Chapter 71 Getting to know stage (2/2)

”Hey! Stop! Jeez, you're drunk already! How can you drink with a man?” Displease by her recklessness, Ethan could not help but think that Lexi could do this with others. On a second note, getting her trust was like going through the needle hole. But still, it was exasperating to see Lexi this way.

”Aren't we friends? Besides, aside from the ridiculous quest, I should celebrate!” Lexi tapped her chest as she brightly grinned revealing all the goodness of her heart. She added,

”As I said, I took a step of moving on and this… meaning, letting go of the man I loved.”

”Ohh, you really meant that huh?” Stunned for a vague reason, Ethan raised his brows, confirming her statements.

”Yah,”

Since Ethan could neither drink or munch a snack, he carefully laid his body on the concrete floor of the rooftop; not minding the little dirt that hugged his expensive suit. Using his muscular arm as a pillow, he peered at the night sky full of stars. After some time, Ethan broke his silence as he inquired,

”Why are you so in love with brother Morris by the way? I mean, he's great yeah and helped you on your trying childhood days but… after everything, you know Mia, why didn't you let him go then?”

”Heh, because I loved him and I wanted to fight for him… or perhaps, that's what I thought. Maybe, I have done those because of my ego… yeah, I think that's what it is.” All of a sudden, Lexi's lively aura slowly dissipated as she pondered all the reasons she used to justify her action.

The cold breeze of the night enveloped between them as neither of them talked. They silently dwelled on their inner thoughts as if nothing could snapped them from whatever they are thinking.

Suddenly, Ethan sang a tune which was surprisingly soulful that snapped Lexi back from her stupor.

”I don't know what it is that you've done to me~

But it's caused me to act in such a crazy way…”

She heard that one of Ethan's talents was singing that could melt a woman's heart the moment they heard it. Alas, she didn't actually expected that it was true!

”Whatever it is that you do when you do what you're doing~

It's a feeling that I don't understand~” Ethan continued singing this song as it actually depicted what he was truly feeling in recent days.
