Chapter 203 Lets break up (1/2)
At Hao's restaurant…
Morris Liu arrived at exactly eight in the evening. As expected, Lexi arrived much earlier and was waiting for him in one of the VIP rooms in the fancy restaurant.
As he entered, Lexi was already there wearing a tube black, fitted dress with a red blazer suit placed on her shoulder. Her hair was tied in a low loose bun displaying her jaw and slender neck. When she heard him entered, she turned to see him and a content smile formed on the side of his lips.
Standing up, Lexi's eyes sparkled with love and without further ado, she rushed her way towards him— wrapping her arms around him. ”I missed you,”
Her action, of course, made Morris Liu stiffened as his hand slowly attempted to return her warmth. However, just as his hand was about to land on her back, he stopped. Instead, his hand went to her shoulder and slowly pushed her away.
”Lexi…” He lowly muttered. Seeing the distress expression flashed across her face, his brows slowly creased. He wanted to hug her as well, however, not after she agreed to return to Country Y.
”Oh, you're probably tired— let's take a seat first.” Forcing a smile on her lips, Lexi let him go as she turned around and awkwardly gestured him to take a seat. It was evident that she was hurt once again seeing that he was distancing himself, but she couldn't care less and deluded herself that he was just tired.
Just as Lexi took a step forward to her seat, Morris Liu grabbed her slender hand which made her halt. ”Lexi, I'm sorry.” Perhaps it was his endless guilt or he was tired seeing that she was getting hurt with everything he does, Morris Liu could no longer hold back.
Lexi bit her lower lips upon hearing his apologies. That very instant, the terrifying feeling of entirely losing him slowly vanished. Turning around, the corner of her eyes molded tears as her heart softened. ”You're such a bully.”
Seeing that she was finally revealing her emotions, his eyes softened and slowly pulled her to his embrace. ”Sorry…”
Lexi let him transfer his warmth to her as she wiped the little tears on the corner of her eyes. She didn't mind the past week that she felt heartbroken without hearing from him because just one word from him, all her heartaches would vanish in an instant.
After coaxing her for a while, Lexi and Morris Liu finally took their respective seats. As usual, Lexi enthusiastically shared her life in Country Y. She also flaunted her capabilities as she explained that she finished her classes due to her high grades and advanced knowledge on certain classes that made her passed each exam through hard work and countless sleepless nights. Overall, she had fun despite going through such tough times.
Meanwhile, Morris Liu listened to her every story as his gentle eyes locked on her. In his mind, he should have done this before to save both of them some slack. However, he knew that he could not reverse the time. Therefore, he could only prevent her from hurting here onwards.
”Lexi…”
”Hmm?” Raising her clear eyes across her, Lexi hummed a merry tune as a satisfied smile formed on the side of her lips. God knows how happy she was because her beloved returned to his original self— cold and aloof to others but to her, he would patiently listen to her stories with interest.
”I have something to tell you… I need you to return to Country Y.”
Lexi blinked numerous times as she absorbed his words for several seconds. Scrutinizing his front, he didn't show displeasure nor he seemed he was mad at her. Instead, Morris Liu appeared he was asking for a favor which she didn't mind fulfilling if he told her the reason.
