Chapter 22: WEDDING INVITATIONS

In truth, what Lexus witnessed was not what his tainted brain projected.

What Lexus saw was Hailee sitting on Ramon's lap and her brother who was whispering something into Hailee's ear, their faces close enough to make Lexus draw another assumption.

"I don't see anything. I didn't see anything, "said Lexus as he closed his eyes with his palms and turned away his body.

Meanwhile, Hailee, who was surprised to hear Lexus' voice echoing so loudly, immediately intended to get off Ramon's lap, but this annoying man pushed Hailee's head so that it would rest on his shoulder and held her body so that she could remain in his arms.

Unexpectedly, Hailee's body was so tiny. Ramon didn't realize it until now because usually Hailee would always wear clothes that tend to be baggy.

"What are you doing here?" Ramon asked, without letting Hailee go, he then whispered into Hailee's ear teasingly. "Can you be quiet? You could awaken a dangerous 'something'. "

Hearing this, Hailee closed her eyes, grimaced but stopped moving.

Seeing how submissive Hailee was after such one word of teasing, made Ramon smile a little.

"I came here because neither you nor Hailee picked up the phone at all. Mom is in another city on business and is worried that you won't take care of your health," Lexus said, as he turned around to face them and parted his fingers while peeking through the gaps, to see if the couple's position had changed. Apparently not." Can you guys stop making out in front of me?" grumbled Lexus, turning his back once again, so as to avoid seeing the two of them being all chummy.

"You can go outside so as not to see this," replied Ramon indifferently. "I didn't ask you to come."

Annoyed, Lexus stomped his feet and turned his body, his forehead frowned slightly when he saw Hailee position who was still on Ramon's lap.

"I came here because I was worried about you, who would have thought that both of you were actually enjoying your special time together." Lexus grumbled, folding his arms childishly. "Who knows if you are healthy enough to be alone with her. Can't you wait for the next two weeks for your wedding? "

"About that…" Hailee wanted to turn the marriage down and say that she needed time to think it through, or say any other reason that she thought might make sense.

However, Ramon stopped her words by covering her mouth and rested his chin on top of Hailee's head. "Now or later, she will be mine. So it's the same. "

Lexus took a step back when he heard Ramon's bold statement. "Bro, I didn't expect you to have this side to you ..." he approached Ramon and looked at his only brother while saying, "You just lost your memory for the past four years, right? You didn't change your personality, or did you? "

Hailee who heard that rolled her eyes dramatically. How could someone change personality? Maybe Lexus just never saw the real side of Ramon when he was with women.

Shaking off the hand that was covering her mouth and pushing Ramon's body away, Hailee finally managed to free herself from the entanglement of Ramon's burly arms and jumped down from his lap.

"I'm going to make dinner for Ramon, have you eaten? If not, I'll make more, "said Hailee, changing the topic of Lexus' conversation.

"Making dinner?!" Lexus stared, startled. "You can cook?"

Hailee rolled her eyes dramatically. "Of course."

But, before Lexus could question Hailee any further, Ramon had already cut their conversation short. "No, he's not going to eat with us."

"No, no. Of course I want to eat!" said Lexus, who then went straight to Hailee and pulled her hand, as if they were two familiar people. "What can you cook? Fried rice?Omelet? Boiled eggs?"

While mentioning all types of trivial dishes, Lexus pushed Hailee's body out of the room and the girl just frowned at Lexus who underestimated her cooking skills.

On the other hand, Ramon was looking at the two of them with a look full of meaning and only he himself could understand what kind of plan was brewing in his brilliant head.

***

Ramon and Lexus watched Hailee cooking from the barstools near the kitchen counter, where they were sitting currently.

If the two brothers had any doubts about Hailee's cooking skills, then after seeing how skillful the girl was with a knife and moving so deftly while cleaning fish and chopping some vegetables, Ramon and Lexus could no longer doubt it.

Even the three maids standing on the other side of the clean kitchen stared at Hailee in amazement.

'Is this the future mistress of this house? Where did this girl come from? Which family did this girl come from?' those were some of the questions swirling in the minds of the servants, whose presence was something Hailee didn't need right now, because she could handle everything on her own.

"Bro, where can you get a girl like this?" Lexus looked at Hailee in amazement. "She is the first woman to cook in this kitchen apart from the servants."

And what Lexus said was true. All this time, the only women who came to the main house were Ramon's business partners and it was highly unlikely that they would ever touch the kitchen.

"I don't remember anything, remember?" Ramon sipped the tea in his cup while waiting for the dish Hailee was cooking.

"Ah, that's right ..." Lexus patted his forehead quite hard. He had forgotten that his brother was actually experiencing amnesia now. What else can he do? He didn't look like an amnesic person at all, his brain was still very sharp in running the business even after losing five years of his memory. "You hit the jackpot by getting a girl like her."

Ramon did not respond to Lexus' words. If his younger brother had known, what kind of jackpot Ramon had found. No, he didn't. Hailee was the one who came to him without coercion.

"She is young, beautiful, can cook ... and seems obedient too ..." murmured Lexus. "The type of girl you would rarely meet at times like this, especially in our neighborhood."

"Hm," murmured Ramon. "The food may not necessarily match to my tastes"

Lexus looked at his brother while raising his eyebrows, when he did that, the similarities between them were obvious. "You're right… but, looking at the cooking technique, I'm sure the taste definitely lives up to expectations."

"Let's wait and see." Ramon drank his tea again.

"Oh, yes bro. Are you serious about your wedding plans? Mother almost had a heart attack when I said that," Lexus remembered how Lis scolded him.

How could Ramon had the privilege to decide on his marriage on whim, but instead he got scolded?! Really, not fair ...

Ramon didn't answer the question right away, he stared at Hailee for a moment before nodding. "I want only a few people to be invited."
