Chapter 1407.

Meow~ Luo Nan had just returned to the rented apartment and hadn’t even entered his room when the door next door suddenly opened.

Little Black leapt out from inside and affectionately rubbed his head hard against his calf.

Luo Nan leaned down and picked it up, then waved his hand at Janice standing in the doorway, “Good evening, Ms. Janice.”

The little girl smiled sweetly, “Mr. Ronan, my mother has already prepared dinner, so please come in.”

“Okay.”

Luo Nan handed Xiao Hei over to Janice, and first washed his face in his own home before changing into a set of home casual clothes, and then finally went to Janice’s side to enjoy today’s dinner.

The apartment room that Delores mother and daughter both lived in was a bit smaller than Ronan’s, with only a single room inside, but the living room that took into account the dining room still had no problem sitting three or five people.

When Ronan entered, the old oak dining table was already set with cutlets, fried eggs, vegetable salad, and pieces of fried fish, as well as bread as the main course.

The room was lighted, and under the lamp Delores, with her apron tied on, and a faint blush on her pretty face, looked particularly charming.

Janice was sitting on her seat, with Blackie squatting beside her.

Ronan had seen such a scene many times.

Every time it brought him a cozy sense of peace and joy, feeling like a working man who left early and returned late, and when he returned home, his wife and daughter had long been waiting to eat together.

Luo Nan sat down, Delores ladled a bowl of corn chowder for him and said slightly shyly, “The fish is fresh today, try it if it’s good.”

Luo Nan forked a piece of fried fish and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed a few times, nodded and said, “Not bad.”

Delores’s cooking skills were quite good, and after tasting the dishes she cooked a few months ago, Luo Nan came up with the idea of putting together a meal, and then the daily supper was in place.

Delores, who had received praise, arched her eyebrows and appeared happy as shallow dimples emerged on her white jade-like cheeks.

At this time she did not look like a mother of a five year old child, but more like an innocent young girl.

The dinner, as always, was delicious and cozy.

Luo Nan had just finished eating and was about to go home when the door to his room was suddenly knocked on.

Janice immediately ran to open the door, “Who is it?”

Standing at the door was clearly none other than the apartment’s janitor.

“Good evening, Miss Janice, Ms. Delores.”

This uncle was still very polite, only when he saw Luo Nan sitting at the dining table, he couldn’t help but freeze and hurriedly greeted again, “Sir Luo Nan, I didn’t expect you to be here as well.”

The apartment administrator felt a bit surprised, but wasn’t too surprised.

After all, Ronan and Delores were neighbors, and with a young and strong young man and a beautiful and charming lady, was it strange for the two to have dinner together?

Not at all!

Ronan smiled without answering.

And Delores’ eyes flashed with a touch of shyness as she got up and asked, “Uncle Jon, what do you want?”

The apartment administrator coughed twice and explained, “Ms. Delores, I’m here to inform you that your lease is about to expire, and if you need to renew your lease, you’ll have to increase the rent by two gold pounds per month in the future.”

“Huh?”

Delores was shocked and asked in trepidation, “How did it go up so much?”

This apartment was already very expensive, and in order to pay the expensive rent, she had to work two or three jobs every day to barely support herself and her daughter.

Now another two gold pounds of rent had to be added, which was undoubtedly beyond her affordability!

“No way.”

The apartment administrator shrugged helplessly, “I’m also following my boss’s orders, if you don’t want to renew your rent, please let me know in advance, but no later than the end of this month.”

“Have a nice life.”

He bowed to Delores and Ronan respectively, then turned to leave.

Delores’ eyes were red and she looked overwhelmed after closing the door to her room.

Janice hugged her legs and whispered, “Mommy.”

The little girl could sense her mom’s sadness and grief and could only comfort her in that way.

Delores’ eyes held tears, but still forced a smile, “It’s okay.”

Her heart was desperate at this moment.

Although it was said that after moving away from here, one could go to, say, a place like the Old Harbor District to rent a cheap house, the environment there was just too bad for both mother and daughter.

Delores had long since ceased to be that uninitiated noble family lady, and was very aware of the deep-rooted evils of this world.

“Janice, will you go play with Blackie in your room?”

Ronan suddenly said, “I have something to say to your mom.”

“Uh-huh.”

Janice nodded her head obediently, then took Blackie to the only bedroom.

She was also smart enough to close the door.

Delores wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said apologetically to Ronan, “Mr. Ronan, I’m really sorry.”

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Luo Nan shook his head and said, “Ms. Delores, I have a suggestion, see if it works.”

Luo Nan’s suggestion was that he would pay the rent for this apartment in the future.

In return, Delores would need to produce two meals for him in the morning and evening, as well as the cleaning and laundry of Luo Nan’s room.

It was equivalent to contracting Delores to do all the housework.

This bit of rent was nothing at all to Luo Nan, as he could help Delores solve her problems and make his life comfortable at the same time.

In fact, he had such an idea long ago, only that he was not good enough to rashly propose it earlier.

Now the timing was just right.

“This way you don’t have to work too hard, one job during the day is enough.”

Luo Nan finally said, “You can come back earlier in the evening to accompany Janice.”

After hearing Luo Nan’s suggestion, Delores opened her mouth to say something, only to have crystallized tears overflow from her eyes.

“Sorry.”

She hurriedly wiped away the tears with the back of her hand and revealed a cheerful smile, “Thank you, Mr. Luo Nan, I’m very willing to serve you, you’re a good person.”

This beautiful lady pursed her lips and added, “Actually, you don’t need to help me pay the rent, if it’s convenient, I can move in with Janice to your home.”

That would save a large amount of rent.

Of course, if she hadn’t gotten to know Luo Nan’s character quite well after spending the past few months together, then she would never have made such a suggestion.

Delores was well aware of her beauty and what kind of allure it held for a young man!

But she was willing to take the risk.

Luo Nan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, “Okay, in that case, I would like you to find a simple and easy job, and I’ll pay you a salary in addition.”

“Please don’t refuse.”

Although it was said that sharing a room was not as convenient as being single, who would refuse to live with a beautiful lady?

Ronan wouldn’t either.
