"Did you take Lexus to meet him?" asked Lis, instead of answering Ramon's question.
For now, she seemed to have lost her ability to analyze the situation and couldn't see how her eldest son really didn't care about other matters, anything but those related to his wife.
And Lis' question just now only fueled Ramon's emotions even further. He then slammed his hand on the table and made the middle-aged woman in front of him focus on the question he asked.
How could a mother think that; it was a good time to ask something else, which concerned herself rather than worrying about his son's wife who was pregnant with their first child?
It made no sense to Ramon at all and now his patience was running out. He didn't have time to answer damn questions about Leon and Lexus.
On the other hand, when Ramon slammed his fist against the table, Lis let out a low shriek while Lexus gasped, realizing that his brother was in no good mood to have a civilized conversation. No. He was in such a horrible mood, maybe if he didn't remember Lis was their mother, Ramon wouldn't even care if she's a woman…
"Where is Leon's property in town F?" Ramon asked the same question and in the same calm tone, only the look in his eyes couldn't possibly fool the emotions that were welling up inside him. He is furious beyond explanation…
The way Ramon looked at Lis was as if a predator was looking at its prey savagely.
"Mom, you have to tell him where Leon lives in F city, does he have a place in F city?" Lexus asked, trying to mediate between the two, a role he rarely played, especially between two people who had very strong characters and were almost always calm in every situation.
Lis looked like a lost person, confused and surprised because she didn't expect that Leon would go this far… hadn't she said many times that his dream for Lexus didn't match their son's character at all?
However, Leon didn't listen and took it this far.
"Mom, you have to tell me where Leon is hiding Hailee," Lexus persuaded Lis again, who still seemed shaken. Then he looked at Lis's laptop screen which was still showing the scene from last night's shooting, which was recorded on their home CCTV camera.
In fact, Lexus was stunned to see the scene that was displayed and couldn't say anything to justify what Lis said.
If indeed Leon is his father...
An indescribable pain coupled with shame hit Lexus again and he quickly pushed it to the back of his head because this wasn't the right time for that.
He would reflect on that later, after Hailee had been found and her safety had been ascertained.
Lexus will have plenty of time to resent that and ask Lis what really happened.
His mother owed him millions of explanations for what she has done...
"Mom!" Lexus shook Lis's hand, to get her attention, because he was worried that Ramon would do something crazy if his anger had completely taken over him.
Yes, Ramon is like their father. Both have exploding emotions and possessiveness in common about things.
Even though Lexus knew that Ramon wasn't as bad as their father who would throw his fists at anyone who made him angry, but no one could say for sure, because until now no one ever dared to try and test Ramon's anger level.
"I… I…" Lis stammered, she felt scared when she saw Ramon looking at her like that. She felt as if her husband had come back and judged her and when Ramon raised his hand to rub his own face roughly, Lis flinched, she thought he was going to hit her.
But no… this is Ramon, not her husband…
