Chapter 249 Mother knows bes (2/2)

Well, how could she know? Although Lexi knew that Ethan Lu came to her house the moment he returned after his soul-searching skit— Lexi didn't ask the details as she was rather busy at that time with Taming Hearts and nearly forgot about it.

”When Ethan came here that day, he looked so nervous I thought he was feeling unwell. Then, when he finally got the right amount of courage, he bravely announced that he likes you… in front of me and your dad— it was a silly scene, I will never forget it.” As Lillian Yang recalled the day Ethan Lu dared to sit them down and say that he came there as Lexi's suitor, not her friend.

”Dear, when I heard him say that, I told myself 'wow, this child.'” Lillian Yang lightly shook her head still bearing her gentle smile. ”And then, he said he really likes you to the degree that he's willing to marry you, so his confession turned into something I never expected— Ethan, he, in the most sincere way he could, asked us for our blessing to marry you, funny right? But, hearing him say that he not only wanted you to be his lover but also his wife— I felt it.”

Lexi shortly pursed her lips hearing this story that sounded so familiar. Well, Ethan Lu always did tell her that he was pursuing her with an intention to marry her. Still, hearing that Ethan Lu did not only verbalized it to her but to her parents, she was utterly moved.

”So I know, even if you'd get pregnant out of wedlock, Ethan will take responsibility— he is the only man aside from your father that I can entrust my daughter with.” Lillian Yang ended with a sweet smile that rendered her daughter speechless.

Although her daughter has been long engaged with Morris Liu in the past, Lillian Yang had always been against it at first. However, with the young Morris Liu showing genuine care and concern with how he helped Lexi get back on her feet again after that kidnapping incident, she finally agreed to it.

Still, the difference she felt between Ethan Lu and Morris Liu was like heaven and earth. Lillian Yang, never once had the slightest doubt about Ethan Lu's intentions that he had towards her daughter. She never knew why but her motherly instincts told her she could trust him.

After all, Ethan Lu has always been sincere since day one and that personality never waned until now. Rather, as he became more comfortable around the Yang couple, Ethan Lu turned more and more genuine.

It was still a mystery to them how this man could be so humble despite his family status. Which led them to a question: was the news that Ethan Lu was a rebellious child, just mere hearsay?

Regardless, if Ethan Lu accepted their daughter along with her flaws then, they wouldn't mind Ethan Lu's past as well. What's important to them was that the Ethan Lu they fortunately met is a nice, reliable person.

”Thanks, Mom.” Meekly smiling back, Lexi tightened her grip on her mother's hand that was tenderly holding hers. ”Thanks for letting me know and your advice back then.” Referring to the advice that Lillian Yang had told her to open her heart to him and give Ethan Lu a chance— she was grateful that she had said those words to her. If not, perhaps, Lexi would still be denying her feelings and there would be no Lexi and Ethan Lu right now.

”Mother knows best, dear.” Chuckling, Lillian Yang mildly rubbing the back of Lexi's hand with a contented smile. She added, ”I am just glad that you'd return to us— my sweet loving daughter.”

”I will visit when I don't have class.” Diverting the subject, Lexi uttered and her mother only responded with a nod.

Both the mother and daughter duo then checked out the baby stuff together. Lexi accompanied her enthusiastic mother and left a few comments on their choice of clothes and asked a few questions about what the purpose was for the other tools which Lillian Yang gladly answered.

Soon, Frederick Yang also joined them as he canceled all his appointments that day to spend the rest of the day with his family. He also boasted about his baby spaceman outfit and the baby boy toys that he had kept hidden all along.

That day, the whole Yang mansion gleamed with laughter and ease with the family of three catching up on business matters and Lexi's newfound knowledge on the business line of her choice.
