After a long silence, Nina grew increasingly puzzled when Lex still did not respond.
"You... don't want to?" she asked carefully.
Lex immediately shook his head.
Of course he wanted to. How could he possibly not want to?
The problem was that he did not know what he should do.
After yearning for this chance for so long, Nina had finally decided to give him an opportunity. Yet now...
And still, he could not bring himself to let it go.
He had dreamed of this moment for far too long.
"Then do you want to try?" Nina asked again.
Lex gazed at her quietly.
In the end, the temptation proved impossible to resist.
He nodded.
There was simply no way he could refuse.
Just this once, let him be selfish.
Even if he was destined to leave, he wanted to leave with one beautiful memory he could treasure forever.
"Then let's start today," Nina said with a smile. "We'll take the little ones to the beach and spend the day together."
Lex nodded.
