Chapter 218: New Neighbor
"Surprise?" Aiden said awkwardly. He tried to wave before he realized that it would cause the box to topple even further. He was met with two pairs of deadpan eyes. "Hi there, fancy meeting you here!"
"This is my house," Dimitri said flatly. "I live here. What are you doing here?"
"I’m moving in next door," Aiden said cheerfully, putting his box on the floor.
As if to prove his point, Amelia spotted a variety of collectible figurines, along with some books inside the open box. She peered further into the corridor and there were more boxes piled alongside the walkway from the lift lobby. Aiden was clearly still moving in!
Dimitri’s eyebrow twitched. This was a fire hazard waiting to happen! Even if he didn’t know Aiden from before, this would have given him a very negative first impression of his new neighbor.
"You’re not serious. What happened to your old house?" Amelia asked, stunned.
"It’s unlivable," Aiden complained. "Now that Emmeline has the crown prince in her womb, my parents are all circling around her like she’s the fucking sun of this universe. I, their actual son, am as good as a piece of turd on the floor."
Ronan snorted loud enough indoors that Aiden could hear it from outside.
"Hey! Do you have something to say?"
"So they do know you’re a piece of shit," Ronan said. "And I find it very hard to believe that you don’t have your own house elsewhere."
"I do, but I moved here for a change of scenery," Aiden said flippantly. "The neighbors here are a lot friendlier than the neighbors back home."
