460 Okay, I love you. (2/2)
That's why he was hurt because Lexi could not do the same. Or rather, she could, but perhaps Morris Liu was an exception? He was uncertain about it and this uncertainty; he didn't like it. It made him fearful and extremely insecure.
Lexi stared at him as she bit her lower lip. She's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Hence, Lexi mustered up her shamelessness as she slowly crawled to his side. Resting her head to his chest, Lexi's arms gently wrapped around his waist.
”I'm sorry and I love you.” She softly murmured as her eyes softened. ”I chose you and will continue to choose to be loved and love you every day. I know 'sorry' will not suffice for what I made you feel, and I never wanted to turn back time to correct it until today. I'm sorry, love.” Her grip tightened as she buried her face on his chest.
”I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” She meekly repeated over and over again until her voice cracked. Her shoulders began to tremble and Ethan Lu's clothes got soaked where she was silently crying like a little girl.
Ethan Lu pursed his lips on a thin line before he heavily exhaled. He then slowly turned his body to the side and embraced her petite figure. Sniffing and kissing her head, he rested his chin over her head as his hand stroked her back.
”Wrong. From now on, you won't say I'm sorry, but I love you. In that case, you will remind me how you're head over heels at this suave macho.” Smiling, Ethan Lu would be lying if he said he had forgotten about it.
However, being able to hold her, love her more, and resolving whatever misunderstanding they had, that was what's important. Correcting and forgiving each other of their mistakes instead of adding it to their problems.
Furthermore, wasn't this part of marriage? It wasn't all rainbows and butterflies, but also how they would stand side by side under any circumstances.
”I love you. I love you…” Ignoring the fact that he was boasting, Lexi repeated this new rule that he implemented just now.
”Just don't repeat it again, okay? I might just go berserk the next time.” Chuckling at how obedient his wife was, Ethan Lu rubbed her back as he reminded.
”Okay, I love you.” Lexi just nodded her head before she squeezed her body to him even more.
