Chapter 1400.
RONAN. Mr. Raymond is a good man.
The words of the little girl, Janice, instantly brought her mother out of her state of anger and her expression became much softer.
“Excuse me.”
This pretty lady lifted her skirt and bowed to Ronan, apologetically saying, “Ronan . Mr. Raymond, please forgive my impulsiveness and offense.”
Ronan returned the salute, “It’s no matter, I can completely understand your feelings.”
After all, Janice. Toland was only four or five years old, and he was a strange adult man.
“I am Delores . Toland.”
A faint blush spread across the pretty lady’s pretty face, “Nice to meet you, Ronan. Mr. Raymond.”
“Same here.”
Ronan nodded politely, “Farewell.”
The other party was carrying a large bag in his hand, and he could smell the aroma of food emanating from it, obviously it was for Janice. Tolan to bring back dinner.
Then there was no need for him to mind his own business.
After saying that, Luo Nan turned around and went back to his room.
Delores. Tolan watched Ronan close the door to his room, then let out a sigh of relief.
She said softly to her daughter, ”Janice, I’m so sorry, I came back too late, you must be starving, right? I brought you your favorite parsnip mince pie.
“I’m fine.”
The little girl tilted her head with a sweet smile, “Ronan. Mr. Raymond is a good man.”
She emphasized again.
Delores lovingly stroked her daughter’s head.
She believed in Janice’s words because the latter had an innately sharp intuition that could sense the good or bad intentions of others.
If Janice said that Ronan was a good person, then it meant that the latter harbored genuine goodwill towards her daughter.
“Hmm.”
Ronan, who returned to his new residence on this side, first put the sandwiches and grilled sausages into the food cupboard, then went to the bathroom to take a hot bath comfortably.
This apartment building provided hot water at regular intervals every day, and there was also a supply of electricity for basic lighting.
Of course the cost of water and electricity was paid for separately.
He had just showered and changed into a set of newly acquired pajamas when he came out, when the door to his room was knocked gently.
Ronan went over and opened the door to his room, only to see his neighbor lady standing in front of the door.
Delores was also holding a dinner plate in her hand with round cookies and other delicate treats on it.
“Mr. Ronan.”
The pretty lady handed over the dinner plate with some embarrassment, “This is a snack I made myself, I hope you like it.”
The previous misunderstanding had made her uneasy, plus there was a need to establish a friendly relationship with her new neighbors, so she took the initiative to come to the door.
“Thanks.” Ronan graciously accepted the dinner plate and said, “Please come in and have a seat.”
Delores instinctively wanted to refuse, but she remembered her own daughter’s words, so after hesitating, she still chose to enter Luo Nan’s room, “Excuse me.”
This pretty lady left a heart and followed Luo Nan but didn’t close the room door.
Luo Nan didn’t care, after inviting Delores to sit down on the sofa, he brought the tea set he purchased during the day and boiled a pot of steaming black tea.
This apartment did not have a kitchen and did not allow fire cooking, so Luo Nan specially bought a set of alcohol burner in the store to cook tea and drink water, and did not expect that it would come in handy so soon.
Meow~
While Ronan was cooking the tea, Blackie leapt out from the study and came over to Delores’ side to sniff her skirt before rubbing her head against the pretty lady’s calf.
“Heh.”
Delores couldn’t help but reach out and jerk her hand, arched her eyebrows and said, “What a cute cat.”
Although Xiao Hei’s size was quite a bit larger than ordinary house cats, it looked round and somewhat naive, with rich and silky fur, which made it feel very good to jerk it up.
In fact, its original appearance was quite fierce, however, since it was integrated into the civet cat spirit body, its appearance and living habits have changed, and it is becoming more and more like a domesticated big cat.
Being jerked off by the pretty lady, Xiao Hei squinted his eyes with a look of enjoyment.
This fellow even leapt up onto the sofa and curled into Delores’ arms, rubbing her plumpness affectionately.
The result was another great boost to this pretty lady’s favorability.
Luo Nan was somewhat speechless as he watched.
Don’t look at Xiao Hei’s cute looks and very close to people, but in reality, it was a ruthless killing machine when it was fierce, with sharp claws that could easily tear open the enemy’s throat.
Usually this guy was only close to him, but he didn’t expect that he would actually be cute and begging to jerk off to Delores, whom he had just met.
It was estimated that the latter had the physique of a cat sucker.
After the tea boiled, Luo Nan poured a cup for himself and Delores respectively.
Then he sat down and chatted with this beautiful neighbor.
After some conversation, Luo Nan realized that Delores came from a broken noble family, her husband died unexpectedly two years ago, leaving her and Janice to depend on each other.
Currently, Delores works in a ladies’ clothing store, and because of her work, she sometimes comes home very late.
Luo Nan could tell that her financial condition was not good, and it was estimated that the money she earned would not be much after paying the rent of the apartment, but the other party was obviously trying her best to maintain her life with her daughter.
There was a hint of fatigue as well as anxiety in this pretty lady’s eyes.
It was only her good upbringing that allowed her to hide her negative emotions.
And when Delores learned that Ronan was a police detective who had come to the Celis Royal Family Higher Police Academy to further his studies, she felt very surprised and then happy.
She said half-jokingly, half-seriously, “To be able to become neighbors with you, then I feel much safer.”
Luo Nan was puzzled, “Isn’t it safe here?”
Although he had only just arrived in Celes, he felt that the atmosphere of the royal capital was very good, and as far as the apartment he was currently renting was concerned, the environment of the location was several times better than that of the lower city of Rand.
Delores hesitated for a moment and said, “Originally it was quite good, it’s just recently ……”
It turned out that during this recent period, there had been a number of disappearances of young girls in Ceres, and the cases had not been solved until now.
Delores had heard some bad rumors because she worked in a women’s clothing store and usually came into contact with a lot of middle and upper class women in the royal capital, so she had been very careful about going home at night lately.
This was also one of the reasons why she lost control of her emotions just now.
There’s such a thing?
Luo Nan couldn’t help but feel surprised as he listened.
Because this was the capital of the Kingdom of Invia, bringing together the largest number of dignitaries, its guards and security forces were undoubtedly the strongest in the entire kingdom, and the number of Transcendents affiliated with the officialdom was also bound to be not a few.
Under the watchful eye of His Majesty the King, there had actually been a number of missing girls that had gone undetected, which was really a bit unimaginable-who was provoking the majesty of Invidia?
Suppressing his inner doubts, Luo Nan smiled and said, “Call me when you encounter trouble in the future, it’s also my responsibility to protect the citizens.”
Delores looked at him and suddenly felt a warm sense of security.
