Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Exhausted from last night's incident and from having to keep acting all afternoon until night, Alexa fell asleep until the next day together with Fillo in a large bed. At first she was confused because she woke up in a strange place, then slowly she remembered everything.

She scanned the room before actually getting up. The room she occupied was large enough to be called a guest room. The contents of the room were also complete. There was a television, couch, dressing table, cupboard and velvet carpet in the middle.

While living with her parents, she was not in a difficult economic situation. But seeing the difference between this villa and her family's house, their caste still looks like heaven and earth.

Shit.

How can other people easily become rich, while she has to work very hard?

She looked to the side and saw the sleeping child hugging her arm. With that, her jealousy disappeared with warmth.

"Fillo, do you like big house like this?" she asked her son who was still sleeping. "I saw there was an indoor swimming pool in this house. Isn't it amazing?"

At her parents' house there is also a swimming pool, but it is not big and rarely anyone cleans it.

Meanwhile, the pool at Ray villa has very clear water and you can see the blue tiles on the floor. Yeah. So conglomerates are amazing, they can ask helper to clean it even if they are lazy. Just give them a money, all the helper will obey all the orders.

She laughed dryly.

Fillo should have been part of this family, if her relationship with Ray had been good from the start. It's sad that Fillo has to live with her in hardship.

Poor child.

She stroked Fillo's soft hair, unable to bear to shed a single tear.

Then, she patted her own cheeks and started to straighten her shoulders. No! She couldn't think about the constant feeling of regret. She has to go forward. She must! Until she can turn things around and make it difficult for Ray to suffer.

She sighed, and started to wake her son. But before she could, she heard a loud noise from the next room, like something had fallen. The sound was quite loud.

Oh.

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't there a room next to this room?"

Alexa got down and opened the door. At the same time the door to the next room also opened and someone came out from there. It was Ray, who came with his upper body without clothes, showing his strong and sturdy arms.

She looked at the bulging muscles from a close distance, seeing the soft glow of his skin reflected by the sunlight from the balcony, she discovered six packs of abdominal flesh forming.

It turned out the room next door is this bastard's room!

“Um, I heard something fall,” she smartly acted as usual, averting her eyes from the 'meat boxes'.

Ray's gaze was completely lost. "I accidentally knocked over the table lamp. Did I disturb your sleep?"

Alexa shook her head.

Ray's waking hair was very cute and adorable. His hair color was ash brown, which today was sticking out in all directions like it had been electrocuted. This image was very different from his hairstyle which is usually neat because of hair gel. Seeing him like this, made him look ten years younger.

She still averted her eyes. "Oh, did you hurt yourself again?"

"Wait a moment."

He seemed to know her movements, immediately retreated to go in and looked for something nearby to cover his body. Again, he accidentally dropped the glass on the table and his leg was scratched by several ceramic shards.

"Ouch! Shit!"

Alexa heard a small curse, then no more sound was heard.

She rolled her eyes and asked, "Ray, do you need help there?"

He replied, "Yes, please. Come in."

As soon as Alexa went inside, she saw red drops on the white floor of the room and some shards from the glass. The table lamp had actually fallen and was upside down on the floor and was still on. All the other corners were also a bit chaotic.

Ray had currently draped a long scarf over his shoulders and was sitting on the couch showing the soles of his injured feet.

"You don't need to come here, there's broken glass everywhere," he said.

It was true that broken glass was everywhere, but should she just keep quiet? She stubbornly advanced, wearing Ray's slippers that were lying nearby.

"Be careful, Lexa. Those sandals are thin, you could hurt your feet," he looked at her worriedly.

Alexa, "Will you be quiet? I'm trying to help a big baby who fell in his own room, okay? Why worry about other people when you're in trouble yourself?"

Being scolded suddenly like that, he kept silent.

She knew that this was her true nature, she didn't intentionally show it again this time, but she couldn't do anything about it. If this way annoyed him and her plan threatened to fail, she had other plans.

She has many backup plans for revenge anyways!

Before reaching him, she pulled the tissue paper on the table, glanced at the broken glass with a frown. "Can you call your housemaid?"

"I can't. If I shout, they won't hear."

Blame yourself why this house is so big!

When she was near him, she was surprised to see a scarf with a motif usually worn by women on the man's shoulder. She really wasn't wrong, that it was indeed a woman's scarf that she often saw in fashion magazines.

Does he have a hobby like that?

"This is my sister's, do I look strange wearing it?" Ray asked, realizing her little thoughts.

"You look handsome in anything, Mr. Sanders."

"Thank you." He smiled.

'I'm not complimenting you, okay?!' She shouted in her heart.

Now she focused on looking at the wounds on his feet, mostly just scratches and a few shards of glass that pierced his flesh.

Ray, "You can help pull out the glass for me."

It wasn't dangerous because it was just a small shard of glass, but she still didn't dare take the risk. After thinking about it, she said, "I'll call Dr. Ballmer."

When she looked up, his face was very close in front of her because he was looking down. From the wrong angle, it almost looked like they were kissing, because they were only one inch apart. She was stunned for a few seconds, then she quickly came to her senses and backed away. Her breathing almost stopped.

Ray realized that and fell into a daze. He immediately pulled the tissue in her hand. "It's nothing serious. Calling him would only make my ears suffer."

What does it mean?

Before she could digest that sentence, Ray had already pulled out the small fragment, and the blood didn't come out too much. He took a medicine box from the drawer and gave it to her.

"You should get a tetanus shot." She sighed, opened the med-kit and took out the saline liquid. "Isn't your health not good because your girlfriend 'cheated' on you?"

She deliberately emphasized the last three words of her sentence and made him curse Fran a thousand times.

"I'll do it later," he said, he watched her focus on treating his feet, thinking that in fact, not all of her actions were rude to a rude woman.

For example this; where there is a woman who is used to being rough and fierce, but is so gentle in touching his feet. The touch she left behind was both cold and hot; the two different types of feelings come together to spread a warm and sweet air.

And for the first time Ray felt his heart tremble because of a woman.
