"You're staying over?" Ask Harry Lexi. They were walking on the white sand towards the house.
Harry tucked a towel over Lexi's shoulder. Both bodies are still wet. Daphne herself came home two hours ago. The woman said she would prepare dinner for them.
"of course. When else have a chance alone with you without anyone's supervision," Harry said with a naughty smile. In response to that, Lexi simply rolled her eyeballs. Harry was getting stifled.
"I swear, Isabel never did that." Lexi laughed. "How are you?"
"She regrets why you canceled your plans to come on vacation there. Isabel's been putting together a schedule to keep you company."
"Oh," Lexi groaned regretfully.
Madrid is the main destination for a vacation. Previously, he had also promised it to Mr and Mrs. Percy that he would bring the two saw the kingdom firsthand. The promise he made ten years ago when he was in Madrid. But as soon as he returned from Steve's funeral, he changed his mind. His promise could not be fulfilled to Percy's husband and wife.
"She's a very sweet girl. Too bad, Austin the fool turned him down."
"Then, what about you, Princess? Can you give me a chance?"
A question Lexi avoids very much but will always be asked by the man at every opportunity.
Lexi stopped her steps, and so did Harry. The two stood face to face, staring at each other. The man smiled warmly at her while closing the towel on Lexi's shoulder.
"Don't pressurize. I just asked," Harry joked. That's Harry, always making things look like a joke when Lexi looks tense. The man didn't want to burden Lexi at all.
Although Harry was eager to question Lexi as his wife, it did not mean that he had to impose his will. Lexi just didn't dare to make up her mind yet, the girl hadn't rejected it either. The opportunity is clearly still there. Harry just needs to be more patient. Is it not patiently always sweet? Harry believed that.
"You're a very nice man."
"Yes, I know. For that I will fight even harder and wait longer until you are ready! Waiting is my forte." Harry glanced at the joke, but he was serious about it. He had already fallen in love with Lexi when he first saw her in their palace. Since then, he has not been able to see other women. In his eyes were only Lexi and Lexi. Just as Lexi rejected every proposal that came to her, Harry did the same. Refusing applications from other governments. Her mother often arranges blind dates for her. Gosh, since when did a prince follow that trend. In order to please his mother, he occasionally meets the blind date and nothing goes smoothly.
"You stay where you are. Look at my fight."
To be honest, Lexi was feeling bad. Harry is a very kind and sincere man. The man's family loved him too. Lexi doesn't even doubt her happiness when it comes to guys like Harry. It's just that it's unfair that only the man struggles and tries to make her happy while Lexi realizes that she can't give Harry what he wants. Hearts, feelings. If only her heart were to thump a little while with Harry, Lexi would quickly accept the man's feelings. He will nurture the vibration in his heart to become as hot as heck. But in fact, there was no vibration at all. Wouldn't the forced relationship end up being so miserable? Lexi didn't want that to happen.
Harry is a very handsome, tall, charming man and rich. Everything a woman wants is for Harry. But, back to the classic phrase, love cannot be forced.
"Harry's..."
"There was no protest. Let's go home. You're cold." The man clasped his hands and Lexi seemed to see Darren doing it. Tell me, is it possible that he could fall in love with a man he already considers like his own brother?

"We're home! Mom, Harry's here. Had Dad gone home." his sentence hung as soon as he saw his mother crying in his father's arms. What the hell's going on? Thought the girl.
Giovani unravels his embrace. He looked at Lexi as well as Harry, looking at the hands of the two who were clinging to each other. He took a heavy breath, as if he was nothing like the globe that bore the world on his shoulder.
Lexi approached the couple. He never saw Mrs. Percy was crying in addition to missing Steve.
"Mom misses her?" Lexi rubbed Mrs' back. Percy is soft. The middle-aged woman was crying. "Would we go home. You may miss him a lot. We'll visit him once we get home."
All the words that came out of Lexi's mouth made Daphne roar even more.
"Mother" Lexi's getting infected. He pulled Daphne into his arms. "Don't cry like this. You make me sad. I think we should go home." His crying began to break.
Daphne shook her head, "Mom's fine. Why are you crying?"
"Because you're crying."
"Stupid." His mother wiped her tears. "Mom's fine. Believe it."
The woman lied. Yeah, what else can Daphne say. She herself still had a hard time believing what her husband had told her that their son was alive and in good health nothing less. She had not met Steve whom her husband said was still alive. How could? His brain is unable to think about it. If he was shaken enough by this news, then how did Lexi react so diligently to visit the tomb of their son?
"I don't see you're okay. What's going on, tell me?"
"There's nothing. Your father and I had a little quarrel. He didn't get any fish at all."
Lexi's not a kid who can believe the lies that Daphne just told her. But he chose to believe the lie because he knew his mother did not want to share the story.
"Gosh, at least you can buy us some fish, Dad. But by the way, why did you come home?"
"Fishing alone is unattractive. Ah, Prince Harry, why are you standing there, come here."
The two men shook hands with each other.
"Sit down, I'll make you some coffee. And Lexi, you better get to the room. Replace your clothes with warmer ones. Or maybe you want a warm bath? Your mother will help you prepare warm water. Daphne, take Lexi to her room."
The two women leave their father with Harry.
"Will you provide warm water?"
"No, Mother. You're wet from hugging me, too. You better change your clothes. I can take care of my needs."
"Alright then," Daphne went into the room. So did Lexi.
"How was your date today?"
Lexi was in shock. Before he could shout, Steve had pulled Lexi's hand to turn around and pushed the girl's body to the door. Steve also covered his mouth with his hands before Lexi could scream, squeezing Lexi's body with her stocky body.
"You have a boyfriend, but you're dating another guy. Is it fun to make me jealous?"
