Chapter 173 Full of Surprises

Lexi had wandered with Greyson for a little while, making small talk as she allowed

She found herself pleasantly surprised by his ability to hold a conversation and he

didn’t seem to fawn over her, nor reject her which intrigued her greatly.

noticed.

and whether or not girly c*oc*ktails were your style was anything to frown over.” He

chuckled lightly.

Lexi snorted.

“See, that all depends. It’s a tricky question. It’s kinda difficult to make up my mind on
