Since Ethan Lu focused his attention on Lillian Yang, his mind that was filled with Lexi-so-provoking-and-so-beautiful was successfully put down. After a quick contemplation, the thought of leaving Lillian Yang to eat her lunch alone, he felt sad for his own future son-in-law reasoning.
He knew that she was rooting for their date, however, it wouldn't hurt for the both of them if they accompany her for another hour right? Hence, he suggested that their first stop for their date was to eat lunch with Lillian Yang. Nothing new, but, it was still touching for mother yang.
"No Ethan, it's fine… This day was supposed--" Moved, Lillian Yang smiled gently. However, just as she was about to reject his suggestion, Lexi halted her by placing her hand on hers.
"Mom, I agree with him. I also wanted to eat before going out." For some reason, Lexi felt moved that he was considering her parents and willing to sacrifice another hour of spending time with her alone.
