Chapter 586: A Sense of Belonging

After the kiss, their breathing becomes flustered, especially Lily. She looks around but she doesn’t dare
to look directly at him. She accidentally looks at him and her heartbeat races like a runaway motor.

Has she lost her mind to kiss that man?

She doesn’t know what made her do that after seeing his dejected expression. She didn’t wish that he
became that way because of her but she didn’t know how to express herself and resorted to kissing
him.

Obviously, this method garners an excellent response; after all, action speaks louder than words.

She clearly sees the happiness in his eyes. He is really very happy and it is written all over his face.
After several seconds, Lily quickly looks away.

“Lily…” He calls her name, but the tender voice makes her blush, and her heartbeat races.

Lily lowers her head shyly. Although she has forgotten their past, she can accept this man once again,
“What…”

“This is our ‘first kiss’.” He grabs her fidgety hands. What he says makes her so embarrassed that she
wants to find a crack to slip into, “You kissed me.” Rex adds.

Although they have a child together, to Lily who has lost her memory, the kiss just now can be
considered as her ‘first kiss’.

“Stop saying it!” Lily gently struggles but is held even tighter by him.

Rex says again to emphasize his joy, “I’m very happy.”

“…” There is no need to say. She can see it. Anyone with eyes can see it!



Lily doesn’t understand why he must say something like that. How embarrassing that is…

Just as she is regretting her foolish act, he suddenly hugs her and his gentleness is like holding onto a
precious porcelain doll, “Your contact, touch, even if it’s just a smile, will bring me immeasurable
happiness.”

Lily relaxes her entire body and submits herself to this tender and warm embrace, as she enjoys the
familiar scent.

“I’m actually afraid that after we go back, you will have your parents, your friends, your child, and others
that can distract you. Will you neglect me and not rely so much on me anymore?” Rex gently taps his
chin on her neck. He feels embarrassed saying these directly to her and so he tells her while hugging
onto her, at least he feels it easier to speak his mind in that position.

While he hopes to go back to the city where they have countless memories, his heart is filled with
uncertainties about what is to come.

Lily is stunned when she hears him and doesn’t expect him to be so worried. She looks at the man’s
vulnerable state and feels amused and yet aches for him. Although she feels embarrassed about it, she
decides to muster her courage to tell him so that he knows how she feels.

“But now I already feel that I cannot live without you. I feel flustered whenever I don’t see you.” She
can’t tell if it is due to her ailment or is it due to something else. She only knows that her heart tells her
that she has already developed a reliance on Rex.

He can tell her a lot whether it concerns medical procedures or what happened in the past or the
comfort that he gives her in their current precarious situation.

“Really?” He asks with uncertainty.



“Really.” Though she hesitates, she places her hand on his broad back and gently hugs his strong body
while teasing him, “You are so handsome and have both money and authority. You are also so good to
me. Any woman would be touched by you.”

She didn’t expect him to continue to wallow in his gloomy mood. Rex says, “I’m not joking.”

“Neither am I.” Lily purses her lips and smiles, “these are my true feelings.”

Rex never thinks that being handsome and rich are things to be proud of. A man’s temperament and
capabilities are the most important. But now that she mentions it, for once he thanks God for giving him
a handsome face.

“I will cling onto you if you ignore me after we go back. Don’t expect to escape from my clutches.
Understand?” He finally gets back his self-confidence and braces up.

Lily laughs softly and drags out her response, “Okaaayyy …”

…

Eunice returns to school on the first week of school reopening and she quickly gets along with her
classmates. She doesn’t hide the fact that she had repeated a school year and tells her classmates on
her own. When her classmates find out that it was due to her need to work, not only they don’t find it a
problem, but they respect her for her courage and experiences. Eunice is relieved by their reaction.

In the previous school year, if it had not been for that troublemaker Maureen’s instigation, perhaps
there would not have been so many issues and reprimands. After all, University students have little
worldly experience and most are neutral on many issues only to sway with what others are talking
about. As the saying goes, a bad apple spoils the whole bunch.



She moves into the dormitory to stay after the University reopens and packs her lesson schedule. Even
so, she will endeavor to find time to go back to see Lorraine.

As the weekend approaches and she becomes excited when she thinks of her date with Ryan.

On Friday, she asks Lorraine for permission not to go home with the excuse that they have some
school project over the weekend. Lorraine agrees immediately as she prefers that she remains in the
University compounds.

After Eunice completes all her classes at 4 pm on Friday, she returns to her dormitory and takes out
her cosmetics from her closet. She begins to makeup, which sparks the curiosity of her friends.

“Eunice, why have you put on such delicate makeup? Do you have a date?” Lindsay asks without
reservations.

“Yeah, she doesn’t normally makeup. Why is she carefully putting on makeup now? She must be going
to meet her boyfriend!” Eunice’s other friend, Angelina, continues. Her nickname is Angie.

Eunice is so embarrassed by their teasing that she doesn’t dare to lift her head. She is very shy and
blushes red very easily, “No, don’t guess wildly.”

“We didn’t, we’re saying nothing but the truth.” Lindsay lunges over and blinks at Eunice and teases
her, “I was just wondering why you had ignored the advances of so many men. So you already have a
boyfriend…”
