Chapter 44 Uh. Where are we again? (2/2)

Alas, is this why her father doesn't want to be entangled with the Yue family? Now that she was reminded of her father's reluctance, it only confirmed her conclusion.

”Hmm,” Ethan softly groaned before he slowly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the first figure that was caught in the corner of his eyes were Lexi who was lost in her own thoughts.

Seeing that she returned to her serious, unapproachable countenance, Ethan meekly smirked. ”Penny for your thoughts?” His voice was hoarse and faint but it only sounded magnetic that instantly snapped Lexi from her thoughts.

”Oh, what are you feeling? Water?” Lexi instantly inquired and without waiting for his reply, she hastily stood from her seat and fetch a glass of water. Placing the glass of water on the bedside table, she wordlessly supported Ethan who was assisting himself to sit then leaned on the headboard.

Ethan observed how fast Lexi had a change of persona. From cold to lukewarm, now a little bit caring. Indeed, she always surprised him with her personality which made her a little interesting.

”Water, drink it.” Lexi inexpressibly commanded after offering the glass of water. Observing her unobvious expectant pair of eyes, Ethan wanted to tease her a little but recalling that they just somewhat made up, he decided to let it go and meekly smiled before reaching out for the glass of water.

”Thank you…” Ethan sipped as he scanned his surroundings. Alas, seeing the unfamiliar place, he almost choked which made him let out a series of coughs. Of course, Lexi reluctantly patted his back with her brows knitted together.

”Uh, where are we, again?” Ethan inquired with the back of his fist that was covering his mouth.

”Our -- My parent's house.” Lexi corrected herself not letting Ethan for any opening to use her words against her.

Ethan blinked numerous times to her as he processed her words. Recalling their situation earlier, he indeed walked her up to their residence, doorstep but after that, his mind went blank. If he was there, does that mean he met her parents under such situation? For some reason, Ethan felt troubled yet, on the surface, he was blankly looking back at Lexi.

”Uh, hello? You still there?” Lexi awkwardly waved her hand in front of him as he seemed his mind wanders off somewhere.
