Chapter 123 The confession of the jerk (1/2)

After they finished the main course, Lexi and Ethan were served with the restaurant's signature pudding for dessert. Throughout the late dinner, they only talked every once in a while albeit always ended with an 'I see' and 'is that so?'.

Lexi dwelled on Ethan's proposal in his mind as she was reminded of her historic past. All her life, her main goal was to marry Morris Liu. Of course, that wasn't a secret to everyone as she never felt ashamed of it.

However, after everything that had happened, Lexi never sees herself in a romantic relationship with anyone just yet; what more get married. It's not that she was still holding on with Morris Liu but to her, she wanted to be in a relationship when she was complete again.

Yet, around Ethan, she felt as if she was standing at the edge of a cliff while he was on the ground; smiling and urging her to jump.

”This is frustrating…” Lexi murmured that was audible enough for him to hear. Upon hearing her remarks, Ethan froze.

'I knew it! I frustrate her!' He grumbled inwardly as dejection began to surround him. He messed up. Though he was already satisfied with her presence around him and even accompanied him to dinner, Lexi might think differently.

”I -- I'm sorry. I had many thoughts in mind and I ended up wasting your time.”

Lexi glanced at his dispirited eyes yet, he was trying hard to smile to conceal his emotions. So, does this mean he didn't intend to confess to her? She should be relieved, right? Then, why does she feel otherwise?

After that, another round of silence as only the clanging sound of their utensils and plates resounded across the four corners of the room.

”Oh my god… this is boring! So boring!” Churu who was dismayed to the core shouted. She thought something entertaining might happen after Lexi read Ethan's mind but to no avail, she remained her lips zipped and talk to herself! Just what are these two doing? Should she pull another trick for a romantic scene?

”Lexi…” Ethan Lu gently put down his spoon as he raised his longing gaze across him. They were together since earlier but Ethan felt that he was wasting her time. After all, she should be resting by this time but she still went there.

He had so many things to say to her but he doesn't know where to start in the first place. Granting that Ethan had already decided to pursue her, alas, the moment she was in front of him, he could not help his heart but to throbbed uncontrollably.

He was too focused on his nervousness and his feelings instead of making her feel very uncomfortable. Hence, he couldn't let this go on.

Gulping a mouthful of saliva, Ethan Lu heavily exhaled. He raised his gaze once again and immediately caught her pair of unreadable eyes.

Just straightly looking at her, Ethan's tumultuous mind suddenly calmed down as if he took some muscle relaxing pills. Since earlier, he could only glance at her like a shy teenager boy, afraid to approach his crush.

But staring at her like this, his gaze softened and a subtle smile formed on the side of his lips. His stiff shoulder gradually relaxed as he heaved a heavy sigh.

”Did you know that I don't remember every single girl I dated?”
