Chapter 195 - Someone To Lean On (2/2)

”He's really crazy,” she muttered to herself.

Clara patted her shoulder and said, ”Or perhaps, he's just crazy in love with you.”

Xiu's heart fluttered as she looked expectantly, ”Do you think so?”

”You still have a doubt? He put so much effort and thought into this. If he wasn't crazily in love with you, he wouldn't do that. Unless, he's too good of a playboy.”

Xiu nodded in agreement, it did make sense. He wouldn't do so much just for anyone, right? She had to be that really special one in his life for him to put so much effort, right? But he clearly told her that he used to be a playboy. Now that made it complicated.

”He could have just said it to me, why do all this when I'm dumb enough to not even get it?” Xiu muttered again in a sulky tone.

Clara laughed at her reaction and said, ”He used words with those small notes and he used those flowers as his actions to give you a complete package. Why are you still upset?” Suddenly thinking of this, she got excited as she said, ”Finally, I can plan a wedding for my one daughter since the other one is useless anyway.”

”Woah! Mom, that's going a bit fast?” Clara looked at Xiu questioningly as she continued, ”Don't you think it's too soon to think about marriage?”

”Xiu, time could never be an obstacle where love is involved. Because falling in love is like finding the key that perfectly fits. It just has to click.”

”I can understand what you're saying. The connection he and I share really makes me wanna believe that we are meant to be. But even then, I'd like to give him time to think about it.” Xiu gave her reasoning and Clara didn't force her.

”I don't care as long as you have someone to lean on now,” then she turned her head to look at Nora who had been silently immersed in watching something on the laptop till now and sighed, ”I wish someone knock some sense into her head as well. I really want her to stop wasting her youth on stupid flings.”

”Ahan! I figured it all!” came Nora's loud cheers of excitement as if she won a lottery startling both Xiu and Clara who had been talking seriously. They though something really big happened. But in reality, when Nora ran up to Xiu, her victory was that ”I managed to figure out how to open this box of yours.”

Xiu's brows quirked up on instinct as she starred dumbfoundedly at Nora who was being excited like a child now.
