Chapter 311
Lexi took a few steps back. As she did, she assured Luke, “Uncle Lake, mune systems isn’t powerful, so I can’t get too close to you when you’re sick. Mommy will be sad it i catch cold, and I don’t want to make her upset.”
Linda’s face showed her exasperation. She felt increasingly helpless when it came to Samson and Lexi.
Lexi was such an active and Evely child, and with Samson’s protection, she was particularly bold. Sometimes, her imaginative ideas could really catch Linda off guard.
“Good evening, Mr. Hunter. Have you had dinner? Samson asked with a smile, his dark eyes fixed on Lale. He casually grabbed same candles from the table and put them into Lexi’s pocket, although they had already cater
“I’ve already eaten,” Luke replied while trying to maintain a calm demeanor. “I bought you were just saying that in passing this afternoon, but I’m really touched that you brought Lexi to visit me,”
“We must keep our promise. Besides, Lexi likes handsome uncles,Samson said while patting text on the head
Lexi held one piece of candy in her hand and lept the rest in her pocket. She was determined not to let anyone take it.
She nodded. “Uncle Luke, I really think you’re handsome. You look even better than the incle Mommy took pictures of Last time, and you see more expensive, tou.” Then, the words “expensive” made everyone in the room laugh.
“Lexi, please tell me why you think I’m more expensive.” Luke’s interest was piqued.
Lexi tried to explain after thinking for a while, though it was clear that a three–year–old might not be able to articulate her thoughts perfectly.

“Zoey told me before that rich people’s things are more expensive, so I thinky
Her innocent and adorable comment made Luke laugh happily.
“Lexi is also very cute, and I like y
you a lot,” Luke said.
you must be more expensive too.”
Of course I’m cute! My mommy is super pretty, and any daddy is super handsome, so how could I not be cute?” Lexi replied.
Luke’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t expected her to say something like that.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Stanley.
Within half an hour, Stanley arrived at the hospital ward in a rush while carrying a box. He handed the box to Lexi, who was sitting on the couch, eating candy. “Ms. Lexi, this is a welcome gift from Mr. Hanter.”
Lexi blinked and was momentarily stunned as she looked at Lake, who was lying on the hospital bed.
“Uncle Lake, is this really for me?” Lexi could actually see that the box contained jewelry, as he often received such sulla gifts from Chor, but she needed to confirm it this one
was Inderd meant for her.
If so, she would accept it, but if not, she would return it. This was how Linda taught her to handle such matters.
