Chapter 76 The Lowlifes Are Vengeful

It took Leanna a week to settle down.

Even though it was a small city and less vibrant than Highside with its bright lights, it had not been urbanized, which allowed it to retain the uniqueness of a small town.

When she gave Zoe a call, Zoe was surprised and didn’t understand why Leanna would suddenly skip town.

Leanna had always wanted to live in a place where no one knew her after her divorce, but her plans were delayed by matters that kept cropping up. If it hadn’t been for this time where Aidan gave her the opportunity to flee, she might not have been able to make such a decision.

It’s lovely here. Not only is the atmosphere fresher here, the people are friendly and warm too.

She had also agreed with Harvey that if there were any issues at work, they would communicate via telephone. She was only in charge of producing her artwork and sending it to him via email.

It was just that Leanna had no idea how long this period of serenity would last because she was well aware that it was a piece of cake for Aidan to locate her current whereabouts.

Aidan was not ruthless toward her, probably because his conscience had finally triggered a sense of kindness in him.

She loved heading to the river and sitting on the bench every afternoon until it was sunset before she would make the slow return home.

Her landlord was an older woman with a quirky personality. She was obviously in her 40s to 50s, but loved to dress like she was a senior citizen. She was aloof and hated smiling while having the habit of reading the financial newspapers every morning.

Leanna was curious, but never had the courage to ask. The landlord lived on the first floor while she was on the second, so it was rather evident that they did not wish to disturb each other.

When she returned, she shouted in the direction of the house, “Ms. Fletcher, I bought a bouquet of flowers. Is there any vase for me to use?”

An indifferent female voice sounded from inside. “You can search it for yourself in the yard.”

As there were many assorted bottles and vases at the small yard, Leanna was able to locate a suitable vase to store her flowers. After watering them, Naomi walked out with a tray. “Your meal is waiting for you inside. Help yourself.”

Leanna broke into a smile. “Thank you.”
