Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 195

Ethan looked conflicted. He hesitated for a while before suggesting, "Why don't you order first?"

Samantha felt speechless.

He contemplated for a while, but still couldn't say what he wanted.

…

After grabbing the menu, she ordered a steak and fruit juice before stopping there. The steak was 588 dollars and the juice 88 dollars. She didn't dare order anything else, or she'd be broke.

"That's all for me."

"Alright."

Ethan took the menu and started ordering, but still didn't bring up why he had asked Samantha out. She was about to lose it and was practically pulling her hair out.

The woman at the next table couldn't take it anymore and walked over to sit beside Ethan.

She seemed to be in her 50s, wearing glasses, and with long hair. She had some subtle wrinkles but still carried herself with grace. Her smile was pretty gentle, too. "Are you Layla's friend?"

"Layla?" Samantha perked up when she heard the name. "Are you talking about Layla Hamilton?"

The woman responded, "Yes. That's her."

She beamed, her eyes soft and kind. "Ethan has a crush on her. Just the other day, I saw him grinning at a photo of a girl. When I looked closer, I realized she was the same saleswoman who had shown me the house before.

"She's gorgeous and knows how to engage in a conversation, like a sweet and sensible young lady. Ethan is way too introverted, but Layla is outgoing and chatty. They're just perfect for each other."

Ethan got a little shy and tried to interrupt the conversation. "Didn't you promise you'd let me handle this, Mom?"
