Chapter 243: SERIOUSLY?!
"Did you guys make any plans to go out tonight?" Lexus asked as he picked up a piece of shrimp and devoured it. It wasn't clear since when, but Lexus had started turning up more frequently for dinner at Ramon's house now and every ti he was asked about it, he always replied that eating alone was not good, but eating alone with the quiet Ramon was much worse. "Why are you dressed too neatly for soone going to bed?"
So it could be concluded that Lexus would only have dinner there when Hailee was there, and although they often have small argunts, that was precisely what turned the atmosphere more lively.
"I like to dress neatly," Hailee answered casually, even though she actually knew what Lexus ant, because now she was wearing a turtleneck sweater to cover her neck, because Hailee couldn't possibly wear a scarf in the house. Lexus would be increasingly suspicious.
On the other hand, Lexus narrowed his eyes. "Is this one of your strangest behaviors during pregnancy? Fully dressed before going to bed?"
"Just eat," Hailee grumbled while throwing a sharp glare at Ramon. It was all his fault! However, the target didn't respond at all, he kept putting the at on Hailee's plate and acting as if he didn't commit any faults.
Luckily Lexus didn't notice the gesture and was busy eating his own dinner.
The reason why Hailee wore a turtleneck sweater was because it had everything to do with the punishnt Ramon had given her.
Ramon left a trail along her neck which frustrated Hailee and her guilt for not listening to Ramon's request to always be with Pyro, turned into anger.
The biggest hickey that Ramon left is right on the top of the neck and as long as the mark is visible, don't expect Hailee to show her neck. It was impossible for Hailee to walk around displaying this madness of Ramon. Not. That was beyond embarrassing.
But Ramon looked relaxed after doing that, with his tantalizing naked body, he walked toward the bathroom saying "if you don't listen to my words anymore, then the punishnt will be much worse than this."
Ugh!
Those words made Hailee feel a newfound temptation to fight him back. Hailee was curious, just what kind of 'punishnt' did Ramon have in store for her.
But, at that mont Hailee ca to her senses and shook her head. Her mind was too naughty. She must learn to control herself from such thoughts.
"The company's anniversary is less than two weeks away, have you got the dress for the event yet?" asked Lexus. "You have to pay attention to your stomach, don't wear anything too tight, my nephew will have difficulty breathing."
The corners of Hailee's lips twitched when she heard what Lexus said. They both have a strange way of expressing their concern.
"Not yet," Hailee replied while eating an apple that Ramon had offered her, after she had finished eating her dinner. "I don't know what kind of dress I'm going to wear yet..." Hailee still wasn't in the mood to go shopping. She didn't even think about it because there were so many things bothering her.
"Good then!" Lexus clapped his hands so hard that it took Hailee by surprise and he got a fierce glare from his brother, therefore, when he continued his sentence, his tone was slightly lower. "We can go together to look for the dress, it's been a long ti since you last shopped, right?"
"Shopping? With you?" Hailee asked skeptically, she knew that Lis really liked shopping and she herself still rembered their shopping experience. Lis invited her to move from one store to another with enthusiasm, until Hailee had a hard ti following her, but what about Lexus? Would he do the sa?
"Yes," answered Lexus enthusiastically. "We've never shopped together, have we?"
"I've never even shopped with a man," Hailee muttered as she chewed on the fruit.
"Then I will be the first." Lexus smirked as he said that. But, then he saw Hailee giving him a code with her eyes to ask Ramon for permission.
Oh, Lexus almost forgot about this overprotective brother of his…
Hailee didn't dare refute Ramon's words anymore, at least for now, after what she had done. Well, Ramon's punishnt was still very fresh on her skin, so it could be said that Hailee would turn into an obedient wife, until she felt Ramon's annoyance had lessened.
"Could it be…" Lexus had just started his sentence, but Ramon had cut him off quickly.
"No," he answered calmly, knowing what Lexus was about to ask.
"I won't tire her out," Lexus tried to bargain, while Hailee could only help with a hopeful look, giving Ramon puppy eyes, which had very little chance of success considering how determined Ramon's expression was in saying 'no'.
"No."
"We will only visit five stores." Lexus was still trying.
"No."
"Three stores?"
"No."
"Two?"
Ramon didn't answer again this ti, but that didn't an he agreed and Lexus slapped his forehead quite hard, feeling frustrated at his brother. Why was it so difficult to negotiate with this human?
"Okay, one store. We'll go to Margaretha Lamos' boutique and ask her to make a dress for Hailee, how about that? You have no problem, right?" Lexus snapped his fingers, feeling smart for having provided such a solution. "You yourself know Margaretha Lamos well, you wouldn't think anything bad would happen there, would you?"
"No." Ramon still stuck with his answer and this ti it was Hailee who spoke up.
"Can't I go out for a bit? I'll go with Lexus and Pyro…" Hailee sulked. "If I don't go, then how can I get the dress I want?"
"Invite Margaretha Lamos and her team here to make you the dress you want," Ramon replied casually, coming up with the best solution to this trivial problem.
anwhile, when they heard what Ramon said, Lexus and Hailee could only pat their foreheads in despair.
Seriously!?
