Let's Get Married

Chapter 775: Your Mom and I Love You Very Much

The conversation between Adair and Rex attracts the attention of other parents. Although it is a fancy school whose students' parents are all rich or honored, Rex is higher in position compared to the other parents.

He is not only a prestigious barrister but an independent investor, and either of these two identities boasts absolute deterrence.

Therefore, a man whose daughter is Adair's classmate immediately greets Rex.

"Rex, long time no see. Are you here today to participate in the parent-child activity?"

Rex glances at the person and does not reply. Instead, he continues talking with Adair for a while before slowly getting up. It's obvious that he does not like such kind of greeting.

However, given that this man is Adair's classmate's father, Rex still has to respond to him. Thus, he says indifferently, "Yes."

The man chuckles. He can tell that Rex doesn't take him seriously, but he doesn't give up, "What a coincidence! My wife intended to come on her own. However, my work is done in time, so we come together. Rex, I wonder if you and your family want to eat with us later?"

Hearing this, even Lily can't help looking at this man, let alone Rex.

They don't have crossed paths before, and they even don't have acquaintance with each other. This man actually invites them to dinner. Therefore, Rex and Lily, of course, won't go.

As expected, Rex mercilessly rejects, "I'm here today not to do business, just to play with my son."

Whatever Rex's identity is, he is just Adair's father at school.

Lily subconsciously glances at Adair. He is still looking at the rope tied to his leg. He is too young to feel the love in Rex's words for the time being.

Although Adair can't get what Rex implies, Lily can.

Although, for Adair, Rex has been absent for five years, Lily is confident that Adair will be happy every day in the future as Rex's son.

As a mother, she is glad that her son has such a father.

Categorically refused, the man does not continue to invite them. He makes an excuse and leaves sullenly.

This episode does not affect Rex's and Lily's moods. Not long after, the game begins. There are a total of six parent-child teams participating in this game, including the Adair's team.

They line up at the starting line and fix their eyes on the red line. Rex and Lily, two adults, also take it seriously.

Squeak!

The whistle rings as the six teams struggle to run faster than the others. Adair chants his slogan and runs forward rhythmically and methodically.

They cooperate with each other very well, so they run faster and faster and leave the others behind.

They are getting closer and closer to the finishing line. Just as Lily thinks that they are about to win, she hears someone shout from behind her. She glances at the family beside them and sees that they have fallen.

Before she can respond, Adair, who concentrates on running, suddenly stops, and so does Rex.

Adair bends down and loosens the rope tied to his legs. Then, he looks up at Lily and Rex and says, "Mom, Dad, just give me a minute!"

After saying that, Adair runs straight towards the family who fall.

He squats down like a gentleman and politely asks if anything is wrong with those two adults while he is bending over to help his classmate, who falls to the ground, to his feet, "Are you hurt?"

Seeing this, Lily and Rex look at each other in unison. Both of them are moved.

Although a few families have already reached the finish line, Lily and Rex are happier to see Adair is so kind and earnest than to see he wins the first prize.

Lily takes a deep breath and then exhales. She looks down at the ground. Whenever she sees Adair do this, she will blame herself. She blames herself for having forgotten to teach him more when she is busy with work, but she is so proud that Adair has grown up to be a polite boy in a family that is not perfect or even intact.

This is what she is grateful for and values most.

When Adair runs back, three teams have been in the final line, but even so, he still ties the rope to him again and says to Lily and Rex, "Mom, Dad, let's go on."

Lily and Rex agree without hesitation and run to the finish line with Adair.

The teacher and the referee also see this. Maybe they want to flatter Rex, but Lily can still feel that they do appreciate what Adair does.

"Although Adair does not win the first prize in the game, given his kindness and the fact that he helps others, he is definitely the best. Therefore, I decide that Adair also has the same reward as the winner!"

Adair, who was a little upset just now, gets excited, "Wow! Great! Mom, we win!"

"Great," Lily pats his head lovingly, "We are proud of you."

Rex echoes, "You are not only a brave man but a gentleman." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

And then they take part in a lot of other games. Adair almost takes part in half of the games organized in the class, and Lily and Rex does not complain at all.

At the end of the day, they go to the washroom. Rex and Adair, a tall man and a little boy, walk in and stand in front of the urinal, which looks common, but Rex gets a very warm feeling in his heart.

He rarely has time to accompany Adair like this, and this warm feeling is more comfortable than any other business achievement.

However, just as they are about to pull their trousers up and leave, they suddenly hear someone is talking near the sink outside the toilet—

"Hey, do you see Rex today? He comes with his wife."

"Yes, he is Adair's father."

"I always think the family members don't get along well with each other, but now it seems they have a good relationship."

"Who knows? Perhaps it's just a show for us. If their relationship is really good, how can the child be under his mother's surname?"

"I agree with you...."

As the two men talk and walk away, their voices gradually fade away until Rex can't hear them.

Rex has heard of such rumors for so many years, so he has been immune to them. His first reaction is to look at Adair.

Although Adair looks calm, he is too young to hide his feeling. Rex can tell from his eyes that he is a little confused.

Rex takes Adair out and stand in front of the sink. While he is helping Adair wash his hands, he says, "You don't have to mind what they say. Your mom and I love you very much and we will love you forever."
