FreeNovel"That won't be necessary. I'll see how things go when | meet them," Lucas said firmly.
"Lucas, don't be afraid. While we might not be on their level, we can't appear weak either. You have to show confidence. Otherwise,
they might look down on you," Caspian said.
Lucas remained silent.
Caspian changed his approach. "All right. Just be polite when you meet them. Don't act arrogantly in front of them. After all, they're
way ahead of us."
"You should go to sleep."
"I can't sleep! I'm definitely going to have insomnia after hearing what you just said. Hayden Tate is my idol, you know?" Caspian
protested.
"I'm going to sleep." With that, Lucas hung up the phone.
The next morning, there was a loud knocking on Lucas’ front door.
Still half asleep, Lucas got out of bed and opened the door. Caspian immediately walked in.

Caspian said around a yawn.
Lucas rubbed his eyes and asked, "What tis it?"
"It was a little after six when | left home, so it must be past seven now. Get up! Let's go out for breakfast, and then I'll take you to
get a haircut!"
Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"
Caspian examined Lucas from head to toe and said, "We will need to get you sdecent clothes, too. You can't meet Ivy's
brother looking like this."
"Why can't | meet him in my current clothes?" Lucas questioned.
Caspian said, "Your clothes are terrible! They're not presentable at all!"
"Are you out of your mind? | think my clothes are just fine. If her brother has a problem with my clothes, then so be it," Lucas
retorted.
"Look at you, being stubborn as always! Only Ivy can put up with your bad temper. Buying new clothes and dressing well is a sign
of respect for others. Your old clothes are faded and baggy," Caspianmented.
Lucas turned and headed toward the bedroom, with Caspian following closely behind.
Lucas opened his wardrobe and grabbed a random T-shirt, pulling it over his head.
"Lucas, | listen to you most of the time, so can you please listen tojust once? You know that | have your best interest in mind.
Ivy hase all this way to pursue you. That takes a lot of courage. Now, her big brother ising here specifically to meet you.
It's also a show of respect toward you," Caspian urged.
"Stop talking! | feel dizzy listening to you," Lucas said.
"Just go wash up! We are heading out after that," Caspian said.
Lucas put on his trousers. "The malls aren't even open at this time!"
"We will grab breakfast, then! Restaurants should be open now!" Caspian spoke as though he was the one meeting Ivy's family.
The two headed out for breakfast, and Caspian finished his food lightning-quick before calling Ivy. "Ivy, I'm taking Lucas shopping.
Do you want toe along?"
Ivy was still in bed. She had fallen asleep late the night before and was still half-asleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh... sure! Where are you now? | wille over," she said hoarsely.
"It's fine! We will drop by the hotel to pick you up! You haven't eaten, right? What do you feel like eating? We will pack something
for you," Caspian said. "Lucas takes your brother's visit very seriously! You have to side with Lucas on Friday and make sure your
brother doesn't bully him!"
