Chapter 221: I Haven’t Even Disliked You Yet
Under Abigail’s directions, Leon’s ride back to the farm was so uneventful that he didn’t spot a single pedestrian on the road.
As soon as they reached the farm gate, Abigail jumped off the bike and sprinted into Leon’s house ahead of him, heading straight for the sink to splash her face with water.
By the time Leon walked in, Abigail was already sitting in a chair, swinging her legs and grumbling. “When are you going to expand this place? It’s way too small.”
“I live alone. What would I need such a big place for?” Leon pulled a chicken out of his backpack and started thawing, cleaning, and cutting it up while chatting casually with her.
“But just because you live alone doesn’t mean you can’t live well. The way you bought that meat so decisively—it doesn’t look like you’re short on cash.” Abigail pressed.
“Buying meat costs pocket change. Renovating and expanding the house is a whole different matter. As my dear friend, why don’t you chip in a bit? Maybe next time you come over you’ll see a fancy little villa.” Leon teased.
“Forget it. I’m still an unemployed wanderer, waiting for you to become a big boss and give me a high-paying, stable job.” Abigail didn’t hesitate to turn the tables and “encourage” him. “So you’d better work hard.”
Leon gave her a speechless glance, certain this girl was a total slacker. But truthfully, she didn’t need to worry about work at all—her family ran one of Pelican Town’s largest seed suppliers and general stores. They were loaded.
Besides, Pierre and Caroline only had Abigail, so she had no competition for her inheritance. Her future was looking bright.
