Chapter 254 Weird... like always (1/2)

Without waiting for Ethan Lu's response, Lexi placed a soft peck on his cheek before skipping outside the villa— leaving Ethan Lu with knitted brows.

'Send him out?' He thought inwardly that made his mind slightly perplexed for a while. He looked at the direction where Lexi went, ”Hey, young lady—” but the door was already shut closed even before he could finish his sentence.

”That's odd.” He mumbled as Ethan Lu contemplated whether to follow his future wifey or let her talk to Louis Lu since it seemed she wanted to talk to him. After pondering for a while, Ethan Lu decided not to follow suit as he knew Louis Lu wouldn't harm her. Moreover, his shadow was surely on-guard. Thus, Ethan Lu decided to respect Lexi's privacy and set a timer for her to talk to his cousin. Well, at least, if they were taking too long, he had an exact excuse for how long they had been conversing.

”Is five minutes a little long? Tch, whatever.” He mumbled setting the timer on his phone and then jumped out from the sofa and headed to the house's entrance but he didn't completely go out. He just remained there, walking back and forth while waiting for the timer to ring.

”Hey— wait!” As Lexi jogged her way to catch up with Louis Lu, she called out which caught his attention. He stopped in his tracks as Louis Lu turned to look behind him. There, Lexi stood several steps away from him. Tilting his head to the side, Louis Lu waited for whatever she wanted to say.

”It was you, wasn't it?” Slowly taking a few more steps forward, Lexi slightly raised her brows as she asked, seeking for an honest reply.

”Hmm?” Knitting his brows, Louis Lu was puzzled at her vague questions.

”That night... the first person who comforted me that night was you, right?” Scrutinizing his front, Lexi unconscionably swallowed an ample amount of saliva as she patiently waited to see if it rang a bell to him.

Well, although her memories were rather cloudy and was hard for her to understand, there are some parts that she remembered; for example, the pats on her back that night she broke down without knowing the reason. Still, Lexi was curious if Louis Lu heard anything that night that might help her to know the cause of the untouchable void in her heart.

”And what if it's me?” Arching his brows, Louis Lu inquired without breaking his stare with her. It was evident that his interest was piqued as he never expected her to remember. After all, from what he heard, Lexi was also unaware of the cause of why she broke down.

”Are you here to ask me why I comforted you? Don't feel moved though.” Louis Lu added and mildly shook his head sideways as he concluded her next inquiry, but to his dismay, Lexi only rolled her eyes as she clicked her tongue in annoyance.

”I am not but I owe you a thank you for that— thanks. Well, back to my initial intention, did you perhaps hear me that night? I know it might sound crazy, but it's actually slowly turning me mad that I am forgetting something... vital.” As Lexi goes on with her sentiments, her voice turned more distressed as this matter resurfaced again.
