Chapter 84 Where were you all these years? (1/2)

All throughout their brunch, Ethan and Lexi bantered like a newlywed wed couple every now and then due to his edgy mood.

”Ahh! This girl is frustrating!” Ethan grumbled as he slumped on the couch where he spent his night being hunted with Lexi's excerpts.

”Stop whining, gosh! I'm going.” Exiting the master's bedroom with her branded purse, Lexi glared at the gloomy man lazing on the couch.

”Go, just go -- give me a break.” Unenergetically waving his hands off, Ethan Lu scoots her away as he could no longer take this stubborn girl.

By the looks of it, he didn't have any intention of properly sending her off because Ethan Lu knew that, with his current state, he was unable to drive even if he wanted to.

Moreover, she's sober and back to the 'strong independent woman' mentality. Hence, even if he offered her a ride, she would refuse without batting an eye.

Burying his face on the soft pillow, he heard her stomping footsteps fade which relaxed his tensed shoulders.

'Yeah, just go already -- I need to rest!' He whined inwardly, sort of displeased that she didn't even say goodbye or anything before leaving.

Retracting his head on the pillow, Ethan was about to take a peek at the entrance of the presidential suite, to check if she had already left. To his surprise, Lexi was squatting down on the side while curiously looking at him.

”What the! Do you want me to die from heart attack?!” Jolting from his position, Ethan hurriedly crawled on the edge of the couch while looking at her with disbelief.

”You're such a diva. I'm just worried if you're fine, okay?” Lexi rolled her eyes by Ethan's over exaggerating reaction since earlier.

She hadn't realized it yet that her main initial task was completed, thus, Lexi was unaware of how confused he felt. Not to mention, the real torture he put him through last night.

But still, she was indeed concerned at his well being because Ethan seemed to be in his last straw of sanity.

”Do -- don't be concerned to me, god! You are more terrifying when you do, jeez!” Ethan aggressively shook his head by her sudden display of concern. He just needed a long sleep and he'll be fine but, as long as she was there, he couldn't do that!

”Tch, are you bipolar? Whatever, I'm going.” Lexi clicked her tongue in annoyance by Ethan's suspicious attitude but she chose not to dwell on it.

Supporting herself to stand, Lexi sighed as she glanced at Ethan's messy yet dashing looks.

”By the way, thanks for last night.” She then turned her back on him, while she uttered her thanks to the man.

She might sound embarrassed about it, however, Lexi was slightly astounded that the person she would be celebrating with was none other than Ethan Lu!
