Chapter 126 I love you (2/2)

”Why?” Arching her brows, Lexi ignored the talking dumpling that always instructs her to comply with him every single time.

”Some energy boost.” Winking, Ethan continuously raised his brows up and down as if he was certain that she'll hold him. He added,

”I'll have to go home later and… I will surely miss yo --” His sentence was interrupted midway when Lexi abruptly placed her hand to his.

”Five minutes.”

”Hehe,” Ethan chuckled a little louder as he was amused at Lexi's strategy to shut him up.

Looking down on their tangled hands, Ethan's gaze turned even more gentle as he played with her slender and soft hand. Though their relationship was rather complicated, Ethan Lu was more determined to make their relationship official.

”Can I pick you up on your last day here?” After a minute, Ethan asked without turning his head towards her.

”No need. Manager Abi will pick me up.”

”Oh… alright,” He nodded in understanding. Ethan didn't insist further; afraid that she'll be annoyed with his never-ending demands.

One minute before the said time, Ethan indulged himself with the warmth of her hand as if he was treasuring every second that he held her hand. Soon, he broke the peaceful quietness around them.

”I never thought that holding hands can be this satisfying.”

Upon hearing this, Lexi pursed her lips as she almost fell asleep because Ethan's touch was too gentle.

”Times up!” Ethan announced as he put her hand back on her lap. At that very moment, Lexi prepped herself to exit the car and go to her room.

It didn't take long enough when Lexi grabbed her purse and the two flowers from the back seat with Ethan's help.

”Uh, thanks. Take care on your way…” Lexi awkwardly uttered as she cast him a glance before opening the door and without a word, she exited the car.

Just as Lexi stepped her foot outside, the car's window rolled down and Ethan was smiling while looking at her. He uttered,

”Hey, I forgot something.”

”Huh?”

”I love you.” He grinned widely that revealed his even white teeth.

On the other hand, Lexi shook her head as she rolled her eyes. ”Drive safe.” She tapped his car's hood before resuming on her tracks towards the hotel's lift.
