Rika and Eli's talk last for about thirty minutes, with Eli stressing about the problem he made for himself. Still, as a good friend, Rika swore to not tell a single soul about it — that included Lexi as she would definitely tell Ethan. Then Ethan would surely tell Grandma Gong. Whether it was intentional or a slip of the tongue, Eli would turn into a murderer once Ethan couldn't stop his big mouth from running.
How could a guy be such a tattletale? It was as if he slowly embraced the habit of gossiping. Lexi told them it was Lyrick's fault, but still, they couldn't believe that Ethan had gone to a full-blown gossip guy.
Aside from him flexing his wife to the world and Ethan being the proudest husband that ever existed, Rika and Eli finally had something to agree about. That was Ethan was not someone who should be trusted with secrets.
