Chapter 166: Looks Like We’re a Good Match
After clearing out all his stock—three different qualities of parsnips included—Leon went back into his cabin, took a shower, and changed into a clean set of clothes. He then picked up the copper and iron bars Maru needed, hopped on his bike, and left the farm.
He’d timed his departure perfectly. Just as he arrived in Pelican Town and stopped in front of Harvey’s Clinic, he saw Maru in her usual outfit, standing at the clinic’s door.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Leon parked his bike in front of her and greeted her. “I thought you might need a bit longer to get off work.”
“Since I knew we’d be having dinner together today, Harvey let me leave early,” Maru explained with a cheerful smile.
Leon couldn’t help teasing her. “I thought Doctor Harvey might deliberately keep you late.”
“Why?” Maru asked, puzzled.
“Oh, nothing.” Leon waved it off without explaining.
But Maru studied him for a moment, then suddenly grinned. “Oh, I get it. You don’t think Harvey has a crush on me, do you? Haha, you’ve got it wrong. Harvey already has a girlfriend.”
“He has a girlfriend?” Leon was momentarily stunned. It wasn’t that he looked down on Harvey, but knowing the man’s personality and habits, he was surprised. Aside from working at the clinic, Harvey’s greatest hobby was fiddling with radios in his room.
