tap tap tap’ comes through the phone and then an innocent dialogue comes,
“Mommy, uncle is looking for you.”

“Uncle? Which uncle?”

“Uncle Rex!”

Lily dries her hands and takes over the phone, “Hello, you’re looking for me?”

“You’re at home with the kid?”

“Yes, I took a nap and just woke up.”

“Have you eaten?”

Lily looks at the clean kitchen, “No, Fanny said that you told her to take the day off? I’m about to
prepare dinner…”

“No need.” Rex interrupts her as if he is worried that he wasn’t in time, his tone is excited, “I made
reservations at a restaurant, and the driver is on his way to pick you two.”

Lily looks up at the time, it’s almost half-past six, “No need, it’s so tiring after the mountain hike and you
haven’t had a rest. Let’s just eat simply at home.”

“Not troublesome, the restaurant has already been reserved. You just wait for the driver to pick you up.
At the other end, he is worried that she will reject and he tenses up, “Did you hear?”

“Okay then, I’ll dress up.”

“There are new dresses in the closet and they are just bought. Pick something that you like.” He
notices that she wore as the same as yesterday. He hangs up after saying, “See you later.”



Lily takes off her apron and goes to the closet as he mentioned. The large 3-sided walk-in closet is half-
filled with women's clothing. The remaining third are his clothes. Lily doesn’t take a second look and
just picks a long dress that extends to the heel. She is petite and wearing this dress will make her look
taller.

Lily receives a call from the driver several minutes after she finishes changing. He has arrived and she
gets shocked as the driver comes so quickly.

She doesn’t dare to delay and grabs Adair out the door. When she gets up the car she realizes that the
‘driver’ is Joe.

She has only met him once since she came back from J city and she greets in surprise, “It’s you?”

Joe is polite and formally opens the car door for her, “Lily, please.”

On the road, Lily and Joe are chatting but he doesn’t ask where she was or what she did over these
five years. He also doesn’t ask about the child and just talks about the interesting events that happened
to him to let her mood be more relaxed.

Joe looks behind from the rearview mirror and sees Adair’s fair and clean tiny face. He is happy for
them, “No wonder it’s said that boys resemble their mother, he indeed looks like you!”

On hearing this, Lily looks at Adair’s facial features. Indeed he looks like her but if you look closely, his
eyebrows and several other features also look like Rex. For example, the way he laughs and how his
lips hook upwards when he smiles. It is like they came out of the same mold but these require close
observations.

They chat as they drove and soon arrive at the destination. Lily looks out at the exquisite restaurant
and releases her seatbelt and has a strange feeling.



They had already spent so much energy today and now he has the mood for a romantic evening?

Joe has already opened the door when she is lost in thoughts. “Lily, go ahead first, I’ll look after the kid
first.”

Lily raises her eyebrow, “Without the kid?”

“With, but later, President Rex said to let you go in first.”

He is clearly fumbling and something must be going on, but what can it be? It surely isn’t something
dangerous and she definitely trusts Rex at this aspect.

Unless there is someone else present? Surely there must be something inappropriate otherwise why
would he not allow the kid in?

When she considers this, Lily can’t help but frown. Is it about the custody of the kid? His attitude was
clearly different these couple of days. Could it be about this?

She can’t figure it out, really can’t figure it out. But at this point, she doesn’t object. She looks down at
the kid, “Adair, stay with uncle first and come to look for mommy later, okay?”

Adair doesn’t mind and is mesmerized by the LED lighting, “Go ahead mom, don’t worry.”

Lily composes herself and looks towards Joe, “Thanks for this. It’s dark already and don’t wander far,
call me if anything happens.”

“I will rest assured.”

Lily turns and walks towards the restaurant. She walks with butterflies in her stomach and unease. All
kinds of thoughts flash across her mind and mix together. She couldn’t relax and finally reaches the
door. She reaches for the door and then is immediately stunned.



The entire ground floor of the restaurant is filled by a sea of flowers…
