Alexei stared at the bathroom door, listening to the shower sound with an indescribable expression.
What should I do?
Although he had expected Elijah to protest, he hadn't expected such stubbornness.
How should he deal with it? Alexei didn't want to make Elijah uncomfortable. He was very well aware that he was being hasty.
But his family was even more impatient!
Knowing them, they'd never sit still for long. Especially his youngest sister. She was even more troublesome than his entire family.
As he paced in the bedroom, his gaze fell on the closed door again. Then he stilled.
The sound of water seemed to be amplified in his ears as if played by loudspeakers only for him.
His lips were pressed together, and his blue eyes had a layer of darkness hidden in their depths.
The way his jaw was clenched gave him an aura of sternness. If someone saw him in this state, they would think he was brooding over a major business deal.
