Chapter 245 Little spaceman (2/2)
There, Lexi stood with her eyes dilated, her lips in an 'O' shape dumbfounded, and her body unmoving. Her gaze altered from her parent's surprised front as if they were caught red-handed with a crime then to the countless shopping bags on the floor. The more Lexi looked at the paper bags and when her gaze landed on the baby costume that her father was holding, she was entirely rendered speechless.
Behind her, Ethan Lu leaned his head to the side to peek at what's going on. His gaze first reached his future in-laws before he lowered his eyes and saw the things that shocked Lexi. The moment he saw the baby brand on the shopping bags, the corner of his lips curled up from ear to ear, unable to suppress his bright smile and the possible thoughts running through his mind at this moment.
”Goodmorning Mom and Dad~!” Breaking the trio of Yang's silence, Ethan Lu waved his hand that snapped the three of them out of their thoughts.
Just then, the moment Lexi snapped and got a hold of herself, she didn't turn to her boyfriend's side and immediately dashed towards the living area.
”Mom, Dad, what's the meaning of this? Why— why is there so much baby stuff here?!” Lexi reached the first small paper bag that was hiding somewhere behind her mother's back and grabbed the pink small dress inside— showing it to everyone present.
When Frederick Yang saw the baby girl's dress, his first instinct was to question his wife. ”Honey, didn't you say gender neutral? Why was there a baby girl's dress?”
”Honey, I'm sorry! I— just like you, I fell in love with it just look how pretty it is!” Panicking, Lillian Yang staggeringly explained her side for her secret purchase.
”Ha?” Being ignored by her parents, Lexi's distress gauge slowly reached its peak. She was completely lost for a moment as she could not understand why her parents were hoarding baby equipment and clothes.
She wouldn't react like this if it's only one or two as she could think that they would gift expecting parents that they're friends with. However, they purchased too much— to calculate it all, they must have spent more than tens of thousands.
Just what is this, panic buying?! Even if the whole world was ending, no man in his rational mind would hoard baby clothes. Hence, upon a short contemplation, Lexi gasped once again as she thought about one thing: her parents think that she's pre.. pregnant?!
”Hahaha!” Ethan Lu slowly followed Lexi from behind and after slightly bowing his head, he had a closer look at the baby dress Lexi was holding and then some baby bottles on one of the paper bags that made him heartily chuckle.
Picking up one of the paper bags and as he slid out a pair of small baby socks, Ethan Lu's grin was priceless because inside him, an emotion that he could never explain enveloped in his heart.
”Cute, aren't they?” Turning to Lexi, Ethan Lu waved the pair of small socks to her before he averted his gaze to his welcoming and prepared future in-laws.
”Cheer up, love.” He added before turning to face mother and father Yang.
”Mom, Dad, everything looks nice, thank you.” Polite and sincere, Ethan Lu gave his utmost gratefulness for her parents by slightly bowing his head once again.
He was totally moved that her parents were as supportive as ever— even if Lexi would be pregnant out of wedlock. They were the most open and understanding in-laws he could ever wish for in this world. Therefore, how could Ethan Lu not return the same love and respect they have towards him?
Also, although it was still unsure if Lexi was pregnant or not because it's just been a week since they had done it the first time, Ethan Lu appreciated this enthusiasm as he also secretly envisioned as if Lexi had indeed gotten pregnant from their unintentional first time.
Alas, if not, he would not take it to heart and would respect it if Lexi didn't want to carry a child just yet. Regardless, both options doesn't worry him as he was ready with whatever the future holds because he was already blessed to be part of this family.
