"How is that possible?" Ernest chuckled and said, "I won't replace trouble for you. That won't do. Besides, your sister is a ticking time bomb. I am afraid that if you two live too near to each other, trouble will still arrive when the people from the Wells family come to disturb you."

Leah blinked and thought that Ernest was really amazing. He had considered everything clearly, and she didn't have to worry too much about anything at all.

Leah glanced at Ernest, a sense of appreciation rose from her eyes.

"You are really thoughtful," she said sincerely.

Ernest smiled gently and said, "You will soon replace that I'm more than that. This is just the tip of the iceberg."

Leah widened her mouth, she could not help but to laugh. She felt that his narcissism could really be off the roof at times.

Yet, that behavior of his really stunned her, so much so that she couldn't help but to chuckle. "Okay, I think that I will surely discover more of your merits."

She thought that they had talked for long enough, but Ernest added, "Of course, I also have a lot of shortcomings, which you will slowly replace out about those too."

Leah was stunned once more. She was a little speechless, butthen she laughed again.

"That's right, everyone has their merits and weaknesses, I have a lot of flaws too." She protected herself first, in hopes that he would not be too startled when he found out about her weaknesses. However, Ernest smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I will forgive your flaws open-heartedly. On the contrary, I hope that you will treat me like this too. I hope that you will accept my shortcomings and praise my merits. I hope that we will improve together, to be the best versions of ourselves."

"Since you have said so, how could I disagree?" Leah felt moved after seeing him like that.

Ernest smiled again and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so polite with me. I don't want a lot from you, but there is one thing, and I have to repeat it."

Seeing how serious Ernest was, Leah could not help but to sit straight. She looked at Ernest and said, "What is it? Tell me." "That is, you can't simply ask for a break up with me. I don't like people who like to threaten me with breakups, and I don't like to talk about divorce after marriage too. These are all taboos," Ernest said seriously, "I think that when two people are together, they will definitely encounter these problems, but all problems can be solved. If we can't solve it, we can discuss it, we can ignore each other for a period of time, or we can even put the problem aside, but we just can't break up."

Perhaps it was because of their previous experience, when Ernest told her about that, he was exceptionally serious.

Leah could feel how serious he was, she nodded seriously and guaranteed, "Okay, I understand. In the future, I won't simply bring up a break up, and I won't simply think about it either, okay?" "Okay, let's see then," Ernest said.

The car left the apartment's parking lot.

Ernest looked at the time, and it was almost time for lunch. He asked, "What do you want for lunch?"

Leah thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Anything works. Should we go back and cook?"

If they were to cook, then they needed to buy groceries first.

"Let's eat outside." Ernest made his own considerations. If they were to cook, it would take them a long time to head home, and their time would be wasted. It was better to eat outside together, and then buy some food so that they didn't have to go out again in the afternoon.

Those were his plans, but he did not tell Leah about it.

"What do you want to eat?" Leah was not sure what she wanted to eat. She looked at the streets and the restaurants outside, but she could not make a decision.

At that moment, Leah's phone rang.

She glanced at the phone and told Ernest, "It's my best friend Lydia, I will go and answer the phone first."

"Oh, okay." Ernest nodded. "Answer the phone first. I will look for a restaurant and just park the car then, so that we can eat there. Will that do?"

"Of course." Leah then answered the phone.

Lydia's voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "Leah, I have to go back to my hometown. I was supposed to have a meal with your boyfriend, but I have to leave first. We won't be able to eat together. Sorry about that."

"Are you two going to go back already?" Leah was greatly surprised. "Didn't you say that you will stay a little longer?" "I can't. I found a job, so I need to go back for internship." "Really? Then you guys can leave first. Let's eat together in the future, if we have the chance." Leah thought that it was a great opportunity that was hard to come by for her to get a job and internship. As for gatherings, they could do that any time.

"Yes, so you must remember that you and your boyfriend owe me a meal," Lydia said as she chuckled.

"I know, I owe you that, okay?" Leah was not hesitant at all. "I will treat you two times even next time, okay?"

"You're a great friend." Lydia laughed loudly, she was really happy. Then, she laughed again and changed the topic. She asked in a plain and rough tone, "Oh, that's right, how many times did you two f*ck last night?"

Leah did not expect Lydia to be so blunt and bawdy. She was so serious a little while ago, but the moment she changed the topic, the atmosphere completely changed. She was taken aback for a while. She subconsciously looked towards Ernest, only to see his lips slightly curled. He must have heard it.

All at once, Leah blushed.

She said on the phone, "Hey, why are you asking that?"

When Lydia heard how serious she was, she burst into laughter once more and said, "Oh, so your boyfriend is beside you, that's why you're shy. Well, so what? I just care about your happiness. How could you be embarrassed just because of this? We used to talk about this often, didn't we?"

Leah felt even more embarrassed.

In the past, when she did not have a boyfriend, she could talk about those things casually. However, she had a boyfriend then, she felt embarrassed, especially when he was right beside her and hearing their conversation like that.

Leah felt that Ernest's impression of her and her best friend must have completely changed. How could she still be considered her best friend after that? She was clearly just a troublemaker. she and her best friend was having such an unscrupulous conversation. How awkward was that! "All right, is there anything else?" Leah asked her seriously without acknowledging what she said. Lydia laughed out loud.

"Ha... You can't even take a joke anymore. You weren't like this in the past. You shouldn't hide your true self just because that you are in a relationship. Leah, if you suppress your true nature too much, then your boyfriend won't get to know the real you. In the future, when he discovers your true nature, he'll be shocked." Lydia's tone changed again and she said, "So, you must think this through. Think about what I said. Do you want to continue suppressing yourself and your true nature? Suppressing your true nature will also hinder your real strength in bed. You won't be happy that way."

"Shut up." Leah really felt defeated when it came to her.

She really had the guts to say just anything.

She felt greatly abashed.

However, Lydia was not bothered by it at all.

"I'm not going to shut up. I'm serious, girl, you should think about it carefully. Stop trying to suppress your true self. Otherwise, you will definitely be too depressed. As you said before, when you fall in love with a man, you will throw yourself at him no matter what, and it doesn't even matter if you are the one who takes the initiative when it comes to things in bed. Don't forget your promise."

Leah put on a fake smile and said, "Do you actually remember my joke? Does that mean that you've been doing everything that you've previously jokingly said too? I'll need to learn from you then."

"Haha, I'm talking about you. Why are you directing it back at me?" Lydia laughed and said in a very naughty tone, "It seems that you have been doing what you said you would do, and that must be why you're so confident. It looks like you don't need my reminders too. Fine then, I won't remind you anymore. Bye."

Lydia finally stopped joking around, not crossing the line. She ended the call soon after.

Leah was blushing, her face was red and hot.

She secretly glanced at Ernest, only to see that he was looking at her too.

Leah was stunned, she subconsciously looked at Ernest carefully. Only then did she realize that the car had already arrived at the destination and was put to a stop.

The restaurant was right there, and all they had to do was get off the car.

Leah looked out carefully and realized that it was a restaurant with a good environment. It was themed to appeal to younger couples and looked really great.

She immediately smiled to cover up her embarrassment. "We're here, shall we get out of the car and go for dinner?"

"We're not in a rush." Ernest smiled faintly. "I roughly heard what your best friend said, and I think it makes sense."

"What?" Leah pretended to not know what he was saying as she blinked her big eyes. No matter what Ernest said, she would not admit anything.
