Chapter 274 Love, we are here to come clean. (1/2)

When Lexi arrived in the kitchen, she saw Ethan Lu's distressed state as he stared at the epic fail of a dinner that he had made. Lexi chuckled upon seeing that he was near the point of cursing all of his ancestors before she decided to approach him.

Lexi glanced at the soggy pasta noodles and then to the burnt, not so white meat. Lexi took a spoon and had a taste of the sauce— it instantly made her face scrunch up by its bitterness, probably because it was overcooked as well.

”Ugh! This is frustrating!” Ethan Lu grumbled as he turned in Lexi's direction and witnessed her reaction after eating the food he made.

”It's fine. We can cook some more anyway— there's no need to be frustrated about it.” Trying to make him feel better, Lexi proposed as if she wasn't feeling gloomy at all earlier.

”Urgh!” Still, despite her pure proposal, Ethan Lu felt like a failure. He had been learning to cook and was doing great at it. However, he actually forgot this responsibility that he had volunteered for, as he was reminded about the keychain. Hence, he fetched from inside his car and headed straight to the bedroom where Lexi was resting earlier.

He swore that he would just give it to her, but Ethan Lu was too delighted that the keychain did its purpose— leading him to stay longer by her side than he expected. Therefore, all this food for their dinner was spoilt.

”No, I'll just ask Lyrick to bring some food here.” Ethan Lu shook his head as his assistant could save the day or rather, this night.

”Hmm? You don't have to bother him— it's too late.” Knitting her brows, Lexi was baffled as to why Ethan Lu would bother his assistant with this trivial stuff. After all, he never bothered Lyrick Jiang no matter what mishap they had inside their house.

”Uh, right...” Realizing that she was uninformed about his brief call earlier when he began preparing dinner, Ethan Lu explained. ”Lyrick, is already on his way here— I asked him to come because I want to tell you about something.”

Lexi only knitted her brows more as her curiosity intensified. Still, no matter how she asked him about the details, she only got a response from him like this: ”I will tell you when they arrive.”

Therefore, Lexi stopped asking him and headed upstairs to take a hot bath and freshen herself up.

As soon as Lexi finished bathing and doing her skincare routine, she went downstairs with the thought to wait for their visitors to come. However, just as she was on the stairs, she caught a glimpse of Lyrick Jiang, Ethan Lu, and Nico Zhuang in the living room.

”Nico?” She muttered in disbelief. Lexi then saw three washboards near them which made her brows creased even more.
