Chapter 378 - If you want another baby, we can make one. (1/2)
After receiving the call from Lyrick Jiang, Victoria Tang smiled from ear to ear as soon as the call ended. Holding the phone close to her chest, she headed back inside from the balcony of the hotel bearing a happy smile that was now plastered on her lips.
The moment she headed back inside, Louis Lu was now on the small yet cozy lobby of the hotel suite they were staying at. Slightly taken aback to see him back so early, Victoria Tang's smile gradually faded away.
”Uhm...” Pursing her lips into a thin line, Victoria Tang cleared her throat and deeply inhaled and exhaled. ”I will visit Lexi later, I just heard that she gave birth yesterday.”
Visibly, there was still a clear borderline between Victoria Tang and Louis Lu by the tone of her voice. Despite the several months living together under the same roof, the way they interacted was akin to their first meeting after years of separation.
”Why are you happy?” Blinking his eyes, Louis Lu ignored her heads up as he seemed as though he could not understand why Victoria Tang was happy on other's joyous moment. After all, she was not the one who gave birth nor was she's Lexi's relative.
”I don't know but I am.” Victoria Tang could not help her lips curling upward again as she envisioned two adorable babies.
”I bet they are so cute,” She wasn't that fond of kids before until she had Vincent Tang. Hence, just the thought of having to carry or see her friend's children, there was this excitement in her heart. Moreover, since Vincent Tang had been growing so fast, Victoria Tang missed the days when her son was just an infant.
”Do you want a baby?” Slightly tilting his head to the side, Louis Lu unreservedly asked that cracked Victoria Tang's beautiful reverie.
”What?” After letting out a series of coughs, Victoria Tang asked as she thought her ears were deceiving her.
Granted that Louis Lu sometimes asked like an innocent child, alas, in his case, there was no telling if he was truly clueless or was merely curious. Nevertheless, him asking such a question could make others cough or could even choke someone by their own saliva.
Not to mention, these past few months with him, instead of knowing him a little, Victoria Tang was always confused by him. He was not sweet like how Ethan Lu cared for Lexi nor was he good at comforting.
To simplify, Louis Lu was a completely different person than his cousin. He was having a hard time expressing himself and understanding other people's feelings. Therefore, he would always ask this and that as it seemed it was the easiest way for him to understand.
Still, what amazes Victoria Tang was that he never failed to surprise her with his unreserved words.
”If you want a baby, we can make another one.” Nothing changed from his unchanging surface while repeating and clarifying his statements as if he was just asking to buy all the clothes in a boutique.
”Mommy, daddy...” Just then, Vincent Tang's small figure rose from the long couch where he fell asleep. He was rubbing his weary eyes as he altered his head from his mother's aghast front while staring at Louis Lu as if he needed some holy water. And then to his father who slowly turned his head to him before an awkward smile formed on the side of his lips.
”Your mother wished you to have a baby brother or sister. Go back to sleep again.”
