Chapter 184
After escaping Haley’s blockade, Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t that he felt guilty—he just didn’t see any point in arguing endlessly with Haley over who was right or wrong. After all, he had only caught a glimpse of the color of her underlining, not her actual figure. If Haley wanted to make a fuss over something like that, what was there for him to say? Better to let a few days pass until she forgot about it.
He entered the Pelican Town square, which was close to the Stardrop Saloon. Parking his car in front, Leon stepped inside and ordered a meal from Gus. Once Gus finished cooking, Leon dug in without hesitation.
“Yesterday you left so quickly, I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye. Did you and Maru enjoy your meal?”
Since Leon was the only customer at the saloon that afternoon, Gus chatted with him while polishing glasses.
“It was great. Your cooking is as perfect as ever,” Leon said, swallowing a mouthful of fries.
“As long as you liked it, that’s good.” Gus mumbled, but seemed hesitant to continue.
Leon kept eating, waiting. He had a feeling Gus wasn’t here just to make small talk—especially since he was taking so long to find the right words.
But even after Leon finished eating, Gus still hadn’t spoken up. Leon sighed. “Gus, how much is it?”
“Ah? Oh, 32G… let’s call it 30G.” Gus blinked, then gave him the price.
