The confession of the jerk

After they finished the main course, Lexi and Ethan were served with the restaurant's signature pudding for dessert. Throughout the late dinner, they only talked every once in a while albeit always ended with an 'I see' and 'is that so?'.

Lexi dwelled on Ethan's proposal in his mind as she was reminded of her historic past. All her life, her main goal was to marry Morris Liu. Of course, that wasn't a secret to everyone as she never felt ashamed of it.

However, after everything that had happened, Lexi never sees herself in a romantic relationship with anyone just yet; what more get married. It's not that she was still holding on with Morris Liu but to her, she wanted to be in a relationship when she was complete again.

Yet, around Ethan, she felt as if she was standing at the edge of a cliff while he was on the ground; smiling and urging her to jump.
