448 Sleep It Off (2/2)

Ah-Si nodded his head, ”So since he isn't here you're trying to catch up with sleep?”

Xiu looked down at sleepwear and shook her head, ”Nah! I'm afraid I'll miss him too much so I'm trying to sleep it off.”

”But you said he's only gone for over two hours,” reminded Ah-Si.

”That's a long time for me,” replied Xiu innocently. ”I slept for half of that time and I still think it's been way too long since he left.”

”Your relationship is really...”

”Choose your words wisely,” Xiu cut him off. ”I take my relationship with Regan very seriously. Most of the time, I do sound like a desperate girlfriend but I don't like hearing it from others.”

Ah-Si smiled softly, ”I was gonna say, your relationship is really amazing.”

Xiu grinned brightly, ”Well, thank you. I know that already.”

Xiu didn't know how long Nora was gonna take but she was certainly not in the mood of talking right now. In fact, she just wanted to lay down quietly with an empty head. It would be perfect if her mind would stop working the overtime.

”Xiu...”

”Hm?”

”How did Nora's parents react? I mean after they met Ava? Is everything okay with her?”

Xiu's lips curled up slightly as she noticed his concerned look, ”If you're that worried why don't you ask her yourself?”

”I did. She just brushed it off saying everything is fine.”

Xiu shook her head, ”She wasn't brushing you off. Everything is really okay.” Seeing Ah-Si's confused look, she went on, ”Clara mom and Uncle Jing love Nora very much. Even if she really committed a crime, they are the kind of parents who would be willing to take the blame for their child. They are also the most understanding parents I have ever met, what could possibly go wrong?”

Ah-Si finally relaxed as he heard the confirmation from Xiu.

”In fact, your daughter has also made her way to their hearts already. They are so obsessed with their granddaughter that my little brother is feeling insecure now.”

”Insecure?”

Xiu nodded her head in response, ”Jackie thinks his value is going down and no one loves him anymore. He was the youngest in the family but now Ava is. There was bound to be this clash.”

Ah-Si laughed along with Xiu and felt lighthearted as well. ”Hopefully, he'll also warm up to his niece soon.”

”Don't worry about that. Although Jakie seems too cold and mature for his age, he is still a kid. Soon enough he'll be the one pampering his niece.” There was no way she'd get it wrong. It was just a matter of time. Once Jackie really opened up his heart to Ava, no one would be able to come between them.
