Chapter 781  His Answer

Day Eighty-One…

~~*****~~

After Arthur Wayne intervened, defending Hanabi to everyone, he allowed Hanabi and Alexander to go home.

“Hanabi, I hope to see you again. Please visit me once you return here. I’ll bring you to Wayne’s residence. Your flight will be tomorrow, right?”

“Yes. I’ll fly to Country M tomorrow. Thank you for this invitation. I will visit you, sir, once I get free time.” Hanabi didn’t refuse Arthur’s invitation. She was very respectful towards the old man.

“I would like to apologize for what happened earlier. I hope you didn’t feel offended. Did you regret coming here tonight, Hanabi?” Arthur asked her worriedly.

“Oh, I’m fine with it, Sir. I didn’t regret coming here. It was my pleasure to meet you here.” Hanabi decided to forget what happened earlier. She was irritated at first but Arthur Wayne humbled himself to apologize to her even though it was not his fault.

“Grandson, send her home. She needs to rest early because she has a long trip tomorrow,” Arthur instructed Alexander.

“Got it, Grandpa.” Alexander and Hanabi bade farewell to Arthur. He escorted her until they reached his car. Hanabi was silent when she stepped into his car. Alexander started the engine and drove the car. He waited for the right time to ask Hanabi’s feelings.

“Are you upset with me?” Alexander inquired.

“What if I am, what will you do?” Hanabi said, arching her eyebrow.

Alexander didn’t know what to say after hearing that. He became silent once again, focusing on the road.

After thirty minutes, they arrived at Hanabi’s place. He parked at the front of her house.

“Thanks for the ride,” Hanabi mumbled before getting out of his car.

Alexander hastily stepped out of his car to chase after her. She was about to enter the gate when Alexander grabbed her elbow, thus stopping her.

“Hanabi,” he called out her name tenderly. Hanabi gazed at him with a questioning look. “What?”

“I don’t want to go home yet. Can I stay for a while?”

Hanabi furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that. “Hmmm, shamelessly inviting yourself huh?” Alexander just smiled sheepishly and nodded. “Yes. Because I don’t think you will invite me in.”

Hanabi heaved a deep sigh and said. “Suit yourself.”

Alexander’s face brightened up with a smile when he heard that. Hanabi allowed him to stay in her house.

“Thanks!” He blurted out enthusiastically.

Hanabi just frowned as she didn’t understand why Alexander looked so happy.

“Come in,” she plainly said after opening her gate.

The two of them entered the house together.

“Wait here. I’ll just change my clothes,” Hanabi said, gesturing for him to sit down on the couch.

However, Alexander grabbed her hand once again before she could leave.

“What? Do you need something?” she asked.

Alexander stared at her intently. “I just want to say… you look so stunning tonight, Hanabi.” He flashed his sweet charming smile after saying those words.

Hanabi was taken aback for a moment as Alexander complimented her. She wasn’t used to getting those praises and compliments.

“Hmm, are you saying that so that I wouldn’t be upset with you? Next time, don’t invite me again to join you at this kind of party. Your childhood sweetheart or rather your future wife will be targeting me again. If I don’t hold myself back, I might create a much bigger ruckus out there.” Hanabi started ranting at him.

Alexander blinked with amusement upon hearing that. “I don’t have a childhood sweetheart,” he replied innocently.

“Lily is not my future wife,” he pointed out.

“I don’t care if you will make a ruckus. But don’t worry, the next time I invite you, I will not let anyone bully and disrespect you. I swear.” Alexander made a solemn promise.

“And with regards to that incident… I would like to apologize, Hana… I shouldn’t have left your side. You were my guest so you were my responsibility. I’m sorry if I failed to do that.”

“I know you were not used to attending these gatherings. It’s my fault for being inconsiderate of your feelings. It’s just that… I wanted to spend more time with you, that’s why I invited you.” Alexander expressed his thoughts and feelings to her.

Hanabi was at a loss for words. ‘Why is he saying these words?’

There was an awkward silence after Alexander delivered his long speech of explanation and apology to Hanabi. He suddenly became conscious when Hanabi didn’t say a word. She just stood there, looking at him with an indescribable expression.

Subconsciously, Alexander tightened his grip on her arm as he looked away.

‘Argh. Why did I make it sound so awkward? And my heart… why is it beating so fast?’

“Hey, Alexander.” Hanabi walked closer to him.

Meanwhile, Alexander sensed danger with the way she scrutinized him. Reflexively he let go of her hand and stepped back.

But Hanabi kept stepping forward until she cornered Alexander. He stumbled back and sank onto the couch. He found himself face-to-face with Hanabi who was wearing her sly grin.

“Don’t tell me you have a crush on me?” Hanabi’s question was direct, her presence looming over him as she stood before him.

Alexander was tongue-tied for a moment, caught off guard by her direct confrontation. ‘Do I have a crush on her? Damn. Why am I letting her tease me like this?’ He scolded himself, gulping hard as he tried to calm his racing heart.

“Do you wanna know my answer?” Alexander asked her back.

Hanabi just bobbed her head, not breaking their eye-to-eye contact.

At that certain moment, Alexander didn’t hold back anymore. He did the thing he was dying to do ever since he saw her beautiful transformation tonight.

Alexander reached out, grabbing her waist as he pulled her. Then his free hand held the back of her head before his mouth captured her lips. Alexander kissed her! This was his vague answer to Hanabi’s question. FiNd 𝒖pd𝒂tes on n(𝒐)/v𝒆l𝒃𝒊n(.)c𝒐m

Hanabi: “…”

Hanabi was shocked beyond belief when Alexander seized her mouth, kissing her passionately. She didn’t expect this.

‘He is kissing me… but why… why can’t I push him away?’
