Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 433  As though

Alix braced back on the couch after sitting down then he exhaled deeply as the things that he was told and the ones that he had seen began running through his mind and he clenched his right fist then his eyes narrowed and the others looked at him then he glanced at them.

As they stared at Alix, he knew that even they had their questions since a good amount of truth had been discovered in just one day and he exhaled deeply before smiling a little.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Are you doing okay?" his team asked and he flinched a little due to how loud they were and he smiled at them.

"Yeah, I am perfectly fine, there will be a few things that will take time to process yes, but in due time that will be done, you guys don't have to worry so much," he responded and they exhaled deeply.

'I always had a feeling whenever Adora would bring certain things up, like I would get pulled towards it all and I always felt as though a lot of things were missing, I just couldn't get my mind around it but now that I have, it's something else...' Alix thought as the others smiled at him.

"Well, we are glad you are at least doing okay right about now," Aerav said.

"So am I, we hope with time, things can get better for you," Ayden added and Sarah nodded.

"They are right and you are strong, stay so," Sarah said and Alix smiled a little at them before sighing.

"Yeah, I will, thank you guys for your concern, I really appreciate it," He replied and they smiled at him, then looked around and just then Ifrit exhaled deeply before bracing his head back against the couch, while thinking about a few things.

"Alix, you are going to do what it takes, aren't you?" Ifrit asked, quietly since he was not sitting far from Alix and the young man glanced at him then scoffed.

"Why do you ask? Is there something wrong, Ifrit?" Alix asked and Ifrit chuckled, then raised his head up and looked at Alix.

"No, it's nothing, there is absolutely nothing wrong, it's the right way of thinking in times like these," Ifrit responded as his brows furrowed and Alix's eyes narrowed as he looked at him then noticed Ifrit began looking as though he was lost and Alix sighed.

'He is more experienced with these kinds of things than a lot of us here, but is there something bothering him?' Alix thought as they brought them dinner, then placed it on the table before them and everyone smiled.

"Come on, guys, don't you want to eat?" Zack asked and they smiled, then got up from where they threw themselves earlier and took a seat near the table.

As the others were getting ready to eat dinner, Adora stood in the balcony of their house, not far from the living room and she exhaled deeply, while looking at the night sky.

"Aren't you coming to eat dinner, Adora?" Nina asked as she approached her and Adora flinched a little, then she turned towards the girl and Nina smiled at her.

"Ah, yes I am," She responded and Nina peeked at her and she pulled back a little.

"What is it, Nina?" Adora asked and the girl sighed.

"I am just checking if you are okay as well, are you?" The girl asked and Adora smiled at her then patted her on her head.

"Don't worry, I am perfectly fine," she responded then Nina smiled and both of them went inside to join the others.

As Adora approached the food table, Alix glanced at her and she looked at him, then he smiled at her and she did the same, then Nina placed her to sit beside Alix and Adora looked at her and she grinned.

"Have a good meal," Nina said and Adora sighed, then the girl went to sit with Yan who chuckled when he saw what she did.

'I am hungry, I might as well eat,' Adora thought then she took her food and when she was finished, she grabbed a drink of choice, then smiled before thanking the others for the food and they bowed their heads and then left.

When Adora began eating her food, Alix glanced at her as he ate his then she mistakenly picked up his drink instead of hers and he looked at her then she drank it and exhaled deeply.

"Nice and refreshing, huh?" Alix asked and she nodded, then he smiled a little as she tasted the drink.

"The taste..." she mumbled, then looked at the drink she was having and sighed when she realized it was not hers and she looked at him and he glanced at her.

"Sorry," she said as she handed it to him, then his eyes narrowed as he leaned in a little closer to her as she continued eating her food.

"It's fine, you can have it if you like it that much," he said in a soft tone and his breath brushed against her neck and her cheeks flushed a little then she looked at him and he pulled back a little.

"Wh- What are you doing?" she asked and a smirk appeared on his face and her eyes narrowed, then she grabbed the drink from him and handed him hers.

"I will have it, there, happy?" she asked and he chuckled.

"I am fine with it, you like it so," he responded and her brows furrowed then she continued eating her food.

"Next time, be careful when doing certain things... Everyone is here," she mumbled and he heard her then she glanced at him and he smiled at her then continued eating his food without saying anything and she exhaled deeply with her cheeks a little flushed.

'Seriously, there are times in which I can't tell what he is thinking at all, he can be quite a puzzle, well, we will see, I wonder how much is going to change from now on,' she thought before lowering her head and at the very same time, Dral, as well as Yaron, entered the room and they looked at them then they smiled.
