Chapter 382 - Milk! (2/2)
”Rick, milk! Bring me the milk!” Realizing his innocent company that he summoned for this task were unmoving and were just watching him do all the work. For Peter's sake! This was the very reason why they were there— to give him a hand int watching these babies.
”Milk? What milk? Where's the milk? Red, milk!” Snapping from his stupor, Lyrick Jiang who was the first person to be dragged out and act as an expert babysitter, panicked as the twin's cries were getting louder and in sync.
”I don't have milk! Nico, milk!” Jarred Guo instinctively raised both his hands as he transferred the orders to Nico Zhuang who was now scratching the back of his head while his eyes scanned the surroundings trying to find a certain object.
”It's just in there! Try using your eyes! God da— jeez!” Frustrated at the transferring of his orders, Ethan Lu sassed as he glared daggers at the three who were not doing anything to help.
Watching them from the indoor balcony, Lexi's lips curled into a smile as her gaze softened, entertained at the four men who were panicking trying to stop the babies from crying. As she watched them more for a bit, she could not help but chuckle as they were indeed helpless.
Just what did Ethan Lu get inside his head to drag these three who were just as clueless as he was the first time he had to care for them? Granted that he trusted them more than others, alas, was it really enough in requirements to drag them all into this? If so, Lexi criticized Ethan Lu's desperate decision making because just watching them could make the person watching them experience stress.
”These guys… *sigh*” Shaking her head sideways, a chuckle escaped Lexi's lips before she decided to go downstairs and give them a hand.

[Somewhere in the city]
”Dylan, what do you want with me?” Raising her head to meet the sharp pair of semi monolid eyes of Dylan Lu, Laurel Wang, the daughter of one of the country's senators emotionlessly asked. Unlike her graceful aura back in Ethan Lu's official take over event, Laurel Wang seemed as if she had lost a little weight.
”Hmmm, I really don't know but you seem as if you lost weight.” Sneering, which was a facade under a gentle smile, Dylan Lu traveled his eyes to the distressed woman.
”That's none of your business.”
”I am just concerned, after all, I still root for you as my cousin's befitting partner.” Shrugging his shoulders, Dylan Lu heaved a heavy sigh. He didn't need to see Laurel Wang's expression to notice the abrupt change on her face.
”Say, Miss Wang, do you like Ethan?” Tilting his head to the side, Dylan Lu innocently inquired which made Laurel Wang pursed her lips into a thin line. ”You know, maybe I can help you…” Smiling, Dylan Lu raised his head to see the conflicted expression of the woman which was enough to satisfy him.
”... that is, if you are willing to snatch him at any cost.”
