The Abandoned Princess

Meeting Too Soon

Night in the mountains seems to come faster than anywhere else, perhaps because dense dense forests block the sun, even remnants of sunset light completely blocked outside the forest.

Dinner dishes in these mountains are so many, Lexie does not know what it is because there is Dexter, in short there are more than dozens of dishes on this small square table.

The master and the servant should not sit at the same table, so Dexter's servant sat with the old woman and Nolan at the other table, Lexie glanced at a glance, and the old lady sat down, although the table was different but the dishes on the table were equally nothing less, so Lexie had a good impression on this master Jason character.

In this age, there are very few people who can perform such actions, the concept of hierarchy is deeply embedded in people today.

"Son, you have to eat more, because you're pregnant, don't lose weight later and this kid comes back to account for me." Although Mr. Jason's words were not pleasant to hear, there was genuine concern about his words, when Mr. Jason spoke he put the fried fish in Lexie's bowl, "This little fish is caught by Nolan in the morning, because the river water is clear so the fish there have good quality, you eat more."

Lexie said thank you then took the fish and ate it, it did indeed taste very delicious.

Dexter smiled faintly, "Lexie, master Jason is a very good person, you can stay here quietly, there he is then you can give birth safely."

"Yes, thank you." Lexie no longer needed to travel, Lexie's relaxed face was much better, her skin was slightly flushed under the candlelight, plus her black eyes, Lexie was really very full of joy.

Dexter was glued to his eyes and unconscious for a long time, until master Jason coughed awkwardly, then Dexter just retracted his gaze and lowered his head to eat.

"Hey, you hurry up and go, seeing you like this I'm really very angry! If it wasn't for my friendship with your mother over the years, I wouldn't have helped you sort things out. This also makes it difficult for Miss Lexie who even has children but with your current condition you really can't give her status."

Lexie listens to master Jason's lecture, there is some doubt in her heart, when master Jason says it, Lexie stone recalls that Dexter used filial piety as an excuse not to marry a woman for many years, Lexie hears that even the Emperor has repeatedly tried to match her but is instead rejected by Dexter, now when listening to what Mr. Jason says, there seems to be something that Dexter cannot say.

But Lexie knew that there were some things she couldn't ask, so even if she asked what she got was a lie.

Sure enough, Dexter gave Mr. Jason an eye and then Mr. Jason just shut up and turned the subject to the food on the table.

The temperature in the mountains was rather cold, after they ate, the sky was already completely dark, there were only two lanterns in the courtyard that emitted a yellow light.

There was a small corridor in the courtyard, when Lexie saw Nolan sitting on the stairs and working on something, then Lexie walked up to him and sat nearby.

Nolan turned his head and saw it was Lexie then smiled brightly at him, "Sister, look at this grasshopper I made, is it good?"

Lexie glanced at the locust in Nolan's hands and then nodded, "Good."

"This I give to the sister in your stomach." Nolan handed the grasshopper to Lexie.

"Hehe ... Nolan smiled shyly then reached out his hand to touch Lexie's stomach, "I really want this sister to be born early in order to accompany me to play. Sis, you don't know I grew up on this mountain since I was a kid, I've never seen the outside world, and I've never played with other kids, I don't even have any friends, I don't even have any friends, if the sister in the belly is born then I should be a good friend."

When Nolan spoke there was a bright smile on his face, there was absolutely no feeling of sadness, but obviously what he said yes obviously made Lexie feel a little sad, it was hard for Lexie to imagine how Nolan who grew up in this kind of environment could be so cheerful.

Lexie clasped Nolan's hand and placed it on her stomach. Although the baby inside her stomach was still very small and could not feel her movements at all, unable to feel her presence, but Lexie touched her gently while clasping Nolan's hand, "surely when this baby sister comes out, she'll definitely love Nolan's sister."

"really?" Nolan's eyes filled with hope.

Lexie nodded firmly, "Yes!"

Lexie and Nolan sit on the stone steps and chat, Lexie tells Nolan stories of the outside world and also tells many fairy tales from modern times. When Nolan heard the story of the ugly duckling who was looking for his mother his face turned sad then Nolan finally said that he was also an ugly duckling who would one day go down the mountain to look for his mother.

They had no idea, in the corner of the house, Dexter stood and watched the two sitting side by side quietly, listening to the story told by Lexie with Nolan.

"You have good eyesight." Mr. Jason stood beside her, saying such words all of a sudden.

In the darkness, the corner of Dexter's lips lifted, just that the light was too dim, the smile seemed unreal and only himself knew there was bitterness in that smile, "He was really good, really good, unfortunately ..."

It's a pity that meeting her and Lexie isn't the time, if Dexter meets her when he's done with her, then Dexter will definitely cherish her, protect her, and live with Lexie forever, even what Lexie said she wanted one, Dexter can do it for her.

Too bad ... They met too soon.

Mr. Jason looked at her with unknown reason then he shook his head without saying anything. Mr. Jason sighed and stopped asking this question again and shifted the subject: "How do you plan on going?"

"Everything is going well, if there are no mistakes then it can already see results in three years." Dexter did not refuse to answer this question.

"Three years, can't be said long and fast, you take it easy before you act, the preparations behind this I will definitely do it for you." Mr. Jason patted Dexter on the shoulder and then turned around and said: "Okay, the heart is cold, hurry back to your room to rest."

Dexter nodded but his footsteps did not move, he was still staring at Lexie, the look was unbearable and pity on his face that even he himself did not even notice.

Why, why is he meeting Lexie at this point? How good would it be 3 years later?

Not knowing since when the wind had blown, Lexie realized that Nolan had already fallen asleep while leaning on her shoulder while listening to Lexie tell a story, Lexie laughed then shook her head preparing to hold Nolan back to the room, leaving her head in her arms, but he instead saw the sight before him suddenly darken.
