"Baby, do you like my name so much?"
Lewis felt like he heard a loud gong rang in his ear with what she said. He blinked, trying to snap himself out of his shock.
"What… did you say?" he stammered, almost out of breath.
"You like my name so much and called me repeatedly… like a baby."
"Ah." Lewis nodded and covered his lips with the back of his hand, clearing his throat while his ear reddened. Why did that endearment have a different effect on him?
"See? It's unpleasant to be deemed as a child," Devon muttered cluelessly, as it seemed that flustered him. "Le… wis."
Her muffled remarks made him quirk a brow as he raised his head. "What?"
"Lewis." She puffed her cheek and averted her eyes, feeling a little strange calling him by his name.
"It sounds… nice." Lewis cleared his throat as he also averted his eyes when she shifted her gaze back on him.
