Alexander began to move his face closer to her face again but the water suddenly stopped falling.
“Oh, it looks like the rain stopped,” he said as he looked up and Abigail finally returned to reality.
As Alex let go of her, Abi touched her own lips as her face started to fill with wonder and disbelief as she continued gazing up at him.
Alexander was amused with her expression and the corners of his lips curved up. However, before he could say a word, the sound of something smashing to the ground attracted his attention.
He looked at the source of the sound and saw that one of the maids had dropped an expensive antique vase. However, Alexander didn’t even crease his brows or get upset at the incident. It was because his eyes didn’t just see that his butler and maids we’re all drenched, his eyes also finally caught sight of the two guests who were standing by the door with their hair and clothes also dripping with water as if they had jumped into a lake with clothes on.
The men who were still in their pajamas all just stood there, looking at the couple in utter disbelief.
However, one of them had remained as cool as ever. Ezekiel Qin was the only one who was not drenched. He was standing by the fireplace, coolly holding a black umbrella, as he watched the scene with a blank expression.
All Alexander did upon realizing the situation was clear his throat. He nonchalantly looked at the little lamb before him and began to order her.
“Little lamb, your request has been granted. Now go upstairs and take a proper bath,” he told her and Abi finally moved her head around.
Once she spotted drenched people looking at the two of them in utter shock, Abi felt like her face began to blaze and before she knew it,
“Okay,” she replied as she dashed towards the grand staircase.
Alexander watched the little lamb ascending the stairs without turning back and a playful smile curved on his lips.
The dumbstruck people finally moved. The butler signaled the maids to move and start the clean-up.
Oh god, they felt like a super typhoon just flooded the entire house! This will take some time to clean up! Everything was drenched with water just like that…’Master, you’re too much… T^T You should’ve at least warned us.’
“Alex, you… What the hell, man? Some warning would have been appreciated!” Xavier was the first to burst out. “I can’t believe you of all people would actually do something as crazy as this! I understand you are doing this for your princess but you should’ve at least warned us of this impending typhoon. Look at us!” he complained and Alex just raised a brow at him.
“Crazy? I don’t think so. It would be crazier to wait for the rain. Besides, you guys should be thankful, you got a shower without doing anything.”
“. . .”
“And don’t blame me, you two were just slowpokes. Look at Zeke,” he smirked at them and when the two looked at Zeke, Xavier burst out again.
“Alex, how could you warn Zeke, but not us?! There’s no way he could have prepared his umbrella if you didn’t!”
“Why would I bother informing him?”
“Stop lying! And Zeke, close your damned umbrella already, will you?!”
Alexander and Ezekiel ignored Xavier. Alex just started walking towards the stairs while Ezekiel just gave the umbrella to one of his men.
The moment Alex put his foot on the first step, he heard Xavier’s words. “Kai, did you see how he kissed her? You’ve seen how Alex usually kisses girls, right? Why did he give her such a simple kiss?”
Alexander halted and looked at Xavier who was obviously talking loud enough for Alex to hear him.
“Xavier, have you ever tasted fruit that was forced open before its time? I don’t want to force my little fruit open like that because if I do, she’ll end up tasting bad,” he smirked and he nonchalantly ascended the stairs.
Xavier: “. . .”
Abigail sprinted into her room and shut it behind her. She leaned on it for a while with a dazed expression, as if her thoughts were a million miles away from her body.
The scene that happened just moments ago kept replaying in her head like a movie. To her, it was much more overwhelming than any movie she ever watched and anything she had ever imagined.
She remembered how his lips felt when it first landed on hers and her heart just wouldn’t stop trying to jump from inside her chest, as if it was currently playing a game of jump ropes.
Touching her lips, Abi mumbled.
“So that’s how a kiss feels.”
She thought that it was truly so wonderful and magical.
She immediately ran to the bedside table and took out her wishlist notebook. She only just noticed that her room was actually still dry when her hair dripped water on top of the bedside table. When she saw that, she then looked around her room in shocked surprise. She thought that the whole mansion would have been drenched but maybe the sprinklers only activated on the floor that the fire alarm was triggered on.
Pulling her attention back to what she was doing, she opened her notebook and she couldn’t stop smiling as she marked off the third item off her list. She briefly thought that she should do something to thank Alex for the surprise. Her first kiss was very much better than what she had ever dreamed of.? She then took out her other diary and started frantically writing down her first kiss experience before she forgot even the tiniest detail.
She spent a good time on that before heading to the shower to get ready for work. There was a dreamy look and a wide smile on her face the entire time and her heart was still thumping wildly the whole time. She had to take a few deep breaths and forcefully stop herself from picturing it over and over again before her heart finally calmed down.
Once she settled down her heartbeat, she left her room and headed downstairs. As she walked down the staircase, the scene slowly came into view. Her mouth dropped and her eyes gradually widened at the mess! The room was like a scene from the movie, Jumanji, where the house was suddenly flooded, though everything was still in their right places, just drenched. She saw the maids working hard to dry off the furniture and she felt guilty.
She apologized and picked up a mop and started to help with the clean up but the servants politely asked her to stop, saying she was an honored guest and it would put their household to shame if they let her do such a thing. She felt that the maids prided themselves on their work from what they said and so she reluctantly let the mop go.
