Chapter 153 Hey heart, tone it down! (1/2)

The next day…

Since Lexi fell asleep rather late after lecturing Churu and her unstoppable mouth, she felt groggy and grumpy when she woke up.

Glancing at the time, her eyes widened seeing that it was already ten in the morning. Remembering that she and Ethan Lu agreed that he'd pick her up at ten, Lexi immediately sat on her bed with a shocked look plastered across her face.

Without further ado, Lexi hopped out of bed as she dashed towards the window of her room where she could see the mansion's driveway. And there, a flashy orange sports car stood among the rest of their luxury cars because of its bright color -- it was Ethan's!

”He's here!” She panicked before Lexi sprinted towards the bathroom inside her room.

On the other hand, Churu has already changed the dress she was wearing last night to a new one and slowly peeled off the facial mask on her face. Seeing that Lexi was running around early in the morning through the vanity mirror, Churu only shook her head as she refrained her mouth from saying anything. After all, she just got in trouble last night because of it.

”She's so stubborn.” Churu sighed before she resumed arranging her cute headband.

Scanning at all her clothes, Lexi kept on stomping her right foot while her arms wrapped around her upper abdomen. She was still in a bathrobe and her hair had just been slightly blow-dried. She had this dissatisfied expression on her creased brows as she clicked her tongue repeatedly in annoyance.

”What are you still doing~? Stalling~?” Since Lexi was taking quite some time inside the walk-in closet without making any loud noise, Churu came to check what she was doing.

As expected, Lexi seemed she was having a hard time choosing what kind of outfit she'd go. After all, she didn't know where Ethan Lu would take her. Also, knowing him and his antics, it was hard to guess what kind of place they'd go on a date.

Would it be fancy? Simple? Comfortable? Crowded?

”Urgh! Whatever!” Ignoring Churu, Lexi face-palmed and grabbed the black dress that she really liked but haven't gotten the chance to wear even since she purchased it.

”Hayyy… how could she wear something so simple on a date?” Shaking her head as her gaze followed the busy Lexi's figure, Churu heavily sighed as she felt helpless on the dress Lexi chose for today's date. In her mind, she was wearing a grander dress than the woman.

At 11:30 am, Lexi was finally done with her makeup and all her rituals. For the record, this was probably her fastest record in prepping herself on a date. After all, even just going out, Lexi took longer hours to prepare—especially whenever there's a change in her outfit.

Staring at herself in front of the vanity mirror, Lexi let out a one heavy exhaled and a glint of determination flashed across her eyes.

”I will know my answers today,” She murmured, still looking at her reflection as if trying to convince the person in the mirror.

Whatever answers she had in mind, no one knew but her. Regardless, she was definitely earnest to have them answered.

When Lexi arrived at the living area, as usual, her mother and Ethan Lu were already having a good chat over tea with her mother's signature egg tart that she loved since childhood. Lexi stayed where she stood for a while and watched the two at the living area conversed.

Although it was not the first time Lexi had witnessed this scene, however, after her talk with her mother, Lexi somehow, wanted to look at Ethan Lu not as a friend but as a man—even for a tiny bit so she could see the difference.
