Chapter 42 - The Only Thing That Matters (2/2)

He was just about to open his mouth to ask, but Yera suddenly spoke, ”I don't think it's Lyndon… His eyes were sincere. Those were the eyes of someone who is longing for a loved one. His eyes…”

Xander was holding his breath as he listened to Yera.

He could not help but comment, ”Looks can be deceiving, and so could the eyes… That's why we're moved by movies of which actors can act well. That's how the winners of the best actor and best actress awards won, because they could make the audience believe their acting just by looking at their eyes. But we all know that it's not real.”

If Rui could hear him, he would definitely tease him, but then again, who cares? He still had a point, and he knew that.

Yera knew what Xander said made sense. She definitely must not let her guard down with Lyndon.

”Hmm, how did he look? He got old, didn't he?” Xander blurted out of nowhere that made Yera flinch. 'What's with that question?' She mused but decided to entertain him by giving him an answer. ”He's still the same. Tall, dark, and handsome… He's the type who would still look good even when he ages because he takes good care of himself.”

It was true. Lyndon was fit and healthy, because he loved to work out and he maintained himself well.

”Who do you think is more handsome? Him or me?” Xander bluntly asked, which almost made Yera choke on her own saliva.

She turned her head and deliberately looked at Xander in disbelief. Xander gazed back at her and gave her his sweetest smile, followed by a wink before he turned his attention back to the road.

”Aren't you going to answer? Because if you don't, I'll just stop the car at the side of the road and wait for your answer…” Xander said, grinning. He knew he was acting rather childish again, but he just could not help it.

Yera, as usual, did not have the energy to argue with him about why he would ask something like that, so she honestly answered, ”You are…”

”But not everyone has the same opinion. Maybe for me, you look better than Lyndon, but then to others, Lyndon looks better… It's all relative to the eye of the beholder,” Yera added.

”Other people's opinion doesn't interest me. What you say and what you think is the only thing that matters to me…” Xander uttered in a stern voice.

Yera's heart thumped abnormally once more… 'What's with him?' She complained silently. She chose not to comment back. No, she did not know how to respond. She was, again, rendered speechless by Xander's straightforwardness. She simply could not find the words...
