Chapter 199 - 199: It’s A Date (Part 5) (2/2)
Her seat.
Ethan opened the window and let the cool breeze enter and the glow of the moon to fully illuminate the dark room. He then sat on the chair to her right. His hand then rose and propped his cheek on his palm, his eyes never leaving her.
Lillie didn't knew what came into her when she unconsciously reenacted the pose she did that day.
With her chin leaning on her palm, she said, ”Hello.”
Then, instead of uttering ”hm” like he did years ago, Ethan replied, ”Hey.” With a sweet, charming smile that would make every women swoon.
Including Lillie, whose heart jumped.
”I'm Ethan Li.” He added. ”May I ask this lovely lady's name?”
”Lillie Bai.” A heartwarming smile gracing her lips, going with his actions.
A boyish grin appeared on his face as if he had one a grand prize. ”Would you like to have dinner with me later?”
”I would love to.” Lillie answered in a heartbeat.
This is what should've happened that day. This is what the two of them hoped would've happened.
If Ethan had been more open with his feelings, Lillie wouldn't misunderstood him. And if Lillie didn't judged him impulsively, and should've had listened and stayed a bit longer, non of that rivalry and feud would happen.
If non of that happened, imagine how beautiful their lives are together?
Fortunately, the gods pitied these two and gave them another chance. The ugly past was rewritten. The heartache was changed into a boundless love and warmth.
”Home or out?”
”I think you already know my answer to that, Mr. Li.” Lillie said with a meaningful look.
”Mrs. Li, I'm not sure what you're talking about?” Feigning oblivious, Ethan reached out for her hand.
