Chapter 347: MY LOVELY HUSBAND
Lexus thought that Ramon's arrival this time was to scold him for being irresponsible and troublesome.
Because after all, they were currently in serious trouble, and he was leisurely wasting time drinking until he was dead wasted.
Just a few moments ago, Lexus finally remembered how Ramon and Hailee picked him up. It must be a woman named Candice whose face he didn't remember, who had called the two of them to pick him up, since she was Hailee's friend, so it was certain that she had her sister-in-law's phone number.
"Hey, I know I'm wrong for drinking too much, but don't scold me just yet… my head still hurts," Lexus whined. "I didn't get enough sleep, my throat hurts and my head feels like it's going to explode."
Lexus started behaving childishly in front of Ramon, so that his cold and fierce brother would feel sorry for him and cut him some slack.
Even Lexus' face, which looked slightly refreshed while he chatted with Hailee, now looked sluggish, like someone with anemia.
"Poor me, okay?" asked Lexus. "I will come to the office this afternoon. Just give me some more time to sleep."
Lexus had said dozens of words, while Ramon had not said a single word, but Ramon being silent was far more terrifying than when he shouted angrily.
Sometimes, Lexus couldn't understand how Ramon could pull that on people.
"Rest today," said Ramon. He then stretched out his hand and felt Lexus' forehead. "Your fever has gone down," he said.

Did he hear wrong? How could Ramon be so gentle with him? Not that Ramon treated him harshly, but this was very, very rare, in fact, Ramon almost never showed this side of him to Lexus.
Moreover, he had just checked his temperature.
Ugh! Ramon's treatment was so sweet!
"I love you my brother..." said Lexus with sparkling eyes.
However, it didn't leave the effect he wanted, because after that Ramon answered curtly. "If you can joke like that, you'd better come with me to the office now."
Immediately, Lexus lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket up to his chin, and acted like an obedient child.
"I'm sick," he whined again.
Seeing his younger brother's behavior, Ramon couldn't help but sigh. How could Ramon ask how he felt and how he was coping now, when Lexus was acting so ridiculously? It felt like the mood that was built did not match the topic he was going to talk about.
What Ramon wanted to convey was a slightly sensitive matter and it didn't seem like now was the right time.
"Really, I'm sick." Lexus confirmed his condition when Ramon just stood there staring at him. Ugh! If he kept doing that, Lexus was sure that he would really fall sick...
Ramon finally averted his gaze from Lexus and took his cell phone out from his trouser pocket, while Lexus just watched him silently.
After a moment of quick browsing, Ramon gave his cell phone to his brother. "The news about you is all over the internet."
At first, Lexus did not understand what Ramon meant, but as soon as he read the news that had just been published a few hours ago, he saw his photo with a woman, in a parking lot.
In the photo, it could be clearly seen that Lexus was so drunk that he needed the woman's help to carry him into a car. Not only that, his appearance looked very messy in the photo.
As someone who was flamboyant, Lexus never had an appearance that looked so inappropriate, so he scowled.
"Those reporters…" he hissed unhappily. "Can't they take a better picture of me? I'm like someone who doesn't have a home here," he grumbled.
Hearing Lexus' response, Ramon reached out his hand and smacked his younger brother's head until he roared in pain.
"Ramon! That hurts you know!" he cried as he rolled away from his cruel brother. He then rolled to the other end of the bed, hugging the pillow, as if it was his defense against Ramon. "You hurt me! Hu Hu Hu…."
Ramon didn't really respond to the strange behavior of Lexus and chose to leave for the office immediately, because he had other things to do.
He then walked around the bed and approached Lexus, while the latter immediately hid under the covers, thinking that Ramon was going to hit him again, but his older brother just took his cell phone back which he was still holding.
"Don't let the scandal escalate," said Ramon before he left Lexus' room. "We already have a lot of scandals to deal with, don't add any more."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I didn't mean to add to the trouble," Lexus grumbled, groaning. But, somehow he knew that he had indeed added trouble for Ramon.
"You don't need to get involved with Leon's business, you just take care of your problem," Ramon said before he closed the door of Lexus' room and left his brother alone.
Seeing the closed door, Lexus sighed heavily. He then looked up at the ceiling of his room.
It seemed he had to talk to the girl. At least he owed her an apology and a thanks.
It must have been very troublesome to take care of his drunk a** last night. However, he didn't know how to contact her, until his brain recalled something Hailee had said, that the girl was her friend.
=================
"Yeah, I'll stay at home for the night and come back the next day..." Hailee said over the phone to Ramon.
For some reason Ramon kept asking this as if a few seconds later she would change her mind and return to the Tordoff residence instead. Even though Hailee wanted to, she couldn't do that…
She had things to take care of the next day at the company and it would be very difficult if she had to commute from the Tordoff residence because it was so far away.
"Sure, I won't forget." Hailee smiled, finding this side of Ramon, worrying about her, very cute. Her husband could be so adorable… "Okay."
Then the phone line was cut off, but only after Ramon made sure that she would not go anywhere without an escort and always put her safety first, even though she said it in a cold tone…
But not long after that she got a call from Lexus.
"Why is your phone busy for so long?" Lexus grumbled impatiently.
"Because I'm talking with my beloved husband," Hailee replied in an exaggerated tone, irritating Lexus effortlessly.
