Chapter 579: 579
After that incident with Louis Lu, Lexi headed back to the car where Victoria Tang waited for her anxiously .
“Lexi!” When Lexi was closed to the car, Victoria Tang abruptly hitched out and her eyes studied Lexi from head to toe .
“I told you it will be fine . ” Guessing her worry, Lexi smiled as she walked towards Victoria Tang .
Placing both her hands on Victoria Tang’s shoulder, Lexi stared at her with worried eyes . “Vic, do you really have that small faith in Lou? Did you really think he would hurt me?”
” . . . ” biting her bottom lip, Victoria Tang felt guilty for having such thoughts . She couldn’t be blamed though as she was the first witness of the change in Louis Lu’s behavior .
Lexi knew this fact hence, she wasn’t disappointed in her . If anything, Lexi would wish that Victoria Tang could trust Louis Lu more . . . or rather, trust in the love they built with each other .
“You know, back when me and Ethan is starting, I had tons of doubts in him . I always observe him carefully to see if I’d see the signs to break up with him — I did see signs, a lot of them . ” Clearing her throat, Lexi stretched her lips into a smile as she confessed something she has told no one .
“But, you know, I never thought that most of those signs were the things that my mind just created . It was because of fear of my previous relationship . Thanks to a certain someone and the people around me, they pushed me to trust him a little and open my heart . . . and give myself a second chance . ” Lexi slightly squeezed Victoria Tang’s shoulder as she offered a sweet smile .
“I’m glad I listened . If not, I could never imagine my life without him . Vic, trust Louis Lu more okay? Everything will be fine . Just take your time away from him as a time to meditate, heal, and have more time for yourself . ”

Lexi patted Victoria Tang’s shoulder with a smile . “Help me with the luggage . ” Lexi said and headed to drag the suitcase towards the trunk .
Victoria Tang watched Lexi’s figure . The lightness around her was reassuring, as if no matter how dark the world could be, Lexi’s light would remain . Sure, Lexi wasn’t the best and most positive person Victoria Tang had met, but Lexi was one of the realest people of all .
“Thank you,” Victoria Tang whispered before a slight smile formed on the side of her lips . She then jogged toward Lexi and helped her with the suitcase .
After that, the two women hitched inside the car and sped away . Unbeknownst to them, Louis Lu was watching them from the gap of the curtain .
His gaze was mostly at Victoria Tang and a smile formed on the side of his lips when she cheered up a little . Whatever Lexi told her, Louis Lu was certain it was something he wouldn’t want to hear .
After all, Lexi had become cheesy the longer she spent her time with Ethan Lu . Regardless, Louis Lu still commended the two for overcoming many obstacles together .
“A better generation, huh . . . ?” He muttered as he drew away of the window .
Lexi’s words might be quite vague to him but thinking of his own son, Vincent Tang, Louis Lu hoped that he would be good friends with Evan and Lady Lara Lu . He hoped that their relationship wouldn’t be so broken as what Louis Lu had with Dylan Lu .
Louis Lu knew that when he wished for something, it wouldn’t just happened miraculously . He worked hard for it to have results .
Just then, Louis Lu placed his phone in front of his ear as it rang . It took a while before a lazy female voice answered it .

“Nope, I’m not doing it . ” Seraphina Yue’s voice came from the other end of the line and instead of a pleasant greeting, she answered the request Louis Lu asked before they parted ways the last time .
“I’m not asking about that . ”
“Huh? Who is this?” Sensing the slight difference in Louis Lu’s tone from his usual tone, Seraphina arched her brows as she humored .
“I’ll be asking a favor for the last time — you won’t owe me anything anymore after that . ” Ignoring her humoring, Louis Lu delved on the primary reason of his call . However, he couldn’t really rely on the woman from the other end of the line as she would usually blabber nonsense .
“No, no, no . I’m not dismembering Dylan nor Lin, not interested — I can’t bear to shatter my immaculate image . ” Shaking her head, Seraphina refused as she concluded on the request that this stingy guy was willing to call it quits on her .
Everyone knows that when someone asked Louis Lu a favor — especially money — the interest was frightening . It just so happened that Seraphina borrowed gambling money from him when she run out of cash . Therefore, she’s now paying the price since she was bored with her uneventful life .
“Not that . I . . . ” Louis Lu scoffed at the thought of the woman’s immaculate image she was talking about . Still, he continued with his request and explained it to the woman .
“Ahh . . . ” Nodding her head in understanding, Seraphina arched her brows again as she looked up as if pondering about something . “What a boring request . ” She then answered after a beat as she scrunched her nose up .
“Okay, whatever . ” Shrugging her shoulders, Seraphina Yue nonchalantly added . Just as she was about to cut the line, she heard Louis Lu say “thank you,” . However, instead of feeling moved, she cringed .
“Lou, being human doesn’t suit you . Please return to being a robot . ” Every word she said bore extra stress as she worded it loud and clear . The beeping sound then followed it . indicating the call ended .
Alas, instead of feeling offended, a faint chuckle escaped his mouth again . That woman would often tell him that . It was not like Louis Lu had taken it to the heart, but this reminded him of Victoria Tang .
“Your father’s smile is like a precious gem . It takes time for one to see it, but it’s worth it . ” In one of the occasion, Louis Lu overheard Victoria Tang as she conversed with their son .
