Chapter 52 Come, lemme give you a pa (1/2)

5 days had passed since Ethan recuperate at the Yang Residence. In those days, Ethan and Lexi's friendship somehow progress and Lexi was quite comfortable with him.

Peering at the peaceful garden through the mirror from the guest room, Ethan had a subtle smile on his face. In the span of five days, Ethan neither felt bored nor had the urge to go out to have some fun.

For some reason, he felt content just staying at one place. But this place or rather, the people living in this peaceful manor was what he had been seeking for.

The Yang residence might be twice as small as the Lu Mansion, alas, to Ethan, it was much better, warmer and peaceful.

”This is what a home should be…” he mumbled recalling all the meals and interaction he had with Lexi's parents; and with her.

They never treated him as an outsider and did welcomed him with sincerity and their full genuineness without any ulterior motives. Ethan Lu was the observant type of person, hence, he knew when a person had other agenda when approaching him. Yet, he had a habit of instead of shooing those people away, he'd play with them until he had enough fun before delivering them to their doom.

Moreover with his social status, Ethan met tons of those kinds and he could tell that Lexi and her parents weren't those types of people.

Thinking about his best buddy Morris Liu, he chuckled. ”Ay, my brother, tsk tsk tsk -- you did waste this good deal.”

Ethan Lu had always admired Morris Liu. Therefore, he was quite disappointed that he didn't see the diamond on his side and picked up a normal stone instead.

Indeed, from his perspective, the only flaw in Morris Liu was having that little lover of his. Even so, as long as Morris Liu wanted Mia Chen to be by his side, then, he couldn't care less -- he wouldn't understand 'love' anyway or so, he thought.

Ethan wasn't a good or bad person. He does what he thinks is right and apologize if it was wrong; he lives as simple as that.

Still, part of him, in the deepest and most desolate part of his heart, he was grateful that Morris Liu and Lexi Yang cancelled their long engagement. If it weren't for that fact and Lexi's unstable mentality months ago, Ethan won't be where he stood now.

Therefore, all is good. He gained a friend, a good auntie and uncle that were willing to welcome him if he ever wanted to visit again.

A faint knock from the outside snapped Ethan back front his trance. Turning his head to the door, Lexi's bare yet gorgeous face entered his current room. As usual, she didn't close the door and left it wide open.

Seeing her unconcealed smiling eyes, Ethan Lu bit his lower lip -- repressing himself from grinning. He was surprised that in contrast of her intimidating arrogant look, that she always bore, Lexi was much kinder than he thought she was.

If it wasn't for the incident a few days ago, Ethan Lu knew that it was impossible to get this close to her. Thanks to his luck this time, he could see this side of her.

”I did it.” Lexi announced attempting to conceal the victorious smile on her face albeit she failed.
