Chapter 256 Our baby is not a dwarf. (1/2)

”Uh... yes...?” Arching her brows, Lexi slowly responded as she peered back at the shocked sexy specimen distance away from her.

”Babe and Love?” Repeating the endearment she used, Ethan Lu placed his hands on the side of hips— confident with his topless body being stared at.

”Did I sound weird?” Instead of other questions, Lexi furrowed her brows as she repeated those words inside her mind.

In retrospect, Lexi hadn't addressed him by any endearment before despite the fact that he had been calling her 'love, dear, baby, and etc' even when they were not officially together. Therefore, Lexi was trying to mimic him and tried to sound sweet. Alas, did she overdo it that it had sounded weird?

”Tsk tsk.” Clicking his tongue while shaking his head, Ethan Li raised his hand, bent his elbow and slightly pointed his finger to her.

”You stay there young lady. You've seduced me enough.” With that said note, Ethan Lu declared before he sprint towards the bathroom to ready himself for just one round.

Lexi was rendered speechless upon hearing his last remarks. Seduced him enough? Did she sound seductive then or was he just looking for an excuse for his perverseness?

”Hah, whatever.” Shaking her head sideways, Lexi decided to hop out of bed and get some of her luggage from downstairs so she could lessen her chores for tomorrow.

After half an hour, Lexi arranged some of her clothes inside Ethan Lu's walk-in closet. Fortunately, there was a section that was emptied that she didn't know as to when that happened hence, Lexi placed her clothes there. She also finished placing some of her skincare along with the ones that Ethan Lu bought for her before she abandoned the walk-in closet.

At the same time, Ethan Lu finally finished bathing and exited the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe with a small towel over his damp head. Turning his head to her direction, he tilted his head to the side with an innocent countenance.

”What is that?”

”Hmm?” Raising both her brows, Lexi look down as she scrutinized herself as if she somehow dirtied herself which was impossible. Thus, she raised her gaze again to meet his.

”That one on the sofa.” Plucking his lips forward, Ethan Lu pointed at the box he saw on the long couch. If he remembered correctly, Lexi was only bringing two huge luggage pieces and a few small bags for her accessories and her daily necessities. Thus, he didn't remember a box with her unless she put it inside one of those big luggage pieces.

”Ahh, that...” Nodding in understanding, Lexi meekly smiled as she strode towards the box that he inquired about. Picking it up, Lexi carried it towards the bed and sat on the mattress with it.

”It is something I want to finish.” She added as Lexi began lifting the upper part revealing a sewing equipment items, a few fabrics, and the sketchbook where she designed everything.

Ethan Lu dried his damp hair using the small towel as he strode towards her and perched on the edge of the bed. Staring at the inside of the box, his brows knitted in curiosity.

”Baby clothes? But, they are still too little— our daughter won't be a dwarf love.” Ethan Lu picked up a small half finished dress and commented. Although he was once again amused that his beloved dearest sunshine had this hobby, Ethan Lu was appalled as to why would she make a dress so small that only a tiny teddy bear could fit in it— even his whole fist could barely fit in it.

”Haha,” Chuckling about his comment, Lexi took the sketchbook and opened it to the last page where she drew her muse and her masterpiece before showing it to him. ”It's not baby clothes— it's for her.”

Ethan Lu examined her beautiful sketch. However, although the dress looks cute, the model was rather adorably weird. ”A dumpling?” He asked with his one brow raised.

”I know it's silly and I don't know what's gotten into me or why I used a dumpling with tiny hands and feet to be my muse, but...” Gently smiling, Lexi let out a faint exhale as she retrieved the sketchbook for her to look at it again. While her gaze traveled along with the details of the bright smile of the dumpling, her heart softened yet, it also slightly clenched.

”... my heart knows it is something I need to finish— I also want to finish this masterpiece I will make for this dumpling.” Lexi continued with a soft tone.
