Chapter 346: DON'T SCOLD
Lexus felt like his head was going to explode when he finally opened his eyes and found that he was lying on a familiar yet comfortable bed with the morning sun shining through his bedroom window.
However, there were other things that he was more concerned with, naly; the pain in his head that made him groan quite loudly. His head felt like it was going to burst open and his throat felt like it was on fire, as if he had just eaten sand in an arid desert.
Okay, maybe that's too much, but still Lexus felt awful about his situation.
What happened? He thought…
"Are you awake? If you are, drink this…" Hailee ca into the room, carrying a tray of porridge and also a glass of warm mineral water and two pills to relieve headaches. "You really are looking to die," Hailee grumbled as she sat on the edge of Lexus' bed.
"What are you doing here?" asked Lexus, still trying to open his eyes properly because the sunlight from the window on his right was really distracting, blinding his vision. "You shouldn't be at my house so early…"
Hailee snorted when she heard him. "This is my house," she said firmly. "Besides, what if I was at your house in the morning?"
"Because if you're at my house, I can't eat your homade breakfast..." said Lexus, still half asleep with unfocused eyes, but then he realized there was sothing strange about Hailee's statent just now. "This is your house?"
"Hm," Hailee mumbled, she nodded and gave a small smile as Lexus started to open his eyes fully and take in his surroundings.
Right. This was not his room.
"Why am I here? What did you do to ?" he asked, dramatizing the scene. He rolled his eyes at Hailee, while his mories of the night before felt like events from long back in ti while he only rembered the na of a woman nad Candice, but not much of her face.
"Don't overdo it," Hailee grumbled while patting Lexus on the shoulder. "Take your dicine and eat your breakfast. You really troubled my friend last night."
"Your friend?" asked Lexus. He looked up at the ceiling, but couldn't really rember the girl's face. "How did I et your friend?"
"I should be the one asking that," Hailee said in a voice that showed her curiosity. "How did you et Candice?"
Lexus frowned as he swallowed the two pills Hailee had given him. "I don't even rember how I got to et her."
Hearing that, Hailee clicked her tongue. "Your mory is like a fish, very short." And hearing this, Lexus just chuckled. Maybe later, he would rember it clearly when the fog in his head finally disappeared. "But why did you drink so much last night?"
Hailee asked him about it, not that she didn't know. Of course she was well aware of what was happening to Lexus now.
Lexus had just found out that he was a child born out of his mother's infidelity. His biological father turned out to be an asshole who wanted to harm his brother and caused Hailee to have a miscarriage and now the matter turned even more complicated because the dia had slled the case.
As for Lexus, although his decision was unquestionable that he would stand by Ramon's side, it didn't necessarily make him feel any better about everything that had happened.
Although Lexus hid it by being cheerful as usual and as if nothing had happened, of course this left a huge impact on him.
"Oh, I was out with my friends, you know how n…" Lexus winked at Hailee. His attitude was always like this and he didn't show what he really felt.
To be honest, Lexus and Ramon were very similar to each other.
Ramon hid what he felt by being cold, while Lexus did so by being warm and friendly toward everyone, so that people who didn't know them, wouldn't know what they were going through right now.
"But Ramon is not like that," Hailee defended her husband. "He's never been as drunk as you."
The Lexus bared his teeth as he hissed in annoyance. "That's because he rarely drinks." In the end, of course, he had to defend himself. "By the way, where are you going?"
Lexus raised his eyebrows when he noticed that Hailee was dressed very neatly.
"I'm going to Tatum's company," she replied. "There are so things I have to take care of." Perhaps it would be more correct if Hailee said; there was soone she had to take care of.
Yes, Hailee would be going to Tatum's company for the first ti after she had acquired shares in the company and she was not going there to introduce herself to the other shareholders in the company, but to throw George out before the police issued an arrest warrant and locked him up for good.
Well, it would be more interesting to embarrass the guy first…
"Ramon will co with you too?" asked Lexus curiously, he then ate the breakfast that Hailee had brought and within the first bite, he already knew that Hailee was the one who made it.
This was one of the things that Lexus loved about Hailee. She was always very caring, even though she didn't seem to really care.
And at this point, Lexus again felt uncomfortable in her presence ... because it was his father who had made Hailee and Ramon lose their first baby, even though Lexus did not consider Leon as his father and he also knew that neither Hailee nor Ramon would bla him for this problem.
But, still… the guilt seed to gnaw at him viciously.
"No, I'll go there myself," Hailee replied confidently. She was normally nervous that Ramon wasn't by her side, but now she realized that there were certain things that you really have to handle on your own and that way alone you'll know which path to take.
If Hailee continued to depend on Ramon for every small thing, then she wouldn't make any progress while their enemies road freely and ca to devour them relentlessly whenever they saw an opening to do so.
"Wow, great..." Lexus comnted.
And into a few minutes of them making small talk about anything and everything while Lexus ate his breakfast, Ramon finally entered the room.
"Hailee, can you leave us for a mont?" he asked softly as he kissed his wife's forehead.
Hailee just smiled at him before leaving the two brothers alone.
"Hey, I know I'm wrong for drinking too much, but don't scold just yet… my head still hurts," Lexus whined.
