Chapter 101: 101 101: Sharp look

In the dining room.

The glass orb table was full of food which Novie prepared by herself, even though the triplets and Ken are both enjoying the food, the frowns that Alexa is giving to her uncle is making her uncomfortable.

"One more please" Alexa handed the plate to Novie's direction which was opposite to her while giving her Uncle a sharp gaze.

Novie sighed and accepted and plate, while she's putting the food on Alexa's plate, she keeps on staring at Alexa who didn't bother to blink while glaring at Ken, but the man was not bothered at all. He had his attention focus at his food, ignoring the savage look Alexa was giving to him.

"Ethan and Leo, can Alexa sleeps with you?" she asked.

Ken's apartment has two bedrooms, they were using the room with the balcony while the other was used once they have a guest.

"No. She doesn't want to sleep with us." Ethan replied.

Novie nodded and looked at Ken when their eyes met, she plastered an awkward smile.

"No Novie. We can't let her sleep with us. She can sleep with her brother" Ken whispered.

Novie creased her brows, she has something else in her mind.

"No, but maybe we can buy a couch that we can switch as a bed in the night, then Alexa can sleep in our room" she whispered back, as she said those words, Ken's face went blank.

"This is my apartment, I am not going to sleep on the couch" Ken replied in a deep voice.

Novie hardened her face and replied back, "You want to move out? I think your mother has a lot of rooms for you" she threatened.

At that moment, Ken went back to his food, "Fine but I want a very soft sofa bed, I don't want to have back pain" Novie nodded as a response.

After she put Alexa's plate on the table, she leaned closer to Ethan that was sitting beside her.

"Doesn't she get tired of glaring at Ken?" she whispered.

"No, I think they are having a cold war. Don't worry, one of them will surrender soon" hearing it, Novie bites her lips to prevent herself from laughing.

The air around is heavy, Ken still ignores the sharp eyes of Alexa while the girl tries to hard to kill her uncle with her gaze.

(When are they going to finish this?) she asked herself while washing the plates. Leo and Ethan were helping to wash the dishes while Ken and Alexa sat on the couch, but even in distance, she could see Alexa's round eyes glaring at her Uncle.

"Aunt Novie, we have a class in one hour" Ethan spoke.

Novie widened her eyes in surprise when she remembers the triplet's schedule for today.

"Change your clothes" she quickly said. The two boys got down from the chair they used to reach the sink and ran to one of the room.

"Alexa, are you not going to change your clothes?" she asked as she walked in the living while drying her hands.

Alexa didn't responded but, she got up from the couch. Novie poker her face when Alexa marched backward while glaring at Ken.

"Alexa, be careful," she reminded the small girl, if she keeps on walking backward, sooner or later, the girl will hit the piano but, the girl didn't reply. Her eyes were still glaring at her uncle and she wonders if she ever blinked.

BAM!

Novie and Ken looked at Alexa's direction when they heard the sound, they both paled when they saw Alexa sitting on the floor while holding her head.

"Oh my God! did you hit the piano?" Novie ran to her direction while asking her a question.

"yes," the girl spoke in a broken voice.

"Is my piano all right?" Ken spoke. Novie turned back to face him and parted her lips to say 'SHUT UP'

"This will not happen if you're not staring at me!" Ken shifted his eyes to Alexa and scolded her.

"It's because of you" Alexa yelled back.

"How is this my fault? Do I have your eyes? Why are you staring at me" Ken replied but in a muffled tone.

"Because I didn't saw you for so long time" she yelled again.

Novie rose an eyebrow, she thought Alexa was staring at Ken because she's angry but, seems like the little girl was only missing her uncle.

"but… the way you stares at me… it's like you want to skin me alive" Ken replied.

"That's how mommy stares at daddy when she wants daddy to hug her. Why can't you do that too?" Alexa got up while yelling at Ken.

Ken wipes all of Alexa's saliva on his face, "Do you need to spit at me?" Ken shook his head.

"I am angry so it's normal" Novie could see a vein popping in Alexa's neck as she speaks, the girl's face reddened in embarrassment.

"How is it normal?" Ken smirked which made Alexa furious.

"I don't know but I am sure there's a scientific explanation" Alexa covered her lips as she yelled, preventing the rain.

Both Novie and Ken were holding their laugh, Alexa was so embarrassed but Ken continued on teasing her.

"What is the explanation?" he asked while pretending to wipe his face again.

"Why are you asking me? Do I look like a google? Why don't you ask Ethan hmp!" Alexa rolled her eyes and entered the bedroom.

When Alexa disappeared. Ken slumped his body to the floor while laughing.

"Did you see her face, it was like, God!" Ken keeps on giggling while rubbing his stomach, tears formed in his eyes while his cheeks flushed.

"Are you having fun?" Novie spoke in a deep voice, she could not believe that Ken embarrassed Alexa in front of her.

"Yes. Oh my God! I can't remember the last time I laughed like this" Ken got up as he speaks.

"You gonna have to apologize to her Ken." she reminded him.

Ken looked at her with his forehead furrowed in confusion, "Why?"

Novie was stunned, seems like Ken has no idea why Alexa was acting like this.

"Because you didn't invite her to our dinner party and she just told you that she wants you to hug her but, instead you teased her. Now, go and apologize" Novie pushed his body towards the door.

"I need to go now or I will be late to my work" Ken frost his body which made it hard for Novie to push him.

"What late? Your office is only one jump away and you're the boss, no one will fire you. Apologize now or I will sleep in Alexa's room and you can sleep alone in the living room" hearing those words, Ken clicked his tongue and entered the bedroom.

Through the small open space of the door, Novie overheard their conversation.

Ken: Alexa I am sorry… I will buy you ice cream later.

Alexa: Ice cream? Do I look like a kid that you can corrupt with ice cream?

Ken: Aren't you a kid?:

Alexa: –

Novie silently chuckled.

Alexa: I will forgive you in one condition.

Ken: What is it?

(No!) Novie wanted to interrupt them, she had seen this scene before and she knows that Alexa will walk out of the room with a victorious smile.

Alexa: I will tell you once the time comes.

Novie ran to the couch and sat down when she heard Ken's footstep leaving the room. When she looked at him, worried was flashed all over his face.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" she asked.

Ken sat next to her and clenched his chest, "I don't know why but, I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen"
