Chapter 427: Are You Willing to Give Me Another Chance?

There isn’t the bustling of people in the restaurant. Under the lighting, the ambiance is like a scene
from a fairy tale. There is a faint floral fragrance. The roses are arranged in all kinds of different shapes
and forms. The warm and cozy lighting adds to the beautiful scenery.

In the large hall, there are countless confession scrips drifting in the air. God knows when he started to
prepare this. Lily stands dazed at the door.

Her heart races and pounds fast. She stands stunned and then walks forward several steps. It is the
first time that she is surprised that way. She is shocked. She reaches out to feel the rose petals and
they are real, it isn’t a dream.

She is really too surprised, her brain is empty, and she never expects that Rex would at this moment do
these for her. From the moment she returned to the country, the two of them were bickering and
fighting. But recently he has changed but these came too fast and too sudden. It is totally unexpected.

Even as she was walking in, she was still worried about the kid, and the very next moment, she is
greeted with this scene.

She is getting emotional and in front of her is Rex with that dashing smile. He’s such a serious and
stern man who did not have a hint of romance five years ago. Five years later he actually does these
for her without saying a word.

Her feelings are churning and she can’t calm it down. Her thoughts are drifting away. She sees the
staircase leading to the second floor covered with rose petals on the carpet with white spotlights. She
walks over directly and carefully up the stairs, trying to avoid the petals.

At the moment she reaches the second floor, a tall figure stands at a corner not far away.



As she looks over, she sees a person in a dark grey business suit with a smart vest and white shirt.
The necktie is the one that she gave him five years ago. He has a decorative handkerchief tucked in
the breast pocket. The hair isn’t groomed but he exudes the air of a gentleman.

Under the messy hair, his eyes are deep and his nose pointed. His expression is sincere and he purses
his lips, revealing slightly his nervousness. In his dark pupils, only her image fills his eyes.

Lily thought that the sea of flowers is already very moving, but at that moment, all these could not
compare to the look in his eyes that mesmerized her.

He stands before her and reaches out with both hands.

Lily’s heart is in her throat and her veins throb. Her blood pressure raises to the peak. Even the air is
filled with romance.

She unconsciously reaches out to the man’s large hands and is firmly grasped the very next second.

Nervousness, fluster and throbbing… These feelings surge because of his movement.

At the moment when she extends her hands, his pretense of calmness dissipates and is then replaced
by his true and raging feelings. He looks at her in his true form intentionally to let her see his true
feelings.

She isn’t sure if it’s due to the lighting but even under the light, he became so tender.

He holds her hand and walks forward with the flickering candlelight surrounded by flowers. Even the
covers over the lights on the walls are changed so that heart shapes are projected. The balloons are
printed with her photo and one is seen every few steps. Even she doesn’t know when and how some of
these pictures were taken.

“I only have pictures from five years ago.” He calmly says and the reason is heartbreaking.



Lily is speechless and she is entirely tensed. She is led to a position in the corridor and someone
opens the door. “Please enter, my lady.”

Lily’s heart is racing again and this time it isn’t the uneasiness like before but is now in anticipation. She
is nervously anticipating.

She steps in and immediately she sees an image of both of them projected onto the wall.

Needless to say, this was taken five years ago but she remembers this photo because it was her that
forced him to take it.

“At that time I don’t know that you would leave for such a long time. Had I known, I would have taken a
few more.” He felt that the photo was rightly taken after he started to think about her.

When the past is mentioned, it seems like it’s right in front of them.

All these are issues which penetrated deep into the bone, how could one forget these?

But today his objective isn’t to make her remember the painful past. Rex brings her into the heart shape
marked out by candles and he stands in front of her.

Rex looks at her red tip nose and reddish eyes. He takes a deep breath and breathes out. He looks
serious and he wants to say what he had prepared but damn it, he can’t remember what he wants to
say.

He had revised it for the entire afternoon and was very familiar with it. But at this very moment, he
entirely can’t remember. He is nervous, so nervous that he forgets what he wants to say.

He can’t look at the phone and recite, can he?



Rex clenches his hands and musters his courage and speaks from the heart, “At that time, I saw you at
the bar when you were selling wine. I didn’t think too much and realized that I was entirely smitten by
you. I admit that initially it was due to your body but as time passed, I don’t know how long later, I
started to have feelings for you.”

At this point, he starts to smile, “This love came unexpectedly, but it’s a good thing that it’s you who
gave me so many surprises. You gave me a new life and the feelings of a normal person. I wasn’t the
same as before who only knew how to work till I was exhausted. Over time, I started to have this desire
to want to take care of you for life.”

As Lily listens, her eyes well up with tears and she covers her mouth with her hand, fearing that she’ll
cry.

“Time will shape a person and with what had happened during this period…” He gently says, his
expression is too tense to hide his nervousness. He thinks about the past and his eyes are darkened,
“But there is one thing I’m certain that from the beginning, I, Rex Gabbot, only loved one woman, Lily. It
isn’t Marina, it isn’t Vivian, and there isn’t anyone else. From the beginning, it was only you. I know that
I did a big mistake five years ago. I thought too highly of myself and I didn’t consult you before making
my decision. I let you down and also let down the child. All these years I thought that I had lost you.
Each day and each minute and second I lived in regret and in your memories.”

What happened five years ago is like a splinter in both of their hearts. If it is not removed, it will only dig
deeper and deeper. All those misunderstandings and all those silences were pinned by the splinter in
their hearts. Now he wishes to start over and wants to remove this splinter. The process will definitely
hurt.

Rex closes his eyes and suppresses the pain in his eyes, “It’s not that I didn’t consider setting you free
and let you seek a new life but it is too unbearable to live a day without you. I don’t know how to



continue living without you. I didn’t intend to seek your forgiveness and only wish to love and protect
you from now on. You… are you willing to give me another chance?”
